The Dark Rebirth of Pandora: Revenge of the Abyss-Chapter 269: Change of Plan

Serena takes us to her room and goes to a safe to get something while me and Amiya sit in a chair to wait, and after 3 minutes she came back with a small safe.

"Here it is, there’s some information about the church and the Pope, of course these are copies the originals will stay with the black market, I hope you understand," Serena says, making it obvious she won’t be selling just to me.

"That’s fine." It’s good that it’s that way, I can take it home and read it at my convenience.

"I have the gold, but delivering it all now might be tricky, where do you want me to drop it off?" There’s no way I can just transport tons of gold so easily through my shadow.

"I understand, that’s a lot of gold. You can drop it off at this address here," Serena says, handing me a piece of paper. I grab another paper from the desk with a pen and write a note sending it to Veritus, the two notes for him to handle this.

It was thrown into my shadow and sent to his office, so he’ll deal with it. Based on what I see, Serena doesn’t want to talk much since she’s only calling for the transaction.

"Anything specific you want to chat about with me?" Serena asks, noticing me staring at her a lot.

"No... I’m just memorizing your face."

"...H-Haha, I see, so how about you go play with your new slaves?" She says a bit nervously, understanding the threat if the information isn’t true, I’ll hunt her down, and she knows it.

"Could be, let’s go Amiya," I say getting up from the chair. Serena doesn’t interest me much since she’s just the leader of the human black market, and at some point I’ll devastate these kingdoms.

Serena starts guiding us to the torture room while Amiya seems increasingly agitated, she looks really nervous, but I just want to finish this and get ready, I can’t wait to fight Mikael.

"Your two slaves are here, do as you please, but please clear the room as soon as possible, you have permission to use it for 48 hours, and you can leave the dirty tools they’ll be replaced afterwards," Serena says as she approaches me, handing me a cigarette.

"Smoking is good, helps with stress, you seem stressed, Miss Dragon Mask," she says ironically as she leaves. I throw the cigarette on the ground and crush it.

"Okay Amiya, now it’s just the two of us. If your system reports anything, let me know." One of the biggest curiosities is whether she’ll have a new uniform and if her corruption will increase.

"O-Okay..." The two of us enter the room, finding the two dragon girls tied up, gagged and chained, they’re also blindfolded.

"Amiya, take the gag and blindfold off the older one." I sit in a chair, crossing my legs.

Soon Amiya goes to the girl, removing her blindfold and gag. The girl looks at her younger sister who is also restrained.

"P-Please..."

"Quiet." The girl was about to beg, and I know well that she would beg for her younger sister’s life.

"Girl, how about I make you a proposal? I’m a somewhat benevolent person, I don’t enjoy torturing children." They’re not entertaining, they’re predictable and die easily, and they have nothing to do with me.

So a more interesting proposal comes to my mind, I feel like I’m becoming more sadistic, which is not a problem, it gives me creative ideas.

"W-What is it?"

"Your sister must grant Amiya full ownership of her, not just a slave seal, but swear in the name of the primordial goddess herself to always serve Amiya, even if she doesn’t want to."

"In return... I won’t kill her, but we’ll torture you." I think I want to test the older one, she seems tastier and her scent also reminds me of Zephyra in some ways.

And obviously I won’t hurt Zephyra, so a small substitution is not bad at all.

"I-I’ll do anything to protect my sister," the older one says while the younger one struggles, crying as the restraints jingle.

"Hmm... is that so?" I swore she wouldn’t be so determined, I thought she would cry or beg for more.

"Heh, that’s good. Amiya, get what you think is the most fun in the room." I say while deciding to talk to the girl while Amiya tries to think about what to choose.

"I believe you fled your tribe with your little sister to avoid following the traditions, right?"

"Y-Yes, my sister and I didn’t want to just serve to have children... it’s not fair, we had no rights."

"Yes, that’s terrible, very terrible indeed." This reminds me of something, yes I’m sure this situation is very similar to something.

"And would you kill your tribe for your sister?" I ask curiously.

"Yes!" She replies without hesitation, even though she’s scared.

I get up and go to the younger girl, removing her blindfold and gag, looking at her face full of tears.

"Girl, I’m going to make you a proposal, would you accept dying for your sister to be saved?" I say while the other girl struggles, screaming at me, but I ignore her. The younger girl nods her head.

"You know, I respect that, family is important. I like how you protect each other. I’ll make the best proposal my sadistic mind can come up with."

"I won’t kill either of you, but I’ll still torture the older one. So my proposal is simple I won’t do anything to the younger one, but I’ll torture the older one, and if she doesn’t scream or give up, I’ll let her go alive. She just has to endure enough."

"Of course, the younger one shouldn’t scream or beg while the older one, although she’ll come out alive, will have to help with her loyalty to Amiya and also obey me if the need arises."

"I’m quite benevolent, don’t you think?" I say ironically, but I really respect the family love between them, and a good idea came up for them to still be alive.

"..." The two remain silent, but soon accept.

"Stay quiet, okay? You don’t want to disappoint your big sister, right?" I say to the younger girl, who nods her head, crying.

I go to Amiya, who is taking a while, and hug her from behind, taking her hand and choosing a large nail with a hammer.

"Amiya, be quicker." I guide her to the older girl.

"Amiya, you don’t want to kill her, right? Just torture her well so she doesn’t bleed to death, and they’ll still serve you as two slaves."

"S-Sure, I-I’ll do my best!" Amiya says, truly believing in it. I’m willing to let the girls live, but I paid a lot and I’ll want to try something with them at least once.

Amiya hammers the part of the hand near the wrist, breaking the bones of the dragon girl, who holds back a scream, knowing I’ll kill her if she screams. Amiya’s hands tremble as I hold them.

"P-Pandora, the corruption increased by 1%," Amiya says, scared by the blood flowing.

’So this also works.’

"Amiya, if you press the side of the nail, it opens like a blade and will cut off the girl’s hand. Can you do that?" I ask, gently moving her hand to the side of the nail.

"I-I don’t want to."

"Seriously? Look how the two sisters are straining to endure the pain and torment. If you don’t do your part, I’ll kill them both. I’ve been very generous in giving them a chance to get out alive."

I was going to kill them both, but since I like their love for each other, I decided to give them a minimal chance and use them in the future.

If I need to negotiate with the dragons, I can use the two of them, so I’m leaving them a chance to get out alive just because I can use them later.

"Hey, girl, you agree to have your hand cut off, right?" I ask, and the girl, crying in pain but silent, nods her head. It’s really adorable to see what the love of siblings can do. freёnovelkiss.com

"Your turn, Amiya." I want this girl’s hand to experiment with, but since I’m going to keep them alive, I’ll just store the hand in my shadow and eat it later, as having all 3 of them see the scene wouldn’t be good.

Amiya presses the side of the nail, completely severing the girl’s hand. Since she’s a dragon, she won’t die just from the bleeding, while Amiya starts using another tool from the chair.

While I quickly grab the hand and store it in my shadow, I have high expectations for the taste.

"Okay, time for the next one. The one you just got is a set of needles, just pierce her arm in different areas with each of the 29 needles."

"W-Why do you know so much about torture?"

"Studied." This is the true answer. Amiya starts sticking the needles into the girl, who lets out small moans of pain. The younger sister cries, seeing the older one’s pain, but remains silent.

"Pandora, why are you so mean?" Amiya asks with a bit of courage.

"Mean? It may seem unworthy of what I’m doing, but you wouldn’t understand even if I explained." I’m hungry, irritated, and worst of all, I know dragons hate me. Torturing them is the least I can do, I want to devour them.

I just decided that keeping them alive could have a future use, so I gave them a chance to get out alive. In fact, I’m not evil, I’m just someone who acts as I should.

I’m a monster, no one judges a lion for killing a zebra to eat, so I who am a monster am just acting as such. Even animals play with their prey, so it’s natural for me to play with mine.

"Besides, I’m giving you two slaves as a gift. They swore in the name of the primordial goddess to serve you, and you’re complaining? Do you want to be in their place and be tortured so they can get out without problems?"

"N-No..."

"Then be quiet and continue. From now on, I’ll just watch, but I won’t guide you. Be useful and do a good job, Amiya. The torture will last 2 hours, I’ll be counting." I give the order as I go to the chair to watch the scene.
