Chapter 172: Arbiter (1)
True to his word, Adrian turned Vincent into an origami project. By the time he was done, Vincent didn’t even have the strength left to groan in pain. His immortality had turned into a curse from a blessing.
Every bone of the elf’s limbs had shattered several times, to the point that Vincent appeared to have no bones left. They were just a mass of flesh that Adrian tied together, turning the left into a glorified backpack.
Even Taurus was surprised to see Adrian’s cruelty. But he was more surprised by the fact that Vincent was still alive. The elf’s shattered facial bones had punctured an eye, and he accidentally bit into and tore his tongue while Adrian was smashing his face on the ground.
It was truly a pitiful state. Rowan and Shu were gone, and now that Vincent had been reduced to a vegetative state, Alfvania’s future looked bleak.
Adrian would have done a lot more to the poor elf, but he was short on time. After doing everything he did to Vincent, he only had a minute before he had to leave. Thankfully, it was enough for one final act of revenge.
I’ve already initiated a war by killing two princes. I might as well rub some salt on the wound.
With that thought, Adrian grabbed a bunch of spears left by the fallen soldiers and impaled Vincent to them before putting him up in front of the church’s door.
As much as Adrian wanted to sever the bastard’s head and put it on a pike like Ahuli did with the heroes, he decided he didn’t want to test the limits of Vincent’s immortality and kill him accidentally.
Besides, he wanted the elves to remember the price of messing with the wrong people and thought that watching Vincent in such a state would pull their minds out of their asses and correct the errors of their ways.
It was wishful thinking on Adrian’s part, but he was willing to give them a chance to change.
Shit! I got carried away!
