I regained consciousness but didn't open my eyes immediately. Instead, I sharpened my ears and listened to any sound I could hear.
'Two sets of breathing sounds... Guards, I guess.'
I remember how I was captured by Noir Zeshion. This place should be one of the bases for the Demon Tamers. In short, the guards before me should be Demon Tamers too.
I tried moving my hands, but they were tied by metallic bracelets binding both my wrists. A metallic chain kept me hanging from the ground, pulling my arms up in the air. The chains let off a sharp scratching sound as I tried to move them, earning the attention of the two guards.
"Did this trash wake up?"
One of the guards said this as his metallic boots sounded rhythmically over the hard stone floor. A moment of silence... Then an immense impact hit me in the diaphragm. My eyes spread wide open from the sudden pain, noticing the spear's butt that was used to hit me, lit by the flickering flame of a torch right outside the cell.
