Chapter 28: 18 Haha, sweating buckets, right?

To rule this prison, the Prison Director was not a man of indecision. He simply didn’t understand why Le Cheng would do such a thing, but after knowing the whole story, he no longer hesitated.

"Divine Mighty!"

As his voice fell, a pink halo descended from the sky, instantly enveloping Le Cheng.

"Rot in the despair of depravity, haha!"

The Prison Director laughed cruelly, harboring deep hatred for Le Cheng. As a former White Robed Bishop, he was unlike ordinary followers. Having been blessed by the God of Slaanesh, he intended to let Le Cheng endure endless torment and die in the most painful and desperate circumstances.

Hmm?

Le Cheng looked around and noticed a drastic change in the scenery. He seemed to be in a bizarre palace with pink air that was so comforting just by looking at it, making one want to completely immerse themselves forever...

However, at that moment, something grabbed his foot.

Le Cheng looked down and to his shock, it was a person... The reason it was shocking was that this person was half-corrupted, lying in a pool of murky blood, his features grotesquely twisted with a serpent-like long tongue coming out of his mouth. The hand, half bone and half rotting flesh, clutched his calf, trying to drag him down.

More and more corrupted people emerged from the blood plasma, emitting spine-chilling noises as they moved, twisted, and crawled darkly through the blood like zombies.

It was a scene straight out of Hell.

Had it been an ordinary person, they would have been terrified beyond control.

Suddenly, Le Cheng felt a sharp pain on his face. Instinctively, he reached out to touch it, and with that sticky sensation, he pulled off a piece of bloody flesh from his face. As the flesh fell, his fingers even touched the bones on his face.

Then, the pink mist in the air soaked into his flesh, causing his body to start corrupting as well.

But Le Cheng laughed.

"So that’s what it is."

Without hesitation, he stepped forward. Countless corrupted individuals blocked his way, trying to stop him, but Le Cheng didn’t even look at them. Even as they began frantically tearing at his body, he remained utterly indifferent.

Gradually, the corrupted people began to retreat, becoming fewer and fewer, and the deadly pink in the air faded until the entire palace disappeared behind him.

When the figure of the Prison Director appeared before him again, Le Cheng touched his face, which remained intact as before.

"You... how can you..." The Prison Director stared at Le Cheng, his face full of shock, "Why are you still alive?"

"How strange?" Le Cheng shrugged nonchalantly, "It’s just a mere illusion. You can hardly expect to kill me with that. You might as well hope I’d kill myself."

"Illusion... That’s no ordinary illusion technique!"

The Prison Director clenched his teeth, still in disbelief. His illusion technique was a divine blessing, projecting the Pleasure Kingdom of the God of Slaanesh—the Illusion Realm of Slaanesh Palace. Although it was indeed an illusion, the Pleasure Energy in the realm could gradually erode the enemy’s mind and will. Once the enemy’s spirit wavered even slightly out of fear, everything happening in the illusion would become reality.

And then, all one could do was watch helplessly as their body corrupted and they walked towards death.

That Le Cheng emerged unscathed meant not only was he unaffected by the Pleasure Energy, but his spirit and will were so steadfast they barely wavered—an unthinkable thing...

"Impossible?!"

"No one can face death unafraid, not even the bravest warrior. Deep down, they still hold a reverence for death, you..." As the Prison Director was saying this, his expression suddenly changed. Right, no one could be fearless against death, but what if it wasn’t a human?

"I get it, you are not human, you monster!"

The Prison Director, as if he had made an incredible discovery, widened his eyes.

"What nonsense, you want to deny my humanity? Why don’t you try reaching the sky!"

Le Cheng rolled his eyes, suddenly teleported, and his sharp fingers aimed for the Prison Director’s neck. But the Prison Director, clearly prepared, dodged the attack. However, he then felt a sharp pain on his waist, and the next moment, he was kicked flying.

"Didn’t see that coming; you’re quite agile for an old man."

"..." The Prison Director didn’t utter a sound, hurriedly adjusted his body mid-air, but before he could stabilize, Le Cheng stepped on his face.

Bang!

His head struck the hard ground, leaving the Prison Director dazed and cross-eyed.

Damn it, hitting the face is too much!

Being humiliated and stepped on by the enemy, the Prison Director was filled with a mix of shame and fury, wishing he could tear Le Cheng to pieces. However, as a mage-type character who was not proficient in close combat and having lived luxuriously over the years, the thought of tearing Le Cheng to shreds remained just a thought.

Soon, the Prison Director was overwhelmed; Le Cheng was simply too fast, not even giving him time to cast spells. Although he wasn’t reduced to a punching bag, he could only barely fend off some fatal attacks and was still inevitably battered.

"Damn you, you scum..."

Bang!

"My face..."

Bang!

Although the Prison Director was at a disadvantage, his body was extremely sturdy, as if an invisible energy was protecting him, preventing Le Cheng from inflicting any fatal wounds. So, he deliberately aimed for the opponent’s face, kick after kick—in the blink of an eye, his rounded face could almost compete with Oink.

"Thud!"

Only when he spit out two broken teeth did the Prison Director finally lose his patience.

"Damn it, can you stop hitting my face already!"

"Haha, now you’re finally sweating bullets, huh."

"Your mom..."

The Prison Director, with his bruised and swollen face, had never expected Le Cheng’s strength to be so formidable. If this went on, not only would he be sweating bullets, but his life would be in jeopardy.

He needed reinforcements!

He didn’t believe he could lose to Le Cheng. The reason he was losing was due to the failure of his Illusion Technique, causing him to lose the upper hand and be in such a dire situation. He just needed a chance to catch his breath, to cast his spells again, but... why were the reinforcements not arriving?

He didn’t count on those prison guards, since they had all gone mad.

But what about Jack? Marilyn? Oink?

Had they all betrayed him?

Even if those three had betrayed him, surely Brady wouldn’t betray him too?

The Prison Director was baffled.

...

At the same time the Prison Director was being beaten into looking like a half pig-head, in the cafeteria.

"Oink, what the hell do you think you’re doing?"

"I’m inviting you to eat."

"I’m not eating. What time do you think it is? That traitor Le Cheng... My great uncle is already calling me, Oink, if you haven’t betrayed me, then let me leave now!"

Brady glared fiercely at Oink, his body radiating a murderous aura, but Oink remained indifferent, simply pushing the noodles on the table towards Brady.

"Eat."

"Go away, I’m not eating!"

"You’re hungry."

"I’m damn not hungry!"

"Are you really not hungry?"

"Of course I’m—"

Bang!

Oink picked up an axe from beside his feet and heavily slammed it on the table, calmly looking at Brady.

"No, you’re hungry."

"..."

Brady subconsciously swallowed saliva, facing Oink’s expressionless face. Suddenly, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Oink had been willing to stay in the prison for ten years as a cook due to a contract with the Prison Director. But before that, he had another title—Heavenly Butcher!

Brady secretly weighed their combat abilities, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and obediently sat down.

"You... you’re right, I must be hungry."

"Then eat, it’s free."

"Alright... alright."

Brady nodded and cautiously began slurping the noodles.

"How does it taste?"

Brady looked up, squeezing out a strained smile, "Really... really good!"

"That’s good, after this bowl, there are three more."

Brady: "..."

Are you trying to kill me by stuffing me to death?!
