Lahat ng Kabanata ng Emperor Shadow: Kabanata 561 - Kabanata 570

“Damn, I’ve been caught. This hurts like a bitch, tell ya!”No matter how many times she did it, she would never get used to this prickling sensation. She felt like her skin was torn apart, shredded, and dissolved into nothingness. She felt the bones crushing under the pressure as the toxins clamped her entire arm.“I can’t get used to this. Not at all.” Her resistance training was a sham. The pain was still there. Her pain receptors were still pretty much kicking, disregarding her true feelings.“Abah would kick a bucket if he knew about this. He probably rolled inside his grave, though. The Potential Lab Rat he picked himself is having a hard time in the easy mode. What a life, huh?” She gritted her teeth.‘Fuck! Hurry up!’Her body was still identifying all the toxins in the river. Her own poison in the blood dispelled all the unwanted toxins after scrutinizing it. “What are you doing, darling?”“Examining the toxins inside the river.”“There’s gotta be some other ways to do it,

“... okay, now!”After agonizing for a long time, Shadow finally had given her response. The timing seemed perfect. It had been 30 minutes. By now, they had already finished their given tasks.Shadow was confident about that.In the air, Nathan looked around him. Even if he didn’t know the size of the affected area, he still trusted Shadow. With an inaudible muttering, he recited the spell.Shing! The papers hardened. Briefly shook. Swiftly, the circles on the paper brightened. The blue-ish emerged from the papers. The color became clearer before it pointed to the sky and bent slightly and rushed at Nathan.One, two, three, and other blueish colors rushed toward Nathan. The papers hardened and responded to the reciting spell. The colors surrounded Nathan. Nathan moved his finger slightly and steered the colors on his whim.The saturated blue slowly expanded as the color thinner before creating a massive semi-burble, covering the whole affected stream. Including the factories around

“Uggh!”A wince escaped her lips.“What the…”She woke up. Her body was throbbing, screaming for help.“Hisss…” She winced when she lifted her right arm. “Where am I…”She flinched. Her mouth felt heavy and her throat felt like it was blocked by the enormous rock. Her eyes roamed everything around her. The place she was sitting looked… familiar.“What the!!!” A realization dawned on her. “This is…”She was inside the classroom-size space. The white wall, the grey ceiling, and the cement floor. Every area was covered with red spots. Everywhere. Anywhere. “This is…”She raised her bruised hand, inspecting it. It was so painful but still manageable. Not only her hands were covered with bruises, but also covered with a long cut, and a few needles stabbed. “Am I… back?” She still couldn’t understand it. She wasn’t alone in this space. From the very beginning, she felt the hot stare at her back. Again, she chose to ignore it. Her eyes fell to the ground.The pool of fresh blood covered f

“Should we really interrogate them?” Ibrahim wasn’t sure about it. Ali and Nathan eagerly nodded their heads, sharing a similar thought. As if their single brain cell was rotating among them. “Why not?” Her voice resonated inside the narrow path. They were already halfway inside the dungeon path. On the way to the torture cell where a few of them were held in. All of them were reluctant to insert themselves in this kind of situation. It would be fine if Shadow excluded this small expenditure. As the lords of their own kingdoms, they knew how sensitive the torture dungeon was to them. Each torture dungeon was designed for their own personal taste, including the conduction of the torture. Therefore, by exposing the elves' method, they stripped the elves bare. Shadow made it happen. If possible, they didn’t want to dive much into this unknown territory afraid it might backfire on them. And they were talking as the lords of the kingdoms. Their lives were so precious. Ali peered at

“Good grief.” She shook her head, sighing annoyingly. The glint of her red eyes changed and sparkled beautifully. “Oh well… who we got here…”The exhausted traitor sitting in the electric chair slowly lifted his head.The room was full of torture room and had already been covered with blood. The environment was so dark, befitting her malicious intent. “You… The Holiness…” The pointed ears perked up upon seeing her covered face.Wordlessly, she dragged the empty chair and sat right in front of him. Placed her knuckle under her chin, toppled her legs, and tilted her head.The elf tilted his head, his bloodshot eyes studying Shadow outright. His nose pointed at Shadow. “We– weird…” He slurred. The blood escaped his mouth. “I can tell you are The Unknown’s dog.”Shadow arched her brow, amused.‘So, it’s true. They can tell who is who merely smelled them. Weird… why does she not even distinguish the traitor that way?’“But, why do you smell… like that…?” Shadow waited for him to continue
