As Beatrice walked away from Irelia's cell, she couldn't help but wipe some non-existent sweat off her forehead.

Although all four mages that her teacher had captured had their mana fully restrained Beatrice still felt like looking after them was quite dangerous, especially Irelia and Ighor, both of whom gave Beatrice a bad feeling.

"Hopefully nothing happens before teacher comes back," mumbled Beatrice as she walked through the halls of her underground home.

And contrary to Beatrice's expectations, nothing did actually happen.

...

Six days later,

For the past six days, Ighor no longer tried to escape, merely standing inside of his cell and staring at the walls.

Even when the very person who had captured him, the Witch of Death appeared before Ighor, is expression did not change in the slightest.

Looking at Ighor, who seemed almost zombie-like, a small smile couldn't help but appear on the ace of the Witch of Death, causing Selena to wave, her hand, knocking Ighor unconscious.

Only a few minutes later, Selena, now alongside Beatrice, stood in front of a large glass window, overlooking four cells, which were only separated by a thin wall.

These past six days, Beatrice had continued experimenting on the Information Cube, as well as taking care of her ants.

As she looked at the four mages, which were locked into four different cells, Beatrice couldn't help but become somewhat curious.

"Teacher, do you want to do some sort of experiment on them?" asked Beatrice, causing Selena to shake her head.

"No, but although these four had been pursuing me, simply killing them would be quite wasteful, as such, I plan to make use of them."

"To do that, I need to prepare them, otherwise with how unyielding these guys are, they would not cooperate with me in the slightest, in fact, they would do their best to destroy my plans," said Selena as she watched the four mages slowly wake up.

Suddenly, to Beatrice's surprise, another figure appeared to the left of her teacher, one that by now, Beatrice was very familiar with.

As Beatrice looked at the chained-up Irelia, as well as the Irelia that was clearly inside the cell below them, a small smile couldn't help but appear on her face.

Looking at Irelia, who had hate slowly but surely brewing in her eyes, a small smile appeared on Selena's face.

"You really are lucky, you will get to enjoy such a nice view," mumbled Selena as she snapped her fingers, causing the black chain's around Irelia to disappear.

But even though Irelia was free to move however she liked, right now she continued staring at Selena.

"So you are going to begin torturing me right now?" asked Irelia, knowing that fighting Selena was utterly pointless.

"Do I seem like someone who would do something like that to someone as useful as you? You can ask my disciple to see how nice I am to her," said Selena, causing Irelia's attention to turn to Beatrice.

After staring at Beatrice for a few moments, Irelia let out a sigh, not planning on lecturing the latter anymore.

At this moment, Irelia turned her attention to the scene below them.

...

A few moments later, Daniel woke up before getting up from the ground.

But before Daniel could fully regain his bearings, the wall to the left side of hi room suddenly disappeared, revealing Irelia, who was also sitting on the ground, seemingly having just woken up.

"Irelia, thank god you are alright," shouted Daniel as quickly moved towards his teammate, seeing that Irelia did not seem to have been tortured Daniel breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry about me, that Witch is probably planning to do something to us," said Irelia as she looked at Daniel with her golden eyes.

Hearing that, Daniel nodded, caution filling his eyes, but even so, feeling Irelia's warmth, Daniel still couldn't help but smile.

But just a moment later, the two of them were disturbed, as the wall to their right side suddenly crumbled to dust, revealing Ighor, who right now, was unconscious on the floor, having not yet woken up.

Seeing this, both Daniel and Irelia suddenly began walking toward their teammate, the same thought appearing inside of her mind.

'If she wanted to kill us, she would have killed us,' thought Daniel as he reached out toward Ighor, wanting to wake the latter up.

Suddenly, Irelia, who was right next to Daniel, disappeared, leaving Daniel alone alongside Ighor, who was lying on the floor, just waking up.

A moment later, a knife suddenly appeared in Daniel's hands, causing him to freeze for a moment as thoughts swirled in his mind.

The moment Daniel had a vague idea about the plan of the Witch of Death, he suddenly tightly gripped the knife, stabbing it toward his eye only a moment later.

But for some reason, although Daniel used all of his strength in that stab, the knife did not do any damage to his eyes, causing an incredulous expression to appear on his face.

"Are you really so heartless and so willing to leave your little lover all alone?" asked a voice from behind Daniel.

At this moment, Daniel had completely lost control of his body, not being able to look behind him, but even so, the moment he heard that very familiar voice, he realised who that was.

"Are you here to torture me?" asked Daniel, gripping the knife in his hands even tighter, but although he tried his best, Daniel could not turn around, nor could he stab the person behind him.

"No, I'm really not, I'm just here to give you a choice," said Selena before suddenly disappearing from behind Daniel.

Merely a moment later, the wall in front of Daniel suddenly crumbled, revealing a cage, and inside that cage, stood a now unconscious Irelia.

Seeing that, extreme panic appeared in Daniel's eyes, but merely a moment later, his panic suddenly increased even more, having his guess be completely proven as true.

Looking at the goblin's walking toward's Irelia, Daniel's grip on his knife tightened even more.

Merely a few moments later, about five or so goblins had jumped on Irelia, beginning to strip her, when suddenly, they stopped, as if frozen in time.

Tears began slowly forming at the corner of Daniel's eyes as he stared at Ighor, who now had a knife stuck in his left eye, going straight through his head.
