Chapter 734: The monster
"And if I choose to admit defeat are you going to spare her life?" The old man asked. He didn’t seem afraid of death himself but he cared about the eel-like beast.
"Yes, I will, so just give me your answer or I’m going to attack," Jayden said in an impatient tone.
"Then I’ll admit defeat," the old man said. Then, jumping off the beast, he stood in front of Jayden, leaving his sword behind. With a firm expression, he added, "But before going any further, please kill me, that’s my only request."
".."
Jayden looked into his eyes and went through his memories. The old man showed no resistance, otherwise, Jayden might have gotten hurt with mental energy.
This old man was the right-hand man of the previous king and the strongest warrior that the king had.
He was the only one who had the strength to stop Malgor in his early stages, but at that time Malgor played tricks in such a manner that left this strong warrior completely helpless and grieved.
Before killing the king, Malgor brutally murdered the wife of the old man and kidnapped his daughter.
When he arrived at his home, the old man was devastated to find the lifeless body of his wife lying in such bad condition. She went through a lot of pain before death finally embraced her.
He tried looking for his young daughter everywhere, but she was nowhere to be found, and while he was in that state, Malgor killed the king and took over the entire beast tribe.
There was no way for this man to fight an entire army alone and only later did he find out that Malgor was the one who murdered his wife and kidnapped his daughter.
After that point, he had to work for Malgor. He stayed in this prison for several decades and just hoped his daughter was alive.
His beast is just like his daughter to him, so he couldn’t allow her to die. Letting Jayden pass meant the death of his daughter, so he chose his own death.
After looking through all those memories, Jayden spoke:
"It is, right?" He replied and didn’t say anything further. There were all kinds of people kept in these prisons, but he was not interested in any of them.
After a while, he arrived in front of the cell which was constantly producing growling noises. Jayden stopped in front of it and looked inside.
A beast with the body structure of a human, his whole body red and countless wounds all over it, was chained inside the cell. He kept releasing loud roars as he tried to free himself, but it was impossible for him.
"Who is he?" Anna asked curiously.
"It’s Caleb," Jayden answered as he gazed at that beast.
"Caleb? Oh, that’s him?" Anna pondered and then she finally remembered Caleb.
When Bael sent that divine beast to kill Jayden, it had thrown Jayden’s consciousness into a dream.
And at that time, Jayden had seen an extremely brutal dream in which a man named Caleb had turned into a flesh-eating monster. Then he killed his own wife and brother and the entire village, then he became Bael’s servant.
"Yes, it’s him," Jayden replied as some unpleasant memories came back to his mind. At one point, he felt that he might also turn into something similar, but in the end, he was able to stay sane.
"But why were you looking for him? Oh gosh, you aren’t going to answer it either, are you?" Anna sighed and then she decided to just stay silent and watch.
Jayden stepped towards the cell, and seeing him, Caleb’s struggles got even more violent, as if he wanted to devour him.
Extending his hand, Jayden placed it on the metallic door of the cell. A strange kind of energy instantly began to attack him, pushing him away, but ignoring it, Jayden just pulled the entire door and then threw it away.
He walked inside and stood right in front of Caleb, who was waving his hands violently. The sound of chains clinking and ringing in the silent prison.
