Chapter twenty one: Message in red

"Your turn." Juliet said to Benji with a sigh. "Do your best." "Bring me a hammer, nails, leather gloves, a full and lit brassier, metal spikes, sandpaper, salt, pepper and alcohol." Benji said to one of the girls outside the 'interrogation' room. "A barrel filled with water too, and a chicken sandwich." "What you will do with those?" Juliet asked to Benji.

"Use everything other than the sandwich on him what else?" Benji replied. "And the sandwich?" Juliet asked confused. "I am hungry." Benji answered. "You can't torture someone with an empty stomach." "I am surprised that you have stomach to eat after what we did to him." Juliet commented while one of her subordinates leaves the room.

"You know I wasn't always like this, but I am pretty much insensible by now." Benji said with a shrug. "And isn't like you gave him a horrible torture, beating them just takes you this far."

"And how using those things that you asked will do better than this?" Juliet asked sitting on a chair. "Have you ever rubbed a cut with alcohol?" Benji asked back. "Yeah, to clean, it burns and stings, hurt quite badly." Juliet answered. "Now imagine using sandpaper in sensitive body parts and then applying a mix of alcohol, salt and pepper on it." Benji said with a smile. "So Frankie boy you want to try that out in the lower head?"

Benji noticed how badly Frank paled at the idea but he remained in silence. "Well I always wanted to see how much pain a man can take when punished on that area." Juliet commented. "Go right ahead and don't mind me, I will be taking notes." Three girls arrive carrying everything that Benji asked for.

Cracking his knuckles before putting on the gloves Benji looks at the items now placed over a large and sturdy wood table. "So many choices, well let's start with something simple, hammer and nails." Benji said putting on the gloves. "Hey Juli you mind if I nail him to the wall?"

"I don't." Juliet answered. "But stop calling me like that." Benji chuckled taking the hammer and ten nails that he holds between his teeth. Benji touches the tip of one of the nails on Frank's right hand thumb. "Well Frank as you noticed you are gagged since the girls finished with you, and I am not taking it out for a while." Benji said casually. "Let me explain how this will be, I will be driving these four inches long nails on your fingers, right on the bone, I will do that to all the fingers, when I am done with those I will remove the gag and see how willing to talk you are, if you aren't willing I will keep nailing you until I run out of nails or grow bored of hammering you, whatever happens first."

Juliet noticed how Frank was trying to break free of his chains. 'Well it is amazing but that speech hit him pretty badly.' Juliet mused while Benji starts the task of driving nails on Frank's fingers.

Helen sighed annoyed and sits on a table in a restaurant, not knowing that is Benji's favorite restaurant. Ordering some sake and sashimi he decides to rest and call it a night, she can't locate Benji, and even Benji being a very popular and famous figure in Amatsu no one knows where he is.

"I don't believe on this." Helen overheard a discussion from a close table. "Sixty well trained, armed and high level adventurers being killed that easily." Helen discreetly peeks at the table, the conversation picked her interest. "It was a miracle that in our group we didn't lose anyone, the safety worked, just god knows how bad it would be for them if they lost their arms and legs." 'That is odd; I don't remember any monster that cuts limbs.' Helen thought seeing the female assassin cross drunkenly complaining.

"I am a level 255 assassin cross, I am experienced and seasoned! Why I couldn't hit him or flee from his attacks!" Sonia, not that Helen knew who she was whined. "And why he could see where I was? My cloaking skills are perfect! I can steal the underwear of a knight without he even noticing!"

"Sonia we are speaking about the knight killer." A star gladiator said to the assassin cross. "The one who fought in even grounds against the golden knight, a lord knight with the level three times higher than his. That guy is inhuman. A monster in human shape."

'Okay they are speaking about Benji, and that is clear as day, no one else has the nickname knight killer and fought with Dante.' Helen pays even more attention at the conversation. "I don't care what he did! I can't accept that someone in a lower level than me can defeat me like that!" Sonia continued, she kept her cool on the field but now she was expressing her true feelings. "There has to be a secret something that we don't know, no one can do that kind of damage without something boosting him like crazy! And Frank! That idiot should suffer for his stupidity! I wouldn't have crossed paths with the knight killer if wasn't for the contract!"

"But Frank warped away with the remnants of his troops and the blue dragon." The star gladiator said trying to calm his leader. "By now the blue dragon must be captured or killed." "I seriously doubt it." Sonia spat bitterly. "That kind of evil doesn't die, you saw what he did on us, he can't be stopped!"

Helen snickered and eats her dinner, Benji got involved on something and had already dealt with part of it, now she would wait for the assassin cross to get drunker and then politely asked for information while using her cross and few more things.

Benji drinks some cold water during a break of his 'polite questioning'. "You know I never knew that you could use leather bag like that." Juliet commented casually. "I used a replacement for a different bag, it wasn't all that effective but still worked." Benji replied; it would be better if he had a plastic bag to cover Frank's head but when you don't have it you use something else.

"So Frank ready to talk or should I use the sandpaper?" Benji asked casually. "This is a quite harsh one, it will hurt a lot, and as a man I know that you don't want to feel these sharp and unpleasant crystals scratching your sensitive lower head." Frank's eyes go wide as Benji holds a small cut of sandpaper, a two by two centimeters square of sandpaper.

"Gag him up Juli." Benji said to the knight. "He is a brave, he won't spill now, it is time to 'convince' him again." "Stop calling me Juli." Juliet said while moving to Frank. "Stop!" Frank screamed. "Just stop! Don't let that monster get close of me! I tell you anything! Everything! But don't let him get near me! Take that paper away from him!"

"The paper stays." Benji replied. "I will take it away when you start telling us everything." "What he said." Juliet added. "Unless you tell everything that you know and I am convinced that is true and is everything I will let him use that paper on you."

Benji and Juliet hears what Frank knows about Lacey, the paladin doesn't stop talking and takes one hour to him finish everything. "You know more details than that is impossible to get." Juliet commented. "I agree, now that we know everything, including the guards' rotation we can counter." Benji added. "So you do it or I do?" "You mind if I do?" Juliet asked. "I have a bit of a grudge." "Go ahead." Benji replied.

"What? But I told you everything! We had a deal!" Frank exclaimed seeing the knight walking towards him with a knife. "The deal was that he wouldn't use the paper on you." Juliet replied. "Not that we would let you live."

Helen sighed slightly annoyed, she had finished asking to Sonia what she knew; a bothersome task but with the aid of alcohol was made easier. She learned Benji were warped to some distant location, but Sonia didn't know where it was. Helen doesn't know if she tells what she learned to Atsuko or not, if she tells that Benji was missing then hell will break loose, the entire guild will march ready to war and they will kill everything between them and Benji.

"This one will do it?" Juliet asked handing to Benji a blue gem. "It will." Benji answered. "I will go get my equipment, you get a small party ready, just the best ones from your group; we gather here in one hour and then move on."

"Okay." Juliet replied. "I was almost forgetting." Benji said handing the borrowed sword to the knight. "Thanks for lending me it even thought I didn't use it much." "You can keep it, I have ten more like that." Juliet replied with a smile. "Besides you might need it later tonight."

Benji arrived in front of the Silver Moon castle, he had a long night and it had barely started. "Sakura open up." Benji said walking straight to the shut gates, the gates open silently giving enough space for him to pass by the doors. "If I knew that was that easy hours ago." Helen commented looking at Benji from the outside of the castle walls.

Benji sighed and turn around to face the high priestess. "Is there any reason for this sudden visit?" Benji asked trying to be polite, but it slightly harsh because his current state. "Atsuko asked me to check on you." Helen answered. "She had a bad feeling, and from what I can see she wasn't wrong at all."

"In a regular day I would ask you to come in and offer you something to drink." Benji said. "But as you can see I am a walking pincushion and I have pressing business, mind in coming back another day?" Helen chuckled. "You know normal people would ask for a healing at this point." She said amused. "You are sure about that question."

"Quite sure." Benji answered. "And tell to Atsuko that I am fine, I just had a run in with a small MVP or something. Now excuse me I have two pets to feed." Helen remained there while Benji entered in the castle, she wouldn't barge in, but she wouldn't leave either.

"I am back." Benji said when entering on the castle itself. "Welcome back." Ruri replied running towards him, Tsugumi is floating behind her without much of a hurry. "I brought you two some dinner." Benji said pulling the two boxes from his inventory. "Share it."

"What happened?" Tsugumi asked when seeing the details of Benji's state. "The line of the restaurant was a killer." Benji replied. "Anyway I have to go out again for a while; I should be back sometime between morning or noon."

After pulling the last arrow from his back and putting on his equipment Benji leaves the castle and finds Helen sited next to the gate. "So it isn't over yet, right?" Helen asked standing up. "You only came to resupply." "I don't like leaving unfinished business." Benji answered. "And this has nothing to do with you."

"True." Helen replied. "But you are Atsuko's business and that make my business, I won't let you just walk out of here and march to certain death without doing anything about it." "I am not going to die." Benji said. "Just let the girls rest, they deserve a break."

"And you don't?" Helen asked. "Don't you think that is too convenient that few days before your second WoE you are attacked?" "I already thought about that and I don't care." Benji answered. "I plan on writing down a really nice message, and for that I need lots and lots red ink, and I can't forget some white too, you will see tomorrow."

"You actually think that I will let you walk away like that?" Helen asked brandishing her cross. "And you really think that you can stop me?" Benji asked casually, he adjusts his sunglasses with his middle finger. "Teleport."

"What!" Helen exclaimed surprised as he vanishes, she casts Runwatch and confirms that Benji had truly teleported away, and the castle was locked shut once again, with a sigh the priestess wonders in what to do and say to Atsuko.

"You are a bit early." Juliet said when meeting Benji after getting the word that he had reappeared on the middle of the courtyard. "I just left things pre-packed so it was way faster than it is for you." Benji replied. "How much longer you need before we can leave?"

"Twenty minutes." Juliet answered. "We need way more armor than you, so we need more time to get ready." "I will be waiting." Benji said sitting against a wall. "Let me know when you gals are ready." Juliet nodded and moves back to the barracks.

"So you think that you can get past the gates?" Juliet asked to Benji as they look at the heavily guarded gate of Lacey's manor. "Sure." Benji replied walking straight to the gate. "He isn't going to cloak or something!" Linda, a lord knight with dark green hair exclaimed while Benji continue to move towards they guards without hesitation. "I won't try figuring him out." Juliet replied.

"Hey you." Benji called the two guards outside a stone guard house. "What?" The two armored guards armed with spears asked moving towards Benji. "What you want?" "To you to die." Benji replied producing two pistols from his sleeves and firing several times on the two men faces.

Benji runs to the guard house and the group can't see what is happening, but they can hear a mixture of gunshots and screams from the inside. "You know Juliet I am really, really happy that he isn't our enemy." Rosette a lord knight with orange hair said to the red haired lord knight. "And he is in our side."

"You aren't the only one." Juliet replied with a nod. "I am done." Benji called while leaving the house casually dusting his hands. "I also found the key, two maps and a bottle of wine." "We aren't thirsty right now." Juliet replied moving to him. "Girls by the love of God do not make anything to get us in his bad side. I am begging you." Juliet said turning to her comrades, they nod vigorously at her command.

"Dear god!" One of the lord knights exclaimed in horror when peeking inside the house, she turns to the other side and throws up. "I am really curious but at the same time I don't know if I want to look." Juliet said while aiding her comrade. "What did you do in there?"

Benji grinned while unlocking the gate. "Did you ever gutted game before?" Benji asked casually. "Well I just hanged them in their own intestines. You know we are trying to leave a message here." "Juliet we should move." Jessica said to the leader. "Those screams must have been heard by the guards inside."

"You girls go that way." Benji said while pointing to the east wing of the manor. "I will take the north wing. We meet somewhere in the between." "Okay." Juliet replied. "Don't make much of a mess." "And where is the fun in that?" Benji asked moving to the north wing.

'And I thought that I was evil.' A not so unfamiliar voice spoke on Benji's mind. 'Shut the fuck up.' Benji replied while busy turning one men in twenty parts. 'Come on don't be so rude with me.' The voice replied. 'We are so close.'

'Shut up or I will eat a whole bucket of ice cream in one minute.' Benji shot back. 'Hey no need for the heavy artillery!' The voice exclaimed. 'Why can't a girl have some fun here?'

'As far as I know you are a male.' Benji said annoyed, every time that he was killing something the voice come to annoy him. 'Now shut up or I will send tentacle-sensei after you again.'

Benji could almost see the now female doppelganger paling at the threat. 'And as I said you are way more evil than I am.' She said in protest. 'Go on sensei.' Benji said, and then he could hear the screams from the doppelganger in his mind as it tries to flee from the tentacle demon. 'That will keep her quiet for a while.'

"Ahhh…the sweet sound of hentai." Benji sighed wistfully. "How I missed that, not that I am a fan of tentacle hentai but still." Benji hears a battle cry coming from behind and casually take a step to the side and points his closed fist at the direction of a charging knight.

The knight impacts hard against Benji's fist, pressing his palm with his closed fingers twice Benji releases two powerful, razor sharp and strong blades from the outer side of his wrist, the two blades easily dig their way through the knight's eyes, skull and brain, Benji pulls his hand slashing down and finishing the knight.

"Sneak attacks only work when you don't shout." Benji said casually while pulling back the claws, originally made by Ramirez but heavily altered by Benji and Makie, she would complain at everything that he asked her to build but she would do it every time since was a challenge.

Makie added four strong springs, one to each blade, Benji added more metal changing the shape and resilience of them, making them harder and stronger, in the end they was almost like the Predator's claws, the remaining two blades of each war glove are released in the direction of Benji's elbow, and when not used the blades are stored inside a metal case.

Benji sighed annoyed, he killed many guards but they kept coming holding on the hope of overwhelming him by sheer numbers. "So annoying." Benji muttered while killing more guards. "I wonder who I have to kill to finally get some peace in my life."

Juliet jumps startled with a shriek of terror coming from the east side of the north wing. "How he can move that fast all by himself?" She wondered while her companions open the door to the next hall, Benji advanced twice faster than they are, and from the screams he was being rather cruel and creative with his kills.

The knights leap out of the way as a group of high wizards, alchemists and high priests run out of the other room as if the devil himself was chasing them. Recovering from their surprise the knights quickly kill that group and move on the reverse path of the fleeing adventurers.

"Please tell me that, that isn't a skull…" Rosette said in a weak voice backing away from the scene, covering her mouth with her hands, dropping her sword. Juliet stare at the scene, Benji with his right hand claws released, soaked and dripping blood, held loosely on his left hand a still wet human skull with the spine still connected on it, crudely stripped from the flesh.

His eyes covered by his hair, casting shadows on his face, making his eyes almost glowing white, the shadow of a smile on his lips as he walks towards a paladin who is vainly trying to hold his insides inside his tore open stomach. With the calm and precision of a horror movie killer Benji covers the distance between himself and his suffering victim that begs for mercy.

"Don't look!" Juliet exclaimed, ordering to her knights look away as Benji raises his right arm, readying the killing strike, she knew deep down that what would follow would be something shocking, and she was right as Benji proceeds to tear the armor from the paladin, throwing the skull away Benji holds the head of the paladin, forcing him to turn his back to him.

Juliet watches fascinated as Benji buries the two blades on the man's neck and with one clean swipe Benji cuts thirteen pairs of ribs, one layer of chain mail and fabric, while the paladin is still alive and screaming. Then Benji tears the head from the body effectively killing the swordsman.

"So what took you so long?" Benji asked throwing the head at Juliet's feet. "I am guessing the fact that my side had more enemies than yours." Juliet answered unfazed by the display, Benji looks over his shoulder, back at the direction that he came. "Well I am not so sure of that, but isn't like I counted how many I killed." Benji replied.

"Then how many you killed like that?" Juliet asked. "Twenty six." Benji answered. "I got the idea after I killed lots of them." "Since we are here to send a message." Juliet said recalling his earlier words. "Well then we should find Lacey and see what he thinks about our message."

"That before or after your girls recover?" Benji asked pointing to the knights behind Juliet, all of them fainted. "After." Juliet answered. "I don't want to leave them defenseless; there might be strays in the area."

"The beach was nice but it is good to be back home." Layla said when entering on the Silver Moon castle. "Yes it is." Atsuko agreed as they move to the living area. "But isn't kind of quiet in here?" Haruka commented. "I mean other than the others chatting in the back."

"Well just with Benji and his pets here it is natural that is silent." Layla replied. "It is quieter than that." Haruka said. After few minutes Layla, Atsuko, Haruka and Erika find Tsugumi and Ruri in the dinning hall.

"Hey girls where is Benji?" Haruka asked to the two demon girls. "Gone." Tsugumi answered. "It has been three days since we last seen him, and he said that he would be back in the morning."

The four women tense at Tsugumi's words. "Hey there is a white haired high priestess by the gate." Leona said by the dinning room door. "And a red haired lord knight is walking this way too."

"Why I have this really bad feeling deep in the pit of my stomach?" Layla asked to the others. "We are with the same." Atsuko replied. "Let's move to the gate, Helen wants to tell us something, and I think that the knight is here for something too."

In five minutes the four of them are in the gate, at that time Juliet is standing in front of the gate too. After moments of uncomfortable silence Juliet is the one who breaks it. "I fought with Benji three days ago." She told to the others. "During the final battle he and a creator stepped inside an odd magic circle, since then I haven't heard from him. Before that battle he told me to come here today, at first it was to discuss few things between your guild and my order, after that fight I felt that it was the right thing let you know that he is gone."

End of the chapter twenty one:

Author explanation corner:

Torture: There are many ways of doing, countless objects to use, add that to a creative mind, being raised in a generation fed on action, war and horror movies, and you can get really inventive with ways of torturing people.

The sandpaper is so neglected, but when used well it can gives lots of pain, adding the special pain mix (salt, pepper, alcohol and more) it will hurt even more. And let's face it no one want a taste of large grain sandpaper in their bodies, especially on 'sensitive' bodily parts.

Helen: She is a nice woman, I really mean that, but she is part of Dante's guild for more than ten years so some of his nastiness rubbed on her too, well not really, she just have this really mean side of her.

Female doppelganger: Side effect number one. She/he/whatever bothers Benji with comments and trying to make him evil (regardless everything Benji still is a good guy, just not the average one), Benji in the other hand is annoyed by her and uses everything that he can to shut her up, ranging from ice cream to tentacle hentai (she is in his mind so his imaginary images can harm her).

Tentacle-sensei: From the anime Angel of Darkness, mad teacher/scientist who became a monster with tons of phallic tentacles, the natural enemy of females with skirts and without any type of hard armor. Benji's version of the guy is there to shut the doppelganger, and she still hasn't seen the true evil of Yaoi yet.

Wrist blades/claws and related killing: Now if you want to be truly evil with arm mounted weapons you have to do a 'predator' killing, the blades have enough distance between each other to fit the vertebral column between them to a simultaneous cut of the ribs in one swipe.

In game terms they have the delay of katars, but are used as daggers, but as made for the single purpose of being used against human and demi-humans targets the damage against medium sized enemies is 100 percent, unlike katars to have two of them you have to equip two as daggers, the two blades double the damage. More details in a later explanation since there is more about them to be show.

Well the chapter didn't come as I imagined, lately I am not on the mood for writing down killing sprees and detailing them. There would be much, much more fighting on it culminating on the fight where Benji disappears, but I can't put it down now, so I will be revisiting those scenes in flashbacks in the future chapters.

Sorry for the long delay, between not in the mood for killing and fighting scenes, I was also stuck in figuring a nice chapter name for this chapter.
