-krrssk- a noise made him awake. He had a keen sense as the top warrior in the capital, so this kind of noise would never miss from his hearing.
"i wonder who's that?"
He woke up and tried to stand from his bed. Just when his feet touched the floor, a blue circle appeared and glowed brightly.
[ICE TUSK]
-DHAAR- a large sharp ice pillar was raising very fast, yet he could dodge the attack. His great sword was the only thing that could save him right now.
"need to get it fast..."
[IRON MAIDEN I]
Suddenly, his sight became dark. He's being trapped in the iron cage. There's no exit or opportunity that could be seen.
"whoever do this ambush, they're really prepared it well.."
[IMPERIAL FORTRESS]
He enhanced his physical defense because as far as he knew, this skill that trapped him would give a massive damage to its target.
[DISAPPROVAL]
He felt his skill that increased his defense had been taken from him.
"disapproval? this skill need a lot of time to cast it.....and also need very spesific location....just who.."
If a skill was gotten canceled by [DISAPPROVAL], that skill couldn't be used for one hour. Chanotte had lost his physical defense at the moment.
"i couldn't use any skill as long as their activated disapproval.....so..what should i do know"
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
-zraaash- an attack came very fast. He was already trapped, so there wasn't much room for him to evade the attack.
"-kkgghh- do they want to kill me? i thought commander won't do it this way...WHO ARE YOU?! DON'T YOU KNOW I'M THE CHIEF OF KING'S GUARD?!" He shouted
There's no response from the outside. That's only to be expected.
-zraaash- another attack came. This time, his left leg was received the damage.
"i wonder if Chorin will realize something wrong"
-zraaash- the attack kept coming and he suffered blood loss everytime the attack landed.
"this is dangerous...."
Just when he tried to find a solution for his condition, another skill was casted at him.
[FALLEN]
He felt an intense pain in his entire body. His conciousness also slowly left him and he fell to the floor.
-brugh- Chanotte didn't move after touched the floor. Then several people with black cloak entered his room.
"it's quite easy for a chief of king's guard, don't you think?"
"heh, of course. Once disapproval is activated, no one could fight back"
"yeah, that's right. So what's now? we're doing it as we planned?"
"yes, let's bring this man to the commander"
"got it"
They tied him and brought him with them.
-byuur- a bucket full of water was poured and Chanotte woke from his state.
"-fuuh- this is.....prison? do you realize with what you've done?"
"of course sir. This is an order from our commander. Not even you, a chief of king's guard can ask about his authority" A man dressed like an executioner stood in front of him
"then let me talk to him. There's must be some of misunderstanding here"
"he will talk to you sir. But he ordered me to talk with you first" He took a sharp nail and a hammer
"... ridiculous. Do you think a torture will have effect on me?"
"i don't know sir. Let's we try it now"
He came closer and bowed in front of Chanotte. He aimed the nail to his pinky toe and raised his hammer.
-craaak-
-splat-
Blood splatted and his pinky toe was pierced by the nail.
-kkgghh- Chanotte growled and didn't let any sound out.
"impressive sir. You're the first that can endure the pain"
"like i told you, this won't have any effect on me"
"well well, we still have nineteen fingers and toes in total, so we don't need to be hurry"
"huh, useless" Chanotte snickered
The man aimed his nail at Chanotte's next toe and raised his hammer again.
"shall we start our conversation sir?"
"... whatever"
-craaak- another toe was pierced by the nail.
