Bab 336: Hope (warning : torture)

Syryn was dragged away by two other half-demons who acted as his guards when they weren't torturing him. His handler, the skinny demonic creature with grey leathery skin walked briskly ahead of the guards, taking them through several turns of the dungeon that housed their prisoner.

"You will know the dire consequences of disobeying me, Syryn," the handler snarled at the mute half-demon. "When you killed yourself, our emperor had you brought back to life by sacrificing another one just as powerful as you are. A pity, I say, because Lucien was more loyal to his blood than you could ever be."

Syryn recalled the poisonous red-headed demon and felt sorry for him even if he was a sadistic demon lord who didn't deserve any pity.
