Death… And Me

Chapter 490 - Interesting

Roan immediately summoned a bit of Dark Element and used it on the guy. Sure enough, the pain immediately woke him up. Only a few could really resist the pain of having their life force and organs destroyed from the inside. The good thing was that he had already destroyed the guy's dantian, so he was as strong as an ordinary person, lacking the offensive to harm the twins.

"Ahhhh!"

"Oh! Seems like you're finally awake. Now then, let's continue like this for a bit longer so that you understand I won't accept silence as an answer."

And that he did. Even Rean was a little puzzled by that since Roan would first ask questions before using more Dark Element to force them to talk.

'Hmm? Could it be that you also didn't like how he almost killed the baby?'

Roan glanced at Rean but refused to answer. Well, that only made Rean laugh more on the inside.

It wasn't until the guy almost passed out that Roan finally stopped his torture.

"Alright, that should be enough. So, how about you tell me who you guys are and what your objectives are?"

Unfortunately...

"Kill me..."

Roan smiled after hearing the answer. He immediately summoned his Dark Element again and used it against the guy.

"I'll continue like this until you decide to talk."

However, the guy continued to cry without uttering a single word.

Unfortunately for the man, Roan understood what he was waiting for and murmured on his years.

"Are you expecting to eventually die with this method? That's not gonna happen so easily."

Roan's hair changed into a mix of black and white before he used Rean's Instant Recovery skill. In just a few seconds, all the damage caused by his Dark Element was healed.

"Look how nice it is! I can keep doing this forever without being afraid of you dying. Isn't that great? Show me that you have a strong will so that I can beat my previous record of longest interrogation."

Roan then looked at Rean before asking.

"Oh, right! How long did the longest one last? I don't remember."

Rean almost laughed after hearing that. So far, no one lasted more than a few minutes. The record was set by Calina's protector, the same one who betrayed her in the Profound Abyss.

"Hum... I believe it was around 20 minutes. However, this guy seems very determined. Who knows, he might last half an hour?"

Roan nodded.

"Did you hear that? Come on! Make sure to not open your mouth for at least 20 minutes, okay? Do that for me, and I'll be very happy."

The guy began to feel the taste of despair. He could tell how Rean's Light Element healed all the Dark Element's damage, just to be destroyed once again in an endless loop. Obviously, the pain he felt was the worst he had ever felt in his life.

"I'll talk, I'll talk!"

*Bam!*

Suddenly, Roan sent him flying against the jail's bars.

"Fuck you! I told you to resist at least 20 minutes, but you couldn't last even two. Are you doing that on purpose? Very well, now we're going to do it until 30 minutes have gone by as punishment."

Even Rean, who wanted nothing more than to kill that guy, felt some pity for him now. For the next half an hour, all one could hear was the shrill screams of the guy in the jail while he asked to be killed. Well, that only made Sister Orb more annoyed.

At the moment, she had enveloped the little baby girl with Spiritual Energy and stopped the sounds of torture from reaching her.

[Can't you be more discrete? I finally made her stop crying, for fuck's sake.]

Rean immediately answered.

'Sorry, sorry. Do you need me to come out and help?'

[Sigh... forget it. I'll bring her to the bathhouse to clean all of the dirt and blood on her body.]

'The bathhouse?! Won't the Dark Element make her feel a lot of pain?'

[Idiot! I'm the supreme god of this Dimensional Realm. I can obviously separate the Dark and Light Element from it, creating a gap with just clean water to wash her.]

'Oh! In that case, I'm counting on you, Mommy Orb.'

[Fuck you. I'm ignoring you from now on.]

Rean laughed again as Roan continued his 'special' treatment to the guy in the jail. Eventually, the thirty minutes were up.

"Remember, you better tell what I want. Otherwise, I will have you break the previous record even if we have to stay here for the next entire year."

"Yes, yes!"

Roan nodded, satisfied.

"Well, answer my first two questions. Who are you, and what do you want to do?"

"I'm Fiok Ulica, member of the Lakure Race."

"Lakure Race? What's that?"

"Lakure Race are the real ancestors of this planet. We were here way before other cultivators arrived."

Roan nodded.

"I see. That means you came from some empire or country dominated by your Lakure Race, right? Could it be that you're trying to get more territory for your race? That doesn't seem right since it wouldn't make sense to acquire more territory somewhere your race isn't present."

Fiok laughed after hearing that.

"Empire? Country? Hahaha! How nice would it have been if we had such a thing. No! We were banished and then sealed in the underground world. We lived there for many, many years. Our history is longer than any other country or empire in this world."

"Banished? Well, that explains why you're so white. If it was an underground world, then you would've never seen the sun at any given time. Of course, such an extraordinary story is quite hard to believe."

Roan narrowed his eyes when Rean said that.

That only made Fiok even more afraid.

"It's true! It's really true! If you ask any other member of my race, I guarantee that they will tell the same thing!"

Rean nodded before asking.

"Let's assume it is true. Why did you get banished and then sealed? Wouldn't it be much easier to simply kill you all?"

Fiok shook his head as he replied.

"It wouldn't. After all, our ancestors were no weaker than the invaders."

Rean and Roan couldn't help but feel that the story was getting more interesting by the second.
