Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army

Chapter 56: Conspiracy

Once the interrogation was over the man was put to sleep and sent back to the villa base, it took debauchery about and hour to pry the information from the man, so for the next targets, the kids missed out on their appraisal lesson and they would have to delay it till after the purging was over.

Over the next few target estates there was more people like the captured man who were seized and interrogated then sent back to the temporary base debauchery had, those men tried to fight back but were either so overwhelmed by the sheer strength of Balin and Dustan that they confessed before they were tortured or they were handled gently by Fae and Lucien thus ended up tasting the worst torture from the start because they insulted Leader. This time Dustan would just keep working on the man until he lost all will to lie.

Leol asked how they could determine if the man lied, the answer got the kids off guard, Leader had got a book from Tartarus that gave her a title "holy confessor". Leader showed the title through her status but hid everything except her name. The description of the title says " all those who either lie or intend to lie to the holy confessor will be exposed showing the sign of the liar". Leol assumed that they used an item or a spell, but a title was out of his expectations, if that is the case, Debauchery must have many other titles that are so convenient for them.

Although the kids wanted to watch, Fae stopped them saying that the way Dustan does his torture is not something anyone should learn, if they wanted to learn, they can ask Balin for his gentler means in extracting words. The kids didn't have to wait for very long, in the 7th target they found a female that did not belong and thus was given to Balin because Dustan hated torturing women because they fainted all the time before he could deal any real pain.

This time the kids could see Balin working and his approach was to stack more pain with time making it harder and harder for the subject to faint because the pain does not exceed the shock threshold because it does not hit hard but gradually increases making it harder to pass that threshold. He would start by tearing off the nails in each hand, than break one finger at the time, then do the same to the toes, and then he keeps breaking bones one by one until the girl could not even breath normally, she would be fully healed and asked to confess, if she lied, it would start all over, the female gave in by the second heal.

According to her, those families were to make a diversion by making trouble for Debauchery and keep the guild focused on pacifying Debauchery while their group took over some vaults and attacked the allies and the caravans under the protection of the guild and eventually start a coup and dethrone the current guild master by using the high amount of level 20 explorers they recruited with promises of riches and bigger freedom among other things, including some racial discrimination against the other races.

"Fools" was the only thing Leader had to say when she was asked by Reina on how plausible that plan was, especially with members of the guild leading this movement. It was not that their plan was faulty, its that there were things not even the secretary of the guild master knew about, something only adventurers with a certain rank can know about. Although Debauchery did not divulge much information, there were things to be gleaned from the way Leader treated the traitors.

Once all 8 targets were purged from existence, debauchery headed for the last target, the old king's castle. They found Bai lazing about on top of the gate with a silent domain already in place as well as illusions of guards patrolling the walls, when the group arrived as if by teleportation beside him, Bai stood up and kissed Yunan on the head and then punched Lucian one more time and threw Lucian's new boots at his face with "ptui".

Bai proceeded to lead Debauchery to the throne room where 50 men and women were tied and on their knees with such terror in their eyes that Yunan had to ask what he had done to them, Bai only smiled and made put a finger across his lips and all the captives nodded at the same time, whatever Bai did to them was worse than the torture Dustan inflicted since Dustan's subject tried to lie a few times before finally giving up. The questioning was rather peaceful as Bai had done all the hard work.

Fae sent the grave robber to gather all the riches in the castle while leader took in the confessions of the captives.

There was a cult born from inside the guild, since the number of human adventurers had superior numbers they should have better treatment than those from the races, then that changed with time to only humans should be adventurers as well as the masters of the continent and enslave all the races, as radicalism keep growing with each new radicalised member, the cult went from more benefits to world domination in a matter of a few hundred years, the cult is fully made from adventurers that were selected by the cult master from various sources, from kidnapping to buying the orphans and so on, all those were trained into adventurers and pushed to reach the 20tg level.

The cult master chose the old goat of a king because he had the ambition that grew from having his own kingdom into growing it into an empire that spanned all the continent, a fool by any and all standards, those who are here were to act as bait for Debauchery while the cult attacked some other places and blamed it on whoever was the target in that location. By the dawn of Saturday Balin went into the guild branch and issued an announcement, "Debauchery had annihilated all those who planned to disrupt their mission, if anyone has a word to say let them come and die, the guild master is invited to personally witness the evidence Debauchery has gathered in the mercantile city of Damascus" he then left an address and went on his way.
