Xasha had a serious expression as he absorbed all their advice. If beings this powerful could be wiped out, who was he to be arrogant?
"By the way, Ash," Xandria changed the topic. "Aren't you going to claim your prize before someone else does?"
"What prize?" Xasha voiced his confusion. Everyone else also looked at Xan, wondering to what she was referring.
"You defeated the leaders of three territories. You may claim all their territory and resource as your own," Xandria informed ecstatically.
"Oh yes, that is true. Whenever to take down the owner of a territory, all the spoils are yours to keep. But if you take too long, you really will be out of luck. If someone takes them before you, there will be another enemy to face. That's if they don't run away with your bounty." Mylyn added.
"Oh, such a thing existed, but I can't just charge over. I don't even know where their territories are or the situation within them," Xasha complained.
"About that," three giant men tied up in metal wires appeared as he spoke, which she pinned on the ground. "We may get some information from these two. Especially about Eloise and the others," Ari said casually.
"Why didn't you all interrogate them beforehand? I completely forgot about these two." Xasha looked at Ari and Alexi.
"We know nothing about interrogation techniques. We were waiting for aunt Verra to show up," Ari quickly defended herself.
Xasha sighed, "that will take days. We don't have days. I will torture them myself." Xasha's anger flared up.
He marched over, grabbed one of the three men by his foot, and dragged him across to the ground to a side room. "Lock those other two up. I will torture them too, see how their stories coordinate." he left behind those instructions slammed the door shut behind him.
He made a chair from compressed Imperium and placed the man in it. The force from the solidified here tied him in place, and the metal wired got removed. He sent a powerful slap to the man's face to wake him up.
The man jumped up, panting and struggling. He spotted Xasha, and his eyes calmed down a bit. Xasha knew he wanted to attack him using vlast. The man screamed as two large wind needles pierced through both his shoulders.
Xasha was calm and emotionless as he continually stabbed through the man. Always sure to miss his vital organs, not saying a word. Every time the man tried to attack him using vlast, he wound find a needle piercing his body.
"Alright, alright... stop. Who are you? What do you want? Do you know who I am? Do you know to what power I belong? If you kill me, you and everyone you love will die slow and painful deaths," the man barked out through gritted, blood-covered teeth.
"Oh, well, thank you for the advice. I don't know who you are or to what power you belong. That is what I aim to find out but before that. The little girl you were chasing, where are the others she was with?" Xasha's face was dreadful, and the man immediately felt his killing intent.
"They are alive, for now. Those strange ones, something was off about their aura, and they used strange weapons and vlast to fight. We captured them and were taking them back to Ulock when they rebelled and allowed that one to escape," the man said.
"And where is the rest of them now?" Xasha asked patiently.
"We had set up camp in triage, I'm sure they are still there."
"Will you take me to your camp?"
"No," the man refused flatly. "You will simply have to kill me."
Xasha's brows shot up. "Oh, is that loyalty? I wonder if your two brothers are just as loyal," he said with a chuckle.
"Where are my brothers? You better not have touched them or I will kill you," the man screamed and struggled until Xasha sent several needles through his gut. He bellowed in pain and calmed down.
"Well, I'm afraid it's too late for that. I've already cut up one of your brothers quite well. It was well done if I said so myself. I cut off several pieces and set it to my pet Fantasma. He had quite a lot to say after that. His loyalty did not hold up that long in the face of his manhood being eaten by a Ma Dog," Xasha teased.
"You see. You are here to confirm what your brother has told us. And based on what you have said, it is either you all have some protocol whenever you get captured or he was telling the truth."
"You're lying. My brother would never betray our Mu people." The man screamed in disbelief.
"Mu people, another thing your brother was not lying about. I have an idea though, since your brotherly love is so strong. I wonder how much you will not be willing to say if I should say, cut up your third brother while you watch," Xasha said playfully.
"You wouldn't dare," the man screamed angrily.
"We'll see," Xasha retorted casually.
