Initially, Zero and the other girls wanted just to kill their torntors. But, after they saw what Zero was doing under Wain's guidance, they changed their minds. Zero tortured the chief scientist in every way possible. The needles were just a warm-up before the real test of fortitude.
Wain was a very experienced man in this business, which any inquisitor would envy. Following his advice, Zero ensured that the scholar did not bleed out, was in incredible pain, and remained conscious.
It was a balance that only a true devil and a consummate master of torture could achieve.
The final chord was the cutting off of the skin while the scientist was still alive. Even Teresa shuddered at such a grueso scene. As an assassin for hire, she had often seen people tortured.
But, Wain was able to impress her. Moreover, Wain himself did not even touch the man. Everything was done by Zero, who was obsessed with hatred for this man.
The other girls were similarly not quick to massacre their victims. They were not as cruel and skilled as Zero under Wain, but they made the scientists experience incredible tornt.
When it was over, and the scientists were killed, Wain asked with a smile on his face, "Well? Are you satisfied?"
Zero looked at her bloody hands, then at her disemboweled body and smiling said, "Oh yes, I'm satisfied, I've never felt better."
Wain wanted to say sothing, but several ssages appeared before him at that mont.
[You have received the Title - ntor Inquisitor.]
[ntor Inquisitor
Every day people explore different fields and learn many new things. So try to figure it out for themselves, but most need a wise ntor to tell them what to do.
You know your profession flawlessly, but it is very specific. It is challenging to find such a skilled and unsurpassed master in torture. Your field is narrow but rare and creepy.
You will teach your students faster if your goals and interests are the sa.
As a master in such a terrifying field, your aura matches your skills and spirit]
'Wow, I'm certainly unlikely to teach anyone else. This case was more the exception than the rule, but an aura boost wouldn't hurt.' Wain thought.
The next mont an eerie aura began to emanate from his body without his knowledge. It was the instant effect of his new Title. Wain hadn't expected it as the others.
Usually, an aura was sothing invisible and intangible. But at that mont, Teresa and the mutant girls saw the silhouette of death with a bloody scythe above Wain.
An incredible pressure ca over each of them, and it beca hard for them to breathe. When Wain realized that he was doing this, he hurriedly suppressed his aura.
"What was that?" Teresa said, surprised, trying to catch her breath.
Wain shrugged and said, "It was nothing. I just got a new Title."
'A new Title? He has a Title?! Moreover, since he put it that way, it's not his first Title, but I don't have one yet... Damn, it's too dangerous to be around this guy for long, or my self-esteem will fall below the plinth.' Thought Teresa once again marveling at the power of Wain.
"Which one of you is in charge?" Asked Wain turning to the girls. All the girls looked silently in Zero's direction.
Wain nodded and said, "Zero, there is a huge world full of wonders and dangers waiting for you outside. There are monsters everywhere, ready to tear you apart at any mont. Also outside is full of people like these scientists. You and your friends can go anywhere you want, but you can go to a place where you will be welcod as your own."
Zero thought for a while, then asked, "What is this place?"
"It's a university in the south, ah, you don't know what it is or where it is, my mistake..." Mumbled Wain.
He looked at Teresa and asked, "Are you a loner, or are you seeking refuge?"
"Solitary, but right now, I wouldn't mind resting in a safe place. I could take those girls there. You're talking about the University of the Bright Sun, aren't you?" Said Teresa.
"Yes. Gisle's in charge there. Tell him you're from , let him help these girls get settled in and get them jobs." Wain replied.
Teresa nodded and asked, "What do you intend to do next? Is this the end of the lab? Are you not going back to the university?"
Wain smiled and said, "Maybe I will, but later. I have more important things to do right now."
He wanted to concentrate and find a spatial rift leading to Void, but first, he wanted to deal with another problem.
Wain looked at the monsters in the pods and pulled a gun from under his cloak. He aid it at their heads and was ready to shoot but suddenly stopped. Wain wanted to kill them while they slept, but he changed his mind.
'Hmm, that scientist said these creatures started mutating after the cataclysm happened. He was talking about the mont when the apocalypse began in this world. That ans these creatures are monsters...' Wain pondered.
But that wasn't the reason why he didn't shoot. He could have just killed these monsters while they slept and gotten so Soul Essence, but his attention was drawn to the syringes around the pods.
'There are many syringes around the capsule of this strange wolf-like creature, but what are they filled with?' Wain thought.
There was a dark substance in these syringes, but it didn't look like liquid.
'Is it dark matter??? This world is a little ahead of mine in developnt. No one in my world has managed to create mutants yet, that's for sure. Perhaps these scientists got dark matter from sowhere? There have been attempts on my world to extract this substance'. Wain pondered.
Then he looked at the capsule with the creature resembling a lizard with three scorpion tails. The syringes connected to this capsule were filled with a green liquid. Wain decided they were various poisons.
'If I press the button and the liquid from these syringes goes to these monsters, will they beco possessors of the attribute of darkness and the attribute of poison?' thought Wain.
To get the Plasma Destruction Sword, he needed two more souls: one soul with the poison attribute and one soul with the darkness attribute.
Initially, he thought he would have to go into the woods to kill poisonous insects and wait until nightfall to find the right monster. But, now he had the opportunity to get the two souls he needed. All he had to do was push a button and kill those monsters.
But, to do that, Wain had to wake up these monsters. They seed pretty strong to him because they had evolved since the apocalypse began and were mutants at that. Moreover, the substance and liquid in the syringes would make them stronger.
He could kill them now without using the syringes, but in that case, Wain risked getting nothing. He was soon to go to Void, and Wain wanted to be fully prepared for this challenging journey.
'I need to find out exactly what substances are in these syringes, but how do I can know it?' Wain thought to himself. Then he looked around and saw Dyo. She had not yet recovered, but she could stand on her own feet.
"Dyo, can you use your powers to find out what substances are in these syringes?" Wain asked.
The girl looked at the syringes and, after a while, nodded, "Yes, it's not hard."
Then he closed his eyes except for the third and concentrated. After a couple of seconds, she said, "There are so caustic substances on the right I don't quite understand, but sothing creepy and scary on the left."
'Yeah, the description isn't the most eloquent, but it's enough. Thought Wain and said, "Thank you."
Wain then walked over to the panel where there was a button that the chief scientist wanted to press. He turned around and said, "I'm going to wake up these monsters. Go away or stand in the distance and watch. If you get in my way, I'll kill you."
Everyone nodded and walked back to the entrance. Of course, no one left. Everyone was curious to see how Wain would fight. The man's full strength remained a secret even to Teresa, who had seen Wain in battle several tis before.
Wain did not know how strong these monsters were, but he felt that he would not deal with them in ordinary ways.
'When I fought the head of the Samurai robots, I wasted a potion and a skill scroll. I wanted to conserve energy before going to Void, but I can't pass up an opportunity like this. It would be better to sit here and rest for an hour or two and then go to Void'. Wain thought.
He decided to use his most powerful weapon and deal with the monsters without injury. In his opinion, it was effective and profitable.
So before he pressed the button, his aura began to increase rapidly. Then his hair grew longer and changed its color from black to white. Wain also got the appropriate armor.
Then Wain decided to release his aura with his newly obtained Title fully. Everyone in the room felt the pressure again, making it difficult to breathe.
"Unbelievable..." Zero muttered. She was genuinely fascinated by Wain's ferocity and his overwhelming power.
"Yeah... I definitely shouldn't piss this guy off. He's got so many skills, and after all, this is just the beginning. I shudder to imagine how powerful he'll be in a few months or even weeks." Teresa muttered.
Then Wain pressed a button, and the liquids from the syringes began to overflow through the tubes into the monsters. Wain felt their auras increase, and the monsters opened their eyes after a few seconds.
