Home The Gentleman at the End Chapter 188 - Chapter 188: Chapter 187: Pain PrevDuke Garirison patted his belly, feeling the burning heat brought by the deadly betting game. After stretching his mouth wide and using his fingers to pick out the living worms between his teeth, he gave an evaluation: “Despite throwing out such a dangerous number as 11, you still take the risk to try this. It’s clear that the dark memory hidden deep in the brain has a profound impact on you, and I too am very curious about how your ‘Death Attribute’ was activated.” Even a personage like the Duke, when probing Yi Chen’s memory, still couldn’t see clearly a segment of memory hidden in the deepest, darkest place. Or rather, that segment of memory had been obscured by death, ... much like dismembered bodies buried all over a cemetery; the true form can’t be seen through external probing. Only Yi Chen, the subject himself, actively recalling and piecing together these limbs could possibly restore this memory. This segment of memory shadowed by death corresponded precisely to the last moments when Yi Chen escaped the Orphanage. The Duke also got interested and waved toward the dark recesses of the ancient castle. An arm immediately stretched out from the darkness, and with it, a ‘Iron Chain’ as merchandise. After observing the chain in his hand for a while, the Duke said dissatisfied: “Don’t make do with this ordinary stuff, hurry up and bring out the chains stolen from the ‘Monastery’ last time.” The hidden storekeeper started rummaging, and eventually found a chain with a spiky surface and bloodstains, a special kind of chain. When the Duke took this chain, his body’s adaptability trait immediately gathered a large amount of fat around his palms to prevent the spikes from penetrating and to protect against the inherent danger of the chains. Contemplating the special chain that concealed pain, the Duke couldn’t help but remember some interesting experiences. After thinking for a while, the Duke, like slurping noodles, directly swallowed the chain into his body, where the chain slid along a controllable internal cavity and eventually landed in the chamber housing both Yi Chen and Lorrian, coiling around both of their bodies. Strangely enough, when the chain tried to wrap around Lorrian’s body, a layer of silvery moonlight flashed across his skin. Snap! The chain was forcefully repelled and couldn’t wind around. Such a sight even felt incredible to the Duke, “With the consciousness fully projected in the betting game, the Physical body can actually achieve this extent. Not bad… In that case, William has to suffer. A whole chain of penance from the Monastery, can your body bear it?” Since the chain couldn’t bind Lorrian, it wound entirely around Yi Chen’s body. As the spiky surface of the chains dug into his body, a pain indescribable swept over him, to an extent that had transcended the limit of human tolerance. … [Orphanage – Art Hall] As soon as Yi Chen split Teacher Fang’s head with an axe, the ‘Deadly Betting Game’ commenced. Upon hearing the prompt from the betting game system, learning that killing Teacher Fang garnered twenty points and a special reward, a smile bloomed on Yi Chen’s face, confirming his conjecture was correct. Indeed, there was a ‘quick completion mode’ in the Orphanage, simply put, it was about forcing one’s way through with the most violent methods. The resentment and hatred Yi Chen harbored deep inside for Fang Qiong were fully released in this moment. Ignoring the screams from Teacher Fang that were like sonic waves…Whoosh! Yi Chen pulled out the axe that had split the skull, swinging his body largely, preparing to follow it with another beheading strike. He shifted his right foot to stabilize his balance, charged his arm, twisted his waist and turned his back, for Yi Chen, who had beheaded numerous Patients with an axe, this movement needed no thought to execute naturally. Everything about the strike, from the onset to the force, and the chopping path, was flawless. “Die!” The bloody eyes trailed a bloodthirsty pupil. The burning axe blade drew a smooth arc of fire in the air, chopping into Teacher Fang’s neck, but… Clang! A crisp, loud sound of iron striking echoed throughout the hall, the flame-dwindling axe was flung into the air, its blade even cracking an irreparable fissure and becoming unusable. Yi Chen’s right arm was jarred to the point of dislocating the elbow, and blood spurted from the base of his thumb. “What kind of Hardness is this…” Yi Chen’s eyes widened as he stared at Teacher Fang’s cut neck and spotted a hint of metallic luster. This version of Teacher Fang within the betting game had already Transcended physical structure; an unbreakable, metallic, gleaming chain structure ran through her body. The flame Hand Axe borrowed from the canteen was better suited for cutting flesh, not this kind of metal. At that moment, Teacher Fang raised both hands. The Iron Chains embedded in the bloody walls of the Art Hall shot out, their curved hook ends directly piercing into Yi Chen’s flesh, at the back of his neck, shoulder blades, palms, waist, inner thighs, and ankles. The same Iron Chains also targeted Moon Trace Lorrian not far away, clanking~ The chains rose, displaying both individuals in a ‘spread-eagle’ position in mid-air. However, such physical penetration and stretching pain had been experienced by both before, and they showed no signs of pain… Yi Chen, however, thought rapidly under the stimulation of pain. Thinking of a breakthrough, his entire brain seemed to smoke because of it. Below, in the center of the Art Hall, as Iron Chains moved through her scalp, Teacher Fang’s head had been restored, She could not accept that the youth she admired, and even had affections for, had been acting all along, even plotting to kill her. But she could not bear to shred such a perfect body, such a handsome young face; she still loved the youth before her. Thus, a sick thought arose in her heart, [Painful Torture] By infusing endless pain, she planned to transform Yi Chen into something of hers on a spiritual level. Teacher Fang stared at Yi Chen almost madly, her hands constantly scratching her face, tearing her skin! “Who told you to be so disobedient, there’s only one way now…” With a wave of her hand, two distinctly different chains shot out from the wall, their surfaces covered in bizarre spiked structures. Whoosh! S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The chains pierced directly into the navels of Yi Chen and Moon Trace Lorrian. [Quality]difference. Yi Chen’s eyes instantly filled with bloodshot lines, his forehead bulged with veins, and his head became congested! Ever since his body changed, he had not felt real pain for a long time, nor had he screamed in agony. Ahh!!! An agonized scream that seemed to tear his throat apart burst forth from Yi Chen, Pain, unimaginably intense pain! Yi Chen experienced a level of pain like never before, and even with all his pain receptors off, he couldn’t lessen it by the slightest. Even more extreme, Moon Trace Lorrian had already fainted from the pain, spikes growing from his skin; the special Iron Chains were rapidly destroying both body and soul, and he would never transcend. Whoosh! Spikes began to grow on Yi Chen’s body, too, and with the emergence of each spike, the pain increased another level. In his view, it was utterly impossible to endure. His consciousness became increasingly muddled as spikes grew from his flesh, even his eyeballs and eyelids sprouted spikes, preventing him from closing his eyes… Slowly, his consciousness nearly dissipated. At that moment, Yi Chen felt as if he was about to return to that dark sea symbolizing death. But then, A piece of recent memory hidden deep in his brain surged, pulling Yi Chen into a ‘boundary’ between life and death, and before his eyes, Zed’s Paradise materialized. Zede, with bandages wrapped around his eyes, was inserting every spike-like needle into Yi Chen’s every acupoint—amplifying the pain and continuously pushing Yi Chen’s endurance to the limit. “Can’t you hold on anymore, Yi Chen? You are the only gentleman in Zion City who has a perfect affinity with me, and you are also my only student, Zede.” “It hurts so much, this pain that transcends the body, I just can’t suppress it~ah!” “You could eat little fish and shrimps on a daily basis, but can’t handle a banquet of sharks? I’ve never taught you to suppress the pain. Besides, why suppress it? This is a feast given to you by others, there’s no need to refuse, right? What you should do is[accept]it, joyfully accept the generous gift of pain they offer, turn it into the nourishment for your body, and feed your body miss, making her more beautiful and obedient, more lethal as well. Be grateful to the powerful adversaries who gave you pain instead of killing you outright; they’re all kind-hearted people…” As the memory ended, Yi Chen’s eyes suddenly snapped open! His pupils focused instantly, staring down at Teacher Fang below, conveying genuine gratitude. Prev
