Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline

[Lucy's POV: ]

He was on the brink of death, his body barely holding on to the last strands of life.

Though not quite dead yet, his fate was inevitable in this dark room illuminated only by the dim flames on the two sides of this room that she had turned into a miniature hell with all the blood-strained ground and a brutally tortured bastard pig's body hanging to that fucked up Mithril table where he f-...

'Haaa...'

As each passing second brought him closer to his ultimate fate, which was of course his unsightly and painful death at the hands of my dear witch, his consciousness held on by a fragile thread.

It was only a matter of time before that thread snapped, and he would be sent straight to hell where he belonged for the punishment less brutal for all his sins against the huge number of negative Oz he had accumulated throughout his filthy existence.

'But, he can't go just yet.'

Not until she finishes the last thing she has to do with his disgusting physical body.

There was a reason these bastard demonic creatures were demons.

There was a unique organ nestled within their foul figure, pulsing with an eerie energy that was disgusting in itself.

A heart unlike of the kind they resembled, imbued with a malevolent power that seeped through their very being, driving them towards acts of unspeakable darkness and depravity.

'Still, what they did with their cursed bodies depended partly on themselves and this bastard choose to do those fu*ked up things to those innocent little children.'

Those hearts resembled a crystal, something that was the same as the Mana crystal she was holding but too different from its purely natural state.

'It was disgusting yet pretty good as a product that would go for a decent price so we had to get that.'

And in the course of doing so, she can have her own... unique fun so it was starting...

Some very gruesome things were done for torture in the medieval ages like dripping people in rivers multiple times, cooking them inside a weird metal bull, crushing them inside a female metallic structure with spikes long enough to make their bodies as holed as she made him at the start, stretching their limbs with a strange device, crushing their thumbs with that thing she liked, and those were only the things I can talk about with this much difficulty.

'Things like that 'pear' or 'cradle' were so horrible that I don't even want to think about their cursed names.'

And one of that fucked up things I didn't want to see here as well was, (Blood Eagle).

This was something that although was good sounding, some might understand what that thing was just from the name.

'Humans with wings? Well, of course.'

That was the epitome of cruelty that although didn't exist on this planet, definitely was somewhere in this worldline.

She was doing something similar to those horrific things but, at least we had a reason this time.

There was no need for too much blood in this torture but, well, he was still conscious and she was going to open him now.

"A-aaaaa..."

There was no energy in the 'thing' that had done far more horrible things than-

'Well, cross that.'

I wasn't good at narrating things like this and there was no need to go too graphic, or was there?

We had gotten a good offer a while ago and the messages after that great war she sparked between those gods, angels, and demons were definitely something commendable.

She knew provoking those basterds was something that increased their interest and although some were angry, some were really interested in us now.

And the results of that thing were:

=====================

[Request: A god from ###### has asked to see the sinner dead however you want.

Reward: <Crest ring> (1-time use), 4500 Oz.

[Oz possessed: 12098]

=====================

This was the best offer we got after their internal quarrels.

We had sure lost some money but in front of this huge gain, it was nothing.

Provoking them like this was something we can do because we knew we were famous enough to receive such things as that reward for free.

The gods normally can't interfere with lower worlds too much and it would take us a very long before reaching their level.

So for now, calculated provocations were ok.

We can't join a single side but we can definitely receive the benefits from all the sides. That was the ONE's way.

Whoever was offering this reward was generous enough to give us their ring of [Authority], the ring that held some power of the god, and the ring that directly disclosed the identity of that god.

'Well, disclosing their crest was the same as disclosing their IDs.'

IDs were special things in this world and if we knew who was watching us then we can do something to them in the future for sure.

Giving something so valuable to kids like us was mere entertainment for them. But they chose the wrong children. And were naturally not going to overlook such precious free thing.

But, whoever this one was had given not only the ring but also some Oz so they seemed to be good guys.

And, there was no special requirement for this reward so I also had no problem with this.

We knew it could clearly be a trap but, well, we would see that after receiving the reward.

Right now, she was wearing her black gloves again after making a deep cut on his back and there was a surgical mask on her pretty face.

Yeah, she wasn't going to do something similar to those mindless medieval things... for the first time in this world.

[El's POV: ]

With a knife covered in thick mana, I started the opening.

Standing at the back of this sinner hanging by the table, with this knife in my hand, tracing the spinel area of this pig, I shoved the knife deep into his back.

"Mmmmmm!"

Blood splashed everywhere except my clothes and the bastard's dead eyes came back to life, and pain-filled muffing sounds came out of his dead mouth.

"Mhuuuuuuuuuu!"

Not minding any of his wobblings, I made a door to this bastard's back.

Door... meaning I made two half-box-like uneven shapes as if opening a gift in a unique box.

-Putchhhh. Scatch, scatch, scatch. Putchhhh...

The sensation of this sharp knife cutting the thick flesh of this pig bastard was disgusting but still nostalgic.

The way blood flowed out of his body was something more annoying but, thankfully, I knew what to do to keep his consciousness intact for as long as possible.

'This bastard was something that lived on negative Oz, or we might have swindled that money with his filthy heart too.'

This lowly bastard was rich, as well as far more powerful than both of us in terms of stats but under the influence of the curse, he was nothing more than a fragile little twig.

-Swaaaaash!

I looked at his obnoxious open back with weird-looking organs that looked weirder than they looked in my game and used my skill to check this bastard for the last time.

============

'Just looking at that number gives me chills...'

That much negative Oz was something that at least a medium-ranked sinner would have but, his power was in the range of new sinners.

'Just thinking about things this damn sinner pig bastard might have done to obtain this was enough motivation to open his damn body!'

He had given up and was dead silent now and, my heart was bored already so it was the end.

This despicable wretch was hardly worth a second glance, yet the spoils of his filthy end were more tantalizing than the mere satisfaction of doing all those simple things to him.

-Puchi!

His back was open already and just imagine what would you see when you open the back of a demon.

The... fuck.

The body before me was beyond description that defied any conventional understanding of human anatomy.

It was as if every bone, every muscle, every sinew in there had been twisted and warped beyond recognition, creating a grotesque form that can curse all common visual, olfactory, and touch senses.

This was a demonic body and aside from all the black-red blood, the inside was totally different.

I had already pulled out his ribs and lunges with a little difficulty and from the way this table was made, it was easy to do it in a position that was perfect for adjusting his body in the prone position.

Lucy was looking at this shit with eyes that had tears falling in an unstoppable way.

He was forcing himself and it was clear what was going on in his pure mind.

Seeing a living person, even though it was this pig, in this situation was hard for him.

But, well, this was the end.

As his body was opened up in this gruesome way, the soul in his body had already left for the gentle underworld where it would belong for at least a few eons.

The pig fell lifeless and after taking out the black gem from the place his heart should be, I threw the blooded gloves on the other side.

Searching through the organs and insides of a demon's body was disgusting in itself but, our work was done.

And, after fixing the dead body under time so that potions can take effect and return him to a proper physical condition, I went back and fell on the warm lap of sweet darling.

The surgery to fix his body was exhausting, so much so that I was now out of mana even with the mana crystal, which was a condensed form of good quality Mana, fully used.

"You did well," he said while caressing my head.

I tried my best but there was still filthy blood on me and I had no mana to clean even that.

"You too," still, I answered my darling that had suffered because of me, and, if not for him, I might really have lost my temper, mind, and myself during that session.

Thankfully, everything was settled, things had ended in a positive way, and there was another golden box before our eyes...
