I Got Caught Hunting Powerful Monsters in Secret Even Though I’m Just a Commoner, Which Led to Beautiful Girls From Noble and Royal Families to Come After Me - 54

Chapter 54: Training

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

At the Headquarter of Genesis in Leiden

Chamber of Judgement

“Damn it! Let me go! Do you think you can tie me up and get away with it?!”

Undead Harry was bound by very sturdy chains. His skin had turned pitch-black, almost the same shade as the room he was in. 

In front of him, Number 1200 was sitting on a chair, almost like a throne. Seeing how grotesque Harry had become, Number 1200 laughed. 

“Ahahahahaha!! Look at you! You look so pathetic now! Even though your father’s sugarcane field had abused me so much…. Ah, life sure has its twists and turns.”

“Sugarcane fields?”

“Yes. My onee-chan was abused by the nobles who were in charge of the field and she ended up dying… But of course, you wouldn’t know about that, would you?”

Number 1200 said, clenching his fist. He showed his anger blatantly at Harry. After hearing Number 1200’s story, instead of getting angry, Harry suddenly had a vacant look on his face.

“Obviously I wouldn’t know about that. Some worthless animal died. What about it? That kind of thing isn’t worth my attention.”

Undead Harry said, almost expressionlessly. 

“….”

Number 1200 trembled from burning rage. 

“You shall face a fair judgment from Persephone-sama…”

While still trembling all over, Number 1200 threw a pitch-black crystal at Harry. The dark crystal glowed in purple, enveloping Harry within the light. 

Gradually, an image of the sugarcane field managed by the Percy Company was projected by the crystal. The image, which looked like a gigantic photograph projected by a magic lantern, began to move and emit a sound like a video.

『Useless slaves! You guys are worth less than pigs1 Work faster!!』

『Arghh!! Please forgive me!』

『If you have time to beg for forgiveness, then you better get your body moving!!』

『Argh!! It hurts!!』

A nobleman was beating his slaves with a whip relentlessly.

Seeing their fellow slaves getting whipped, the other slaves started working faster out of fear. 

『Uhehehehe! You should’ve worked faster from the beginning! You damn useless mutt!!』

The noble shouted loudly as he scanned his surroundings. But then, he noticed one frail and beautiful looking young slave. 

The noble’s lips curled into a sinister smile as he stared at the girl. 

『Hey, Number 1199!』

『Ye-Yes!』

『Come over here for a bit』

『….』

『Why are you just standing there?! Didn’t I tell you to come here?!』

『Ye-Yes…』

The frail girl timidly made her way to the noble’s side. 

With a lecherous gaze in his eyes, the noble touched his shoulder and said….

『You don’t need to work today. Instead, come to my room.』

『…..』

『You heard me? Come to my room.』

『….』

『You little brat!! Are you deaf?!』

The noble shouted, slapping the girl’s cheek before he forcibly took the girl away. 

The image then shifted to Number 1200. The Number 1200 in the projection could only watch the scene unfolding in tears. 

On the other hand, Harry looked elated. 

“Oh? Is that your sister? The heck? You should be happy then! After all, she was chosen by a noble, right?! Ahahahaha!!”

Undead Harry snickered maliciously. 

“Ahahahahhaha!! That man, he sure knows how to treat his slaves!! Ahahahahaha!!

“…..”

“Hahahahhaa!!”

“….”

Harry continued laughing boisterously but then, the image on the projection began to change. 

『Today, we’re having steak made from the finest water buffalo that Harry loves so much.』

『It’s Harry’s birthday today. That’s why Father worked hard to get this water buffalo.』

『Onii-san, happy birthday. 』

It was the memory of Harry celebrating his birthday when he was little with his family members. 

『Father, mother, Isabelle… Thank you.』

Young Harry thanked his family members with tears welling up in his eyes. All of them looked so happy. 

『Ahaha~ Come on, eat it quickly before the steak gets cold.』

『That’s right. Hurry up, Harry. Enjoy the water buffalo steak.』

『Onii-san, eat it quickly. 』

『Ye-Yeah!』

Smiling, the young Harry stabbed the steak with his fork and put it into his mouth. 

Undead Harry watched the scene, looking happy. 

“Ah, how nostalgic. Even now, my family are still so kind to me.”

Undead Harry smiled, wishing that happy time could continue forever. 

『Huh? Why does it taste kind of weird?』

Young Harry muttered.

And then…

“A-Arghhh…!! Wha-What’s this?!”

Undead Harry screamed, terrified.

Both of Harry’s parents and sister laid lifeless on the ground. Blood pooling around them while young Harry continued eating his steak expressionlessly. 

Then, a slave’s corpse fell onto the same table as the steak. The corpse was littered with wounds.

A moment later, Harry’s supposedly dead family miraculously healed. Their body returned to normal and they were about to enjoy their meal.

But then…

『Oh? Harry, you’re eating it already?』

『Yeah! It’s delicious!』

『Harry really loves water buffalo steak, huh?』

『Onii-san, even if today is your birthday, it’s rude to eat so hastily like that. 』

The slave’s corpse was still there and yet, the four of them still ate their steak happily. The peaceful and happy scene lingered for a while before… Young Harry spoke again.

『Huh? Why does it taste kind of weird?』

And then, once again…

“Arghhhh!!”

Harry’s family laid on the ground, covered with blood all over. 

But this time, two slave corpses fell to the ground. 

After a short while, his family miraculously got revived. Young Harry began to speak again.

『So deliciousssss!!』

“Dammit! Why are you showing this to me?!”

Undead Harry screamed and closed his eyes. 

“Huh? What?! Why I can still see it?”

Even though he had closed his eyes, the scene of the Percy family in the dining room was still replaying in his eyes. The scene repeated endlessly, with the number of corpses increased every time. 

His family was killed. His family was revived. Young Harry eating the steak happily. His family was killed again. 

“ARGHHHHH!! STOP KILLING MY FAMILY!!”

Harry screamed and this time, a large number of slave corpses dropped on the ground. Pool of corpses were lying there, countless corpses. 

Harry’s family revived again, continuing to enjoy their meals with a smile. But this time, instead of dying, the sheer number of corpses obstructed Harry’s eyes. Young Harry also couldn’t see his family with a mountain of corpses between them.

“I see… The more corpses there are, the safer my family is. Fine! Kill more slaves!! Bring them to the table!!”

In response to Undead Harry’s words, a large number of slave corpses fell onto the table, forming another mountain.

『Ahahahaha! It’s so delicious! Ahahahaha!!』

『I know, right? Father worked hard for this! Uhehehehe!!』

『Ohohohoho!! Mother loves Harry too!!』

『Why are all three of you laughing so creepily?』

While they were laughing, a change occurred. 

The corpses suddenly began to move, merging together into one massive lump. The lump swirled, turning into one giant monster and the monster opened its mouth. 

The monster swallowed all four of them in one gulp. 

“Father!! Mother!! Isabelle!!”

Undead Harry screamed.

“”ARGHHHHHHHH!!!”

The four of them screamed, their screams seemed to reverberate. 

“Damn it!! Hold on! I’m goign to help you!!”

Undead Harry said but of course, he found himself unable to move because of the chains. 

“Damn it!! I can’t get it off!!”

Undead Harry thrashed around, but the chains only tightened around his limbs instead. 

“You! You shitty slave!! Get me off this chain!! Hurry up!!”

“…..”

“Can’t you hear me?! Who do you think you are?! You’re just a slave!! Take this chain away already!! Hurry up!!”

“”ARGHHHHHHHHH!!””

“Oi!! You shitty slave!!”

Undead Harry glared at Number 1200 and then…

The lump of corpses somehow escaped the vision, crawling into Undead Harry.

“I HAVEN’T DONE ANYTHING WRONGGGG!! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?!?!?!”

The lump opened its mouth wide and swallowed Undead Harry whole.

“Take it. Take Persephone-sama’s fair judgment.”

Number 1200 said calmly, trying to suppress his raging anger as much as possible. He stay seated on his throne, observing the grim spectacle. 

Hours passed. The judgment room was filled with echoing screams until finally, the mass of corpses stopped chewing and regurgitated Undead Harry out. 

Undead Harry was covered in unknown liquid. While staring at Number 1200, Undead Harry opened his mouth.

“Gaaah…. Gaaaah…”

“Oh? Looks like you finally learned some manners.”

Number 1200 chidded as he stood up and attached a sturdy collar to Undead Harry. 

“Now then, it’s time for you to do your first task.”

“Gaaahh…”

Undead Harry replied. He became unable to form any coherent word, let alone any thoughts.

“We’re going to crush your home.”

Number 1200 declared while Undead Harry only continued to let out indescribable guttural sounds and nodded.

“Alright. Let’s get out of here.”

Number 1200 said before he turned around and started walking. 

Undead Harry stared at Number 1200 retreating back and raised his hand. He then channeled his magic power into his index finger, summoning tall purple icicles. 

His expression was filled with murderous intent. 

But then, Number 1200 suddenly turned his back. 

Undead Harry immediately dispelled the icicles and started walking, trying to pretend nothing was happening. 

“Oh? It seems you still need more training, huh? Well, we have plenty of time to train you later on.”

Undead Harry didn’t reply. But then, after a short pause, he murmured in a voice low enough for anyone to hear. 

“Slave… Kill…”
