Chapter 135 : The long battle for survival ( part 15 )

" Activate! "

All of a sudden the corpse started moving it's fingers, before shortly injecting her black nails into the back of raid, with the command "Activate! "

Her nails was pulsating, and thick viscous fluid was invading Raid's back, making his skin darker, around the region of invasion.

The fluid in black had almost paralysed raid, stiffening him thoroughly, with arms that almost positioned at 90 degrees respective to body.

At the same time, a colourless fluid was secreted around her muscles, with fumes of vapours released upon his skin contact as if it was a potent acid to begin with.

This fluid was quite potent in its action, as it was melting his exteriors easily, with resulted pain that reached the threshold of his peak.

Ah!~~~~~~

The black liquid had invaded his organs by now and started decaying him from the inside.

His vessels were so weakened that they snapped from place to place, causing internal haemorrhage and body leaving it beyond repair.

The skin which contacted her body had melted down thoroughly with whitish fluid that flowed around her sides, finally dripping down her back, as if it was a melted wax to begin with.

Put!

The stiffened hands of him shook a bit, falling down abruptly, as if it could no longer burden the weight being imposed.

The black fluid that invaded him had weakened his bones leading to its fracture, with sharp ends that pierced out his hand after the fall.

Shortky followed by skin, the underlying muscles started to get invaded.

Under the influence of fluid the muscle strands intertwined as if they were born to be fused.

Cough! Cough!

" Dala! It was my fault!

I really shouldn't had wronged you at that moment!

Forgive me! I will turn to a new leaf! At least for our old loves sake, don't kill your Raid! "

In extreme haste raid spelled these words, rolling around in ground with corpse tigthly attached to him as one.

Right now the pain he's experiencing was intense, even death was hundreds of times better than this torture.

At one point he thought of committing suicide, but for some unknown reason his will told him to resist her, and escape out the place as quickly as possible.

He only had one life and he didn't want to have a tragic end, so he resisted!

...

One minute later.

Under a weakened body, his resistance had been for naught and instead of getting rid of her, he found himself to be halfway fused with its body, and reached a point of no return!

Whoosh!

As if the whole of his body losen its control, raid found him to be sitting cross legged, with the corpse that remained undemarkatable from him.

" Daa... laa...! "

The original charming voice of him had turned hoarse, with face that became as uglier as pig.

" Raid! Can you remember the last words you had with Dala, before planing for that steel plant! "

" Faa... tal... "

He was surprised to see the figure of Fatale standing before him.

Raid was confused weather the one he ****** was Fatale or not?

Earlier he thought the possibility of Dala being Fatale, and she was taking vengeance for their past incident.

Now that he saw the figure of Fatale before his very eyes, it proved his original conjecture to be incorrect.

But what shocked him the most was the words that came out her mouth.

" How did she knew the steel plant incident? And what's her link with Dala? "

While disposing the body of Dala, he Raid had made sure to leave no witnesses behind.

Other than his accomplice in murder, who were later murdered in his hands, no other living soul could suspect them of murder.

And on top of it, Dala belongs to the league of black, a group of assasins working for the imperial family!

The organization which keeps the records of their associates classified, even after their death.

Even if she were to witness his crime, why was bothering with him? It's not like she was too clean to begin with!

He mean to ask like, what's she's to you? And even if I kill innocent, it's not like you are much different than me!

Grab!

She grabbed his neck, lifting him up in the air only to repeat her question stating.

" Can you remember the last words you had with Dala, before planing for that steel plant! "

She paused for a brief moment of five seconds before answering,

" Let's get married!

I'll convince lord father to agree our marriage!

My dear you are pregnant, carrying his grand children inside! Do you think that old thing will object? "

Fatale cried out heavily while muttering these lines out her mouth.

After hearing these words, raid was startled, he couldn't utter a word and was starting at Fatale in disbelief as if he was looking at a ghost to begin with, which read his internals memories.

After mustering enough courage, Raid questioned " Ha... oow? "

" Go ask her in hell? " She roared out in anger.

Fatale placed her palm on his head, grabbing his hair tightly before reciting mantras that started sending chills to his spine.

If it was for an other person in his place, he would reason fatale to be a crazy woman that's babbling shit out her mouth.

But raid was a person who knew her well, and also the shit she's reciting currently.

She was trying to make a living undead out of him!

The process was irreversible upon activation, and could not be resisted without an ample amount of spirit energy to negate it.

Without proper resistance, the fate of victim was likely known to him.

Right now the state of his was similar to the former case.

The body of corpse which was still struck to him, half fused. And had drained his spirit power empty!

Without resistance he would ultimately be turned to a undead, listening to every single command of her, as if it came from his generations of ancestors to begin with.

Whoosh!

All of a sudden a blood red array intermixed with black popped below him.

It started forming a red colored matrix which was tapering to the top, similar to the colony of ants that build their nest around trees

" Stop? Any thing but that!

I will say all things you need!

I don't want to... "

Though he wanted to spell his words louder, the body of him had long since given up.

And with the invasion of this spell, he couldn't utter his lips, and remained still like a sick man waiting for his death.

Finally, when the matrix reached her palm, Fatale opened her eyes, bellowing " Desend! "

" No!~~~~~~~ "

Whoosh!

Similar to the array present below, a large array few tens of meters above his head popped up, from which a pillar of darkness radiated out that engulfed both Fatale and Raid as a whole.

" Ah!~~~~~~~~~~~~ "

Every single cell of his body started paining, with his throat that died out shouting loud.

The red matrix melted down and entered raids body. The darkness had started devouring life from its surroundings, drying out the vitality in their existence.

The plants started to wither, the animals started to vaporize, the air became heavy and the earth below cracked into a spider web pattern, with heat that produced from the light had melted the surrounding to molten hot.

The array radiated the darkness for a minute before dying out, disappearing out the face of sky as if it wasn't present before to begin with.

The steams of vapours covered the place, and a shadowy silhouette in smoke placing her palm over a person's head could be spotted.

Whoosh!

Extruding her spirit energy, Fatale started condensing a red stigma over his head.

One minute later.

Dust had settled by now and the stigma of her had finally taken its shape.

Taking her palms out his forehead, she bellowed.

" Arise! "

As if he was her loyal dog to begin with, raid stood up without a further notice, with a huge ugly build that resulted after incomplete fusing of the corpse to his body!

Right now fatale was standing clothless, as a result of heat generated earlier and a strange set of tattoos in black were revealed over her seductive body.

Snap!

She then spelled few strange mantras, which caused raid to snap into reality.

" Fuck! It Hurts!

God, It's painful! "

Raid roared out with a face that no longer was recognizable.

" Haha! How's your newly formed body? pretty comfortable right! "

Fatale laughed out while making an evil and hideous face.

" Curse you... it hurts! Kill me... not tolerable! Just mutter these words the rest of your life, face the reality idiot, you are no longer a person of red wolf tribe! "

Her words were like swords piercing into his heart.

His pride of having red wolf bloodline was taken out, and he raid was reduced a simple undead with lingering conscious to curse on her.

" Vicious bitch! Let me inform Gazil we'll both skin you alive! You are a damn fucking traitor of our group? "

Raid roared out angrily, threatening to skin her alive.

The abandoned group of red wolf race were less in number, and she Fatale had wasted a top existence in them !

Raid almost had chocked himself in anger.

" Haha! A funny joke indeed!

Do you think I am scared dear? As if I'll let you meet him! "

She laughed out before spelling her words boldly.

She then snapped her fingers only to pop an empty coffin out the ground, which was pitch black in colour, with a dark glass plate near the head part.

" Four legs, four arms... hahaha! Truly a bastard like you deserves this punishment! "

She laughed out evilly, before ordering his body to enter the coffin.

Creak!

" No! "

The red stigma on his forehead glowed brightly and his body started moving towards the coffin, uncontrollably.

As if his body was not listening to his command, it dashed straight towards the black coffin, before closing the door in haste, as ordered by Fatale.

" No! Let me out? It's feels strange inside! As if this coffin is eating my existence away! "

Raid bellowed loudly with a frightened face, which started irritating Fatale, as her mantras were going wrong with his intervening.

" Shut your damn mouth for this master? " She bellowed out loud in anger.

Whoosh!

She took a strange container out her storage ring, jumped straight before the coffin, glaring evilly at frightened face of raid before muttering.

" Be prepared! "

" Be prepared? Be prepared your sister! You have taken every thing out my life, what more do I need to prepare? "

Raid cursed her internally, without the freedom of speech.

" Fuck! Aren't those.... holy swords? " Raid became horrified looking at the swords that revealed out the container.

" No, wait, these are not the surprise I made for you!

It's... them! "

She snapped her hands a little and six coffins similar to him had popped out the ground.

Creak!~~ Creak!~~ Creak!~~ Creak!~~

One after the other the doors started to open and the undead present inside had started jumping down.

" Aren't those ones the weakest of her special ones? "

Raid could identify these undead as the first glance.

Six undead and each were masked with blood red bandages to begin with, and the weakest of her special undead which had once supported him in a particular mission.

" Take them and pierce his body! " She ordered.

Pierce!

A lean one out of the six came first and pierced a holy sword into the coffin, and forced the sword in until it came out from the other side, with raid being caught in the middle.

" Ah!~~~ No i can't let this psychotic bitch enjoy my screams! "

Raid gritted his teeth, bearing the pain, which was many times amplified by the holy properties.

" Haha! Trying to act bold? This master knows to discipline her toys well! "

Fatale laughed out viciously, before ordering her next undead to pierce him.

Pierce! Pierce! Pierce! Pierce!

Pierce! Pierce! Pierce! Pierce!

One after the other the undead made rounds and pierced the third, fourth, fifth and all the way till the twenty eight one.

Pick!

Fatale took the last one and pierced it straight into his head, bellowing.

" Bastard! Can you guess why this master stopped at 29? "

She asked out loudly, widening her eyes like a fierce beast that jumped out the wilderness.

" 29? Fuck that was supposed to be day when I confirmed her pregnancy! "

Raid muttered out in fright unable to figure out how this crazy women knows the hidden secrets of his life!

" Wait! She's acting strange today? I am a fifth stage spirit saint, not an ordinary things you see in every day life!

In decades of fighting next to her, I could almost determine the way she handles things.

Her unique undead, which could retain conscious were never mutilated as me!

It's as if she's carrying out her revenge! it's as if she's trying to hint me to some thing? But what could that be? "

Raid was getting confused.

Since he became her undead, he was no different from a play thing she could dispose, but considering her character would she dare to?

Not only could he become a powerful subordinate for her, he could also help her carrying various tasks where the living could not set their foot into!

Not just that but, according to his knowledge Fatale had no more than three fifth stage saint undead, with the addition of him her influence could be raised to an another level!

Then why bother mutilating him?

Right now, there wasn't a thing which raid could hide from her, with such privilege, why was Fatale trying to pry on his personal life, which wasn't much profitable to her, considering her character.

The more he started thinking the more complex she became to him.

" Wait! Don't tell me that she didn't had an ambition of having me into her army since the very beginning?

Then what is her goal? Don't say that she's somehow related to dala?

But my lover was a born orphan, this excludes the possibility of filial revenge!

Che! Women are easy pesy but, i can't understand this woman to begin with! "

He was wacking his brain unable to figure out her goals.

" Yes, you are correct. I didn't had an ambition to add you into my undead army!

You might be confused but try looking at their faces, the answer would pop before your very eyes! "

Snap!

With a single snap she brought back the conscious of these undeads to reality, like the case she done to raid earlier.

" Fatale! You had made us wait for decad... wait isn't this our Raid? "

A bulky undead which was extruding the aura of first stage spirit saint had widened its eyes in surprise, looking at the ugly self of raid, who had a body worse than their own.

" Haha! It's truly that traitor! "

" Kill him! let's give him his retribution! "

" Wait, he can't be killed, cause he's a under to begin with he! he! "

" Haha! He deserves it! "

...

.....

One after the other, the undead started cursing him, the backstabber, who ended their lives fearing the imperial family's investigation.

" Wait, why do their voices ring familiar! " Raid exclaimed internally.

" Remove your bandages! " She ordered.

Unwind!

" Fuck, these bastards... did they spelled the truth to her!

No wonder, she knows the reality! Fatale... she might be a spy from imperial family, if not for that why would she go this far for avenging Dala? "

Raid regretted his decision for burying his accomplices bodies, instead of incarcerating it.

Had he burned their bodies, Fatale wouldn't had turned them to undead, and the case of dala would had been kept in dark to begin with.

" Wait since she didn't want me in her army, she could had simply overwhelmed me with numbers and killed me when I was drained earlier.

Why bother creating this damn drama? And why bother turning me into her special pet?

Wait! There is some thing more to it... This vicious bitch... she's not simple, no I don't accept this!

I don't want to suffer that, I know my wrong doings!

Just kill me already! If what I'm thinking is correct she trying to... "

Every thing seemed vague and unnecessary, but all of a sudden a thought rang his brains which shivered him shitless, making his soul jolt in a mere thought of it.

Even him being dead was better than that alternative.

From his recent experience he could determine that Fatale could read the thoughts of her undead.

If his conjecture was correct, it would be deadly if she seriously were to take up that alternative he feared.

" Haha! Since you know my reason for doing this, I think it's time to hand over your final punishment! "

Fatale laughed out, walking close to him only to smile at the moment which was killing to him.

" No! No! No! I don't accept this! "

Fatale! I'll be your dog! Your pet or even your toy, any thing but that, I beg! "

Raid had lowered himself to the lowest, without the pridefulness he had before, to try attemting to change her decision.

Fatale had taken his restriction of movement and his restriction of speech, yet with the sheer number of holy swords that pierced his body he was nearly immobilized to his position.

As if a marvelous sight was presented before her, Fatale made a euphoric face. As if the sufferings made by raid were pleasing to her eyes, she was glaring at him with interest.

Though he shook vigorously, to escape out the coffin, it remained for naught as Fatale had given her final command and that was " Desend! "

" No!~~~~~~~~~~~ "

This may probably be the last word she'd hear out his mouth, as Fatale had decided to bury him underground, without a shred of light to accompany.

She could had killed him in the most cruel and brutal way possible, but that wouldn't satisfy her soul.

But the mere thought of raid suffering for thousands of years had made her euphoric.

So was her plan of turning him to undead, only to be buried at the deepest of the earth.

Since Raid was an undead to begin with, he wouldn't had the needs of living, and who knows might probably be sane for next hundreds or thousands of years, agonizing the name of Fatale cursing her till the end.

" Dala! I have half way avenged you dear!

Two more bastards to go! "

Authors notes:

The revenge of Fatale had reached half way.

The part of her encounter with mark awaits next.
