Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

85 Darkness After satisfying his stomach, Onil asked.

_ What have you come for? Alessandro spoke.

_We need you to tell us about the noble who kidnapped you.

_I don't like to talk about that.

Onil replied with some fear in his voice.

_ Do I need to know where they take those children and what they do with them? Otherwise I won't be able to help them.

_ Are you really going to save them? _I will finish off the culprit of all this, I will make sure that they don't hurt anyone else again.

Onil hesitated for a moment, then began to speak.

_Baron Terren's guards take all the children they find to the dungeons of Baron Terren's mansion.

_ And what did they do with them? _They experimented on them, I don't know what exactly they did to them, but every day I heard the children's screams, they screamed in pain, it was horrible.

_And how did you escape? _When they were taking me to the room where they did the experiments, I kicked the guard in his lower parts, then ran desperately until I reached a crack big enough to fit through.

_ Could you take me to that place? _I don't want to go back to that place, I'm scared, if they catch me again...

_I'll go with you, I won't let anything bad happen to you.

Onil looked at Otis and he told him encouragingly.

_I'm sure everything will turn out well.

Onil sighed heavily and said.

_Okay, I'll take you there.

Alessandro sent Otis back to the temple and they headed to Baron Terren's mansion.

Onil led them through a small forest behind the mansion, then led them to some doors that led to the basement.

They followed the little boy who walked ahead of them.

In the basement there was a passage behind some wine barrels.

_It's this way, this passage leads to the dungeons, the passage is wide but the exit is not, it's narrow and I doubt they can get through.

_Don't worry, we'll take care of that.

As they entered the passage everything went completely dark, they could only hear the child's voice saying.

_Walk straight, the exit is at the end of this passage.

At the end of the passage they saw a light coming out of a small crack, Onil told them in a low voice.

_ It's here, if they leave they will be in the dungeons.

_Thanks little one.

Alessandro told him while patting him on the head.

Onil looked at the crack and said.

_ You won't be able to get through there.

_Don't worry about it little one, I'll make the door bigger, back off a little.

Onil backed away from the wall, Alessandro used his wind magic to knock down the wall making a lot of noise, the guards ran to see what was happening, seeing that the wall was already destroyed several men who had sneaked into the dungeons drew their swords, but Alessandro used his magic to take away their air and leave them without breathing, defeating them with great ease.

The guards left the passage and dragged them to one of the empty cells, leaving them locked up.

When Alessandro saw that there was no danger, he asked Onil to leave the passage and told him.

_Show me where they do the experiments.

Onil was afraid, being in that place again terrified him, but he wanted all that to end, for no other child to be taken to that place, so he gathered his courage and guided Alessandro.

to the room where they took the children and from which they never left again.

When they reached the door of that room, they heard the screams of pain of a child.

Onil stood still, terror paralyzed him.

Alessandro told him to step back, and he knocked down the door.

Inside was Baron Terren, he had a strange shape, he was half human and half monster.

He was devouring a child.

Alessandro had seen many horrors during the war, but this turned his insides.

Baron Terren just devoured that child, wiped the blood from his mouth and said.

_ Who are you? How dare you interrupt my meal? Alessandro unsheathed his sword and replied.

_ Is this what you've been doing to the kids? Devouring them.

_Yes, they are tastier, their meat is more tender.

_I'll tear you to pieces, you damn bastard.

Alessandro lunged trying to attack him, he dodged it, he had great speed and used his claws to hurt his back.

Baron Terren tasted Alessandro's blood and at that moment he knew who he was.

I don't like adults, but His Majesty's blood is delicious, it will be a pleasure to devour him and I will surely receive a good reward from King Venobich, I will get rid of his enemy, although I think he doesn't even consider him his enemy, but rather an annoying stone that stands in his way to get what he wants.

_What does King Venobich have to do with what you've been doing? _He gave me this magnificent power, in exchange I only had to do a few experiments for him.

_ What did you do to those children? _Apart from devouring them, you say, not much.

Baron Terren took a black stone from his pocket and showed it to Alessandro.

_I just used this to give them darkness, but it didn't work, everyone died so I started experimenting on myself.

He swallowed the stone, a black shadow enveloped him, Alessandro felt a chill run through his entire body.

He gripped his sword tightly and used his magic to create armor to cover his body, Baron Terren approached him and said.

_That won't do you any good, there's nothing that can stop the darkness.

The closer Alessandro got, the more he felt that darkness permeate him, bringing out something dark and sinister inside him.

Alessandro used the wind to throw him away, but barely had he made him retreat a little, Baron Terren laughed and said.

_ Seriously? Is this all the great king Alessandro Veriatte can do? How disappointing.

As more time passed, Alessandro saw how Baron Terren's human form began to distort and turn into darkness, the entire room was sinking into that darkness as thick as ink, except for a small part where there was an oil lamp, the darkness seemed to stay away from that light.

Fire thought Alessandro, I need fire to defeat him.

Alessandro tried to reach the lamp, but Baron Terren stood in his way and said to him.

_ Where do you think you're going? Baron Terren was standing near the lamp, Alessandro used his wind magic to move her, turn her around and spill the oil on the ground creating a barrier of fire between them, Baron Terren stepped back from the fire, Alessandro used his wind to fan the flames and corner Baron Terren in a corner.

_Stop, put out that fire.

As the fire advanced, that darkness disappeared until it was all cornered in a single point, the place where Baron Terren was.

Alessandro made the flames of fire go towards him, making him burn and said to him.

_Now you know what I'm capable of.

The flames covered it completely and did not stop burning until nothing was left but ashes.

When Alessandro saw that there was nothing left of him, he used his magic to put out the fire.

Alessandro approached the handful of ashes that were Baron Terren and after making sure he was completely dead, he said.

This is what you deserved, you fucking pig.
