Chapter 171 – Fuse

Episode 171 – Fuse

Again! Again!

Alyssa, who was lying unconscious in a dark secret room, flinched and opened her eyes at the sound of a regular ringing sound.

“Uh, um… This place…”

She was momentarily unaware of the situation and looked around her in a daze, then remembered her memory before she fainted and tried to stand up.

Shake!

But her body she couldn’t move.

Currently, her entire body was tied to a chair and pinned to the floor.

Her arms and legs were tightly attached to her armrests and chair legs, making it impossible to aim.

“Shit! What is this!”

Moreover, in the case of the handcuffs that tied her arms to her armrests, it was impossible to control her magic even a speck of it, as it had a built-in magic blocking function.

After struggling for a while, Alyssa realized that there was no way for her at the moment.

“Ha… The priority is to figure out where this is.”

She divided her focus around her.

All the information in this small space is gathered together to come to a conclusion.

A dark secret room.

Water drops falling from the ceiling.

A stench that gently sees into your nose.

When all of this was put together, there was only one answer.

“Underground waterway.”

It is truly the perfect place for insidious people like the Dark Church to hide.

The problem is why he was brought here, and in fact, if you recall the conversation before the battle, it is not difficult to know the reason.

He probably kidnapped himself to get information about Eunrang.

“Idiots.”

She may not think that what she knows is not so different from what is known.

Of course, we learned a little bit of his personal information through a brief conversation at the imperial party, but it is nearly impossible to uncover Eunrang’s identity with that alone.

Above all, I have no intention of ever saying anything.

Just as she was making up her mind, the door opened and her family came in.

“You’re awake.”

“You! I’ll kill you!”

Shake! Shake!

Alyssa deliberately appeared excited to catch her off guard.

However, Gaen was not interested in her reaction.

“Stay calm. Because soon you will start going wild even if you don’t like it.”

Grumbling─ Grumbling─

Now I see he wasn’t alone.

A dark elf followed behind him, dragging a tray full of vicious torture instruments.

Alyssa noticed that the dark elf looked exactly like Shakra, although there were significant differences.

When our eyes met, the dark elf spoke.

“Nice to meet you. It’s called Hydra. As you think, he is Shakra’s younger brother.”

“…”

“Do you know? “The fact that Eunrang murdered my sister.”

“What?”

“They said he raped her before killing her. Their dignity was completely trampled upon and humiliated. “Do you know that and follow Eunrang?”

An earthquake appeared in Alyssa’s eyes.

She couldn’t understand what Idra was saying.

After just a few seconds of taking in what she meant, she was overcome with rage.

“Do not be ridiculous! “Do you think I’ll believe you’re making up facts like that?”

“It’s true. Why don’t you believe it? Don’t you want to admit that Eunrang is that kind of person?”

“Shut up! Because she doesn’t fall for that kind of thing.”

“Trust is strong. Great. “I look forward to seeing what kind of expression Eunrang will make when she is betrayed by you.”

As if the conversation was now over, Idra quietly handed Gaen a pair of tongs.

Gaen slowly approached holding her tongs.

“Then ask. What is your relationship with Eunrang?”

“Shut up. “I have no intention of telling you.”

“Okay. Then, let’s start with a quick taste.”

As if she didn’t think she would answer from the beginning, Yen without hesitation put her tongs on her nails and broke them roughly.

Touddeuk!

Her well-maintained fingernails she were torn off and blown away.

“Ugh!”

Alyssa groaned in pain.

For her, who had always practiced her swordsmanship, this level of pain was quite familiar to her.

Even so, a moan escaped her that she could not hold back, but there was nothing wrong with her mind. Rather, the feeling of opposition against the two becomes stronger.

Gaen lowered her head.

“Hmm… For a noble lady, her tolerance for pain is quite strong. Good. Then raise the tempo. I will ask you again. What is your relationship with Eunrang?”

“…”

Too dede deuk!

Likewise, one of her fingernails was torn off.

Alyssa gritted her teeth this time, suppressed her moans, and glared at Gaen.

Perhaps impressed by her stubborn attitude, Yen continued to pull out her fingernails without asking any further questions.

She ended up pulling out all the nails on one arm her, then tried pulling out all the nails on her other arm her, and when that did n’t work, she ended up pulling out all the nails on her other arm of her.

Alyssa quickly became a wreck.

However, even in such a situation, she will not change one bit.

Idra smiled sadly at her.

“You love Eunrang.”

“… “What?”

“I can tell by the look in your eyes. She is in love with him. That’s why you’ve endured this much. “Pity me.”

Love is an emotion that makes people blind. It narrows your perspective and prevents you from accepting the truth even if it is right in front of you.

Idra felt sorry for Alyssa, who endured torture for Eunrang without knowing who he was.

Alyssa thought it was ridiculous, so she laughed.

“Under! “How do you feel?”

“Yes? What does that mean?”

“How does it feel to not even be able to confess to the person you love? You make it obvious like that, but the person involved has no idea, right? Even though I’m seeing it for the first time, I understand.”

Throughout the torture, Hydra’s eyes were often directed at Gaen.

Just as Idra noticed Alyssa’s feelings, Alyssa also immediately noticed what she was feeling.

Idra’s face stiffened at Alyssa’s question her.

After being confused for a moment, she picked up a random torture device on the tray and handed it out to Gaen.

“Tongue, brother-in-law! My fingernails don’t seem to work anymore, so I’ll do this.”

“… Okay. If it’s hard to see, you can leave.”

“No! Are you okay. They’ll probably try to break up with me when I leave. “That’s not possible.”

“I get it. Then watch from behind.”

Sending Hydra back, Gaen warned, thrusting her instrument of torture at her.

“You’d better think about it carefully. There is no turning back from here. Even if she receives treatment from the church, her aftereffects will remain.”

“Under! Do you think I’ll be scared by something like that? Do whatever you feel like. Even if I die, I won’t open my mouth!”

“Is it? Then there is nothing we can do.”

Gaen pressed her torture device against her thigh and pressed her buttons.

Jeeeee!

There was a sound of something rotating along with the light.

The waves emitted from the torture device begin to randomly mix up the muscles and bones, turning them into a paste.

A terrible pain stimulated my brain.

“Aaaaahhh!!!”

Even Alyssa couldn’t stand it and let out a terrible scream.

Such torture continued until dawn.

“Alyssa didn’t go to school?”

I was shocked by what Abel said.

Not only did Alyssa not come home yesterday, but she didn’t even go to school.

You could say she was late for curfew by the time she got home, so she had no choice but to spend the night outside, but going to school was a slightly different story.

This is because Alyssa has no reason to skip class without saying anything.

In fact, the opposite is often true.

If you carelessly skip class, the story will spread to your family and you will hear all kinds of negative comments.

You probably don’t want to hear those words, so you’ll have to force yourself to come even if you don’t want to go.

So in the end, there is only one answer.

The point is that she was unable to go to school due to an unintentional reason.

What exactly is that?

“UNI. “Did you say anything?”

“… Huh. I just said I was going to practice sword dance. “I just found out that I’m deaf.”

“Damn.”

At this time, I resented the fact that Alyssa was an honor student. If she had a roommate, she would have known this in advance.

Soon, after exchanging various opinions, we realized that there was no harvest and parted ways.

I immediately turned to Deborah.

“Deborah. “I have a favor to ask.”

“Yes? “Please?”

“Huh. “Is it possible to use the Ring of the Future Usurper now?”

“Ah yes. It’s possible. But why?”

“Follow me for a moment. “I’ll explain it there.”

I entered the deserted classroom with Deborah and explained Alyssa’s disappearance.

Deborah was very surprised.

“Really? It’s a big deal.”

“Huh. So, I hope you can look into the future with the ring of the future usurper. “Maybe there will be a clue.”

“… All right. “Just a moment.”

Deborah asked her permission, then closed her eyes and imbued the ring with her magic.

A gem shines on her ring finger.

Now that I think about it, I remember the day Deborah went to school wearing her ring for the first time. At that time, her classmates were making a fuss about her, asking if I gave it to her.

Just as she was trying to think of nothing to wake her up, her magic faded and Deborah opened her eyes.

“I found out what was going on.”

“You figured it out?”

“Yes.”

Deborah nodded her head heavily.

Even though I was happy for her, I honestly couldn’t like her hardened face.

“What did you see? “Can you explain?”

“… First of all, it was the Dark Church that did this.”

“Dark Church?”

“Yes. They kidnapped Alyssa… In the future I saw, Alyssa was found dead. There were signs of torture all over his her body her.”

“Torture… “It is.”

For a moment, her breath she caught.

If this prediction is not wrong, it means that Alyssa is suffering at this very moment.

Why on earth was she kidnapped?

I could guess the reason from Deborah’s awkward expression.

“Is it because of me?”

“Yes?”

“Is it because of me? “Alyssa was kidnapped.”

“Oh, no. Isn’t it?”

“Do not lie. Is it because of me?”

“…”

Deborah could not open her mouth.

That was almost the answer.

‘It’s because of Eunrang.’

If you were looking for a connection between Alyssa, me, and the Dark Church, there was nothing else but that.

She always worried about this.

Someday, people around me may be harmed because of me.

However, she thought of Deborah and Isis as the target, but never in her wildest dreams did she think it would be Alyssa.

If I had known this would happen, I would have kept an eye on Alyssa.

“Ha… Deborah. Do you know the location?”

“Just as far as the underground waterway.”

“You don’t know exactly?”

“Yes.”

Deborah looked sorry.

I smiled at her and comforted her.

“Why are you making that face? That alone is enough.”

“Luan…”

As I was caring Deborah’s shoulder her, I let go of her hand and took a step behind her.

“Deborah. “I’ll go find Alyssa.”

“Yes? “Now?”

“Huh. Because class isn’t important. “Please speak well to the professor.”

The moment I said that and turned around, Deborah quickly grabbed my hand.

“Wait! Let’s go together!”

She squeezed my hand with all her might, as if she wasn’t going to let me go like this.

I patted the back of her hand.

“Deborah. You have to stay here so I can go with peace of mind. Please contact me if you have any information. “Understand, right?”

“But…”

“You don’t trust me? Rest assured, not a single hair will be hurt. “I will contact you periodically.”

After repeatedly coaxing and persuading her, she let go of Deborah’s hand, as if she knew she couldn’t play a fool forever.

“Is it really? “I know I’ll get scolded if I don’t keep my promise.”

“Of course. “I’ll be back.”

Instead of saying hello with a smile, I turned my back and left the classroom.

‘Where are you? Where is it?’

Thinking about where Alyssa would be.
