Chapter 70: The Dark Power Within Her Heart

Somewhere in the mansion.

In a medium-sized room, Sasha lies unconscious on an operating table. She is chained down, and a male doctor, a middle-aged man whose hair is slightly graying, is preparing to operate on her. There are also the doctor’s assistants and guards in the room. A man who is wearing black ninja clothes that cover every inch of his body except for his eyes enters the room.

Daykona’s Ninja Guard – Sheeth.

“Are you ready to begin the operation, doctor?” Sheeth asks. “Mistress Daykona is very interested in uncovering her secrets. This is the only one of those five people for whom she has no background information.”

“Yes, in just a few minutes,” the doctor replies as he puts on medical gloves and a mask.

Sheeth nods. “Good, it’s time we find out more about this one. Mistress Daykona mentioned some kind of mysterious power emitting from her body.”

The doctor turns his attention back to Sasha. “Though, every now and then her body rumbles slightly for reasons I don’t know why.”

The doctor approaches the table, but as he does, Sasha’s body rumbles.

“See?”

“What could it mean…?” Sheeth wonders aloud.

“It means you are about to die, mortals.”

Everyone in the room is alerted, all opening their eyes wider in shock as they realize just who those words came from.

Sasha’s eyes quickly open. Her irises are still red, but the white parts of her eyes are now black.

Sasha’s true eyes – Dark Divine Eyes.

The doctor steps back in shock. “What the hell!?”

Sasha easily breaks the chains holding her down and gets off the operating table. She has a tremendous black aura.

Her eyes are filled with anger. “‘Hell’ is right, mortal, because that is where I will send you. Behold, my natural personality! This is only temporary for as long as my body remains unconscious. But I will find a way to permanently bring it out. I don’t know if you are aligned with my mother, the Dark Goddess, but if you are, I will make your deaths more painful. I am aligned with Zeth, someone I care for, and will follow him to Hell and back. I will slit the Dark Goddess’s throat, carve out her insides, and feed them to my Hellhounds. I will not forgive her for trying to ruin Zeth’s life!”

She puts her right hand close to her face as she starts smiling sadistically. “I always enjoy tormenting others! Just the thought of carving out the Dark Goddess’s insides as her screams of agony reach my ears fills me with the greatest joy! But she is not here, so maybe I should start with you lot!” She starts laughing with sadistic desire.

The doctor’s eyes tremble as he shivers in fear. Sasha's sadistic desires seem to pierce him to his very soul.

“W-well, Sheeth… It looks like Daykona has her answer now…” the doctor says, stuttering.

Sasha continues to smile sadistically, her torturous desires continuing to grow. “I’m going to enjoy watching as my Hellhounds tear all of you limb from limb.”

Sasha holds her arms out wide, leading to five orange magic circles appearing on the floor in front of her, five demonic dogs rise out of the magic circles. Their fur colors are a mix of brown and black with some glowing red spots. Their teeth appear to be razor sharp, and saliva drips from their mouths.

Demonic Dogs from Hell – Hellhounds

Sasha grins. “With my full powers unlocked, my Shade Magic goes all the way to Dark Creatures Magic.”

Sheeth steps forward, shouting, “Guards!”

The seven guards engage in battle. Sasha uses her now-faster speed and takes two of them out easily with quick punches. Her Hellhounds pounce and bite down on the necks of the remaining five, ripping the flesh from their necks. Now only Sheeth, the doctor, and his assistants are left.

Sasha smiles sadistically and then licks her lips. “Well, doctor, your time among the living is up.”

“No! Please stop!” the doctor pleads as he takes a few steps back while still shivering.

Sasha does a quick dash and grabs his right arm, and starts pulling on it.

“What are you doing?!!” the doctor screams.

Sasha sadistically smiles again. “I think you would look better if I…”

She rips off the doctor’s right arm, causing him to scream in agony.

“…took off your right arm.” she finishes.

She scoops out some of the blood from his arm with her fingers and then licks it. “Mmmm. Tasty.”

“What kind of bloodthirsty monster are you?!!!!” the doctor screams.

Sasha continues to smile sadistically and is about to do something else to the doctor, but Sheeth jumps in trying to attack her with a dagger. She grabs his arm to stop his attack.

“Don’t you worry, ninja man. Your turn is coming. Just wait patiently.” she says in a calm yet deadly way.

She kicks Sheeth back against a wall and then summons a small Hell Snake that then wraps around him. He tries to break free but can’t.

“This small snake is stronger than me?!” Sheeth shouts in disbelief.

Sasha returns her focus to the doctor. “Now, where were we? Ah, yes, I know what I should do to you.”

“Get away from me, you crazy dem—!!” Sasha interrupts him by piercing his chest with her right hand, causing him to scream in agonizing pain. “Gaaaaaah!!!!!!”

Sasha grabs onto his heart. The doctor’s eyes open wide in complete terror. Sasha smiles sadistically as she looks him directly in the eyes. “This is a nice heart you have here, doctor. You wanted to operate on me so it’s only fair that I get to ‘operate’ on you too. Let me see if your heart is okay by giving it a little squeeze…”

Sasha squeezes his heart in her hand and then it bursts. She pulls her hand out and the doctor’s body falls lifelessly to the ground.

She licks the blood off her fingers, and then looks at the doctor’s assistants, who are all terrified.

“You all could have tried to run away,” Sasha mocks. “Yet you are so terrified that all you could do was watch in horror. You assistants will make good food for my Hellhounds. Sick ‘em and feast!”

The Hellhounds attack and pin down the assistants while biting off their flesh and eating them.

While the Hellhounds feast on the assistants, Sasha turns her attention to Sheeth.

“So, now all that is left is you, the ninja who knocked me unconscious and kidnapped me,” Sasha says in an unamused tone. “Pretty cheap trick, taking advantage of the room going dark. But now you have no chance. To make it fair, I’ll even have my Hell Snake unwrap you.”

The Hell Snake unwraps Sheeth, allowing him to stand up.

“That’s what you think!” Sheeth yells. “I’m taking you down!”

Sheeth draws his ninja sword and points it at Sasha.

In one second, Sasha dashes from where she is standing to right in front of Sheeth, taking him by surprise.

“Hi,” Sasha says with a smile.

Almost freaked out by Sasha’s speed, Sheeth dashes to a different part of the room, and when he stops moving, Sasha is already in front of him again.

With a bloodlust smile, Sasha says, “I’m too fast for you, mortal.”

In his rising fear, Sheeth swings his sword multiple times at Sasha. However, she easily dodges the slashes. She swing-kicks Sheeth, sending him flying into the wall on the other side of the room.

Sasha begins dashing toward Sheeth again, who throws magic-charged darts at her. She sidesteps quickly to dodge, and continues dashing.

“No way!” Sheeth blurts out in shock.

As Sasha closes in, she holds out her magic-powered hands and swipes at Sheeth. The attack takes off Sheeth’s entire left arm and rips his clothes near the wound.

“Gaaaahh!!” Sheeth cries out in pain.

Sasha picks up Sheeth, and punches him as she shouts, “Now get lost!” The punch sends him flying through the open door that is the entrance of the room.

At Sheeth's landing point, not far from his body, is a silhouette of someone who is looking down at his body.

Back to Sasha, she unsummons the Hellhounds and Hell Snake.

She talks to herself in a serious tone. “All this power that I have out… It’s amazing and it’s even more impressive since my body is technically unconscious. I probably shouldn’t look for Zeth and the others because once this ‘high’ wears off, I will fall back asleep. Zeth must be looking for me, so I will return to the table and wait for him. I probably won’t remember much once my body regains consciousness. I must bring this out permanently so I can be more useful. But how?”

Sasha was able to temporarily bring out her natural personality and unleash her powers, but how will she bring it out permanently?!

Author's Comment: Sasha with her true personality awakened is my favorite character to write. Her sadism just works so well. These poor guys won't be the last to suffer at the hands of Sasha's true self.
