Chapter 1789: Body Tempering Torture
In the laboratory, Sein had secured Leena to the experimental table and was looking down at her with cold disdain.To ensure the experiment proceeded smoothly, Leena had been stripped completely bare.
Intricate chains of runes restrained her wrists, thighs, shoulder blades, and back.
Against her pale skin, the black runes gave her an almost decadent, unsettling allure.
Yet the one bound to the experimental table was not truly “Leena”, but Mikaeli.
This old hag had just refused to cooperate with Sein and chosen stubborn resistance instead.
“Hmph! When I was making my name in Blackhaven, you were probably still wandering through some backwater magic academy, boy. You think your petty tricks can fool me?” Mikaeli sneered.
Mikaeli was tens of thousands of years old. Tricking an old witch like her and a fellow seeker of truth was never going to be easy.
In a place like Blackhaven, what kind of tricks had she not seen before?
In truth, even if Sein had tried to reason with her through fair and proper negotiation, this old hag would never have trusted him so easily.
A heart that had long been steeped in darkness would always instinctively turn toward negativity in both thought and action.
On top of that, the terms Mikaeli had proposed were outrageous.
