Chapitre 287: Chisel (Part 1)

"A nerve bundle in your deltoid muscle."

"Do your worst, witch." He replied while gritting his teeth. "If I'm already dead, I have nothing to lose. You can make me scream, but I will not betray my comrades!"

"Comrades? This means they are your buddies from the army." She giggled.

Eberst bit his tongue in despair. Then, everything went off the rails.
