Both Irene, the thief, and Sylph, the magical archer, possessed astonishing speed; they moved forward like a gust of wind.

Aili cast a stealth spell on Sylph, and the three of them moved through Ramon's territory. Even if Magic Creature brushed past them, they wouldn't be able to detect their presence.

Just as Sylph had reported, there wasn't a single patrolling guard near the tall palace not far away, but the prison was teeming with Magic Creature.

They knew they didn't have much time left.

No matter how well the traces of human life in the Demonic Beast Territory are hidden, they will eventually be discovered by the Magic Creature. They must find Jello Geralt's Soul Fragment and Ronald within this limited time.

The three people held their breath.

My heartbeat was also suppressed to its lowest point.

The movement of their footsteps was completely silent.

Among the Magic Creature, many races possess extremely keen senses of smell, hearing, or sight, making them hesitant to take even the slightest risk. Even the most skilled and daring individuals have no right to act recklessly in such a place, and can only quietly hide to the side as they watch the Magic Creature approaching.

Approaching the dungeon silently, the nauseating stench unique to Magic Creature wafted through the air, making the three girls vomit repeatedly. Looking around, they saw thousands of strong Magic Creature swarming around the outside of the dungeon, just as Sylph had said, as if they wanted everyone to know that an important person was being held there.

On the other side, Ramon sat regally on his throne, smugly awaiting the arrival of the human Hero's Party as they stormed into the palace.

It has to be said that the two sides formed a classic case of misunderstanding and mishap; one side thought too much, while the other side thought too little...

The three women waited anxiously and patiently outside the dungeon. Finally, during a shift change, they successfully sneaked into the dungeon.

The stench grew stronger, which was quite unbearable for the three beautiful girls, especially Sylph, who had a phobia of germs. Her face turned pale, as if she might vomit at any moment.

Magic Creature sanitation conditions here are already poor, but the conditions in the cells are even worse. Prisoners eat, drink, and relieve themselves all here, so the Magic Creature are probably already used to it.

But for humans who suddenly find themselves here, this place is nothing short of hell.

A wide corridor leads to an end hundreds of meters away, with rows of metal cages on both sides.

The wall above was carved with a relief of the Demon King, whose huge body was draped in a scarlet cloak, his right hand supporting his head as he sat on a throne, with a scarlet battle axe beside him, which was the Demon King's weapon.

It seems that those prisoners who have made mistakes must constantly behold the majesty of the Demon King, even while in their cages.

Compared to the thousands of guards outside the dungeon, the inside was much sparsely populated, with only a handful of guards. The cages held some Magic Creature who had offended Ramon, which roared from time to time.

From a human perspective, these cages are large enough, but for some Magic Creature, they are still too small. They can only curl up into a ball to barely fit into the cell, and the metal chains that run through their limbs and are as thick as arms will immediately rattle if they move even slightly.

This situation caused the three women to frown, and they vaguely felt that their assumptions might be wrong.

They quickened their pace without realizing it, making their way to the end of the dungeon.

There was nothing there; Ronald was nowhere to be seen.

"What's going on? Is there a hidden cell?" Aili looked at Sylph and asked softly.

Sylph shook her head slightly.

"No Magic Power fluctuations, no magical restrictions, no hidden cells, there's...nothing here." Sylph's gaze was cold as she stared at Aili. "We've been tricked."

The meaning is clear: Ellie and Erin's judgment was wrong; they underestimated the monsters.

Eileen and Aili were somewhat unable to accept this outcome. Their faces clearly showed some frustration. Even though they had guessed wrong, they felt a sense of Wrath, as if they had been fooled by Magic Creature.

Just then, dozens of Pigman guards, arranged in a crooked line, were walking towards them.

The Twin Thieves were of one mind; they didn't even need to exchange a glance before they moved instantly.

His body suddenly transformed into two phantoms.

With a hissing sound, thin, cicada-wing-like blades whistled from Eileen's hand, tearing through the air and accurately piercing the foreheads of each Magic Creature in the cage.

In the entire dungeon, hundreds of imprisoned Magic Creature died instantly.

The sharp blade had pierced their brains.

On the other side, Aili's figure moved like a venomous snake, instantly weaving through dozens of Magic Creature guards.

The group of Pigman felt a gentle breeze on their faces, and the next instant, their necks seemed to be wrapped around something extremely sharp.

Aili's figure appeared, her two small hands like those of a puppeteer, with strands of metal as thin as hair wrapped around her fingers.

This metal wire was specially forged by Aili and is extremely flexible.

The extreme thinness also gives these wires an amazing sharpness.

These two sisters are not just skilled with daggers; they are proficient in any weapon that can easily end a target's life.

He was proficient in poisons, bows and crossbows, daggers, short swords, silk threads, and hidden weapons.

In an instant, the group of Magic Creature instinctively froze in place, their crimson eyes clearly revealing the marks on their necks.

"Who are you?"

The lead Pigman let out a low, suppressed roar.

"The sound is too loud." A cruel glint flashed across Aili's fair face as she lightly flicked the silk thread with her little fingernail.

With a hiss, the Pigman's neck was severed instantly, and a huge pig's head fell to the ground, rolling a long way away.

Blood gushed wildly from the neck, and the headless corpse fell to the ground, the pungent smell of blood filling the surroundings.

The remaining dozens of Pigman were all silent with fear, not daring to move an inch.

Aili's voice rang out in front of a Pigman: "Tell me, where is Ronald being held?"

The Pigman who was asked the question shuddered slightly; his bloated body writhed slowly, and his eyes clearly showed hesitation.

Ronald's matter is a secret that must be kept strictly confidential within the Ramon's Territory. If it is revealed, the Seventh Prince will not let him off the hook.

In the brief moment of his hesitation, Aili's hand trembled, and another round head fell to the ground.

Although she was Magic Creature, this petite girl didn't hesitate at all when she attacked, and she didn't care even when blood splattered on her body. Her fair and delicate face, with a touch of scarlet, had a strange and bewitching beauty.

Beneath the black and white Gothic skirt, the pure white stockings covering her slender legs were stained with specks of scarlet, like plum blossoms in bloom.

Aili moved in front of the third Pigman, her voice as clear and lovely as ever, even with a touch of inexplicable innocence. "Hey, you'll tell me, right?"

Seeing that its two companions had already had their heads severed, and with a metal wire poised to cut its neck at any moment, how could it dare to hesitate even slightly?

Betraying Prince Ramon could mean death!

But now, if he can't answer the question from the invisible girl, he'll be beheaded immediately.

"I, I'll say..."

"Ronald is being held in the Seventh Prince's palace," the Pigman said quickly.

Although this was also the answer that Sylph, Eileen, Aili deduced, if it wasn't on this side, it must be on the other side.

But it was clearly not very good at lying; its rapidly rolling eyes completely betrayed it. Aili frowned slightly, flicked her finger again, and the third pig's head fell to the ground.

"My patience is wearing thin. I need to know everything about Ronald. Whoever can tell me the answers will live. Everyone else will die..." Aili coldly issued her ultimatum.

At the same time, the slender, fair wrist began to rotate gently, and the dozens of Pigman felt the threads on their necks gradually tightening, even gradually cutting through the tough pigskin, seeping out beads of bright red blood.

Finally, unable to bear the fear of impending death, these Pigman let out a sharp, mournful cry, "I... I'll talk..."

As soon as the first Pigman spoke, the remaining Pigman immediately began to chatter amongst themselves, as if afraid that their companion would steal their chance to survive.

Everything Ronald had experienced here appeared before Eileen, Aili, and Sylph.

"His Highness Ramon has arrested Ronald... and locked him in a cage for all the Magic Creature to see."

"Ronald also hosted several thousand strong, muscular Magic Creature, who basically wore him out..."

"No matter what kind of Magic Creature it is, as long as you pay, you can have a close encounter with a former member of the Hero's Party."

"There are even many Magic Creature from other places, just to taste Ronald's flavor."

"Ronald kept begging for mercy..."

"This is so tragic, even I, as Magic Creature, couldn't bear to watch."

"His Highness Ramon seems to have made some kind of deal with a being named Horus, and it's said that those actions were done according to Horus's demands..."

Ramon was a big mouth. Even though the transactions were very secretive, he couldn't help but brag to some of his trusted subordinates, and these subordinates were clearly not very discreet.

Hearing the words of these Pigman, Eileen, Aili, and Sylph trembled and turned pale. They finally understood what Ronald had gone through in the past few days.

That was the cruelest torture, a hellish nightmare.

For a young nobleman who is extremely concerned with appearances, this is worse than death.

Horus, who the hell is that bastard?

What grudge did he hold against Ronald that he would resort to such cruel methods to torture him?

"Where is he right now?" Eileen couldn't control herself and let out a chillingly cold voice, her small body trembling uncontrollably.

The thought of Ronald letting her escape first while he suffered such cruel torture made Eileen want to slaughter all the Magic Creature, leaving none behind.

These filthy creatures have no value in existing in this world; they are nothing but garbage.

"Dead..."

"I heard he was played to death a long time ago, and his body was dumped in the woods."

"It's probably been eaten by wild animals by now."

Buzz...

Upon hearing this, the three women turned even paler.

Ronald... is he dead?

Eileen's thoughts seemed to freeze, her heart seemed to solidify, and a murderous intent was surging wildly in her chest.

"Lord Ramon, let's not spread the word. Let's make it seem like Ronald is still alive to lure other Hero's Party to our rescue..."

So that's the truth...

Saving Ronald was a trap from the very beginning.

When did that idiot Ramon become so smart?

"Where are Ronald's things? Where is his storage ring?" Aili felt her voice trembling.

Ronald is dead, so at the very least, shouldn't we bring back Jello's Soul Fragment?

"All the treasures, naturally, are on His Highness Ramon."

Dead silence.

Eileen and Aili's gothic dresses looked out of place in this environment, exuding a sense of gloom and terror. Their faces grew increasingly pale, like long-dead corpses, or like ghosts filled with intense resentment.

Ronald endured inhumane torture here.

The body was thrown into the woods and devoured by wild animals and insects.

Even Jello's Soul Fragment were stolen.

And that Ramon himself was powerful, and he must have been surrounded by many elite Magic Creature, beings that they could not handle. In other words, apart from the tragedy of the death of one of their companions, they gained nothing.

Aili couldn't accept this ending. A low, suppressed moan suddenly escaped her throat, and her hands fell swiftly to the ground.

The next instant... sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle...

The eerie sounds connected in a straight line, and dozens of heads were severed almost simultaneously.

The ground was instantly covered in thick blood, and headless corpses lay scattered and crowded in the pool of blood, some even twitching nervously.

Although Sylph felt sadness, it wasn't as intense as Irene's. She took a breath and said, "Let's go back first. This matter needs further consideration."

Eileen and Aili accepted Sylph's suggestion and left the dungeon with Sylph.

Just as when they arrived, they tried their best to keep a low profile.

Everything was normal at first.

Suddenly, for some unknown reason, a Magic Creature seemed to sense something. It saw a faint outline and smelled a slight human presence.

Those huge eyes widened instantly, and sharp claws instinctively tore towards that silhouette.

Sizzle!

Almost at the same time, Sylph appeared.

He had been holding her small hands tightly, but suddenly he let go.
