Deep in the Living

Chapter 787 Torture Instruments VS Torture Instruments
"The Hand of Prometheus"

Roddy lost his arm in the fourth grade, and due to his inner obsession, he never accepted the technological repair or prosthetic replacement from the human side.

Imprisoned in the Fifth Hospital with a severed arm, whether by accident or coincidence, this hospital bears a striking resemblance to the torture chambers of Hell. The arrival of Roddy, the connector of Hell, has made this place the world's anchor point.

He came into contact with the torture chamber, met Hawke, and was awarded the "torture chamber arm".

For a long time, Roddy's fighting style was inseparable from torture instruments.

As he grows and moves to the corner, the torture instruments themselves are not effectively improved, and their effect on monsters gradually weakens.

Therefore, Roddy gradually put aside this pain and the manufacture of torture instruments, reducing the proportion of his use and focusing on killing and the essence of the spine.

Until they went to the dungeon affected by the comic book store, they obtained the fragments of "Fish".

Coincidentally, this comic also has a theme related to metal, but it belongs to a completely different comic book store system.

They brought the fragments back, and with Hawke's help, extracted only the usable metal parts, which were then combined with Roddy's current arm.

Two metals from different systems have been perfectly combined.

He was given the name Prometheus by the will of Hell.

The metal composition of the arm has become a variety that even Hawke has never seen before, possessing unique creativity, making it capable of manufacturing torture devices and constructing extraterrestrial passages.

The arm itself is also extremely resilient, perfectly able to accept the divinity descending from the corner.

but,

In Roddy's view, this arm has not been fully developed yet, and there is definitely room for improvement, at least in terms of the torture chamber.

Now, as extreme pain sweeps through his body, Roddy begins to recall the true nature of pain.

A grayish-white, appropriately sized iron chain with a hook-shaped end miraculously formed itself.

This iron chain is not a torture device, but part of his arm; his arm has "evolved" or become "perfected".

Even if you are not in hell, you can hear the announcements from the consciousness of hell.

<The Prometheus Arm is fully activated, enabling the creation of more effective, aggressive, and excruciating high-level torture devices.>
With a wave of his hand, Luo Di pulled the fallen iron chain back up and wrapped it around his arm, forming a completely new whole.

He could even hear the agonizing sounds emanating from inside his arm, sounds unique to the instruments of torture.

Roddy will take this rekindled pain to the dungeon, so that the former individuals there can taste this extreme agony unique to the hellish torture chambers.

"In a way, I really have to thank Mr. Rose. Without that cruel execution, I wouldn't have had that special experience of being tortured, and I wouldn't have come here to challenge Hawke."

When I become a god, I must bring him an even more perfect execution.

After a slight reorganization,
After adjusting his state, and guided by the moonlight, Roddy officially began his attack.

however,
He had barely taken his first step when... his tongue snapped shut! Danger was imminent.

The floor beneath their feet suddenly slipped into the air, and the meat grinder below was spinning wildly.

The weird thing is,
Roddy is able to fly, and even by jumping or using chains to pull himself, he can avoid falling into them.

But he couldn't do anything.

It's as if the trap was "triggered" the moment he kicked out, and once triggered, it was bound to take effect on him.

Or, as long as one has the thought of killing Hawke, any act of approaching him will indiscriminately trigger the torture device and will inevitably hit him.

After being ground by the meat grinder

Roddy miraculously managed to crawl out intact. Although he was bleeding profusely from all over his body, his vital organs were unharmed.

Hawke, who was not far away, was somewhat surprised. "Oh! You actually managed to withstand the minced meat with your bare body. Your body has changed a lot... It seems that some kind of very hard substance has been added."

Roddy quickly repaired his body and continued forward.

Little did they know that as soon as they took the second step, the torture device was triggered again.

This time it was even more outrageous. A special guillotine was implanted directly into the chest, the mechanism was activated, and the chest was being slowly pried open.

Snapped!
Instead of forcibly removing the ripper, Roddy reached out and pressed it down, securing it firmly with chains.

At the same time, he braced himself on the ground with one hand.

[Creating a Passage] Since going straight ahead would constantly trigger various traps and attract different kinds of torture instruments, Roddy could only try to take the back path.

The other end of the passage was positioned behind Hawke.

Create quickly, traverse swiftly.

however……

The Hand of Prometheus was created in the torture chamber, and no one understood its effects better than Hawke, who also conducted research on the passageways.

When Roddy crawled out of the tunnel, he landed in a pitch-black environment, and various hooks instantly pierced his body.

Hawke's specially made Iron Maiden is ready.

When the Iron Maiden reopens,
Luo Di, who had been skinned and had his bones removed, fell straight out of the room. The guillotine he had suppressed was also activated, causing double damage.

All the internal organs slid out, even the heart rolled onto the ground, still encased in metal and connected to blood vessels, beating gently.

but,

Faint, delicate little hands of a young girl reached out from within her body and picked up the items.

Roddy also regained his breathing and stood up again... The unexpectedly intense pain caused him to grin an extremely exaggerated smile.

Haha... Ah!

The laughter that escaped for a moment was somewhat similar to that of Jock.

The creation of the passage did not shorten the distance between the two; it merely added an extra step.

To get close to Hawke, one must take it one step at a time and willingly endure one extreme form of torture after another.

A full hour has passed.

Hawke's expression gradually changed from calm to shock.

The great demon that had not yet established its own kingdom actually approached, and even though it was not in human form, it was still moving its feet.

He could even faintly hear the heavy footsteps, and the moonlight continued to shine on him.

"The pale moonlight that fell on Roddy was something that had never been there before... This strange whitening seemed useless, but it actually seemed to anchor his consciousness."

No matter how much suffering one endures, consciousness will never fade.

Thinking of this, Hawke couldn't help but look up, wanting to see what the source of the moonlight was.

in an instant,
He seemed to see a deep, narrow, pitch-black passage, as if some extremely dangerous entity was inside.

However, this distraction wasted some time.

By the time Hawke came to his senses, Roddy was already standing in front of him.

Half of his head was left, his chin was missing, his chest cavity was open, and he was filled with longing.

One foot was supported only by a makeshift metal rod, the other foot was just bone, and the back was being pulled tightly by multiple hooked threads.

Even so,

Roddy still came up to him and still made the chopping motion.

Knife up and down.

Caught off guard, Hawke felt a faint sense of fear deep within his heart and quickly used the huge hook that grew from his palm to block the slash.

Hey~
The sound of the slash was very faint, and Roddy's pupils dimmed, clearly indicating that he had reached his limit.

"If this guy advances any further, he might actually have a chance to kill me... Hmm? When?"

Hawke suddenly realized something and abruptly looked down.

He had stepped into a trap, a bear trap he'd never seen before. Any movement would trigger it, and the moonlight marker had already landed on him.

At the same time, a delicate woman's hand quietly peeled back Roddy's hand and helped him grip the cleaver.

Go around the hook and chop off the head with one stroke.
