No sooner had she done so than the Electro Abyss Mage felt a tremendous force strike her. Immediately, a great scythe was placed at her neck. With just a little more force, she could be decapitated.
"It's... it's you. You really came."
The Electro Abyss Mage looked at Durandal in fear. This person... this terrifying individual she had always avoided had finally appeared before her.
Sure enough, what you fear most comes true. That Pyro Abyssal Mage, even if I die, I won't let you off.
"It's me. Those Hilichurls you arranged on the road wasted a little of my time. However, there are quite a few surprises here. This ruin was never discovered before."
Not only Durandal, but even Lumine hadn't discovered this ruin. It seemed they were still too green, missing out on many good things.
"Besides what you just said, what other plans do you have? Tell me before I make my move."
"Hmph! Just kill me if you want; why all this nonsense! Even if I die, you won't get any more information from me."
"Oh? Is that so? Quite stubborn, aren't you? Since you know me, don't you understand my abilities?"
As if the cold wind of Snezhnaya blew over her, the Electro Abyss Mage recalled the terrifying scene that made her afraid. Could it be... could she be planning to... Soon, she personally experienced Durandal's ability. Various parts of her body were melting, and an indescribable pain continuously assailed her, so intense that it left her speechless.
She initially thought she would die quickly, but then she found her body recovering just as fast.
However, this not only failed to make the Abyssal Mage relax, but instead made it even more terrified.
Why? This meant that the pain it had just felt could come again. Miss Delezie was doing this on purpose; she wanted to use this method to pry open its mouth.
"Do you think this will set you free? Restoring the life energy you need is much less than you imagine, so you don't have to worry about how many times I can restore you. We can keep playing like this until you're willing to tell me the secret."
"The Abyssal Mage I caught last time lasted about four times. I wonder how stubborn your mouth is, and how many times you can endure."
Miss Delezie, with a chilling smile, once again unleashed her ability. This time, she inflicted a completely different plague on the Abyssal Mage, but no matter which plague she inflicted, it was all the same; the pain was identical.
"De... demon."
Though she looked so cute, in the eyes of the Abyssal Mage, Miss Delezie at this moment was like a demon, chilling and terrifying beyond measure.
In the end, this Abyssal Mage did not break the record and told Miss Delezie everything before the third session was implemented.
Using the power of the Abyss to corrode artifacts, allowing Abyssal creatures or the artifacts themselves to be enhanced, thereby becoming stronger.
So, is the Abyss preparing for military training? Or are they planning to create new species of Abyssal monsters?
If it's just that, it's not a big deal; even if they're strengthened, they can only get so strong. The main concern is their purpose in collecting artifacts.
Besides modifying artifacts, the power contained within the artifacts is also very important. Although that Abyssal Mage told everything it knew, Miss Delezie believed it didn't understand much.
Perhaps the one who sent them out didn't reveal the detailed reasons, fearing that they might be captured and divulge this information under interrogation.
If the Abyss's purpose in collecting these artifacts is not to modify them into weapons, but rather to extract the energy from them to achieve some other goal, the problem would be far more serious than the former.
Since arriving in Inazuma, traces of the Abyss have been much fewer, with most of the destruction being caused by the Fatui, as if Inazuma had nothing that could attract the Abyss's attention.
However, this was merely because the Abyss's operations were more covert. Everyone's attention was drawn to the Fatui and the Rebel Army, failing to notice that there was also this group of people secretly doing something.
"The Abyssal Mage who sent them here must have had other intentions. But... what do they want to do?"
Besides the artifacts mentioned earlier, is there anywhere else in Inazuma that the Abyss Order has targeted?
It seems the exploration of Inazuma is much less than imagined.
