Interrogation

They were caught when Kitsune brought a higher-class Mikadzuki into the interrogation chamber. She requested information on how to find out more about their scheme. Yes, they searched for antiquities, but what exactly were they looking for?

Each of them remained silent. They made it difficult for Kitsune since their closed mouths prevented Kitsune from using her charms to punish them much longer. She tortured them, but they wouldn't answer her inquiries. She grumbled and handed this to someone else since she was growing impatient.

Two hours later...

Surprisingly, a general from the Purple Flamingo squad arrived.

"Yo, Kitsu-chan. I see they made it difficult for you." He smiled with his eyes closed.

Saoyi Murasaki was a purple-haired gentleman wearing a purple tuxedo. His eyes were purple as well. All of his colors were purple, his skin excluded.

"What do we have here, two villainous characters with cuffs on their hands? It's nice to meet you." Saoyi smiled while bending over to look at their faces.

The two stared at him intensely. They knew him, and their hearts were beating like crazy. As they gulped, Saoyi approached closer with a mischievous smile.

"If you don't mind, can I give these two some taste to answer your questions?" Saoyi asked for permission to kitsune.

"Be my guest."

"Wonderful!" 

The 2 were petrified as their sweat rolled down their faces, they panted as his palms were about to reach their faces.

[REALITY MAGIC: INFINITE HELL]

His eyes glowed purple and he looked at them in the eyes. He smiled so viciously, as they were trapped in an illusion. The two Mikadzuki's eyes were entirely purple, the next after he touched their foreheads.

From their perspective, in the world that he created, The world was red and filled with screams and agony. Their heads were boggled by the sound, the smell, and the whole place was terrifying, according to them.

Then a giant came to them with clubs in their hands. They were bashed and hammered by them. Blood splattered all around, coloring the whole ground where they were standing with red and scattered organs. They died, but they were revived. As they opened their eyes, they were locked in a cage. Suddenly, a giant flock of hungry birds tore into their flesh, their bones cracked, and their flesh was easily torn like paper. Their organs were eaten from their bodies up to their heads. 

After being revived again, they opened their eyes with fear and saw a mob holding their torches and pitchforks whilst their hands were chained to a wooden cross. They were mouthless and couldn't speak a word.

Their pitchforks stabbed them. They began to let out screams, but what could be heard from a mouthless scream? There was just a muffled, high-pitched cries coming from their vocal cords.

Not long after, their torches burned them whole. The fire devoured them, and so they were burned to a crisp.

They were continuously revived for 3 years, with no end to their torment. Their organs were removed, all of their bodies were chopped, drowned, burned alive, fed by animals, and so on. All of those things happened to them, repeatedly without knowing when would it end. Saoyi then removed his spell, and so they were free. In what felt like 3 years to them, in the real world it was just 3 seconds.

Their eyes were red, the bags in their eyes were large after that, and they seemed paranoid. Their bodies felt tired and numb. They were afraid of everything around them and said "PLEASE STOP!" repeatedly as their tears ran down.

"Now, ready to open your mouths?" 

They all nodded violently as trauma struck them. They finally got the answer they were after. They were after the 8 rings. Kitsune asked what those eight rings were. They didn't know fully. All they knew was that the ring possessed an unknown power to revive their gods.

These rings were from all around the world. They collected one, and the rest were left off somewhere outside Celesta. 

They found one of their targets. They found a ring that was from Sameria and the Ringgu forest. The Ringgu forest contained a giant jade statue that was holding a ring. They discovered it from the information they gathered. 

The ring radiated a massive force of mana radiation. Once touched, they turn to stone. The jade was prohibited from entering because of the high mana environment. 

They later commissioned a guy named Esya'r as the one who would take the ring. His powers were not to be reckoned with, but he could be at least powerful enough to fight a general.

They didn't know what more the ring could do; their boss was secretive and wouldn't answer any more of the questions they gave them. Ever since then, they have been hunting warriors named Akira, Kazoru, and Volts. They were the ones who weren't to be underestimated. However, the boss saw them as yet another annoyance, thankfully not as bad as those two people from the war years ago.

Kitsune inquired once more, "What gods were you two attempting to resurrect?" The question remained unsolved due to their not knowing about it. They didn't know who they were praying to, but they said they were praying for freedom. Kitsune questioned what the point of the statue was then. They answered that it was to extract souls from one's body, an act of ritual. 

They needed spells for them to work. These souls were meant to revive gods as well. The method was complex, according to them.

Kitsune finally got her answers, but not fully. She then brought them to their cells, and hopefully, Sazoru would hear about this.

"You may now go, Saoyi..." Kitsune sighed and took a drink of water.

"You're not going to thank me?" Saoyi winked.

"Thank you, Saoyi"

"Hehe, oh, I met that boy you talked about 3 days ago, in one of your pictures. I guess he caught your eyes, huh?" Saoyi talked about Akira. Kitsune had pictures of him when she asked for a selfie with him. Akira was being a curious cat, walking around the prison since he had never been there before.

"Yes, he's cute and always hardworking. He's kinda hot without his clothes." Her lascivious thoughts distracted her after Saoyi went into the topic of Akira after he met Akira.

Speaking of Akira, Akira was genuinely perplexed by the sudden look of a strange man with all purple appearances. He had the impression at times that he was a brand-new prisoner with an odd clothing code. In addition, he thought the jail guards occasionally disregarded what he was doing. Indifferent to him, Akira headed to the cafeteria to find out what would be served if he were to end up in jail and what kind of cuisine.

"He's underage, but I don't mind your lewdness, hehe. I am aware that you enjoy young people, including kids under the age of 15, but keep it in check. After saying that, I sensed something in him. Do you believe he will eventually be able to master it, despite the fact that I observed it wasn't woken yet? You do know that's difficult to master?" Saoyi was speaking of what Akira contained.

"He and other generals also possess skills similar to what my brother possessed when we were in a dungeon at the time. Not only lovely, innocent, and sweet, but also strong. If you know what I mean, fufu, his abs and muscles are so difficult to resist." She was aware of this power since she had already experienced it, and with an unexpected change of topics.

"Yes, but no. About that, I think he may pick it up quickly with some practice. You are aware that you possessed the same power as his, but not quite the same type. For everything I know, I believe you were referring to power similar to "God's presence."" Saoyi snickered while talking about the mysterious power.

Suddenly, a beep appeared from Saoyi's wristwatch. It was because he set an alarm for his meeting in his base, and so Saoyi then waved goodbye and exited the interrogation room...
