Chapter 40 - Trapping the soul (1)

Sylia's hand trembled when she heard that loud voice. She did not dared to move even a slight a bit and had just frozen on the spot. With big steps Yama rushed towards her and grabbed her right arm while pulling her backwards towards him. Subconsciously Sylia lost her footing and was unable to balance herself in time. Her body was about to fell down on the ground when Yama slid his hands supporting her back.

"What were you trying to do?" Yama gritted his teeth and questioned in a stern voice.

Sylia remained silent and did not answer his question. Instead she lowered her head and gazed down at the ground. Yama glared at her and waited for her to answer his question only to receive silence in the end. He was losing his last bit of patience inside him and was just about to yell and ask, when all of a sudden she lifted her head and looked into his eyes. That small movement of staring into each other's eyes got Yama shocked and silent. All the words that were inside his mouth instantly gulped down into his stomach while he remained silent and did not even move.

Parting her lips she asked in a soft and low voice.

" Do you have allotted memories inside the brain as well... Kind of an installed system?" Sylia's question was quite vague which made the devil king in front frown. He looked at her with an expression which was very obvious to guess. He was probably thinking that something was wrong with her brain.

Shaking of his head he denied.

"No." On hearing his reply Sylia just answered with a small 'oh' and just nodded her head mildly. Recalling that he was here to question her about what she was doing earlier, his face again turned cold and while he asked her again.

"What were you trying to do here? Were you trying to do some kind of spell here?"

"..." Again getting no reply from her it made Yama infuriated. The devil king took a step forward and extended his hand to grab her arms, when his eyes darted on the spot where he had hurt her in the morning. The spot had turned blue and it looked like it must be very painful.

"There's a potion kept on the bedside table. Are you so blind to not notice it?" Yama's words were quite cold and sharp. Yet Sylia did not even spare a glance at him let alone listening to his words. She turned her back to face him while her eyes were fixed on the lock in front of her.

After a moment of silence, she spoke up.

"The black magic... About which you were talking about in the morning, it is kind of a soul which is revenging itself." Yama was not expecting such words from her and he was indeed a little bit surprised when he heard her talk about it. Yes as it has been investigated all these things had nothing to do with the black magic and was indeed the work of the head witch's soul which had probably been waiting to avenge. If the soul was not trapped at the correct time then nobody could even imagine how much devastation it was going to do. Nodding his head at her words, Yama said.

"Yes, you are right. This is indeed the work of the soul... Particularly the soul which had attacked you while you were resting inside the cave room. "

"Then this seems to be that she is doing all this because of me…" At the end of her sentence she let out a mocking laugh which was indeed like herself or more precisely like the Sylia whom he had seen last night. Regaining her composure back she lowered her head and said mildly.

"This lock... It can be used to trap the soul."

Yama widened his eyes in surprise. He never expected that this kind of thing could actually exist inside his cave room. He never thought that this locked room would probably be useful in trapping souls. If he could have known earlier than there might have been a number of souls trapped inside. And firstly he would have trapped Mythen's soul sold so that he could torture it later.

Even though the soul will leave the body when the organs inside it would stop working, no matter even if it has left the body it could still be trapped easily and could be tortured. Souls can't be touched, or souls can't be seen, all this hypothesis we are all part of the imaginary stories that human created. In the world where asuras, vampires, ancients, witches kind of creatures existed, then was it difficult to even touch and torture souls? Of course not.

"Do you know about this and how to do it?"
