Deng deng deng… Tenraku walked into the great hall of Saints and Demons where the female magicians were being held captive. *Translation note: the characters in the original text are distorted, possibly to avoid censorship.*
"Ah!!! Ah!!!"
"Katerea, please let me go. I'll do anything you ask."
"Ah!!!!!!"
The hall was filled with the sounds of painful screams as several female magicians suppressed another female magician, while Katerea coldly placed her hand on the latter's forehead, using some sort of magic.
Seeing the scene inside, Tenraku couldn't help but chuckle.
This Katerea, she's quite something!
When Tenraku had Raynare and the others train Katerea, they only used whips and other tools to torture her body and mind, gradually corrupting and breaking her. Tenraku thought that was evil enough, but this woman was even worse, using magic to forcefully brainwash these female magicians!
This brainwashing magic was no joke. Even in the Underworld, it was considered a forbidden magic, causing the victim to experience unbearable pain and agony, and was extremely cruel and evil.
Moreover, if the victim's willpower was strong enough to resist, the magic would burn their brain, turning them into a mindless shell!
Of course, once the brainwashing succeeded, the victim would become a completely loyal slave to their master. That's why even though it was considered forbidden magic, many people still used it in secret.
Tenraku couldn't help but sigh. These female magicians were Katerea's subordinates, who followed and served her. She was really ruthless to be able to do this.
This cold-blooded and ruthless woman!
But in truth, Tenraku quite liked this kind of bad woman!
"Ah!!!"
Another scream echoed through the hall as the female magician's eyes rolled back and she collapsed to the ground, convulsing in unbearable pain. Katerea nodded in satisfaction.
There was no need to ask, she had successfully brainwashed another female magician. These magicians were already Katerea's subordinates and had no rebellious thoughts toward her, so it was normal for her to be successful. At least so far, she had never failed!
"Master."
Katerea and the group of brainwashed female magicians noticed Tenraku standing to the side and quickly walked over, bowing and saluting.
"Katerea, you really are a heartless woman, treating your former subordinates like this."
Tenraku smiled as he stroked Katerea's enchanting and seductive face.
"It is an honor for them to become tools and slaves of their master. I am only guiding them towards the right path."
Katerea said with a self-righteous expression on her face and then she added:
"Master, do you want to test their loyalty? As long as it is your command, they can do anything."
A hint of curiosity flashed in Tenraku's eyes at the suggestion.
"Anything? Can they die for me?"
"Yes, master."
With an evil and expectant smile on his face, Tenraku held the chin of a nearby female magician.
Looking at Tenraku with only endless fanaticism in her eyes, the female magician did not hesitate and was prepared to cast a magic spell towards her own head.
Tenraku, satisfied with her loyalty, of course, did not let her really die. Before the female magician was about to end herself, Tenraku stopped her.
"Not bad, I have felt your loyalty. From now on, you will be my tool and serve me. Work hard and live on."
Extremely satisfied, Tenraku stroked the beautiful face of the female magician.
"Yes, master…"
Distorted and crazed, the female magician looked at Tenraku with even more fanatical obsession…
"Katerea, is it you who brought Diodora into the Khaos Brigade and gave him the power of Ophis?"
Thinking about the main topic, Tenraku asked.
"Yes, master."
Although Katerea did not understand why Tenraku suddenly asked about this, she still truthfully replied.
"Tell me everything about your dealings with him."
Following Tenraku's command, Katerea did not dare to hold anything back and told the whole story of how she contacted and lured Diodora into the Khaos Brigade.
"Although I also granted him a fraction of the power of the Great Ophis, he was just a foolish man blinded by revenge and played around in the palm of my hand."
In the end, Katerea couldn't help but sneer and ridicule Diodora.
Katerea was well aware of the grudge between Diodora and Tenraku, but in her eyes, that fool was nothing more than a ridiculous clown in front of her master, not even worthy of a single hair of her master's.
"Diodora is indeed a foolish idiot, but because you gave him Ophis's power, he came back to seek revenge on me and even injured my friend," Tenraku said calmly with an expressionless face.
Although Katerea had not recognized Tenraku as her master when she did those things, strictly speaking, she did nothing wrong. But since she brought trouble to her master, even if there was no fault, there had to be a fault!
Katerea's expression changed as she heard this. "Katerea knows she was wrong. As long as my master allows it, I will go and eliminate him now!"
Kneeling down on one knee, Katerea's eyes flickered with sharp coldness.
Although Tenraku had not yet recognized her as his master at the time of her actions, strictly speaking, she had not done anything wrong. But since she had caused trouble for her master, she felt that she had to take responsibility for her actions.
A smile appeared on Tenraku's face as he found himself liking this clever and ruthless woman more and more.
"I will handle Diodora's matter myself, so you don't need to take any action," he said. "However, you did make a mistake, and you should be punished for it."
"Katerea, tell me, how should I punish you?"
Looking down at Katerea, Tenraku asked with a smirk on his face.
Katerea was momentarily speechless, wondering how she could know how her evil master wanted to punish her. But as she looked into Tenraku's eyes, she instantly understood his intentions.
Blushing, Katerea fell to the ground in a kneeling position.
"Master, please punish me as you see fit."
Covering his forehead, Tenraku couldn't help but sigh deeply——
"This damn demoness!" Tenraku cursed inwardly.
Without saying much, he licked his lips and began his punishment…
The scene of his corrupt and evil deeds continued for a long time until Tenraku was satisfied and left the Saints and Demons Hall.
Katerea, who was exhausted and unable to move, collapsed on the ground, gasping for air. It was only with the help of two female magicians that she managed to stand up again.
"This is the grace of the master. As long as you serve the master well in the future, you will also have a chance," Katerea said, wiping away the traces of the punishment with magic and pushing her glasses up with pride, scanning the female magicians with a haughty look.
Her face was slightly red, but the eyes of the female magicians were filled with anticipation.
"Continue, turn them into the master's tools as well," Katerea said coldly, her gaze falling on the female magicians who were still bound by chains and had not yet been brainwashed.
"Yes, Lady Katerea," the twisted and evil devils responded as they approached the terrified female magicians.
