Chapter 156: Letting him Taste their own Medicine (2/2)
I could use it to corrupt someone weaker like this guy who's only at Gold-rank in strength despite his Rank SSS+ Brain Capacity. However, if I wanted it to work on someone at the same level or stronger than me, I would be needing a higher amount of Psyche Energy which is something I didn't have a luxury yet.
When he saw how that toe disintegrated, his screams stopped as he looked down to his whitened toe, his feet started to tremble and due to that, all the attached toes on his feet fell down and disintegrated into dust.
”Oi. Don't pass out on me.”
I threw him the three boosts to prevent him from passing out. The horror of seeing his toes fall off his body couldn't be mended by simple Physique and Spirit Boost anymore.
Now that he's wide awake again, I continued in my interrogation and this time, I focused on one of his legs.
When I asked Delares who was behind the Black Market, the name of the secret organization turned up again which confirmed the triplets' claim. From that, the mystery about his identity and the goal of the secret organization came to light. However, he's not part of the secret organization.
Just like how the triplets call him, he's the Emissary of the Dark. He was deployed by his superior from the Moon where the Dark World denizens were currently holed up.
By the time I finished squeezing him for information, that leg had already disintegrated into dust.
Though I felt that it was not dark enough, I guess that's enough for now. If I also touch his other limbs, he might give up living entirely. Despite the pain he would be experiencing, he would be too broken and would just shut down his mind.
With only one of his feet, he could still have hope that I would stop and leave him to die without feeling the burning of his lifeforce again.
In that short time I was interrogating him, I learned a lot, not about this world or the secret organization they were working with but of the Dark World.
When I left his containment cell, Nysia appeared before me and immediately put me in her embrace.
”Thank you, Daisuke.”
She didn't mention what I did and just thanked me for the information I managed to squeeze out.
Surely, she's worried that I would think that she would see me differently, that's why she refrained from commenting on the method I did.
To ease her worry, I didn't answer and just responded to her embrace. I wonder how I looked in her eyes from the outside of that containment cell?
Haa… there's no need to think of that now.
I glanced back to Delares that was once again alone inside that containment cell. He's now in some kind of dreamland after coughing almost everything he has on him and of course, he's in no way near death. I made sure of that. Just short of a leg and his toes.
Ah. Maybe his Intelligence stat was burned as well. Who knows, after being put to that kind of pain, if I continued, he would surely turn crazy.
After we satisfied ourselves from the comfort of each other, we separated and went back to business.
Nysia pulled out her tablet pc and read the new reports there and when she's done she looked up at me.
The delegations from the three factions are about to arrive. They're finally here, eh?
Then this should be the last time to get information from the three if there's really something else they withheld.
I stared at the triplets in their cages. All of them were staring back at me in horror but that's fine, let them feel fear. If they're still holding off something, let them think about that.
If they didn't reveal it then they could only wait for their death along with that Dark World denizen.
I turned my gaze away from them after seeing that reaction.
After making only one copy of the information I managed to dig from Delares' mouth, Nysia proceeded to delete it from the computer's hard drive to prevent the leak.
And when we were already about to leave the room, one of the triplets shouted.
”Wait! Please… Hear me out!”
Upon hearing that, Nysia and I exchanged glances and smiled.
Now let's hear the thing they kept hidden.
