Chapter 1774 How cruel of you~
"As long as I have this body, you cannot escape.
Your Physical Body is in a partially dead state and in your Soul Form, you cannot use any of your abilities or your Law.
Do you realize what that means?
It means that without any external help, you are utterly helpless.
And trust me, Zyros,
Where I am going to take you, there will be no help, especially for a run-away like you who left his World and settled far away as a mercenary."
"NO!
You are lying!!
You are trying to fool me!!"
Zyros screamed, floating away from Nux again, and once again, Nux just smiled, letting him do whatever he wanted.
Yes, he was that confident.
He remembered how the Umbrasol Progenitors had stored thousands of bodies that were separated from their souls in a single chamber, the severed souls however, were set free.
At first, the severed souls were hopeful. Since they weren't bound, they thought they could leave; however, no matter what they did, nothing worked.
In their soul form, they were completely helpless. They were no different than mere ghosts who couldn't even touch physical matter, and since they couldn't get more than 50 meters away from their bodies, they couldn't leave the world and call for backup either.
They were utterly helpless and in a million-year-long history of Umbrasol, not even a single soul ever escaped the Progenitors' grasp.
The only reason the Umbrasol Progenitors even set them free was to give them a False Hope. It was a method to break them even faster. And it was an extremely effective method. Most souls simply gave up trying after a few decades. After all, what they went through on a daily basis wasn't something a living entity could bear.
It was a torture that could break even the bravest of beings.
At first, when Nux saw it, he was shaken. It was something even worse than the pain of the [Slave Seal]. Even someone like him believed that it was too cruel, but now…
Nux couldn't be more satisfied.
"Oh?"
Suddenly, Nux's eyes fell on the Titan, and he chuckled,
"Three down."
Yes, the Titan's life force had run out.
"You are the only one left, Zyros."
Nux laughed. Zyros didn't listen; he continued to run away. Once again, the limit was reached, and he couldn't move any further, but that didn't stop him. He continued to try, doing everything his mind could think of.
Then suddenly, Nux appeared right in front of him.
"That is enough."
Nux spoke, his hands covered in Death Energy, grabbing Zyros's neck.
Normally, this wasn't possible since one's soul simply passes through physical matter, but the Death Energy was one of the few energies that could interact with it.
"You want to know another interesting fact?"
Suddenly, Nux questioned as a small pin appeared in his hand, which had now healed completely.
"A soul is 100,000 times more sensitive than a physical body.
Do you know what that means?"
Nux questioned, his smile turning more and more demonic.
Zyros's eyes widened in fright.
"It means that if I pierce your soul with this pin, the pain you will feel will be amplified to a degree you didn't even know was possible.
So much pain that normally, your brain would shut itself off to protect your body from this unnatural torture.
But…"
Nux paused, his face distorting as he saw Zyros's expression.
"Yes, since your soul doesn't have a brain, there is no protection mechanism that can help you.
From the start to the moment I am finished,
You will be awake. You will feel every second of the torture I am going to inflict on you for daring to hurt my Vyriana."
Nux's voice turned demonic as he covered the pin with Death Energy and moved it close to Zyros.
Frightened, Zyros tried to move. However, he was just a mere soul with no physical power whatsoever. No matter how he struggled, his limbs simply passed through Nux's body, doing nothing.
In the end, Nux brought the pin next to Zyros's forehead. His resistance became stronger, but again, it was all fruitless…
And then,
"AAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Zyros screamed in agony as the pin very, very slowly pierced through his forehead.
The pin was barely 10 cm long; however, Nux took a good 5 minutes to inject the entire thing into Zyros's forehead, making sure the process was as painful as possible.
All this while, Zyros's screams never stopped. If he were in his body, he would have passed out more than a few times. In his soul form, however, he could only feel the agonizing pain while being fully conscious.
This was the reason Soul Severance was so feared.
Once an entity was captured, escaping was not an option. Only agonizing pain welcomed them, and this pain continued until their soul broke into countless pieces, returning to the universe.
It was the cruellest and one of the worst ways to die in the entire universe.
Something that made even the strongest cultivators shiver just at the thought of it.
"Haaahhh… Haaahhh…. Haaahh…"
After the torture, Zyros's breathing turned heavy. In his state, he didn't even have to breathe. It was just one of the ways to momentarily divert his mind and not recall what he had just gone through.
"You didn't think this was over, did you?"
Of course, Nux wasn't planning on letting him forget it either.
The ring on his finger shined brightly, and suddenly,
Tens of thousands of similar pins fell on the ground, and Nux's smile widened.
Zyros's eyes widened.
"NO- PLEASE NO-
AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
He wasn't even allowed to plead for mercy as Nux pierced another pin into his forehead, and of course, he made sure he did it as slowly as possible.
"As I said, this will take a long time~
After all,
My right eye still hasn't regenerated completely. I cannot leave in this condition, or my wives would worry about me.
So, till I am completely healed, it is only me and you here."
Nux chuckled, his golden eyes shining with a cold glint.
"Yes, you can blame yourself for hurting me to this extent.
See? Even after so much time had passed, I still haven't regenerated back to full health.
How cruel of you~"
Nux complained, and as he did,
"AAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!"
Zyros continued to scream.
