"This Space is sealed. No one can come here to help you, not even if it is the Progenitor of a High-Level World himself.
No matter how much you wait, there will be no help.
Submit, Nixgut, for the one you stand against cannot be defeated."
"…"
"…"
Marlik spoke, and silence fell over the place.
Nixgut's thoughts were a mess. He was considering every possible factor, and Zharak, well, he was in no situation to say anything. He was still being teleported around.
There was a time when this torture stopped. However, the moment it did,
"MARLIKK!!!"
Zharak shouted and rushed towards Marlik, trying to end him, and was teleported again.
The only one who could make a sane decision here was Nixgut. Marlik gave him all the time he wanted.
After all, Nux still needed that name.
"W-What if I tell you who posted this mission and all other details? Will you let us go?"
Nixgut questioned, trying to negotiate.
Marlik, however, just chuckled.
"Even if I do, will you be able to survive?
I highly doubt they will let you go after you failed a supposedly impossible-to-fail mission, no?"
"…"
Nixgut turned silent. He knew it was the truth.
"I…"
In the end, he had no other choice but to say,
"I submit."
Marlik's smile widened at those words. Then,
He glanced and made Nixgut look forward and said,
"Form your Domain and capture him."
Nixgut nodded. However, just as he was about to deploy his domain, Marlik tightened his hold over his head and said,
"Do not try and do anything foolish, is that clear? The only reason you two are alive is because you know something my Lord wants to know.
But there are other ways to extract that information, ways that…
Will be very painful."
Marlik warned.
"And don't think holding me hostage would do you any good.
The only way for you to survive is to either submit or return to that High-Level World with my Lord in your hands.
My life has no value in my Lord's eyes. He will never exchange it with his own. He will disregard me in an instant."
The Withering King clarified.
His words made Nixgut raise his nonexistent eyebrows.
'Why does he sound so proud of it?'
He wondered.
'Something's wrong with his head. That Lord of his must have done something.'
For now, however, Nixgut couldn't care less. He did as he was told and deployed his Domain. The moment he did, a strange energy burst out of his body and…
Crack
The very sky shattered like glass, revealing an endless void of black and gold chains twisting through the void. These chains slithered and shifted, creating an overwhelming sense of imprisonment, as if the very world itself was locked in the Prison.
The ground warped into what seemed like an infinite maze of unbreakable obsidian, its surface covered in ancient runes of restriction. The air became dense and unmoving, thick with an incomprehensible force that crushed the target's will to resist.
