Chapter 29 - Adventurers' Group vs the Devil (part 2)

"AHHHH!"
The archer kept screaming while Oya destroyed his leg. Lucien thought it was not enough and started to stomp his belly, causing the poor man to choke with his own blood.
"You could have shot as many arrows as you wanted at me... But did you have to aim at my woman? Unforgivable!"
Marie, Anne, and many other adventurers could not look at the brutal and disgusting scene. Everyone's thinking was the same about Lucien and Oya. "The devil and his faithful companion."
Oya has an excellent connection with Lucien, so she felt the same anger towards the archer. She bitted him slowly in the most torturous way possible.
Lucien listened to the adventurers' murmurs as he continued to stomp on the archer's body. He didn't care to be called a devil or anything like that. He was just so angry that the archer tried to hurt Mia.
Jeanne could no longer hear the poor man's muffled screams and begged Lucien to stop. "You already hurt him a lot. Please stop!"
Lucien took his foot off the archer's chest while Oya stopped devouring his arm. "Would you have spared him if it were your nephew attacked without reason?"
Jeanne could not deny that if someone dear to her were attacked without reason, she would be very angry with the attacker. But she wouldn't go so far as to torture the person.
"I would bring them to justice and not torture them to death!"
Lucien took a step back, and everyone thought that Jeanne's words had made him rethink his actions...
But then he quickly smashed his ebony boot hard on the archer's face. His boot broke the bones and teeth of the poor man, who could not even scream anymore and only trembled while spitting out what was left of his blood.
Lucien pressed his boot slowly while Oya tore the archer's belly, spreading his guts across the ground. Lucien looked at Jeanne and the adventurers while speaking loud enough for everyone to hear.
"I don't care about justice. It's what will happen to anyone who thinks of harming my women."
Everyone got the message, and most of them paid attention to the fact that he said "women," so they concluded that he also talked about Marie and Anne.
Jeanne couldn't believe that an A-rank archer died like that in front of her, and she can't do anything. Lucien is not only powerful and brutal, but the tigress seemed to act as an extension of his body. She knew they had no chance of winning despite being in such a large group.
All she wanted to do was leave before the devil killed more of her comrades. Jeanne gave Marie and Anne a sad look; even if though they were Lucien's prisoners, there was nothing she could do.
Jeanne bowed slightly to Lucien as she spoke in the most respectful way she could. "I apologize again for attacking you. If you allow me, I would like to leave now and not bother you anymore."
She thought Lucien would not try to go any further as a conflict would be fatal for both sides, but he seemed to know no limits.
"We still have a lot to talk about."
Lucien looked to the side and motioned for Marie and Anne to approach. The girls didn't think of refusing as they didn't know what kind of things he was capable of.
When Marie and Anne came close to Lucien, he surprised everyone. "You, two idiots, come out from behind the trees!"
No one noticed that the elven brothers had come out from behind the group of adventurers and hid in the trees close the road, but Lucien saw them and heard their murmurs.
When the eleven brothers heard Lucien's shout and saw him looking in their direction, they knew they were screwed. They were terrified and could not move.
Everyone looked in the direction Lucien was looking expecting to see something, but there was no movement. Then Lucien looked at Oya and didn't even need to say anything because she understood his intention.
*Roar*
The elven brothers were already terrified, but when they heard Oya's scary growl, they couldn't help but come out from behind the tree and run towards Lucien. They did not want to end up like the poor archer.
Some of the adventurers could not help but frown as they came to help the elven brothers, but they fled in the first danger that appeared. They knew that Lucien and the tigress were enemies that they could not defeat, but abandoning their comrades like that was not a popular thing with adventurers.
Some were also angry at the brothers for getting them into this trouble. So they were happy when they saw the urine trail behind one of the elves. They are obviously terrified.
The elven brothers quickly arrived in front of Lucien and knelt while pleading. "Please forgive us! We thought you were with the mercenaries and would hurt Marie and Anne. We just wanted to save them."
Lucien smiled when he understood the whole situation. He had already heard much of the brothers' murmurs while they were hiding.
Marie and Anne were very angry with the brothers because not only did they abandon them, but they also caused this horrible situation.
Jeanne also understood something because the brothers had said before with certainty that Lucien was the enemy of the girls, but now it didn't seem like that. When she was about to ask, Marie started to tell what really happened.
Everyone heard the story and got angry at the brothers for running away and still saying that Lucien was the enemy when he clearly saved the girls. But one thing was true; Mia was with the mercenaries and attacked Marie.
All adventurers knew about conflicts with mercenaries, and many of them gave Mia strange looks. Lucien noticed this and spoke loudly to make his point very clear. "Mia was a mercenary, but now she is my wife. If anyone has anything against her, you can say that I will listen to you..."
Mia was more and more embarrassed. She seemed to be in a romance story and didn't care that the ground was full of the guts and parts of a man, but that Lucien kept calling her his woman and his wife.
Jeanne didn't know what to do. She didn't like the brothers' shameful behavior, but she also didn't want to let Lucien torture them to death. She could only promise to report the guild, and they would punish the brothers accordingly.
The girls were very angry with the brothers, but they preferred the guild to punish them. But Lucien didn't think so.
"After I save your comrades, you appear out of nowhere and shoot an arrow at my wife. The mistake is clearly the misunderstanding made by these idiots."
Jeanne realized that Lucien was still angry and would not let things end that easily. But she didn't want to see anyone else die and tried to argue. "You ignored several laws and killed the archer brutally, so please don't kill them either."
Lucien looked at the brothers with a calm look without showing any anger. "I will not kill, but... They have to suffer some punishment. They seem to be very experienced in "running away," so I think one less leg won't be a problem."
"What?!" Everyone was confused by Lucien's words.
The elven brothers were terrified and could not even speak. Jeanne feared the worst but had to ask. "What do you mean?"
Lucien started patting Mia's head, who had approached him. "Look how cute she is... Your guys tried to shoot an arrow at this beautiful face... "
"Now, I want one leg from each one. Either that or I kill... for me, both are valid solutions."
Jeanne did not know how to negotiate with Lucien. He seemed to be insane. He prevented any argument by saying he could kill them, so she couldn't think of a way to stop it. If she tried anything, he could kill more people...
Everyone understood Jeanne's silence as acceptance and could not believe that she would let this madness continue. The elven brothers could no longer bear with fear. One passed out, and the other tried to escape.
Lucien didn't think twice about giving the order. "Oya! Just one leg."
*Roar*
Mama tigress acted quickly by jumping at the elf runaway and brutally ripped his leg off. The poor elf screamed in despair until he passed out.
Everyone just wanted to get out of there. They couldn't stand to see that bizarre show anymore, but they couldn't just run away, or they could end up like the poor archer.
Lucien didn't let the other brother get away with it just by passing out, and Oya also ripped his leg off. The elf woke up to scream but soon passed out again by the pain.
Jeanne sent some adventurers to pick up the elven brothers and apply basic first aid to them. She would take them back to the guild, but she no longer knew how to report something like that...
Marie and Anne did not like the bloody scene, but they could not deny that it was a deserved punishment. If Lucien had not saved them, the mercenaries would not have mercy, and the brothers had abandoned them so quickly. Now, they had one more thing to thank Lucien for.
Jeanne started praying for any god to give Lucien a little bit of mercy to let them go. She again tried to say goodbye, but things weren't over yet, and she can't help but curse mentally. "He's worse than the devil!"
Lucien looked at Jeanne and spoke earnestly. "We have one last question. The archer did not willingly shoot the arrow. Someone gave the order. Who did?"
The adventurers wanted to cry and scream. "You can't be serious!"
Jeanne couldn't help being afraid. "You promised me that you wouldn't hurt him!"
Lucien saw Jeanne's concerned look and understood who she was talking about. "So the leader is your nephew? I said I wouldn't kill him, but I didn't say anything about not beating or maiming..."
Mason started to shiver from fear. He's a powerful A-rank adventurer, but the cruelty he saw today took away all the courage he once had.
Jeanne was no better than Mason. She had several thoughts of ordering the entire group to attack Lucien, but she feared not only him but also the big tigress. "Please. Let us go, or it could end up bad for all of us..."
Lucien looked at Jeanne and then at the other adventurers with a stern look. "You know there is no way for you to get out alive if we get into conflict. I am not deliberately attacking you but asking for justice for my wife."
Jeanne did not know how to argue with Lucien, nor did she want to. She just wanted this nightmare to end. "There has to be a way for you not to hurt him. It was the elves brothers' fault, not ours."
Lucien gave Jeanne a strange smile and was about to place his order when L.u.s.t called into his mind. "Don't use that serving talk, idiot! Make her go on a date with you then attack when she is off guard."
He would follow all of L.u.s.t's advice as he knew nothing about relationsh.i.p.s. Then he tried a more causal tone while talking to Jeanne. "If you go on a date with me, I can forget about it."
"Heeeeee?"
No one could take any more listening to the devil's follies. He's very insane, and Jeanne just wanted to bang her head against a rock and wake up from this damn nightmare.
But Lucien was still looking seriously at her, waiting for her answer. Jeanne knew she couldn't let this madness continue, and she had to promise to go on a date with the devil himself. "Okay..."
Lucien clapped his hands excitedly as he changed his mood, making everyone want to vomit blood. "Excellent! So let's all go back to the city together!"
When everyone thought the nightmare was ending, Lucien quickly changed his mood and spoke in a severe tone. "Oh! I almost forgot. And the archer who shot the arrow at me?"
"WHAAAAAAAAT??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"
Some adventurers started to feel sick. Jeanne had a headache. The archer began to cry in the middle of the group.
Then Lucien started to laugh. "Hahahaha... It's a joke, guys."
L.u.s.t couldn't help but comment on Lucien's mind. "It was not a joke. And you are so evil..."
