The Dark Rebirth of Pandora: Revenge of the Abyss-Chapter 308: Beta

I, Rosaline, and Pope Lucios first began to look at the upper part of the church, we spent almost two hours looking at everything, and of course there was no irregularity.

There are priests, nuns, and other clergy living here normally, their accommodation is simple but does not go against any rules, the place where the food is prepared is also very hygienic and the food is of good quality.

Both the food for the staff and the food that is donated for people who come to the church out of need, but something I noticed is the strange accumulation of children with an affinity for sacred magic.

Children aged 4 to 12 with good magical abilities have been welcomed by the church, again something involving people with good abilities in sacred magic, obviously it’s not a coincidence.

However, I didn’t question it too much, there’s no reason to, what they do with these children and adolescents is not my problem.

On the surface, the church is perfect, organized, clean, and takes good care of everyone, which is great for its image, and this makes the inspection conclude as excellent, now it’s just the basement that interests me.

The basement of the church is where the prisons, torture chambers, and weapons storage are located.

"Can I go down there, Pope Lucios?" I ask in front of the door to the underground.

"Of course, Grand Duchess Pandora," he simply affirms with a smile as I begin to descend the stairs, wondering what I’ll find down there.

The church’s barrier and the attack magic are burning up the mana localization ability I have, so it’s very difficult to identify what’s really down there using just my mana and the ambient mana.

"Just call me Pandora, please," I say politely as I begin to descend.

"Then call me just Lucios," the Pope says as we quickly reach a corridor with some cells, but what catches my attention is a lever that I pull without asking and then go back 37 times.

The church map I bought indicated that this is a lever for a secret passage, the Pope and the Saint seem surprised as the floor opens up.

"Can we continue?" I say with a smile.

"..."

"Of course," the Pope says as if he had nothing to hide, if it weren’t for the map I bought on the black market, I wouldn’t have found this, it’s well hidden in the ground through earth magic that seals everything perfectly.

We begin to descend as I hear sounds of crying, screaming, and pleas for help, but due to the dense concentration of mana, I know they are mostly demons.

’It seems this place is the torture chamber for captured demons.’ The place reeks of various smells, and the main one is blood.

"This place is the holding area for non-human prisoners we’ve captured," the Pope says as we reach the area with the prisoners’ cells.

’Obvious discrimination then, I guess that was to be expected.’ The cells up there are much better in comparison to these down here in every way.

’So Pope Lucios is probably someone who believes in racial supremacy based on the deities.’ Possibly he is the type who thinks his goddess is the most important and that everyone should worship her, and those who don’t are not worthy of basic rights.

I look inside one of the cells, seeing some dead demons, down here I don’t feel that unpleasant magic from the church’s barrier, it seems to only work up there.

"Do you see any problems, Pandora?" The Pope asks, approaching and looking inside.

"Yes, we have a serious problem here," I say, seeing a demon that can barely breathe.

"Serious? And what would the problem be?" The Pope asks with interest.

"This place is filthy, with such a bad place, they died quickly and the torture ended quickly, and it would be interesting to mix healing potions with mild acid to throw on the prisoners’ wounds," I say with a malicious smile.

"Oh, what an interesting idea," he says, now excited as he understands the problem.

"Since you seem to have experience with this, how about we torture a demon together so you can give me some tips?" He says as I nod positively without even thinking.

"Then follow me... you can come too, Rosaline, it’s good that you can learn something new," the Pope says with little interest for Rosaline.

"Of course, Pope Lucios, I’m grateful for the offer," Rosaline says as the two of us follow the Pope to another cleaner and more organized area, the walls are made of white marble and illuminated by magic.

’Very clean and organized, it seems to be the way to his personal torture chamber.’ We soon reach a black door, I feel anti-magic properties coming from the door and from inside the room, whatever is trapped in there must be very strong.

The Pope opens the door, and I soon see a small room, full of torture materials and potions, while a girl is pinned to the wall. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

’That sweet and strangely familiar scent... it’s pleasant.’ The scent of this girl is very good, it’s even a bit familiar even though I don’t know her.

"Who is this demon?" I ask with interest, looking at the girl, she has orange eyes and long black hair with a fringe covering one of her eyes, she also has a pair of large black horns and very large black wings, she seems to be unconscious even with her eyes open.

"She is Beta, currently she must be 7,590 years old and was a loyal servant of the being now known as the Strongest Demon King in History," when the Pope says this, I’m shocked.

’She is a servant of my older sister!!!’ Now it makes sense why her scent is pleasant, she must have been very close to my older sister all the time to still have that scent.

It’s a sweet scent that resembles mine, but obviously the scent is clinging to the girl, but it doesn’t come from her.

"That’s interesting, how was she captured?" I ask with interest, taking steps forward.

"I don’t know, she was already imprisoned here when I became Pope, the previous Pope was the one who took care of her, and he also didn’t know how she was captured and imprisoned down here."

"She’s never said a word, even after being tortured for millennia, she’s never given any information about her master, it’s really annoying."

"But she’s a good toy that doesn’t break easily, and since she doesn’t accept the word of our goddess, she deserves punishment."

’So they were trying some kind of brainwashing on this girl and failed...’ At least she’s always been loyal and never said anything, that’s enough to earn my respect.

’But what huge breasts this girl has!! It’s bigger than my head’ She has massively large breasts, it must be almost 3 times bigger than my breasts, like super disproportionate, but it strangely looks beautiful on her.

’Does my older sister have some kind of fetish for huge breasts? Would it be insulting for me to think that about my older sister?’ I have no idea.

Unfortunately for Beta, I need to torture her, for now the Pope seems to find me favorable, and I need to maintain this image if I want him to tell me the abilities of the heroes.

’I’m sorry, sister, but between my goals and a mere servant of yours, my choice is obvious, if she is your servant, then she must serve what is best for me since I am your younger sister.’ I think this as I approach the table to see what’s good.

"Lucios, what do you like the most, bladed weapons or magical potions?" I ask, seeing the many interesting things, it seems to have almost 50 different potions and more than 500 torture weapons from small to some larger ones in the corners of the room.

"I think bladed weapons, they’ve proven to be more efficient, plus most potions can’t penetrate this demon’s skin," Lucios says after thinking for a moment.

’Now it makes sense about the powerful material of these torture tools.’ This girl must have bizarrely high resistance to still be alive even after being tortured for millennia.

"Can I use whatever I want from here, Lucios?" I ask, and he just approves, I soon start mixing some of the potions until they become a black, bubbly, and watery liquid, then I take a scalpel and dip it in the liquid.

"Try this one," I say, handing the blade to Lucios, who just accepts it without understanding, but still interested, he soon approaches Beta and touches the blade to her arm, sinking it and moving it to make a straight cut.

"GYAAAAAAAA" A loud and shrill scream occurs as the girl wakes up screaming in pain and Lucios even steps back surprised.

"Wow, Pandora, this is the first time she’s reacted with pain to the initial stimuli, what is this you’ve made?" Lucios asks with great interest.

"I created a poison that aims to inflict pain at the point of contact, as well as a slight burning in the area to help with the cut, unfortunately this damages the material, so any tool dipped in this liquid will be useless after a few uses," I say as I dip a knife in the liquid.

"If you want, I can give you the recipe for which potions to mix to make this," I’ve studied a bit about potions, so if it’s just mixing them for new effects, I can do it if it’s not completely from scratch.

"Also, I think we should torture this unclean and heretical demon, don’t you agree?" I say with a malicious smile, the Pope gains a smile that no Pope should have.

"Great idea, Rosaline, why can’t you be as active as someone like that?" The Pope makes a comparison while Rosaline just shrinks in humiliation.

"I see the Grand Duke Veritus has raised his daughter well," the Pope says, praising my ’father’, it seems I’ve left him satisfied.

"I believe this poison will still be effective for 3 hours, Lucios, so let’s take advantage of it," I say as I approach with the knife.

’It would be easy to kill him, but I need the information, I hope torturing Beta together increases this paranoid man’s favorability even more.’ He doesn’t show it, but his gaze shows clear distrust of me.

"Ladies first?" I say, pointing the knife at Beta.

"Of course, go ahead, I’ll choose one of the weapons," he says as I approach Beta, who is now conscious and clenches her teeth to endure the pain.
