Alex looked around and found himself in a white room with no door, Hazel standing in front of him, her belly bigger than normal. "I can already tell that it's a fake from seeing how big the belly is. Is the realm trying to emphasize the fact that my wife is pregnant and that I shouldn't kill her?"
"Too bad. I know it's an illusion," Alex said, about to behead the fake Hazel but suddenly stopped. "Wait...can it really be that easy? Why did Kael say that the realm was dangerous if this is all you had to do?" Alex thought, his eyes narrowing.
"Not to mention, why was Elvis lying on the ground, her head cut off from her body? Where did she even come from?" Alex thought, trying to put all of the pieces together, causing him to come to a conclusion. "If I kill Hazel right now, it will become a reality," Alex concluded.
Alex clenched his sword. "I have already damaged him and he has also used his realm twice...though I don't even know if that's possible. But what I do know is that he's on the verge of death. He has to be...meaning, if I kill myself, Hazel and my child will be saved while Kael will be able to kill Tristan."
"Hm...I have come to a conclusion," Alex said, taking a deep breath, about to behead himself. "I believe in you, Kael."
With that, he beheaded himself, however, nothing happened. The sword simply went through him. "What?" Alex said, clearly confused. But before he could realize what had happened, Hazel's face turned into a demonic creature that looked like it was taken out from hell. "An undesirable outcome," the demonic creature said, causing Alex to be teleported in front of Ronx.
"Undesirable what?" Alex said, his mind working at full potential. "The outcome was undesirable so it teleported me to a different scenario? So until I kill someone, I'll be stuck here?" Alex said, placing his hand on his chin.
"Different scenario? What are you talking about?" Ronx said, his face unreadable. As soon as Alex lifted his head up, he noticed Ronx sitting there, causing Alex to have a slight smirk. "Great. He's already dead, meaning if I kill him...nothing will happen," Alex said, standing up and preparing to kill him.
"Is...that truly it, though?" Alex said, hesitating to kill him. "This seems too easy...but I can't think of any other way so this has to do."
With that, Alex tried to behead Ronx but before he could, Ronx suddenly turned into Hazel, causing Alex to stop at the very last second, his fingers slightly trembling as he realized that he almost killed Hazel. "Why did it suddenly switch?! Am I supposed to kill Hazel no matter what? Damn, Kael had it easy."
"...I wonder if I could have killed Elvis...after all of the times she has saved me?" Alex thought, his eyes slightly narrowing, though, he quickly snapped out of it and started to think. "The only way to escape this is to wait for Kael to defeat Tristan because there is no way I am going to kill Hazel."
---------------------------
Meanwhile, Kael was getting brutally tortured by Tristan. He was on his knees, knifes pierced his hand, forcing it to stay on the ground and making it impossible for Kael to move since both of his hands were stuck.
And now, Kael was about to experience true pain.
Tristan held his axe high in the air and deliberately made small, calculated cuts on Kael's shoulder, just deep enough for it to be painful but not enough to be life-threatening. Then, Tristan slowly started to cut his flesh. He took a huge chunk out of his shoulder and started to cut it into pieces. "AHHHH!" Kael screamed, heavily breathing. He could already feel tears coming out of his eyes.
But that made Tristan even more excited. "Scream more," Tristan said with a wide grin, it was wider than the smile of a person who wins the lottery. "Fill my ears with your music," Tristan demanded, slowly cutting his fingers one by one, making Kael to scream every time.
Meanwhile, Rose watched in horror, she couldn't move. She couldn't speak. She simply watched Tristan torture Kael like a spectator watching a match. However, she knew she had to do something. She tried to call out his name and give a speech so that he would be filled with strength but before she could, Tristan cut his ears.
Rose then tried to talk with him using sign language but before she could, Tristan had slashed his eyes, making it impossible for him to see. Every time that Rose would try to do something, Tristan would have already prevented it. It was almost as if he could see the future...oh wait.
"Is he doing this on purpose?! Is...he mentally torturing me too?! What the hell am I supposed to do?!" Rose thought, tears rolling down her face.
