52 Religious Fanatic. (1/2)

Ozul woke up to find Raven and Blaze training at one side while a big 'worm' squirming on the other.

Blaze was not an expert in tying up a man, so he had just wrapped all the rope around him, which made the man look like a wiggling worm whenever he tried to move.

They had not bothered with the man as they were waiting for Ozul to wake up.

Ozul yawned before clearing his eyes and stood up. He arrived before the 'squirming worm' as he gestured towards Blaze to untie him.

The guy even had his mouth and ears covered, how could he understand anything in that state?

When the man could finally say something, he started yelling;

”You Vile Evil Creatures! You Destroyed My Cultivation!!!”- The man screamed furiously. Only now, when Ozul looked at his face, did he notice the crescent tattoo on the man's neck.

”Evil Creatures, you say? Funny when it is coming from you.”- Ozul said with his emotionless face. He continued;

”So, tell me...”- Just as he was talking, the already enraged man started yelling;

”I will not tell you Anything!!! I will never betray my God! I will never reveal my comrades' location to you; I don't care if you kill me now!...”- The man had lost all his cultivation, living would only be a torment for him.

”Done? Now tell me, what did you steal from the Duke?”- Ozul said with a deadpan face when the man was finished with his gibberish.

The man only glared at Ozul with his bloodshot eyes and did not say anything. When Blaze noticed that he wouldn't speak as quickly as the thug, he arrived before him. Just as he was about to hit him though, Ozul stopped him.

”Don't bother... He is a fanatic from an Evil Cult. And you don't know how to torture... He will die before he speaks.”- Ozul knew that it would be hard to crack him if the torturer was not a professional.

'Oliver must have professionals...'- Ozul thought as he was planning to take this guy to him. He did not care if Count Oliver would also get his hands on the information.

The situation did not seem any threatening to him, but he was getting a bit anxious for some reason. Surely the lost item couldn't be one of his limbs, right?

Blaze again wrapped the man's mouth with rope and put it on his shoulder. It wasn't a challenge for him since he had advanced to a Rank-2 Fighter.

. . .

Sometime later, Ozul and the team arrived at Count Oliver's Manor. No-one dared stopped them when they entered through the gate.

It appeared as the garden had become Count Oliver's favorite spot since whenever Ozul came, he saw Oliver there these days.

He did not appear in a good mood since his face was all scrunched up as he read the files in his hands.

When he saw Ozul coming, his expression eased a little. But when he saw the tied up man on the shoulder of Blaze, his face lit up.

He expectantly looked towards Ozul to confirm his guess, and he was overjoyed when Ozul nodded in response.

”He won't say anything... you have experts here, right?”- Ozul asked Count Oliver as the man on Blaze's shoulder began to thrash his body around.
