cell.
With a creaking sound, the cell door was pushed open by a gust of air, and a demon with jet-black wings stood in the room.
Looking at the resolute-faced warrior, Freer bowed and offered a polite smile:
"Hero, now is the time for interrogation..."
……
……
……
Torture Officer VS Hero.
This is the first torture to be conducted since Freer awakens.
Having already prepared himself mentally, Mino slowly turned around, pointed at Freer, and a resolute smile spread across his face:
"In that case, I've chosen you!"
"Go, Artotai, go and be tortured!!!"
"Hey!" The Holy Sword, who had been inexplicably caught in the crossfire in the corner, suddenly straightened up: "They're obviously after you, aren't they?! Don't run away from reality!!!"
Inside the cell, Kletina, Fim, and Migo entered one after another.
Seeing Mino's state, Migo rubbed his forehead: "This guy is hopeless."
Fim swayed her little skirt and clasped her fists together in front of her chest: "Mino, go for it!"
Kleidina also sighed softly: "Hero, I'm sorry to say, but this time, you are the one being tortured."
"After all, the information we're interrogating you about this time is related to your close friend, Prince Ota of the kingdom—"
"Prince Ota?"
Mino's expression shifted, then she stared intently at Freer in the arena, a slight smile playing on her lips: "How laughable, you actually think you can extract information about Ota from me?"
"Hahaha! So, demons are demons after all!"
With a fighting spirit burning in her eyes, Mino declared loudly, "Do I need to reiterate my relationship with Prince Ota?"
"You should know that Prince Ota is a close friend I made when I was still a commoner! Back then, before I knew his royal identity, we forged a deep and sincere friendship on the battlefield, sharing life and death, and bringing the Kingdom of Kur to its most prosperous state!"
"The bond between us has long surpassed that of ruler and subject; it is more like that of brothers!"
"Under such circumstances, you actually think I would betray my dearest friend, who is more important than life itself, the great king who sits on the throne of the kingdom, the one whose fate is tied to the fate of all mankind?"
With a haughty smirk, Mino declared in a thunderous voice:
"You guys, don't underestimate the friendship between humans, Kora—!!!!"
In the corner, Altottai squinted and muttered:
"If you hadn't already given it away twice for free, I probably would have believed you."
Freer adjusted the dark halo above his head and chuckled, "I've seen too many opening lines like this, Hero... but this time, I suggest you just confess obediently."
"Because you are no longer facing other inexperienced demons, but me, the Fourth Demon Officer who has long been in charge of interrogation and torture of demons, the Great Demon of the Fallen Angels."
"You wouldn't want to lose your composure in front of these three ladies, would you?"
"Goo!"
As if a sore spot had been touched, Mino said stiffly:
"Is this your intention in inviting three female demons to watch? How despicable!"
"However... whether you want me to 'ahhh' or 'roarroro,' it's not that easy, so—"
Looking righteously into Freer's eyes, Mino said in a solemn voice:
"I'm prepared to hear what you want to interrogate first, and then I'll give you an answer!"
"Hey!" Altottai exclaimed, "You're practically giving yourself away! Human friendship is utterly useless, huh!"
"It's a very simple question." Freer smiled and spread his hands:
"You probably don't know this yet, Mino the hero who's currently in prison, but Ota, who's only one step away from the throne, is about to begin the selection of his queen."
"It must be said that the king, who possesses both shrewdness and wisdom, has been patient enough for so long that he has only now begun to finalize the selection of his queen. But no matter what, he is still a human being. I would not believe that he has no woman he is fond of."
Freer smiled and looked at Mino:
"As Otto's close friend who has been by his side for a long time, you must know who his favorite candidate for queen is, right?"
"You intend to... assassinate the princess?!"
Mino's expression hardened, and he immediately understood the demons' intentions.
If they wait until the queen is chosen and brought into the palace by the paladins and Ota, the demons will have very little room to maneuver.
Therefore, their plan is to assassinate the candidates for the queen, severely damaging the kingdom and their dearest friend's spirit, causing them deep wounds!
"How despicable!" Mino cursed through gritted teeth.
Freer did not deny it, but the aura surrounding him grew increasingly sinister:
"We're not just targeting Prince Otta."
"Hero, if your betrayal of Ota's information leads to that tragedy, I'm afraid you... will also be trapped in a long period of self-blame and regret, won't you?"
Chapter 381 Blasphemy: Hero, Begin Your Corruption!
"demon!"
Inside the cell, Mino couldn't help but curse.
"Thank you for the compliment." Freer smiled.
"Angel!"
"No, why are you swearing at me?!" Freer's eyes widened.
"No matter what," Mino took a deep breath, "you won't get a single piece of information about Ota from me!"
What a joke!
In the past, minor squabbles were one thing, but now, these treacherous demons are plotting to assassinate the queen of a kingdom, causing their dearest friend immense pain.
In this situation, to give it away for free would be rather inhumane, wouldn't it?!
For Prince Ota's happiness, and on the name of Mino, he absolutely cannot back down!!!
“My lord, I need to remind you—” from the corner, Artotai said at the opportune moment, “Your name was already lost in the very first torture.”
During the game, Freer gently fluttered his wings:
"You're really stubborn, hero."
"However, this is the only time you can show off. Don't forget, you have lost your power now, and you can't resist my actions as the 'Angel of Plague'... Hehe, as a human, you can only break your undefeated legend today."
Altottai asked in bewilderment, "What makes them invincible?"
"Hmph! Are you going to use your filthy plague again?!" Mino crossed his arms and sneered, "Then let me tell you something first."
With a loud thud, Mino suddenly leaped onto the bed, hands on her hips, and declared with utter arrogance:
"Both I and my good-for-nothing sister underwent extremely rigorous poison tolerance training when we were very young!"
“From the moment I was weaned, I received three meals a day without fail! This training lasted for almost twenty years, until I became a hero and was rescued from that darkest nightmare by rye bread!”
In the corner of the cell, Fim slightly raised his head.
I suddenly remembered the dishes that Mino's mother, Eunice, made for me when I was at Mino's house.
"In short, no matter what kind of plague it is, it won't have much effect on me!" Mino clenched his fist like a victor and said with a deep expression, "This is protection that doesn't require the enhancement of holy power, but rather the superb resistance of my body and muscles!"
"It's already become a habit!!!"
"I see." In the corner, Kletina seemed to recall something:
"No wonder the Swamp Demons, who once guarded the border of the Holy Mino, were so easily wiped out by you. It was from then on that the rumor of 'the brave Mino being immune to all poisons' arose."
"What a terrifying hero... Did he really plan all this from childhood?" Kletina recalled with a hint of apprehension.
The Swamp Demons are a powerful race of demons who are skilled in using poison and debuff magic. The poison they used against the hero Mino in that battle was enough to kill a dragon.
Even with the strongest holy power protecting them, their combat strength will be greatly affected.
However, in that war, Mino decisively broke through the demons' defenses, achieving the greatest victory for humanity.
Looking back now, Minolta's resistance to highly toxic substances may have reached an unbelievable level...
Even a toxin of the level of a great demon might not necessarily gain much advantage over him.
however.
Freer adjusted the dark halo above his head, stroked his chin, and quickly revealed a carefree and fearless smile:
"This is truly an unexpected secret. If I were really just a demon wielding deadly poison, I would probably have no choice but to admit defeat right now."
"However, Hero, you've probably sensed something along the lines of it all, haven't you..."
Freer lowered his head and smiled as he spoke:
"—Was what I used in the battle really just simple 'poison'?"
Mino's gaze narrowed slightly.
This was also something he had been wondering about.
He did indeed possess extremely high poison resistance: yet in his battle with Freer, the latter's plague still inflicted considerable damage on him… What's even more troublesome is that the plague could even affect energies like holy power! This completely exceeds the capabilities of poison!
Keep in mind, the other party claims to be a demon wielding the power of "blasphemy"—
Right now, it seems the other party is ready to reveal the truth about his power to him:
"Hero, what do you think poison really is?"
Liquid-like magic surged from Freer's hands, twisting and swirling at his fingertips:
"When external substances enter the human body, some can be regarded as nutrients and thus digested and absorbed; others will harm the human body. When those substances accumulate to a certain extent, they will cause discomfort or even fatal reactions in the human body."
Therefore, we can conclude that what the human body cannot tolerate is toxins.
