Questions (Short Chapter)

Apateon weakly lifting his head, eyes filled with resignation

"Why should I speak of my pack to you human?"

Getting closer to the wolf I lean over him, and my expression went cold as mana began to build up around my hand

"I don't like torturing but my magic is very good at it for example taking the air out of your lungs"

Saying so my hand that was surrounded by a green hue touch his chest

*GASP*

Apateon eyes bulge as he gasped for air, but it could not reach his lungs air as the air was continuously being sucked out of him. As he was on the verge of losing consciousness, I stopped retracting my hand from his chest and stepped back

Taking in as much air as possible Apateon started to cough before his breath stabilized. His eyes hazed with exhaustion looked up at me as I started to build up mana around my hand again

"The only reason why you are still alive is because you can still provide me with valuable information. Spare yourself further suffering, and I might consider granting you a swift end."

Apateon hesitant but seeing no other option but to tell the human otherwise he would experience being tortured again and dying a slow and painful death.

"Very well, human. I am Apateon! one of the 3 vassals of our great king, in fact I am the last one out of the 3."

"Does the rank of a vassal also rank how strong you are compared to the other?"

Groaning to what I said Apateon answered

"Yes, I am the weakest one out of the 3. The second vassal is Teras she is a vicious and manipulative woman. Infact she was the one that planned out this ambush I am kinda happy that her plan faild since I will die, she will have to take the punishment for this failure. She deserves it though she who does not care to trade the live of her fellow comrades for victory is someone I don't respect."

"Guess you don't have a good relationship with her. Talk about the rest"

"Our great king's name is Ragnar, a powerful wolf, he is not only physically strong but possesses a keen intellect he is the pinnacle of what a king should be unlike the king that rules you maybe you humans should serve him instead and his magic is truly magnificent, even without it he could easily defeat me.'

'Dick riding at its best'

"But you must know, human, he is not to be taken lightly. Facing him you will die even though I have failed to kill you myself my lord won't make the same mistake and fail."

As I looked down at him a huge grin appeared on my face

'Who says I have to fight him all I have to do is report what is happening to the chief and he will alert the magic knight then the only thing I have to do is just delay him until the magic knight appear'

"Tell me more, what about the first vassal"

"I-I honestly do not know much about him. I have only meet him once and it was when I was appointed as the third vassal, but since he is the first vassal of my lord, he must be powerful"

"Does that mean he is currently not in your pack"

*growl*

"Yes"

'Good that mean we only have two enemies to deal with'

"One last question and it is important for you to answer correctly"

Apateon nodding weakly waited for my question.

"Why can you talk its extremely rare for a mana beast to develop the ability to speak better yet the human language also why can I sense negative mana from you"

'Even a world fill with magic still has rules. I have read many books since I reincarnated to have a better understanding of the black clover world especially the history of the kingdom and creatures.'

'There has only been a few creatures recorded to be able to talk to humans and shade wolves aren't one of them that mean Apateon, the rest of the vassals and the king are mutated wolves. What mutated them and what is the source of negative mana I am feeling from Apateon'
