Chapter 136 Two of the six

"Ahhhh pleasee have mercy huff... huff." An ugly scream went through the air as the thugs' leader was being questioned for information. Questioning was a broad term because while Louise did ask questions, she didn't let him answer. "Astral magic – agony weave"

Louise took the spot over from Clara after she tortured the man for ten minutes. While she only used ten minutes, those ten minutes weren't nothing. The man had red eyes due to the pain, and his voice was hoarse due to all the screaming he did.

Another spell formed in Louise's hand, and the leader began to scream in agony again. Louise lived with three goddesses for a long time, and because of the connection between her and their master, she was naturally treated differently than other maids. She began to learn magic under all of them, and she excelled the most in astral magic, which she learned from Freya.

As a goddess of magic, Freya has a lot of different magic under her belt, so Louise has been through almost everything Freya knew that she could withstand at her level. She was also taught various things under Tyche and Aphrodite, but less because her interest lies in magic.

The spell she cast involved injecting the nerves of her chosen target with astral energy when he didn't answer or gave an unsatisfactory answer. It was perfect for interrogation because it left marks on the body when the target lied, so it was also a lie detector.

"Tell me. What was your plan once you had us? Did you already succeed in kidnapping other women?" Louise's voice was steady, and there was no hint of hesitation about her actions. A gulping sound went through the room as the thug heard that question. While he wanted to save himself from the pain, he knew that he couldn't escape.

And even if he stayed silent, he would receive pain that he had never felt before. "We planned to make you guys our slaves." An answer that satisfied Louise finally came out of his mouth. "Oh, and what did you guys want to do after?" An interested expression came on Louise's face.

"W.. We would have made you into sex-depraved creatures and sold you off to the highest bidder." Fear was overwhelming in his voice, but the people who heard it felt no compassion. "And did you kidnap any other women before us?"

"N.. no, we didn't. You were our first target." Louise nodded again and began to think. She looked back at the other women in the room and nodded while they nodded back. "Are you letting me go?" A final feeling of hope went through the man's body as he felt he had cooperated well enough.

"What are you talking about? How would you compensate me when you looked at me with that disgusting gaze with those vile eyes of yours? Only the master is allowed to gaze at my body and nobody else." Louise, who had turned back to the man, had a scary aura around her.

Even the strong Clara felt like she couldn't mess with Louise now. The man who was the target of the pressure Louise was releasing was filled with dread. He looked up at the woman and saw her eyes growing red and having a dangerous glint. He felt another shiver going down his body as he felt the cool metal of a knife that was right by his cheek.

"Let me put you out of your misery." Another spell was being formed in Louise's hand. The man was screaming and trying to escape again. He even ignored the rope getting tighter and tighter the more he moved. But it was all for nothing. The spell that Louise made fired at him, and with one last scream, he closed his eyes forever.

"Let's go. It seems like he was telling the truth." The man's body was already disappearing, and after a second, the room was back to normal like nothing happened.

….

In a faraway part of the universe that isn't used much, three women appeared. One was wearing a sporty outfit, while the other was in a dress with the beauty of a goddess. The last one had puffy eyes, thanks to all the crying she had done. "Welcome to my haven where I train my people."

They were standing on one of the planets flying around here, but while there wasn't much life in this corner of the universe, it wasn't unlivable—or better said, someone made it livable. Jasmine was looking around the new planet she was on. While she couldn't see much, she saw that the place she was standing was built to be a training ground.

There were no skyscrapers with class as high as the sky. Only one structure stood before us. It looked like a colosseum, and it was as big as a castle in height. Around them lived only natural plant life. There was a lot of nature, but you could also see that there were animals that lived there.

Sylvana began walking towards the Colosseum, and Jasmine followed immediately behind. Ella hesitated a bit, but with one glance of Sylvana, she quickly followed behind them. When they entered, they came to a passage that led to the middle of the arena. Sylvana kept walking towards the opening, so we followed close behind her.

I was excited as we walked through the passage. I wanted to get stronger, and my chance to use this power and get it under control was finally here. I was curious about what I would find in this big clearing.

When the entrance came into sight, we walked through it. In the middle of the arena, we saw two women fighting. One woman had white hair. She was flying around with white wings on her back. She had magic circles on her hands, and she was raining down thunder on the person who was chasing her.

The person on the ground chasing had beautiful black hair that shined even in the sun. Her red eyes were dangerously locked onto her opponent. With a sword in hand, she sliced through the air as she tried to cut down the flying person. "Fufu, you can only win if you can hit your opponent, stupid demon."

The white hair lady had her hand on her mouth as she mocked the demon chasing her. Her words hit a nerve with the demon as you could see a vein on the point of popping on her forehead. "What did you say, pigeon?" She attacked with more power than before.

They both insulted each other a lot, and the lady with white hair also began attacking them. While I knew that a lot more was happening with the speed they were going, I couldn't catch all that was happening. I looked back up to Sylvana, and she had a bored expression.

She looked at the fight before her as if she knew who would win. "Who is going to win?" I couldn't resist the urge to ask. Sylvana looked down at me and smiled at me. "Well, that is a difficult question to answer, isn't it?" She answered my question with a question on her own.

"Yes, that's right. I can't even see them clearly with their speed."

"That is something that you don't have to worry about. When you are done training here, you are going to be able to see this fight clearly and know who the winner is." After saying that, she turned her attention towards the fight and stepped forward. After two steps, she clapped her hands two times, and a loud shockwave came from it.

I covered my ears because of the loud noise, and the two women in the arena finally stopped fighting and looked toward her. The demon lady quickly knelt while facing Sylvana. The white-haired lady landed on the ground and gave Sylvana a bow. "Welcome back, master!" They both yelled at the same time.

Sylvana nodded and looked back at us. "Let me introduce you to my new disciple and the new bearer of my blessing." She used her power to make me appear beside her. The two women gave me curious glances as Sylvana introduced me. I bowed towards the two and introduced myself again.

"My name is Jasmine. It is a pleasure to meet you. I will be in your care from now on."

"I also brought back a familiar face. She has been a bit too comfortable around me as of late. So, I brought her back for some training." The two women were shocked to see the pouting Ella appearing behind Sylvana.

"It has been a long time, hasn't it, Seraphina Arzyna." Ella waved at the two ladies. The two women began to laugh at the sight of Ella. Ella began to pout even harder. Sylvana looked between the three and let out a chuckle. Ella walked up to the two ladies and hugged them.

"It has been too long since I last saw you two."
