Chapter 58: Nightmare Day - 2
"Lamp!"
I say aloud, determined to use magic.
A mass of magic appears just above my head, illuminating my surroundings.
"Good thing I have a map."
The sewers were narrow, smelly, and intricate.
"It's natural to use a large sword, but I don't think I can swing it. I guess I can rely on a single knife..."
But only small rats and insects appeared.
When the light shines on them, they run away.
The target is Viscount Kyrgy's territory on the other side of the castle.
But before I get there, I notice something strange. No, I notice a strange smell.
"Why is the sewage so full of it..."
It is the stench of death
It's the smell I often smelled from a corpse several days after being attacked by monsters or bandits.
The smell is followed by something more unusual.
"The sewage is color red...... blood!"
The sewage is turning redder and redder!
The direction of the flow is still in the direction of Viscount Kyrgy's mansion.
I sped up and moved further
And there was
"Even if it's a corpse...... there are better ways to die..."
They were dismembered corpses.
All of them looked as if their limbs had been forcibly torn to shreds.
No, that's not even close.
A corpse with its abdomen cut open and organs jutting out.
Skinned corpses.
Corpses with every joint bent in the opposite direction.
Burnt corpses.
Mangled corpses.
Corpses with nails hammered into their bodies
All of them have one thing in common.
They were all intact from the neck up.
All with a distorted expression of pain.
The worst is the still-warm corpse on top of the others
A girl with a swollen, reddish-black left arm and scratches all over.
Their navels had been pierced with small holes, through which organs had been removed and forced into each other's genitals.
Their wrists and ankles were bound together.
"Please stop!"
I heard a voice from somewhere.
I noticed a light leaking through a crack in the ceiling.
"No! No!"
"Yes, cry more! That's good! More!"
It was the worst sight I've ever seen.
A child tied to a wooden chair, a man trying to nail her to it.
"Ahh~~~ I can't stand it~!"
The man is excited without clothes on
And he hammered the nail as hard as he could.
"Gyaaaa!"
"Ooohh!"
The man ejaculates at the sight of the child in pain.
It's disgusting.
But the walls are too thick to do anything about it.
"Shit! I'm not gonna make it in time!"
It may be night outside, but I don't care!
I need to contact them immediately and move.
I didn't realize it at the time
I'm being tailed by someone.
-------------
"Watinas-sama!"
"Ooh! W-what's wrong?"
My master had already finished his meal and was in his bedroom.
"I'm sorry, sir. It's an emergency."
"No matter. Go ahead."
“The king and his guards, as well as the military police and Count Sermus, may head to Viscount Kyrgy’s mansion.”
"What? Tomorrow?"
"No, tonight. Maybe even right now."
"Nonsense! It's too soon."
“Viscount Kyrgy’s actions have been exposed.”
"......That's a hell of a look you got there. What did you see?"
An adventurer walking in the sewers.
I followed him, and what I found was a horrifying sight.
And that it was ongoing.
"...It's bad, if the relationship between us and the Viscount is found out, it will cause a firestorm. I wonder if the king will believe us even if we say we're innocent."
"...Watinas-sama, I foolishly think that this is the time to move."
"Hmm... can you [make] a victim?"
"I have someone under my command who can help. It is possible."
"Good. We stand with the king. You will protect the victim as soon as you are ready."
"Understood, I'll be there as soon as I've secured them."
"Imperial guard! Head to the royal castle immediately. Get ready!"
"Ha!"
Now my master's dreams will be crushed.
But it can't be helped.
It's far better than everything coming to nothing.
At least if Kyrgy had not been such a madman.
I could have made a plan to make my master the new king.
