The Legendary Man

Chapter 413 Decide

“Finally, when he’s at the itchiest stage, he’ll have a sudden burst of potential. He’ll be able to leap out of the ground. However, what comes out is a skinless corpse. His skin will still be buried in the ground. This is one of the top ten most torturous punishments in history, also known as Mercury Flaying. Have you ever heard of it?”

“N-No.” Waxon could already feel an itch all over his body just by listening to Jonathan describing the punishment.

It was as if he had just experienced the entire punishment.

Jonathan smiled. “No? It’s okay. I have other punishments. The second one punishes the person by removing all his facial features, including his tongue and limbs. Then, he’ll be placed in a jug and buried in the ground. The person won’t die and will be kept alive. Even if he’s on the brink of death, the authorities will use other methods to bring him back to life. He’ll remain alive as long as the authorities don’t want him to die. This is called Human Swine. I heard it was invented by a queen from ancient times. Have you heard of this one?”

“Stop it! Shut up! Shut up!” Waxon screamed.

Waxon was about to lose his mind just by listening to Jonathan talking about the punishments.

What are these Chanaean’s minds made of? How can they invent such horrifying punishments?

“Relax. I still have one more punishment untold.” Jonathan flicked the cigarette ash and fixed his eyes on Waxon. “In Chanaea, we have a medieval punishment called Lingering Death. You should be familiar with it, right? First, the criminal will be tied up. Then, he’ll be wrapped in a fishing net. After that, the authorities will use the sharpest knife and start cutting the flesh that’s exposed outside the net. Oh, that reminds me. This punishment has another name, called Death by a Thousand Cuts. It means that as long as there aren’t a thousand cuts yet, the criminal won’t get to die, no matter how hard he begs.”

When Jonathan finished his last sentence, he gave Waxon a calm look. The sight of the latter trembling uncontrollably put a subtle smile on Jonathan’s face. “Among these three punishments, which one do you prefer more, Waxon?”

“None of them!” Waxon trembled intensely as if his rejection was oozing out of his pores. “Listen here, Jonathan. Shoot me if you dare, but the mighty Hunters Guild will never give in to your threats.”

Jonathan chuckled and threw his cigarette onto the ground. “I’d like to see just how brave you
