Chapter 396: Training

That was how much time it took Rael to figure out that Roger was a complete and total sadist.
After all, Rael was currently a few thousand meters under the water. Sure, he wasn’t drowning because of his Fishmancy skill, but fish crowding toward him while he was tied up was not the most pleasant experience.
And that was because he was currently blind.
Bastard said this is some sensory deprivation practice. Who am I even practicing against? The fish love me, Rael thought with a sigh.
Even so, being underwater for so long was starting to get repetitive, so just as Rael was about to use his mana to free himself, he felt a tug on the rope that held him down.
He was confused for a moment, but then, his vision returned, and to his genuine surprise, he was no longer in water. Instead, he was slowly being lowered into molten lava.
And of course, Roger stood in the air right in front of him, a wide smirk on his face.
"Hey..." Rael muttered. "What is this? Pull me up."
"Hmm? Why? Since water doesn’t seem to work, let’s try another liquid substance," Roger replied plainly. "I want your senses to be muddled. If they’re unaffected, then I’m just wasting my time. I was going to go for something more subtle, but lava shouldn’t harm you that much."
"Shouldn’t...?" Rael repeated. "Sir, I don’t mean to question your methods, but what if I die?"
Roger stared at him for a few moments, his smirk widening.
