Bound by a coiling dragon, Faye tried to struggle free but the dragon was as hard as rock. She had been dragged by the hair by the black clothe woman which Yassi had brought home and was positioned in a chair.

While in the chair, Herebia released the bindings of the black dragon but came after were countless threads that bound her wrist and her ankles. Herebia made it so that the [Chaos Threads] that bound Faye were so tightly put, that she wouldn’t be able to flick her fingers.

“Now then... where should we start? Oh I know!”

As Herebia pointed at the ceiling like she had discovered a good idea, Ycarus was slowly approaching them. His face was blank, almost emotionless, as he watched what was happening. Although they were married for a while now, Ycarus was not that emotionally attached to Faye.

She could cook, she could wash, and generally, she was a wife that was desired by all. Compared to Ycarus’s previous wife, Faye was much more virtuous. This was the case but Ycarus knew of everything that had been happening behind his back.

He knew that this wife of his was none other than a watcher sent by the Ignis King. He also knew that every month, Faye would be gone for a while and report to somewhere. Coincidentally, Herebia had arrived at this household during a day that Faye would report.

Even if she did all of this, why would Ycarus not protect her? That was because his daughter was the other choice. There was also something about the death of Ycarus’s previous wife and this matter involves Faye and her brother, the Ignis King.

Even if he wanted to rebel before, Ycarus knew that he wasn’t a match for the Ignis King. So, although he knew, he had pretended to not know in order to protect his life and his daughter’s.

“Y-you bitch! Untie me! Ycarus, what is the meaning of this!”

“Nothing much.”

Faye raged about and violently cursed Herebia. She had looked into the direction of Ycarus but when she saw his eyes, she knew that this guy wouldn’t help her.

“Damn it! Ycarus, you bastard, my brother wouldn’t let this matter go easily! DARN IT! F*CKING UNTIE ME!!!”

“Shut up or I’ll stuff a sword in your mouth!”

Herebia countered as she made hand seals. After a while, a black sword was already floating in front of Faye and was pointed at her mouth. When the sword appeared, Faye flinched slightly as she swallowed back her words. ‘T-this woman!!’

“Yeah, shut it for a moment. I’ll gift you something that I gave to Yassi earlier.”

Ycarus directed his gaze at Herebia as he was confused by what Herebia had said. Gift Faye with something that Yassi had received before? What was it?

Finishing her hand seals, Herebia pointed her index finger at Faye’s nose. Instantly, a black magic circle popped out of her finger and a snake-like black energy coiled it’s way toward’s Faye’s neck. After hugging the entirety of Faye’s neck, the black energy had slowly materialized into a black collar.

[Zera : Life]!!

Unlike the one that belonged to Yassi though, this black collar of Faye’s looked that of a dog’s collar. It was certainly beautiful but it was not elegant like Yassi’s black choker. Instead, it gave of the feeling that only a dog should wear something as fitting as this.

“Ha ha ha! Now you are literally a dog! Hey, hey, Ycarus! I give you permission to ask first.”

“What did you tell you’re brother this time?”

Not waiting for Herebia to encourage him further, Ycarus had fired the first salvo. Although he wanted to ask something much more important, he started by asking much more simpler. He just wanted to know what Faye had reported to the Ignis King.

“Why should I f*cking tell-“

Pah!

Landing a rather heavy slap, Herebia looked at Faye while signaling her not to speak bull sh*t. “Hey Faye, was it? Anyway, you should answer this guy. I could guarantee that if you pissed me off, I would activate your dog collar and a head will roll.”

“Yeah right you bitch! Like hell I would talk! You’re gonna be dead anyway if I we’re to die! To tell you a warning, I had reported that... you were present here today!”

Herebia raised her eyebrow and then chuckled. It looks like if she did kill this woman right now, the Ignis King would likely come knocking on their doors next month. Why next month? That would be the time when Faye’s next expected report would come.

If so, then the time that Herebia has would be only a month. If she did kill Faye, the Ignis King would come to investigate. If she didn’t kill her and made her write the report, who knew if she would rat out Herebia.

Although Herebia herself could write a fake report, this type of important matter could only be orally reported so Herebia didn’t really place her hopes high with a fake report. And so, this matter of kidnaping Faye had placed a timer for Herebia.

One month.

She needed to do everything in one month.

“Still not giving in? How about I plunge this sword inside you anus or something?! Wait...” Herebia paused for a moment and then her face brightened up. She flicked her hand summoning a black rod and waving it in front of Faye. “What about this sh*t? Let’s make it bigger!”

There, on Herebia’s hands, was a black rod made up of pure chaos particles. Although it was called a rod, it was actually a dildo. It would be described as a rod because rod’s are less obscene than dildo’s. That way, it would much less vulgar.

Ycarus looked weirdly at Herebia and then his face turned slightly red. “Um... Requa, what do you need that for? Don’t tell me your gonna..”

“What else am I gonna use this for?! I’ll plunge it into her she-hole of course!”

The black rod flew off from Herebia’s hand and then twisted in the air. She then flicked her hand a many small rod’s grew off from the black rod. The small rod’s once again disappeared with a flick and then appeared with another flick.

Remembering the spinning nut, Herebia grinned from ear to ear. Clapping her hands, the small rods that had grown from the original started to spin like a drill.

“A-are you sure that you would stuff that inside her?!”

“Ha ha ha! Of course! My drill, shall be the drill, that would pierce her anus!! Prepare you bitch! This bad boy will certainly rip open your stomach walls! Although that would hurt like f*ck, I wouldn’t allow you to easily die.”

Herebia then mused to herself while the black rod and it’s drills still floated in the air. She then raised one of her finger and then after a while raised another of her finger.

“If I were to do this, I guess you could last for a week or two. The drills would certainly not give you pleasure. It would give you intense pain. Well... things would be different if you’re a masochist though.”

“Graaagh!! Get that thing out! D-Do not even try... Do not even try to stuff me with that sh*t! I... my anus is still a virgin!”

After hearing the woman’s pleading, Herebia looked at Ycarus with a teasing smile. “You still haven’t tried anal? And you actually call yourselves married.”

Ycarus fidgeted a little and was actually embarrassed. “I-I am not into something like that...”

“A problem with fetishes, huh? Oh well, let’s get started. Dildo, go!!”

As Herebia commanded, the [Chaos Threads] that had been on Faye’s ankles protruded up ward and impaled through Faye’s seat. The two thing threads carved out a circle on the seat, and after that a circular piece of wood fell and a huge hole was present.

Faye was struggling fiercely as she watched the horrifying thing retract it’s drills and slowly float beneath her. Knowing that the drills would be unleashed once it was impaled through her, Faye panicked even more and her struggles grew.

“No!! No! Ugh... F*cker NO!! OKAY, OKAY! YOU WIN BITCH! YOU WIN!”

Herebia heard the thing she wanted to hear and her smile grew brighter. She then flicked her hand, which disintegrated the drilldo (Drill + Dildo). Satisfied with Faye’s answer and her discovery of a new spell, which Herebia named [Chaos Drilldo], Herebia sat down and gnawed on some nuts.

“Ycarus, go ahead and ask. If you feel that she is lying, call out my name and I will, without a second of a doubt, plunge the [Chaos Drilldo] into her lower lip and anus.”

“E-even on my lower lip!?”

Thinking of that thing ravaging her genital, Faye shivered just by the thought of it. ‘Does this mean that... even if I said the truth, if Ycarus here shouted, I would still be impaled? That’s ridiculous!’

Without ado, Ycarus seated himself in reverse, that means he could hug the chair’s back support, and positioned himself in front of Faye. Faye knew that they had been a previous wife-husband but she knew that this guy never had any feelings for her. Neither did she.

“So, Faye, answer my previous question. What did you tell you’re brother this time?”

“... I told him about your daily life. Who visited you, when, what you do, and where you go. He is also interested with Yassi’s progress and her skirmishes. Lastly, I also reported this woman, Requa, and her companion to my brother.”

“Why are you watching me?”

“Because of you’re daughter. I need to monitor this Half-Drazian daughter of yours. She is quite the fast learner. Although she could not compare to a full-blooded one, Yassi still holds the potential to become someone powerful.”

“... why was my wife killed during the war before?”

Herebia raised her eyebrow as the previous info dump appeared in her mind. ‘Yassi’s mother was killed three years ago and the war between Terra and Ignis stopped three years ago too. Hmm... If my guess is correct then, Ycarus’s info wasn’t that precise...’

Bringing a nut in her mouth, she watched the two of them stare at each other fora long time.

‘Rather than saying that the reason the war stopped was due to the Aero Kingdom’s interference... it could actually be due to the Aqua kingdom’s move... Or actually, now that I think about it, it should be both reasons...’

“B-because...”

“Why?”

“I-I do not know...”

“WHY!!”

“I SAID I DO NOT KNOW!”

Tap!

Ycarus, who was about to charge forth and punch Faye, was stopped by a tap on his shoulder. He looked back and saw that Herebia was holding him back. “Stop. She does not know. Bring her to a room and tie her up.”

“Wha- You are not gonna ask anything?”

Herebia exited the room while shaking her head. She yawned then she raised her hands, stretching her tired muscles. “Nope. I got every information I need for now. After tying her up, let’s call it a day.”

Herebia disappeared and was swallowed by the shadows of the hallway. With the [Chaos Threads] still binding Faye, Ycarus had carried her in a princess carry and brought her into a nearby room.

While Ycarus was busying himself by tying the Ignis Princess up, Herebia had walked forth and had already checked the rooms of Yassi and Hilroy. While both of them were sleeping, they were sleeping in different lengths. One was indefinite while one was guaranteed to wake up in the morning.

Reaching her own room, Herebia locked the door and planted [Chaos Bombs] on both of her door and windows. After feeling much more secure, the feeling of drowsiness overcame Herebia and she drifted into her sleep.

* * * * *

Light! Too much light!

Due to this excessive amount of light, Herebia had woken up. But she soon found herself inside a world of nothing but darkness. She was surrounded by an infinite amount of darkness, and even her feet was not touching anything but the darkness.

In front of her was the only source of light. It was a robed man who was only showing his mouth while.

“Yo what do you want with me now, Aven?”

Yup, the one in front of Herebia right now is the Sadist God of Light. Looking slightly annoyed, Herebia sat cross-legged within the darkness. She didn’t know if her body was flying or not but who cares anyway?

What Herebia was annoyed about was that the Sadist God of Light was back! And he was more sadistic and lighter than ever!

“Enjoying your new life? You’ve made lot’s of progress for someone having only descended for a day.”

“Not really. Because when I died and had ended in that resting place, I had felt that time was long and time was short. What I mean is, I didn’t feel that I have died for 1000 years.” Herebia stopped for a moment and then reminisce was evident in her eyes. “The only thing that would make me feel that way is the fact that most of those I knew previously, are currently all dead.”

“Ho... You have some interesting companions their. Star of misfortune, a half-drazian brat, and an Ignis General.”

“Oh, Aven I would like to ask you. What happened to Hilroy? Although everyone says that he is in a coma, how could that be possible? Creatures only experience coma when their souls leave them right?”

Aven pursed his lips then he flicked his hands. Motes of light materialized and they turned into tea cups which floated towards Yassi and Aven. “Hilroy? I was the one who knocked him up. Although unlike you guys, Humans could be knocked into a coma even without their souls leaving theri body. His soul is resting in the same place you rested. Do not worry, I did this so that he wouldn’t clash with Ycarus.”

Herebia was surprised and then she considered what would happen if Hilroy was wake during the time that Yassi and her reached Ycarus’s house. ‘It would certainly be a disaster...’

“I am kinda surprised though, Aven. You are an even more active god than what the rumors said.”

“Of course! Hilroy is a favorite of mine!”

Herebia’s face twitched slightly and she shook her head helplessly. She knew that Hilroy’s luck was abnormally sh*tty and know she knew why. It was because of Aven.

“So? Aven, what did you call me for?”

“To inform you that you could now use the power of 'Evictus'."

"Yeah, I have noticed that I am unable to use my 'Evictus' and 'Exodus'. It seems that you sealed them huh? Even so, this is only the first day Aven. Why give me something as powerful as 'Evictus'?"

"I didn't expect you to meet him right after descending but I had planned to reveal this to you anyway. I thought that sooner or later, he and you would most likely cross paths, but this was too premature! I'll give you a warning...”

Herebia jolted in surprise and then her eyes turned into a slit. Her face turned extremely serious as she didn’t even touch Aven’s teacup. She was in no mood to drink some tea.

Aven, on the other hand, was relaxed and brought the tea to his mouth. He enjoyed it for a while or so and then he looked straight into Herebia’s eyes.

“Beware of Oliver.”

“Wut?”

After saying his warning, Aven disappeared completely and Herebia was left in the darkness. Although she could not see anything, she could still feel that her body was rotating. Flashes of light made her able to see.

The light was actually lightning. The lightning came with a rain and the rain came with puddles. Herebia could not move nor talk. She could only hear and see. In her sight, greeting her was...

An armored figure. With a big-ass sword. This figure was drenched in rain and it looked extremely domineering. The figure seemingly looked at Herebia's direction and raised it’s sword...

‘Goddam it! Move! MOVE!’

SLasH!!!

* * * * *

“Graaagh!”

Herebia stood up from her sleeping position with her back drenched with cold sweat. She looked around and found out that she was in the room that she had slept in yesterday. The [Chaos Bombs] that were plastered on the door and the windows were still there.

Looking around, Herebia stood up and tidied her bed. After doing so, she had released the spell that was her black dress, making them turn to motes of light. Thus, Herebia was once again naked.

She formed another dress, which was also black albeit of a different design. She then looked at the window and found out that it was already morning. While she was looking at the sky through the window, Herebia’s thought is already wandering...

‘Is that... what was that dream? Was that... no... can’t be... That's impossible...’
