Chapter 29
“Leave the head intact.”
“……What nonsense are you spouting now?”
Hearing Eight’s words, Mew thought he was joking. If not, he was just pretending to be cool, as usual.
Typically, such bravado disappears the moment reality strikes. Mew gestured to his subordinates. The beastmen, who had been waiting solely for orders, rushed immediately to Levitan and began to hack at her body.
Shnk shnk went the sharp blades piercing her flesh, while Levitan gritted her teeth and endured the pain. She didn’t let out a single groan. It wasn’t that she wasn’t suffering or that she hadn’t trained for such things; it was simply that she felt utterly embarrassed by the situation.
She felt ashamed for betraying her comrades who had trusted her and for dragging them into this perilous situation. Even considering that it might not have been her will, it didn’t change the facts.
Fwoooosh!
The beastmen, surprised by her silence despite their brutal treatment, looked back at Mew.
“This girl hasn’t screamed even once. What should we do?”
