True King's Ecstasy

"Now I get it, this is something like an amplifier, it combines with the body of the orey and changes its qualities."

Velian said while looking at the dead pig, which looked like something out of a nightmare, as it looked demonic.

"If that black thing won't come out of their body, it will die along with the body they combined,"

They took notes of every single thing that looked useful and suspicious and used them to turn more livestock into demonic creatures by extracting liquid from Hannah's body.

"Hmm~ look, it can't move even though It is practically free, without a host it can only wait for something to get close,"

For another few hours, all the mages and Velian also did some experiments and managed to find a solution to deal with it.

The semi-final of the tournament already started so in his stead, Velian asked Daphnia to oversee the fights and it really made most of the fighters demotivated because they thought the organiser of this event lost interest in their abilities.

"Juno looks like they are going to regret challenging us," Velian said with a happy noise and looked at Hannah, who is already half dead and got close to her with a bottle of water and poured it all over her head.

"I don't know how to thank you, you are like a gift to me, if not for you trying to attack me, I wouldn't have been about to find all these new things," He said and look at the stone he held in his hand.

"For your service, I will give you one chance to achieve your desire, and as an apology for what I did to you,"

Velian suddenly released all the chains that tightly held her hands and legs leaving her free.

Hannah slowly regained her consciousness and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Velian looking at her with his eyes looking rather happy.

"Damn you! Damn you! Velian, using me like an experiment subject, I won't ever forgive you," She said weakly and tried to punch him, and this time Velian didn't even bother to dodge as her punch looked, even more, weaker than a toddler.

"I guess I took too much blood from you, well we can't fight like this, one sneeze from me will kill you," Velian thought as he thought about what he was going to do.

'Wait! Is it okay to kill her? I might be able to do more experiments on her. Her healing ability and the seducing ability of her mana, I have so many things I want to find'

Velian wanted to see the effect of the solution he came up with on a human target before using it in a battle, but looking at Hannah he didn't know whether it was a good idea.

"You stole everything from me!"

*Sobs

"My family, my name, my heart and now you're stealing my life and my beauty, what did I ever do to you? Why are you doing this to me?" Her eyes started pouring down like a broken dam, which made Juno feel a little awkward.

She realised that Velian is like sweet honey for them, but for the others that went against him and challenged him, he looked like a poisonous throne.

"Juno, who is the worst prisoner we have? Except for her and Pete," Velian questioned like he was up to something.

Juno knew he was up to no good, but she answered him honestly.

"There are some pedophiles and woman abusers and killers, we couldn't exile them because they are on the death penalty," Juno answered and Velian thought hard about it.

"Ask our men to prepare the worst one out of them, I don't mind a slightly powerful one, at least C or B ranked,"

On Velian order, she acted and brought a grim-looking man into the room with Delviny and Lyra also following them.

"Veli, what did you do with Hannah?" Delviny questioned, but Velian just smiled at her and pointed at the room where screams came from, but everyone ignored them with an awake face knowing that Hannah won't have an easy life from here onward.

"So you're the worst one, I guess you're strong enough for our work," Velian got close to him and observed his face.

It looked like a face of a bandit with a lot of cuts and burnt marks.

"Is it true that If I can succeed in this I will get freedom?"

The convict asked with a happy face, but Velian couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Yes! Yes! You will, What are you going to do after you get your freedom? More crimes?"

The convict doesn't understand why he sounded like that, but he just nodded his head.

Even though he had an innocent look on his face, inside he was lustfully looking at Delviny and wondered what he was going to do, as soon as he gets his freedom.

He knew Delviny was too much even for him, so he decided to leave this kingdom and use small villages around the area so he won't have to suffer in a prison cell.

'This idiot'

Juno muttered under her breath noticing Velian's mana going crazy, but she quickly decided to take some distance.

"Come!" Suddenly Velian grabbed the convict by his collar and dragged him to the glass cage, and dropped him into it where the black thing was already lurking around.

At first, the convict had no idea, what was happening but soon he saw something crawling down his leg and freaked out while shouting hysterically.

"Help! Help me! This thing is eating me! Noooooo!"

As the convict continued to thrash around in terror, the black parasite crawled it's way up his leg and began to take over his body. Its tentacles wrapped tightly around his limbs, as if unwilling to let go. The convict could feel it pulsating with otherworldly energy, as though it was imbuing him with its own malevolent power.

He screamed in agony as the transformation took hold. His skin turned as black as midnight, and his eyes glowed with a sickly green light. Horns sprouted from his forehead, and his fingers elongated into razor-sharp talons. His muscles bulged and twisted, reshaping his entire form into something utterly inhuman.

The convict's screams turned into a mad cackle as he revelled in the new power coursing through his veins. He raised his newly-formed claws and brought them down on the glass and chains that bound him, shattering them with ease.

"So that's how it is, I understand why I was brought here," His voice sounded entirely different with more power to it, but Velian and Delviny both kept looking at him with their face showing no interest.
