Chapter 15 Interrogation

Cliff felt like he was trapped in a nightmare.

In this dream, one second he was being dismembered by a monstrous creature bred by the Wizard, and the next second he found himself back in Morick Royal City, being declared a traitor by the Fire Lizard King.

Then the cycle repeated.

He couldn't distinguish what was real and what was illusion; his brain seemed veiled, reality and illusion now merged into one.

Yet, the pain didn't lessen.

Cliff could vividly recall the agony of being devoured by the monster; it felt like a red-hot iron was stirring inside his brain, nearly boiling his brains.

And the trial in Morick Royal City shattered his faith; everything he had fought for crumbled before his eyes, he was pointed at by thousands, his name etched on a pillar of shame to be despised for ten thousand years.

"Ah!"

Cliff suddenly woke from the nightmare.

He stared blankly around him, his sluggish brain finally reminding him of his current predicament.
