Chapter 168: Monarch of Night (1/2)

[Almon city, Deep Abyss Prison]

In Almon city, Deep Abyss Prison is very special, it is the most horrible place to where one can end up. The most dangerous criminals in the history of the Buraford Kingdom have all been sentenced to life imprisonment here. A place void of sunlight with only endless darkness.

Inside a dim cell, a man chained to the wall was looking at the person wearing a mask clad in black assassin robe behind that person stood a bald man.

”Why... Why are you here Night Monarch? Why are you helping the royal family of the Buraford Kingdom? Why...why..why!!!”

”Tsk, you are too loud, leader of the Shadow Squadron or should I call you Marko Sapis,” said Night Monarch in a deep tone. He looked at Marko with indifference, turned around, and whispered something to the bald man.

”Take care of our guests, let them know what it means to go against the creed of Assassins that was established by the assassin organization. I want all the vital information he can provide, I believe I can count on you, Thousand Deaths Monk. Right?” saying that he placed his hand on his right shoulder and with each second the grip of the Night Monarch became tighter as cracking of bones could be heard.

With the feeling of constant pain together with a sharp gaze that was directed at him, cold sweat started to form on his back. Without any hesitation, he hurriedly nodded his head. In a blink of an eye Night Monarch vanished and the pressure disappeared, Thousand Deaths Monk kept staring into the darkness, and only after a couple of seconds did his stiff body relax.

'That person stands at the pinnacle of all assassins in the organization, he is the only one who has the right to command everyone in it. This was my first time meeting him and getting so close'

Thinking so he looked at the Commander of the Shadow Squadron, Marko Sapis, and wickedly smiled.

”You truly are an unlucky fellow to think that you will dump upon Night Monarch and still dare to challenge him to a fight. Not only yours but also your subordinate's life is the hands of our master. You better open that mouth and speak out the truth, or we can use other methods. Like, this one” said Thousand Deaths Monk and giggled wickedly.

He took out a glass flask with a green gas substance inside it and slowly put it on the ground making sure it would not break.

Marko looked at the potion and smiled arrogantly ”Do you think that a potion can make me speak out the truth? In your dreams. I am Marko Sapis, you're foolish to think that my mental strength is so low that I will give up so easily? No chains can hold me!” He let out a loud cry, gritted his teeth, and tried to pull the chains.

Clank, clank, clank, susu susu.

The chains rattled and the sound echoed throughout the prison.

Looking at it in amusement, Thousand Deaths Monk shook his head.

'He is so naive that he thinks he can escape from this prison. Just like he had done in another one'

Not long after, Makro noticed that his magic power was getting drained at a very fast rate. He looked at the Thousand Deaths Monk with hate and killing intent.

Thousand Deaths Monk lips on the other hand curled up. Looking at the struggling to break the chains Marko is trying to break from he sighed.

'The Chains are connected to a magic extraction device and are strictly forbidden by the three Empires to be used on magic users. Even I was quite surprised by the suggestion of Lord Jai to get them installed for military interrogation with the integrated condition rune. After the magic is drained out of the magic-user. The magic-user will mentally and physically start to become week till the moment their magic origin itself starts to breakdown and the magic-user dies, that's why the condition rune is important, it will halt the process only when their magic origin is close to getting destroyed'

Thinking about it, Thousand Deaths Monk held his breath for a moment, quickly opened the cap of the glass flask, and let Marko Sapis inhale the gas, then he quickly closed it and moved some steps away and spoke with a mocking tone.

”Let's see how long you can keep that arrogant smile on your face”

Then he turned around and left, leaving Marko alone in the dark silent prison dimly illuminated by the fire torches on the walls.

Looking his disappearing figure, Marko shouted ”I don't know what the assassin organization is planning or why you are taking command from the Buraford Kingdom but don't even dream about getting any information from my mouth”

Hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha

Marko's eyes widened in horror as he noticed that he wasn't able to stop laughing, his entire body started to burn from the inside.

”Ahhh!!!! hahahahaha what...haha... have... you.. done.... hahahahaha”

The laughter of Marko sounded throughout the prison with his painful cry. Hearing that Thousand Deaths Monk shivered in horror, he stood three meters away from Marko and observed him from the darkness.
