Chapter 799 Soul Extraction and New Home

Mia and the others could see a transparent Liona being ripped out of her body, her soul slowly being taken away from her before being held by Reign. She was now in a state between life and death, her consciousness aware but unable to escape or speak. It was a cruel fate, and Reign could feel the fear and suffering emanating from her soul.

Mia, standing nearby, watched with a mix of satisfaction and vengeance in her eyes. Liona had betrayed them and plotted against the Ice Angels, and now she would face the consequences.

Reign glanced back before he willed the soul to go inside him, placing it inside his field of consciousness where Aethion quickly made the soul lie down on a bed that was made out of soul power.

It wasn't a normal bed, of course, as there were many straps around that held her soul in place, making it impossible for her to even move. Liona's consciousness returned right as she was placed on the bed, and she stared around quickly before trying to free herself, but it was to no avail.

"Struggling will not help you, child," Aethion said as he appeared in front of Liona who stared at him in confusion.

"I don't mind betrayals and people that have the same way of thinking and goals as you, unfortunately, Reign does, and since I am bound to him, it means I have to listen to him."

"We're going to get to know each other very well over the course of the next couple of years, you can rest easy knowing that you will not die, although you will hope to die soon," Aethion said as he smiled warmly at Liona before creating an array of tools that appeared around him.

"Now, shall we start?" Aethion asked as he took a scalpel and held it in his hand.

"You are going to tell me everything you know about the ones you worked with, I do hope you don't tell me the truth right away, that will be very boring for me."

"Go to hell you bastard, who the hell are you, where the hell-"

"Atta girl." Aethion said with a wide smile before Liona's curses were stopped by a sharp scream of pain as Aethion started with his 'interrogation'.

"We can expect answers quite soon." Reign told Mia and the others before they started their way back to their territory. Beast summoned his beasts and they placed the dead bodies of the Ice Angels on them before walking back.

The atmosphere was heavy and nobody talked. The angels had just suffered a heavy blow, and if it wasn't for Reign and the others, they wouldn't have survived at all.

"Why is your territory so small, Lola did mention it in the past, but I never expected it to be that small and most of the people to be so old." Reign suddenly said as Mia glanced at him before sighing deeply.

"When the game started, the area close to here was where we were, it … it was a part of the city that had plenty of retirement homes, I was visiting a relative since I was passing by, so were the rest of them."

"After the game started, the slaughtering began, and we fought back against the monsters that appeared, quickly increasing in levels."

"I decided to save the old people who were in the homes, most of them became safe zones luckily, so we were able to easily get them to safety, and as the monsters present were low-leveled, it only took us a couple of days to become powerful enough to go against them all, in a couple of weeks, we were more than powerful enough to transport all the elderly to a larger safe zone, the one we are still living in."

"That's the reason most of the people in the territory are old people that simply can't fight, even taking side jobs as craftsmen is difficult for them." 

Reign nodded at Mia, slightly surprised at how she and the others had decided to shoulder all the responsibility by themselves and keep the people safe.

"Well, you don't have to worry about them any longer, we have a town and a city under our control, Lola should have told you that much already, we can transport the people there, the barrier we have around them is a lot more powerful than yours and can withstand a lot of damage, not to mention the thousands of players that are present as well." Reign said as he thought back on what he saw in Mia's territory.

They actually didn't have many buildings present, a lot of things that Reign and the others had were not there. He could only imagine how much S Coins Mia and the others had spent to constantly buy food for the elderly and make sure they would survive.

Luckily, even after a couple of months had passed, the weather was still nice, making it easy for them to warm themselves up in the evening. If it was winter, it would have been many times more difficult.

Mia's expression brightened with a mix of relief and gratitude at Reign's words. She had been carrying the responsibility of ensuring the safety of the elderly residents of her territory for so long, and the prospect of relocating them to a more secure place was a weight off her shoulders.

"That would be an incredible help," Mia replied, her voice filled with gratitude. "I've been doing my best to take care of them, but it's been a challenge. I didn't want to burden Lola or ask for help, but this will make a world of difference."

Reign nodded in understanding. He admired Mia's determination and the sense of responsibility she had shown, but he also recognized that they had the means and resources to offer assistance. It was the way of their group to extend help to those in need.

Not to mention that by taking in the 2000 people, he would gain the full support of a powerful team in the region, the one second only to them, the Ice Angels.

Mia was like them, a pioneer, and she was also a person that had a mark. She alone was worth much more to them than the other allies, and even if there were 5,000 people, Reign would gladly take them all in order to gain the support of Mia and the angels.

Meanwhile, back in Reign's consciousness, Aethion continued his "interrogation" of Liona. Her soul was captured and forced to be on the 'bed', her consciousness trapped in a state of agony.

Aethion had a cruel sense of satisfaction as he used various soul manipulation techniques to extract information from Liona's tormented soul. He probed her memories, forcing her to relive her moments of betrayal and treachery. He extracted names, plans, and secrets that she had guarded.

Liona's screams echoed within the darkness surrounding them, her suffering intensifying with every revelation. She had made the mistake of betraying the angels and underestimating the power that Reign and the others had, and now she was paying the price.

Hours passed, and Aethion had gathered a wealth of information. He paused to observe Liona, her once-defiant spirit broken. Her eyes were filled with despair and her voice reduced to mere sobs.

"You've been quite cooperative," Aethion remarked with a wicked smile. "But there's still more to learn. Let's continue, shall we?"

As the "interrogation" continued, Liona's pain and fear deepened. She had underestimated her captors, and her secrets were being laid bare. She had no idea how long her torment would last, and the prospect of enduring it further was a horrifying one.

Back in Reign's territory, the group arrived safely. Mia and the elderly residents gazed in awe at the bustling town and the lively streets. The sense of community and activity was a stark contrast to the quiet and secluded nature of their own territory.

Mia couldn't help but feel a sense of relief at the prospect of relocating the elderly residents here. They would have access to better facilities, protection, and a more vibrant environment.

Reign led them to a central square where various stalls, shops, and amenities were available. People were going about their daily lives, and the elderly residents observed the surroundings with both curiosity and wonder.

They were in Doncaster as Reign wanted to show them both territories so that the elderly could choose which one they would want to live in. Of course, with the portals present, it was a simple thing to go to and fro the town and city.
