Chapter 43: Failure??
43 Failure??
An intense pain ravaged throughout all of Abby's body. Her skin burned off being replaced with a new layer while every bone in her body broke and regenerated over and over again while at the same time, black blood oozed out of all her orifices in litres.
Moby was not wrong, it was definitely the most intense, excruciating, physical pain she had ever experienced.
However, she persevered with all her might to not resist the unknown energy ravaging throughout her body. She is more than willing to endure the pain for the sake of her revenge.
Although the physical pain she is currently feeling is much more intense than all the torture that her sister made her go through, it still pales in comparison to all the mental pain she had to endure in the past.
The misery of being ignored, tortured and hated by her entire family with no one to turn to, all for a reason outside of her control, was too painful for her to bear.
When she thought about the revenge on her family, it made it much easier for her to endure the pain, telling herself,
'It will all be worth it, for the sake of my revenge! Even if it only had a 0.000,000,0001% chance of working.'
Moby and Jayden were both looking at Abby in awe, but for completely different reasons.
'I had to go through all that pain for my transformation as well? I guess I'm lucky that I was knocked out when Moby turned me into a demon,' Jayden thought, feeling slightly relieved.
As for Moby, he was surprised to see her endure the torture so well.
Moby's plans for Abby had changed several times throughout the day.
At first, his plan was to be "friends" with Abby in order to keep a close eye on her just in case she remembers what happened to her during their match and to manipulate her and use her as a pawn for future plans.
Then, his plan changed again upon reaching level 20.
Upon reaching level 20, he gained the ability to add one more member into his demon household which made him come up with a new plan.
His second plan was to turn Abby into a demon and exploit the 1 week time where she has a 0% chance of betraying him before making her write a suicide note and killing herself on the last day of the week.
However, when Moby learned about Abby's traumatic past and thirst for power and revenge, his plans completely changed once again.
Instead of using her as a disposable pawn for 1 week before making her commit suicide, he can instead make her into one of his permanent servants.
Having another permanent servant gives him the huge advantage of gaining yet another source of XP due to the 50% XP sharing from the household bonus.
Moby will share a 50% portion of extra XP to both his servants giving his household a 200% total XP boost, a 50% bonus to each servant every time he gains any XP from defeating or killing an enemy. However, the true advantage is that Moby will have 2 extra sources of XP while his servants will only have 1 extra source of XP, being, of course, himself.
Servants can't share XP with each other and can only share them with their master, meaning that Moby will gain more total XP than his servants allowing him to grow at a faster pace than both of them.
At first, Moby assumed that Abby was a completely righteous person with a determination to get stronger. He thought she would be repulsed after knowing what Moby and Jayden did and vow to oppose them no matter what.
He also assumed that she would be disgusted to be turned into a demon and would never accept gaining power by such means.
But now, Moby understands that he was completely wrong. From what Moby has seen, Abby does not care about how she gains power. She is not at all opposed to the thought of revenge and torturing those who you have been wronged by. She also seems to have a sense of loyalty and dept towards those who have helped her which is perfect for Moby.
Moby has no idea if her story is completely true or if she was just spouting some non-sense in order to guilt him to help her out. And, he did not know if she was actually going to compensate him for his troubles or if she was just saying that to entice him to help her before just leaving without compensating him at all because she knows that he is too weak to oppose her.
Luckily, all his questions can be answered truthfully with just a simple command of telling her to tell him if all that she had told him was the truth.
If all that she said was true, it would then lead into Moby's best and final plan, to have her as a permanent servant.
By telling her that he has complete control over her, having the power to take away her new strength whenever he wanted and that he will help her get revenge on her family, she will be forced into becoming his permanent servant with a near 0 chance of being betrayed. Her thirst for revenge would not allow her to.
Moby also wanted to test out her resolve to see if her will and determination is as strong as she claims.
Turning someone into a demon while they are still conscious is a very risky move. If the person tries to resist the transformation, then, the transformation will fail, crippling them in the process. Also, if a transformation fails once, then that person will never be able to undergo the demon transformation process ever again. This is why it is always good to turn someone into a demon while they are unconscious or in a really deep sleep.
Moby could have easily told her she needed to drink some paralysis or sleeping pills before undergoing the transformation so she doesn't feel any pain at all to guarantee success. However, he opted to not do it that way.
If her will is too weak and she gets crippled, all that it means is that her will and determination we're not strong enough to endure the pain deeming her unfit to be his servant. And, when she is crippled, it would make for a guaranteed win against her in a fight and they would be able to quickly take her out, ensuring that she never reveals or remembers their secrets, killing 2 birds with one stone.
However, if she can endure the transformation, it means that she has an unbreakable will stronger than steel and if he can gain her loyalty and support, she would never betray him and would be a great asset.
Moby was looking at the screaming Abby waiting to see how it will turn out, waiting for her screams to end or for a system notification to show up.
After 2 minutes of torture, Abby's screams ended and he was yet to receive a notification. Abby was now on the ground unconscious curled up in a ball.
'Failure huh… how disappointing, I was really looking forward to having an extra XP source…' Moby thought in disappointment as he approached the still unconscious Abby with a rope in hand with hopes of tying her up.
He can't just kill her in Jayden's house without her watch notifying the school about her death.
Moby really wanted to have another servant as soon as he received the system notification telling him that he can get one.
He wanted someone really strong, influential, cruel, and loyal at the same time.
He had thought that it was too good to be true when someone that fit his exact description and may even have a chance of remembering his secret in the future, just showed up on a silver platter for him to turn into his new servant.
He felt like for once in his life, lady luck was giving him a break from all the troubles that she has been constantly shoving down his throat. But, alas, Moby once again realized that nothing comes easy in life and if something was too easy to obtain, then it is most likely too good to be true.
'I must have jinxed myself at some point. I should have realized something this promising was too good to be true,' Moby thought, with a depressed chuckle.
As soon as Moby reached Abby and was about to tie her up, a few blue text boxes appeared in Moby's peripheral vision, greatly brightening up his mood.
[ System Alert! ]
[ You Have Created a New Demon! ]
[ You Have Created a Demon Necromancer! ]
[ A New Demon Has Joined Your Household (House of The Blissful Demon) ]
'Or, maybe it wasn't too good to be true!' Moby thought with a big smile.
