Wood spoke as he caught Phrynie's palm with one hand, twisting it behind her back. Then, with a burst of strength from his arm, Phrynie's several-ton body was suddenly lifted off the ground and thrown through the air by Wood!
"This is only a warning. I'll let it go this time for the sake of Goddess Ishtar's face.
"But if there's a next time, I'll kill you, you ugly bitch!
"You actually think you look as beautiful as a goddess? The fact that I didn't throw up on the spot when I saw your face already proves how refined I am."
Hearing Wood's merciless insults, the young women of the Ishtar Familia felt both immensely satisfied and inexplicably terrified.
They were satisfied because Wood had said what they had always wanted to say but never dared to.
As for their fear, it was because Phrynie was indeed ugly, but she had always believed herself exceptionally beautiful. If someone called her ugly to her face, the monster would fly into a rage on the spot!
"Ahhhhhhh! You called me ugly? I'm a woman as beautiful as the Goddess of Beauty! Whenever men see me, they become completely infatuated.
"I thought the 'Great Sage' would have some discernment, but it turns out he's just an uncultured fool who knows nothing about aesthetics."
Although Wood had thrown Phrynie onto her face, her thick skin and sturdy body meant she had not suffered much injury.
Moreover, after being called ugly, Phrynie was clearly burning with fury. She immediately drew her weapon and prepared to attack Wood.
"Phrynie, stop right now! Don't forget Lady Ishtar's orders. Your position as captain has been revoked. I'm the captain of the Ishtar Familia now.
"Goddess Ishtar sent you here to atone for your crimes, not to cause trouble.
