Punishment

The witch dashed towards Wo Mu. He too walked towards her with a fist.

"Stop! Don't do it! You are very close to death! Your body will not be able to handle any more stress!", Mikata said. She grabbed one of his hands.

Wo Mu let go of his hand and said -

"I am better off dead. But since I am alive right now, I can't give up! I have to fucking destroy that witch!"

The witch came closer to him. He pulled back his fist to punch the witch. And so did the witch with her one remaining arm.

The man was observing all from the top of the roof. He raised his right hand and pointed it in the witch's direction.

"Punish her.", he said.

Just before the witch and Wo Mu were about to hit each other, a portal opened on the top of the witch.

From inside the portal drops of lava fell down. And then came a big heated industrial chain. It grabbed the witch by her neck.

The witch was forcefully stopped. Her neck was slowly burning as the chains were slowly penetrating throughout. She was not able to move as the grip was too strong.

Wo Mu and Mikata just stood where they were, watching what was happening with a confused expression on their face.

Under the witch opened another portal. The witch's eye twitched in horror as she looked down and saw hundreds of hands coming towards her. They grabbed her by nearly every joint of her body.

*CRACKK!!*

*KTAKKK!!!*

She tried to scream in pain as the hands one by one broke every bone in her body.

After nearly every bone of her body was broken, the hands started twisting and pulling apart the body of the witch.

*PLEWGH!!*

*BLEEERGGGHH!!!*

The witch's body was tore down into several pieces. Rivers of blood flowed down as guts and organs started falling apart into the portals. The body parts of the witch were taken to the other dimension too by mysterious hands. The witch met a violent end.

Wo Mu just stood there. He didn't understood what happened. His mind was blank. The blood of the witch slowly crept up to his shoes. He looked down at the blood.

Wo Mu fell down to the ground due to exhaustion. His vision started blurring. After a while, he passed out.

"Uhh..."

Wo Mu slowly opened his eyes. Although things were not clearly seen.

He felt a breath on his face.

It was a girl. She was close up on his face. She was on her fours and her lips were very close to that of Wo Mu.

He backed up in sudden shock.

"Why are you so surprised?", the girl asked.

"What reaction do you expect from a man if he passes out and the first thing he sees after waking up is a girl right at his face?!"

She sat upright.

"Well, you are right. That was my bad."

She got up and started walking out of the room.

"Wait, who are you and where am I?"

"You will get your answers soon."

She opened the door and went out.

The room was a traditional Chinese room.

Wo Mu looked at himself. He was covered in bandages. There were stitches on his body. Although it did not hurt at all.

He looked around a little more.

He was lying on a bed. The curtains of the room were closed. The room was chill and comfortable.

He slowly got up. His body was feeling good now.

"Oh yeah, my bag."

He looked around and found his bag kept on an altar. He reached it and picked it up. Then he went back to the bed and sat on it.

"I levelled up pretty decently when the witch died. I would have unlocked at least some new items."

He put his hand into the bag and found a motor.

"A motor? That's what I was looking for! Now I can craft a Chain Sword with it!"

He looked further and found some meat. He took out the meat and started eating it.

While chewing, he also found that he has unlocked some more irons and have also been rewarded a shoulder guard.

"*Chewing* Mm! Shoda gord. Noic."

After finishing the meat, he put the items back into the bag. He stretched a little, which caused two stitches to open up.

"Ow ow ow.... Should have not done that..."

After a while, he walked out of the room.

Outside was a hallway. There were many rooms on both the sides of the hallway. He noticed that his name was written on the door of the room where he was resting.

"So the person to whom the room belongs has his or her name written on the door."

He decided to walk through the hallway while also reading the names on the door.

On the very next door, Mikata's name was written.

"Her room is just besides mine?"

He opened the door. Mikasa was not there.

"Phoo, I expected to barge into her room while she was changing. Oh how I wish."

He closed the door and went on the stroll, reading names. He reached a dead end. There was a window with a flower pot kept on it. Then he started looking out of the window at the garden.

"I don't even know why I am here and I am already starting to act as if this is my home..."

"Excuse me, sir.", he heard a voice from behind him.

It was a monk.

"Ummm...?" Wou pointed towards himself.

"I believe there is no one else in this hall except you and me."

"Oh yeah... Yeah... So, uhh?"

"Are you, by any chance, Mister Wo Mu?"

Wo Mu nodded. "Mm hmm. It's me."

The monk smiled.

"Will you please follow me."

He started walking back. Wo Mu followed him.

"Uhh, sir, I don't know where I am right now... I would appreciate it if you inform me a little."

"You will be informed about everything once you meet him."

"Him?"

"The person who is responsible for bringing you here."

Wo Mu said nothing and decided to blindly follow.
