The Promised Vengeance Begins
"Too early was the mistake, Irene."
Irene blinked in confusion at Kim Jae-hyun’s words, but the words already felt like mockery to William, who had endured endless torment. Was he truly not understanding the meaning, or was he simply doubting it?
'Those cursed Demon King brats! I’ll make you all pay—without fail.'
William’s eyes burned with raw hatred as he watched Jae-hyun devour his son’s left arm completely, then rip open the right arm, tear away flesh and skin, and chew it to the bone. He gnawed on the remaining marrow and scraps with merciless teeth, twisting the bone fragments into pulp and devouring them whole.
Even though Irene had mercifully made the birth painless, Sophia lay in a dazed trance, her expression frozen in blank horror. Her eyes kept fluttering, fighting the urge to shut completely and lose consciousness. The faint tremor in her lids betrayed her desperate struggle to stay awake.
Jae-hyun’s gaze shifted to the baby, his own grandchild, then turned to Irene with a mocking smile.
“A mother’s instinct is born from the agony of giving birth. How much weaker it must feel when the labor is so easy and smooth?”
“But it’s still so pitiful for the child,” Irene replied softly, her voice gentle toward the infant. “What crime could such a tiny thing have committed? It’s only because its grandfather was trash that this happened.”
The family members exchanged uneasy glances. At least Irene still showed mercy, they thought. Sophia, still cradled in her arms, stared blankly at the woman who had saved her life.
To Sophia, Irene felt like the only light left in this nightmare. Moreover, Irene’s legendary beauty—already the most radiant on the continent—now glowed even more fiercely. The golden hair and blue eyes seemed to shine with divine splendor, enhanced by the elegant hanbok she wore. It made her look like a celestial being, a savior descending to protect the innocent.
William watched Sophia’s eyes—filled with worshipful adoration for Irene—and roared silently in his mind.
'No! Sophia! Don’t trust her! That woman is just as mad as the Demon King! She’s already been corrupted by evil! Don’t fall for it!'
He didn’t know Irene had become a true Demon, but he had long since branded her as no better than a Devil’s whore. The cruel hope-mocking she had performed just moments ago—pretending to defend Jae-hyun while tearing out her own breast—had carved deep scars into his soul.
The rest of the family still clung to hope that Irene might save them. William wanted to warn them, but his mouth was filled with his son’s blood and flesh. He couldn’t speak. Even if he could use mana, the mana cost of sending an Aura Message was impossible. He had no mana left at all.
The exquisite butchery of flesh and bone had been done with nothing but his own swordsmanship. No mana was involved.
'Krrrrgh…'
William trembled with fury at his utter helplessness.
Irene approached the crying infant, gently shaking her hand. All necessary care was finished; the tiny girl was healthy, her cries clear and strong. Irene lifted the newborn and handed her to Sophia.
“Here. Take her.”
With a tender smile, Irene placed the baby girl—William’s own daughter—into Sophia’s arms. Sophia’s body shook violently as she received her child. She couldn’t believe she had conceived, that she had actually given birth. The belly that had swelled overnight, the brief agony that had followed—everything felt unreal, like a dream.
Yet one truth burned in her mind: she had been raped by her own grandfather, and that violation had led to this child inside her.
“Ah… aaah…”
Tears streamed down Sophia’s face. This wasn’t the same pain as before. This was the agony of something inside her being utterly destroyed.
Irene reached out and gently stroked Sophia’s gray hair, her voice soft and soothing.
“It’s over now. You’re safe. Cry as much as you need to.”
Sophia, who had needed someone to lean on, finally broke. She clutched the baby tighter and sobbed loudly. Irene rubbed her back with gentle, comforting strokes, murmuring softly until the tears slowed.
Even ten years ago, when Sophia had seen Irene’s beauty, she had remembered only her kindness. Now that she knew Irene had become a Demon King’s wife, the family felt a wave of relief for their suffering daughter.
That relief lasted only a moment. Jae-hyun was already moving toward the broken, leg-less Rodriguez Count, his jaws still dripping with the remains of his son’s flesh. His eyes were rolled back in agony. The sight made Sophia’s family want to scream.
William was their father. His own father being devoured alive, and now their grandfather eating his limbs—how could they not scream?
But they couldn’t. They were paralyzed by Jae-hyun’s curse, forced to watch in helpless silence.
“Heh heh. William. The child Sophia carries will grow up to look quite like her mother, won’t she? Or is it your granddaughter? Or perhaps your daughter? Heh heh. Pregnant with your own great-granddaughter. How impressive.”
William trembled with rage. The humiliation Sophia had suffered, the humiliation he was enduring now, the pain his son was feeling—each one would be repaid tenfold someday.
'You bastard… one day… I’ll make you pay for this humiliation… krrgh…'
The metallic taste of his son’s blood made his stomach turn. The knowledge that the flesh he was chewing belonged to his own child filled him with sick horror.
Guilt and burning hatred toward the man who had caused this twisted family tragedy surged through him.
When William finally swallowed the last of the Count’s legs, the man collapsed to the ground, completely broken.
'Kreeeeah…'
Rodriguez Count let out a strange, broken sound, eyes rolled back. Jae-hyun’s gaze dismissed him instantly. Then his eyes locked onto William.
“You really enjoy devouring flesh, don’t you? Even your own son’s limbs. Heh heh. From now on, you won’t be able to eat as freely. Enjoy every last bite while you still can.”
'YOU MONSTROUS DEMON!!!'
William’s mouth was finally free, and his voice roared with fury. Jae-hyun only laughed in delight.
“That’s right. Feel it, don’t you? The hatred? The urge to kill? Your powerlessness? Your helplessness? Feel it all more clearly. You’re nothing but garbage. Not a warrior, not a politician—just a filthy, cowardly betrayer. A beast that knows no gratitude. Your very existence is a crime. And you, the Demon King who created me, deserve death for it alone. Heh heh heh… hahaha!”
Jae-hyun threw his head back and laughed loudly, the sound echoing with genuine, cruel joy.
Only William felt the madness, but his entire family realized the same truth. Their eyes widened in horror as they watched Jae-hyun’s insane grin. Sophia, trembling like a tiny prey animal facing an unstoppable predator, let out a soft whimper.
'S-so scary…'
Irene continued comforting Sophia, stroking her back. Then, from her spatial pocket, she pulled out a small basket, placed the baby inside, covered her gently with a soft blanket, and helped Sophia stand. She scooped her into her arms once more and held her close, rubbing her back with slow, soothing strokes.
William tried to speak, but his mouth was sealed again. He could only roll his eyes and watch helplessly.
'Haaaaang…'
Wrapped in Irene’s arms, Sophia finally broke. Her body was wracked with sobs. In this place where even her parents couldn’t help her, she unconsciously leaned toward the only person who had ever shown her kindness. Her exhaustion made her limbs feel heavy, as if the birth aftershocks had drained every last drop of strength.
She completely relaxed her body and let herself be held.
The weight of the girl pressed gently against Irene, but it was nothing compared to the power in the woman’s arms. Irene smiled softly and stroked Sophia’s back in slow, gentle circles. Her hands slowly moved upward, then downward, finally caressing the soft curve of Sophia’s hips.
For a split second, Jae-hyun and Irene’s eyes met.
The plan had begun.
William stood slowly behind Sophia, who was still limp and relaxed in Irene’s arms, unaware of his approach. Irene’s hands moved deliberately to Sophia’s hips, spreading them wide. The tight, untouched anus of the young girl was now fully exposed.
Sophia felt the strange air against her most private place and tensed instinctively. It was already too late.
William had aimed his cock precisely at her asshole. In one brutal thrust, he buried himself to the hilt inside her virgin rear entrance.
'Puuuk!'
“Aaaahaaaaaaaah!!!”
Sophia screamed in raw agony, as if her anus had been torn open by a red-hot poker. William didn’t even wait for her body to adjust. He rammed straight through her virginity, forcing the tight ring wide. Sophia’s virgin anus stretched violently, the delicate rectal lining tore, blood trickled down, and pain exploded through her core.
“Enjoy your anal sex with your own great-granddaughter. William.”
Jae-hyun patted William’s shoulder and stepped back, laughing.
“Aaaah! Ah! It hurts! It hurts! Help me! Please help! Nooo! Aaaaaah!!!”
Sophia looked desperately at Irene, but Irene only smiled coldly and pushed her back into William’s waiting arms.
“It looks so good. Enjoy it as much as you want.”
The betrayal in those words shattered Sophia’s trust completely. She had relied on Irene, and now this felt like the ultimate betrayal.
'Krrrrraaaaaak! Kim Jae-hyun!!! Irene!!! You Demon King brats!!! You will all be destroyed! You will perish! The justice of this world will never forgive you!'
William screamed the words of justice, cursing Jae-hyun and Irene to ruin. Jae-hyun answered coldly.
“Justice died the moment the hero Kim Jae-hyun betrayed you. Stop shouting about it. Go ahead and fuck your great-granddaughter—enjoy every second. Prepare yourself for the torment that’s coming next.”
'Krrrrraaaaak!'
William howled, glaring at Jae-hyun, but his cock continued fucking Sophia’s ass without mercy, dragging her into endless pain.
Jae-hyun’s gaze swept across the rest of the family.
“Ah, yes. You’re all here too. Watching your own father get eaten alive must be boring. Time to join in, don’t you think? Heh heh.”
William’s family trembled in fear, their eyes filled with hatred toward their betrayer. If he hadn’t betrayed Jae-hyun, they would never have suffered this.
