The Redemption of The Chain Hero (TROTSH x Male Reader)

Gluttonous One

Y/n's pov

We all stood in front of the entrance to the underground slave chambers. Raphtalia and Rifana both stood in front of the whole group, staring down into the tunnel. Raphtalia spoke up after a moment "Idol imprisoned his demi-human slaves underground, and tortured them." Reichnott looked over at her "how do you know that?" Rifana spoke up "we were both one of them..." Reichnott and Melty let out a small noise of shock before Naofumi spoke "It's not too late to turn back, you know" Raphtalia shook her head "no, we have to do this." We all descended down the stair slowly after the 2 girls in front. We stopped after reaching the metal gate at the bottom of the stairs. Raphtalia slowly opened the gate, while Rifana gripped onto her free hand tightly. We walked silently down the halls until we came across the many locked cells. 

Raphtalia stopped and looked into one of the cell rooms, there was nothing inside besides chains hanging from the ceiling and beating weapons along the wall. It was clearly a torture room, and judging by the way she is reacting to it, she has been in there. Rifana held onto Raphtalia's arm, both shaking slightly. I looked over at another cell, frowning as my radar skill was picking up life in cells ahead. I looked at the 2 shaking girls before speaking "We have no time to be moping, there are still living people down here" Everyone looked at me before Rifana spoke up shakily "a-are you sure?" "I'm detecting multiple living creatures in the cells ahead, no doubt about it" Rifana stood up quickly, rushing ahead to the cells, looking in each one until she saw one with someone inside it, pulling on the door trying to get it open. I went over to her and put a hand on her shoulder, she stepped back as I put a hand against the lock and activated one of my skills to unlock the door. Rifana quickly opened the door and rushed into the room. I felt a slight pain in my hand and I looked down at it, frowning as I noticed why. [Cursed One's Ring] covered in cracks, the jewel at the top of it had been reduced to shards. as the shards fell out of the indent made for the jewel, the rest of the ring crumbled, turning to dust before it hit the ground. 

I put my hand down, hoping that I would be able to keep the curse negative affects from activating. I looked ahead and saw Rifana taking care of the demi-humans from the cell, giving them small healing potions that she carried around in a hip pouch I had bought her during one of the times we looked for equipment. I looked ahead as the others passed by, going to other cells and releasing the demi-humans trapped inside. Reichnott was helping the freed children as Naofumi and Rifana went and unlocked the doors to cells. Rifana finished helping the demi-humans in the cell we unlocked and then left to join Raphtalia. I went ahead of them, going to the cell that I had freed Rifana from long ago. I unlocked the door and stepped in, looking down at the fake body that I had created. despite being decayed to the skeleton, it still looked like it was Rifana. I looked around to make sure no one was watching and activated [Gluttony], the shadow creature went out and devoured the fake corpse. A new skill appeared in my menu [Dead Double] It allows me to create fake corpses of party members in order to create a diversion. I sighed and left the cell, looking around as everyone had finished getting all the demi-humans out of cells. Suddenly I heard a voice in my head "Hungry . . . So Hungry" I stopped where I stood, feeling a headache for a few moments before it went away. I sighed and began walking to join the rest of the group. 

We had walked up to the surface in time to see Idol, who was supposed to be dead, standing in front of the obelisk in the center of the courtyard. He was holding his pendant of the three heroes church up and saying something that I couldn't hear. The obelisk began glowing as lightning struck it. Reichnott stared at the glowing object and spoke "no... dont tell me... " Naofumi looked back at him "What's wrong?" Reichnott spoke again "the heroes of the past built that stone monument to seal a monster away. Is he trying to release that seal?" The ground around the obelisk began cracking as Idol yelled out "Go on and destroy everything! You are free from your confines now, beast! Bring divine judgement down upon the Devil of the Shield!" behind him, a large Tyrannosaurus Rex looking monster sprung out of the ground, letting out a roar. Idol let out another shout, a smirk on his face "No one can stop me now! If I kill the devil of the shield I will be eternally blessed by God!" His yelling was immediately silenced by the monster stepping on him, a crunch and splatter verifying the fat nobles fate.  The monster let out a loud roar and looked over at us, beginning to slowly walk in our direction.
