The sound of dripping water was exceptionally clear in the deathly silent space.

The dimly lit room was filled with a damp, rotten smell. Occasionally, a few creatures, whether lizards or insects, would flash by, making rustling sounds that sent chills down one's spine.

In the very center of the room stood a solitary chair, upon which sat a man whose limbs were tightly bound to the chair with chains, leaving him with virtually no room to move except around his neck.

The man had clearly undergone a very thorough body search; his upper body clothing had been stripped off, revealing well-defined, strong eight-pack abs that were slowly and evenly undulating, indicating that the man was still breathing and had not died.

At that moment, the door to the room opened, and a blonde woman and a red-haired woman walked in side by side.

The dim light obscured their faces, only making them appear even more sinister and terrifying.

"Lucy Ashura, I can handle this. I don't need your help at all," the red-haired woman said coldly, without the slightest emotion.

"Hmph! Don't underestimate me, I'm very good at interrogation!" the blonde woman retorted loudly, completely lacking in class.

The red-haired woman remained silent for a long while, then shook her head helplessly. "Sigh, whatever, do as you please."

She then turned around, grabbed a bucket of ice water that had been sitting in the corner for who knows how long, and poured it mercilessly over the man.

"Hiss cough cough cough"

The sudden bucket of ice water made Eleven was in a coma, gasp and inhale the water directly into his lungs. Accompanied by a violent cough, he was fully awakened from his dazed state.

Opening his still somewhat blurry eyes, he subconsciously tried to survey his surroundings, but the first thing he saw was Edolas Erza's cold, aloof face, which looked especially sinister and terrifying in the dim light.

"Forehead"

Seeing that face, Eleven felt a burning pain in his own face and skull. This woman really didn't know how to hold back at all; if it were an ordinary person, their head would have been blown to bits, right?

Wait a minute! Does this mean this woman never intended to leave anyone alive? I survived entirely on my own merits?

Holy crap! Erza in this world is terrifying!

Thinking of this, Eleven quickly shut his mouth, afraid that the crazy woman in front of him wouldn't like to listen to him and would hit him again.

While Eleven was still in a daze, Edolas Erza suddenly raised their spears without warning, the tip of which was firmly pressed against Eleven's throat. She seemed to be hesitating whether to stab him to death with one blow. She didn't say anything, just stared fiercely at Eleven, not knowing what she was thinking.

Edolas Erza remained silent, and Eleven was at a loss for words. They simply stood there, being looked down upon by Edolas Erza.

This angle really annoyed Eleven. Wasn't Erza being a bit too arrogant?

However, just as Eleven's spirit of resistance began to rise, he felt a cool touch lightly brush against his Adam's apple. Stealing a glance down at the chilling tip of the gun, Eleven decisively chose to cooperate; after all, they weren't mortal enemies!

The two remained silent for about half a minute. Lucy, the blonde woman, could no longer contain herself. She rushed forward, pushed Edolas Erza aside with her buttocks, grabbed the chain around Eleven's chest, and lifted Eleven, chair and all, up.

A pretty face, still somewhat childish, contorted into a fierce expression and pressed its head against Eleven's forehead, roaring menacingly.

"You damned king, stop playing dumb with me! Tell me, why do you have Lisanna's transmitter on you? Where did you put Lisanna?"

Eleven was startled by the sudden appearance of the female thug. His two feet, which were tied to the chair legs, kicked nervously in mid-air, but he couldn't reach the ground at all.

Wow! This girl looks pretty, but she's incredibly strong! She's almost as strong as Mira, isn't she?

The thought had barely crossed his mind, and before he could even utter a word, Eleven's body was once again lifted a considerable height, directly above Edo Lucy's head.

"Take this, you bastard king! The fifth of the 48 torture techniques –the Super Devil Muscleman!"

With a loud shout from Edo Lucy, Eleven felt a dizzying sensation and suddenly found himself upside down. The next second, his fragile human neck slammed solidly into Edo Lucy's strong shoulder.

The wooden chair beneath him shattered inch by inch under that bizarre force. Eleven was carried on Edo Lucy's shoulder, his limbs forcibly pried open in a shameful manner that no human could possibly accomplish on their own.

"Ouch! It hurts! It's going to break! It's going to break!! Are you a gorilla? How can you be so strong? Ouch, it hurts!"

Ignoring Eleven's cries of agony, Edo Lucy instead tightened her grip, leering as she demanded, "Tell me now, where is Lisanna? Otherwise... hehehe."

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! I... I don't know where she is! But she's with my friends, so she should be safe."

"What? You have accomplices? Tell me where they are?!"

"Are you brainless, you super-strong gorilla woman? I already said I don't know!"

"Take this! The Superlative Bridge Neck and Back Lock!"

"Oh no, I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!!"

Eleven had considered resisting, but he had just been chased by the King, and his remaining Spiritual Power was already quite low. In addition, Edolas Erza were watching him menacingly with their spears, making him hesitant to act rashly. It was better to save his remaining Spiritual Power for survival, since Erza looked more terrifying and might shoot him right in the heart at any moment.

At this moment, Eleven truly understood what it meant to be a tiger fallen into the plains and bullied by dogs.

To think that he, the mighty Fairy Demon King —the guild's strongest candidate—the renowned Archmage Fiore —the dream lover of countless girls— Eleven Brain, could be bullied like this by a blond girl... oh no, a blond female gorilla, simply because he was stranded in another world and lost his magic. This is truly outrageous.

"It hurts, please be gentle, please!"

At the same time.

Outside the secret room, a rather effeminate-looking Elfman was crouching in a corner, trembling with fear. The pig-like screams that occasionally emanated from inside the room made him unconsciously think of some horrific and bloody scenes, and he felt terrified!

"Sigh, I told you before that Lucy and Erza couldn't go in together. Someone's going to die, right? They'll definitely die."

Elfman, the effeminate man, crouched in the corner, trembling, biting his nails, and muttering to himself. The kind-hearted man was genuinely afraid that Eleven would be played to death by those two women.

More importantly, he didn't want to open the door and see a scene of blood and severed limbs everywhere; that would be too horrible!

Why did they have to put him in charge of this guard duty? Troy and Jet, two strong individuals, are more than enough!

Ugh... Sister, this place is so scary!

Just as the effeminate Elfman was squatting in the corner lost in thought, a large foot slammed into the wall next to him. Looking up, he saw a seemingly capable and strong Troy using his foot to pin the effeminate Elfman against the wall.

"Hey! Elfman, how long are you going to keep acting so timid? Lisanna went missing because she took your place on a dangerous mission! Don't you feel ashamed as a man?"

Despite his seemingly strong demeanor, Troy could be incredibly sharp-tongued when he started cursing. The effeminate Elfman burst into tears after being insulted by him, and the sight of him crying infuriated Edo Troy, who wanted nothing more than to kick him a few times to vent his anger.

"Alright, Troy, don't go too far. Lisanna's accident can't be entirely blamed on Elfman."

Just then, another figure emerged from the shadows on the other side. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a very strong and capable-looking Jet, who stopped Troy from scolding the effeminate Elfman.

But the next second, the seemingly strong Jet kicked the effeminate Elfman in the butt, yelling, "Get up, Elfman! How long are you going to cry? Mira has already asked us to give you special training. From today onwards, don't even think about slacking off. We'll teach you what a real man is!"

"Hmm... oh, okay."

The effeminate Elfman gave a hesitant reply and slowly stood up. He was actually more than half a head taller Jet and Troy, and his burly physique was in no way inferior to the manly Elfman of Earth Land.

But it's really hard to accept that such a strong, nine-foot-tall man was so submissive to Jet and Troy that he was like a quail.

Just as the three people outside were arguing, the door to the secret room was suddenly pushed open, and Edolas Erza dragged a limp Eleven out of the room.

All three looked towards Edolas Erza. When the effeminate Elfman saw Eleven's miserable state, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and whisper, "Is he... is he dead?"

Edolas Erza shook their heads and said in a deep voice, "He just fainted. I'll take him to get some treatment."

"Did you find out anything? Do you know where Lisanna is?" Jet and Troy eagerly joined in.

Edolas Erza rolled their eyes, pointed with their thumb at Lucy who followed them out, and said coldly, "Go ask her."

Lucy, feeling somewhat embarrassed by the stares from the others, feigned toughness and scoffed, "Hmph! Who knew this guy's body was so fragile? I only interrogated him a few times and he passed out, unable to even speak!"

Eh...(w;(ー△ー;(w;)...

When Eleven opened his eyes again, he found himself out of that terrifying secret room. This time, he seemed to have been taken to a spacious, brightly lit tent, where he was bound hand and foot and thrown to the ground.

More people surrounded him, including Edolas Erza, and the golden-haired female gorilla, as well as many familiar and unfamiliar faces.

Are those two seemingly invincible guys Jet and Troy? They're so annoying!

Is that the crying one over here Elfman? Ugh, so disgusting.

Hey? Who's that gentle and virtuous-looking white-haired beauty next to me?

Huh? There are cats here too? Are they Happy and the others?

Wow, that cat looks just like Mr. Night! It's kind of scary!

Who's that guy over there in the pink armor? He looks so flashy!

"Hey! What are you looking around for? Are you plotting something?"

Just as Eleven was immersed in the joy of exploration, a deep cleavage obscured his vision, making it impossible for him to look at the people in the tent.

Who is this person? So fair-skinned.

O(Д)っ! Wait!

"Damn it! What are you trying to do now, you golden retriever gorilla? Get away from me!"

The innocent Eleven immediately recognized the owner of the cleavage, and immediately did a somersault, flying half a meter backward, his face full of disgust and lingering fear.

"Hey! Who are you calling a female gorilla?!"

Edo Lucy was squatting in front of Eleven in a crouching position, veins bulging on her forehead, clearly annoyed by how Eleven addressed her.

Seeing that things were going badly, Eleven ignored Lucy and turned to shout loudly at Edolas Erza!

"Hey, Erza, didn't you want information from me? Then hurry up and get this mother gorilla away! Otherwise, she's going to knock me out again, and you won't be able to ask me anything!!"

("▼皿▼): "You bastard!! Try calling me a female gorilla again!!"

(Д#): "Golden-haired, violent female gorilla!!"

ヽ(#`Д′)┌┛:"Ahhh, you really dare to do that!"

"Enough! Lucy Ashura, stop this nonsense!"

Just as Eleven's life hung by a thread, about to be devoured alive by the golden-haired female gorilla, Edolas Erza's voice descended like heavenly music.

However, Lucy, the mother gorilla, didn't seem to want to listen to Edolas Erza. She turned back and glared angrily at her, saying unhappily, "Erza Knightwalker, mind your own business! This time, I'll definitely make him spill everything he knows!"

After saying that, he clenched his fists again and walked towards Eleven. Eleven, on the other hand, was lying on the ground, frantically gesturing to Edolas Erza with his eyes, tears welling up in his eyes.

Hey! Aren't you Erza? Show some Erza's spirit! How could Erza be outshone by this blond-haired gorilla?

Edolas Erza received Eleven's eye signal, but ignored it, even finding his overly familiar manner somewhat disgusting.

However, seeing that Eleven was about to fall into their clutches again, she sighed and turned to the two behind her, saying, "Troy, Jet, I'll trouble you to keep an eye on your men."

Troy and Jet both looked helpless. They took a few steps forward, grabbed Lucy who was about to go berserk, and carried her out of the tent.

"Hey, Trojans, which side are you on? Why are you helping that woman?" Lucy roared in frustration.

"Alright, alright, Lucy, let's not embarrass ourselves."

"Yes, yes, don't make things worse."

"You two bastards, let me go!"

Only when the golden gorilla's roars gradually faded into the distance did Eleven secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but cast a grateful glance at Edolas Erza. But what he got in return was a cold, piercing gaze filled with murderous intent.

"Alright, now that no one's in your way, you can talk about your business."

Edolas Erza walked up to Eleven, their faces grim and cold.

Although she was cold towards Lucy and the others before, that coldness was at most a form of indifference and contempt. But when facing Eleven, the killing intent in her eyes was undisguised, chilling to the bone.

Eleven sighed inwardly, knowing that the time for playing around was over. He struggled to sit up from the ground, looked directly into Edolas Erza's eyes, and began to tell his story.

"My name is Eleven, Eleven Brain, and I'm a mage from Fairy Tail!"
