Chapter 85 - Heartless
Now having broken Martyn's sword, Yuki quickly clenched his right hand and landed a clean punch right in the middle of Martyn's chest.
"What happened to all that heroic talk?" Yuki asked.
Martyn leaned forward to try to catch his breath as he wrapped his arms around his chest in hopes of easing the pain. However Yuki wouldn't allow that to happen.
Yuki grabbed hold of Martyn's head with both his arms before smashing his knee into his head. Now feeling dazed from taking the abnormally strong attacks from Yuki, Martyn could barely understand what was happening. However, Yuki was just getting started.
Yuki then clenched his left palm and punched Martyn's jaw, causing the man-demon to be knocked back a few meters.
"Where did you gain this strength from?" Martyn said while stuttering as he tried to regain focus.
Not wanting to waste time, Yuki quickly ran towards Martyn instead of answering his question. Without uttering a single word. Yuki once more punched Martyn's chest. However this time, he directed Martyn's body towards the stage ceiling.
Martyn's body slammed into the ceiling, causing it to have a permanent dent. Martyn's body then returned to the ground as his helpless body fell face first into the ground.
Yuki then walked slowly towards Martyn. As the man-demon began to stand up, Yuki pressed his foot on his head, in turn causing him to collapse once more. Even though Yuki had already beat up his enemy, he wasn't finished having fun. Yuki continued to press his foot on Martyn's head, constantly moving it ever so slightly as to cause more pain.
"How does it feel to be the one on the ground for once?" Yuki asked.
Martyn didn't reply to Yuki's question. However, more than anything, Yuki was pleased by this.
"That's fine, you don't need to reply," said Yuki before leaping into the air and landing on Martyn's back.
Martyn let out a large gasp for air as Yuki's legs crushed his ribs.
"Just give up the knight in shining armour act. Everyone has their own selfish desires. Not a single person or creature is ever truly pure. The corruption within humanity is what makes it truly beautiful, there's no need to be ashamed of it," said Yuki.
"What do you want from me?" Martyn asked as he gasped after each word.
"My real mission here is to kill you so that I get exp and move on to the next stage, however I want something else now. Your attitude really annoys me. So... get on your knees and admit that you're weak," Yuki replied.
"I would rather die right here than say those accused words from my mouth," Martyn replied.
"Suit yourself," said Yuki before walking away to grab his treasured swords.
"Are you going to kill me now? Thank you. I can die with honour," said Martyn.
Now walking back to Martyn's body after retrieving his swords, Yuki sighed in disappointment.
"I guess you win, you can have the honorary death you've always wanted," said Yuki.
...
"Just kidding," said Yuki as he gave an evil grin towards Martyn.
"You're not getting out of this without admitting defeat," said Yuki as he plunged "Fallen angel of hell" into Martyn's left arm, using it to pin him to the ground.
"Do you wanna give up now?" asked Yuki.
"I will never submit to you," Martyn replied.
Hearing this, Yuki gave a blank stare and plunged "Niflheim's holy treasure" into Martyn's right arm just as he did to his left.
"How about now?" Yuki asked.
"Never.." Martyn said as his voice trailed off as if he was dying.
"Where do you think you're going?" Yuki asked as he kicked Martyn's face, snapping the demon back into reality.
"You seriously won't let me at least die in peace?" Martyn asked in an irritated tone.
"No I won't, not until you say the exact words I told you to," Yuki replied.
Martyn went silent which caused Yuki to get annoyed. There was no fun in torturing someone if they didn't cry and beg for mercy.
[Open inventory]
Yuki pulled out about 10 daggers which he had stocked up on after he completed the first dungeon. Yuki then slowly walked around Martyn's body as he stuck a dagger into the demon's body one at a time. Yuki waited until the demon tried to stop himself from yelling before sticking another dagger into his body. Each dagger caused an immense amount of pain however Martyn didn't yell out once.
"You're quite tough. I'm starting to really think that you're never going to give up," said Yuki before letting out another laugh.
Yuki once again went around Martyn's body, this time he bent the already stuck daggers ever so slightly at a diagonal. It made it so they would cut through the demon's skin but would still keep him pinned to the ground.
Yuki thought about asking the demon to give up once more but he knew that Martyn would just ignore him. So instead, Yuki once more leaped on Martyn's back and stomped on it rapidly. Yuki did this for so long that he began to get caught up in the act. At some point, Yuki snapped back into reality. He could hear the agonized scream of Martyn. Hearing that, Yuki quickly jumped off his body.
"Are you finally done?" Yuki asked.
"...Yes.." Martyn replied.
This answer brought a smile to Yuki's face.
[Open inventory]
Yuki quickly pulled out both his treasured swords as well as all the daggers from Martyn's body. Yuki placed all of his blades back into his inventory. All except one, which was "Fallen angel of hell".
"Now, announce your weakness to me," said Yuki.
The bloodied Martyn brought himself to his knees and bowed in front of Yuki.
"I AM A WEAK DEMON AND DO NOT HAVE ANY PRIDE LEFT. I HAVE NO HONOUR LEFT WITHIN MY BODY OR SOUL. I WILL DIE HERE A SHAMEFUL DEATH," Martyn yelled out before falling face first into the ground from the blood loss and exhaustion.
"Good job," Yuki said with a smile before walking towards Martyn's chest and plunging his foot through his heart, instantly causing Martyn to die.
