The Messenger of Death

"Ahhhh!!!" The maid cried out and blood squirted out of her finger and landed on Xander's face.

"Ouch!" Drake exclaimed when saw the maid's finger being sliced in two.

"Oh my." Jayda and Himari averted their gaze away from the scene, they couldn't take in such gore.

"Ewww." Miriam and the rest there were a little bit repulsed by the scene they just witnessed.

Xander arched one of his brows when he saw the result of adding a little force. He wasn't planning on dividing her finger into two, his plan was to start by removing her fingernails one after the other.

"Oops." He said with a straight face. With the expression he currently had on his face, one would think that he was mocking his victim.

['This knife is sharper than I expected it to be.'] Xander thought.

['It's the same with the other weapons that we got from the Dragnel's ring. But we haven't tried using the bow. Remind me once I have free time to test it out.'] Alex stated.

Xander returned his attention to the maid that he just mistakenly sliced. "I guess my knife skills are good, already had you screaming on the first try." He smirked at her and took a glance at the silent maid.

She was watching her comrade grunt and breath rapidly, trying to absorb the pain that she was feeling. The fire of determination in her eyes began to waver.

"It doesn't matter, I won't say anything to you!!" She screamed at Xander.

Xander only smiled at her, then he turned around and headed for the kitchen.

"Where are you going?" Camron asked.

"Don't worry, I'll be right back. Just need to clean the blood off my face and get a little extra something." He replied as he made his way to the kitchen.

A minute later Xander came back to the parlor with a bowl of salt in his hand and a napkin that he used to clean his face with. He went to the injured maid directly.

"A little of this should save me the stress of having to slice you up." He pinched a little salt and slowly sprinkled it on her injured finger.

"Ahhh!!!!" She cried out in agony. Her scream this time was louder than the first that she made when her finger was sliced into two. The salt fell on her meat and mixed with the blood that was rushing out of her finger.

After she calmed down, Xander didn't ask her to speak, after all, she wasn't who he was targeting. He continued to sprinkle salt on the maid's finger and each time she screamed out in pain.

Her face had turned pale now, due to the blood she was losing and her constant expression of agony.

She began to feel numb to the pain that was coming from that particular part of her body, Xander noticed that she wasn't screaming as hard as she was. He went closer to her and held her pinky finger in his hand. He stared at the finger for a while before he looked back at the maid.

Xander looked like he was trying to decide on what to do to her finger.

The maid stared at Xander with pleading eyes, she was already scared of what he was going to do. Since he began torturing her, she found out that Xander didn't even flinch once at anything that he did. She could tell that he was experienced in the art of torturing.

At one point she wanted to beg for him to stop, but she knew that if she breaks her companion will be left with no other choice but to put her life on the line for her so she kept her plea to herself and sang to every note of pain that assaulted her brain.

-Creak!!

Xander broke her pinky finger from the middle first then from the base. She closed her eyes and bit her lips tightly until blood trickled down. A drop of a tear slid down her eyes.

The silent maid watched her companion shed tears and her heart began racing, the fire of determination in her eyes had quenched now.

She was filled with guilt, pity, and agitation. She struggled to free herself of her restraint but much to her dismay, her restraint was still as tight as she found it.

The rope that Alex used to tie them up was the one he found on the clients last night. He found out that when he tried to rip it apart, it only got tighter and stronger. He was about to cut the ropes with his sword but Al advised against it.

Xander watched the silent maid struggle and a little smile graced his lips.

['Almost there, a little more and she would talk us.'] Xander thought.

The maid that was being tortured noticed her companion's reaction and quickly shook her head. "That wasn't enough to make me orgasm. Do you call this torture? Feels like a massage to me." She uttered with a fierce look on her face.

Her previous demeanor had disappeared, she now had a fierce look on her.

"Oh!!" Xander raised his brows at her. He raised the knife and pressed it gently on her uniform. He placed it just below her nape. "You know there are different types of torture right? I don't need to touch your skin before I can inflict pain on you.

She looked into Xander's eyes and still saw that same glint of wickedness in it. She swallowed her saliva in fear of what Xander was going to do next.

"What is your nudity worth to you?" He asked as he stared back into the maid's eyes.

The knife that was placed against her chest began to fall slowly, as it was going down it tore the cloth she had on. Making a little line on her cloth.

The Cloth slacked and fell off her shoulders a little bit, gracing the audience with a view of half of her cleavage.

Apart from the first time that Xander mistakenly sliced the maid's finger into two, no one had made any sounds.

They had been watching him torture the maid all this while. Now that he was had opened a bit of her cloth, Most of the males there couldn't help but stare in anticipation of Xander's next move.

The males from the righteous school averted their gaze and so did Camron. He was raised as a gentleman after all.

Seeing what Xander was doing now, the eyes of the silent maid couldn't help but water. She started to consider the option of telling Xander what he wanted to know.

Xander's hand stopped at one point, just halfway through her cleavage. If he cuts her cloth anymore, then her breasts might just fall out of their cover.

He looked at the silent maid. ['A little more and we are there.'] Xander thought.

['My man Xander, I knew you had it in you. Please carry on.'] Al said cheerfully. Enjoying the sight of the maid's cleavage.

['I swear I have never seen a pervert like you.'] Alex uttered, referring to Al.

['I am not doing this for the pleasure of seeing her skin, I have a goal here. Unlike you Al, I am filled with purpose, not hormones.'] Xander replied.

He snapped out of his conversation in his head and focused on the eyes of the maid. Tears were about to drop from her eyes.

Every other female in the room couldn't help but feel pity for her, they were females and they knew how priceless their nudity was. Tammy couldn't stand the males watching the maid being stripped slowly anymore.

She stepped forward and grabbed Xander's left hand. The hand that was pressing the knife against the maid's cloth.

"That's enou-"

Before she could finish speaking, Xander's hand slipped out of her grip and quickly appeared below her neck with the knife against her throat. Tammy was stunned by how fast it happened.

'His hand vibrated out of my grip. He is fast, if I move he can end me before I do anything. Is this the perks of being a lightning user?' She clenched her fist and looked at Xander.

Although her cultivation and strength are stronger than that of Xander even when he uses his weapon Dao and activates his bloodline ability. The reason she thought like that was that the knife was already against her neck.

"Do not touch me again." Xander's eyes started to glow with the same color as his lightning.

-Zzznn!

Streaks of lightning appeared beside Xander's eyes. From tiny little streaks, they changed into snake-like streaks that extended from his eyes.

-Zznnn!!!

The sound of sparks reached the ears of everyone in the room.

"Tammy!" Neko and the rest of her teammates called, they were ready to run to her aid.

"Stay back!" She ordered as she stared into the eyes of Xander.

At this point, she could see nothing but rose gold lightning in his eyes. And if she was to be honest with herself, she was frightened by what she was seeing now, so were the maids.

It was at this point they knew that Xander wasn't going to stop until they died or told him what he wanted to know.

['Ah, Rabbit, did I tell you that Xander was the reason why you killed some people that touched you unnecessarily in the past?'] Al asked.

['No you didn't, and it seems like you don't need to anymore. I can tell from his current behavior now.']
