Chapter 238: When the Chains Fell Quiet (2)

A guard stepped in ...well over two meters tall, shirtless and iron-helmed, his massive muscles glistening.

Frey was shackled with aura-suppressing cuffs. He wore only a tattered black pair of trousers, barefoot and disheveled, slouched silently on the cold floor.

The guard stepped forward, flipping a dagger through his fingers with a fluidity that betrayed long years of experience.

”So youʼre Frey Starlight, huh? You really are young... probably the youngest Iʼve had to deal with so far.”

He leaned down and gave Frey a light pat on the shoulder.

”Anyway, nice to meet you. My nameʼs Vlad, and starting today, Iʼll be your executioner.”

His tone was cold, laced with menace. The iron helmet on his head didnʼt help.

But Frey simply smiled.

”Pleasureʼs mine. I look forward to our time together.”

Vlad froze for a moment.

Usually, inmates at this point were jittery ... left too long in solitary, only to be greeted by a monster assigned to torture them.

He was supposed to be afraid. But Frey Starlight wasnʼt.

Vlad adjusted his posture and continued.

Maybe the kid was just mentally unshakable... or maybe he was completely insane.

”Very well then, Frey Starlight. Iʼll be asking you a few questions. I expect full cooperation and honest answers. Thatʼll make things easier for both of us. Understood?”

Frey nodded with the same casual smile.

”Understood.”

”Good.”

Vlad sat in front of him.

”First question ... Youʼve killed many innocent people before, havenʼt you?”

”Yes.”

”My report says you regret it deeply, and feel guilty. Is that correct?”

”Thatʼs a lie.”

”What do you mean?”

Frey shrugged, answering calmly.

”Itʼs true that I killed them. But I donʼt feel anything about it. Honestly, I couldnʼt even tell you what their faces looked like.”

”So, you feel no guilt?”

”None.”

”Second question .. Where did you get your sword and your fighting style?”

”From an ancient sect located in the eastern part of the Nightmare Lands.”

”How did you even know it was there? The reports say you already had knowledge of what was hidden in that region.”

”I just got lucky.”

”Lucky, huh?”

”Yes.”

”Third and final question ... What were you trying to accomplish with that attack?”

The suicidal ignition that nearly destroyed the entire Temple.

Frey answered without even blinking.

”I wanted to destroy the world. Or at the very least, Belgrad, the capital.”

Vlad didnʼt know what to say.

Was the boy insane? That would explain the eerie calm... and those insane answers. Destroy the world?

Vlad twirled the dagger in his hand.

This wasnʼt what he wanted to hear.

He muttered under his breath ...

”Thatʼs wrong.”

Dead wrong.

”Guilty!”

He roared, plunging the dagger deep into Freyʼs left thigh.

Blood splattered across the floor as the blade sank into flesh and bone.

Vlad let out a breath of satisfaction as he twisted the dagger.

But the scream he expected never came.

Slowly, he looked up and met Freyʼs gaze. The boy was staring at him with the same expression.

Those empty black eyes, silently asking ..

What are you doing?

Vlad immediately checked the suppression cuffs ... still active, meaning Frey hadnʼt used aura reinforcement. He was just enduring the pain... naturally.

Vlad yanked the dagger out and sat down again, facing Frey who was now bleeding heavily.

”Iʼm going to ask you again.”

”Alright.”

Frey replied with the same indifference, which only fueled the executionerʼs frustration. He repeated the same questions. Frey gave the exact same answers.

So Vlad began to torture him.

He sliced flesh, burned skin, broke bones, and crushed fingers.

But no matter what he did .. no matter how far he pushed ... Frey Starlight never flinched, never screamed, never begged.

He just sat there, quietly staring at Vlad from that blood-soaked chair.

Breathing heavily, trembling with fury, Vlad finally snapped and screamed in Freyʼs face ..

”What the hell are you?! Are you some kind of masochist who enjoys torture?!”

How had he not gotten a single reaction?

But Frey only shrugged.

”Youʼre the one who asked me to be honest.”

”Damn it!”

The torture continued, fruitless as ever. And thus, the first day ended with Vlad storming out, leaving Frey behind. bloodied, broken… and silent.

But when Vlad returned the next day, his mind brimming with new methods of torment, he froze the moment he saw Frey.

The boy sat there as if nothing had happened. No bruises. No cuts. Not a single scar.

Vlad rushed toward him, wide-eyed, and checked the cuffs suppressing his aura .. still active, still functional.

He snapped at Frey.

”How the hell are you doing this?!”

Frey tilted his head with the same deadpan face.

”Doing what?”

”This! The healing!”

He pointed to Freyʼs perfectly intact body.

Frey replied flatly.

”I didnʼt do anything. My body just recovered. Itʼs been a while since you left.”

Vlad clutched his face.

It had only been a day, but to Frey, it had felt like a full week. His subconscious mind had concluded that a week had passed .. and so, believing that was enough time to heal, his body simply did.

Regenerated on its own.

Without him even realizing it.

”Youʼre messing with me!!”

”Iʼm not.”

”Damn it!”

And so, the cycle of torture continued.

For two whole months ... which, to Frey Starlight, felt like two years.

By the end of it, Vlad was a wreck. He screamed, he shook, he wept.

”Why?”

”Why didnʼt this boy break?”

He began to question his own skills, the years heʼd spent perfecting the art of agony. Was he truly incapable of doing his job?

But the problem wasnʼt him.

The problem was the boy in front of him.

On the final day, Vlad left the cell with slumped shoulders, utterly defeated.

Frey waved him goodbye with a faint smile.

”Iʼll miss you, Vlad.”

Vlad flinched at the words, trembling with barely contained rage.

”I hope I never see you again. Go die somewhere far away from me!”

He slammed the door.

Frey chuckled to himself.

”I really do pity him.”

Three months in Alcatraz had changed Frey Starlight.

The biggest change? The return of his pitch-black hair, now restored to its original state.

The white hair had merely been a side effect of the Moonlight familyʼs curse ... and now, after enough time had passed, Freyʼs black hair had returned once more.

His features remained the same, but he looked more like the Frey of old ... his former self.

He sat, gazing quietly at the window that appeared before him.

Executioner: Vlad

Affection Points: -50

Vlad despises you. He sincerely wishes for your death.

Frey smiled… then sighed.

He had one more thing to worry about now, alongside his achievement points.

The system ... The new second-level system had brought him many perks ...many new abilities.

But it also seemed like it was going to toy with him more than the first one ever did.

Frey remained seated, awaiting his release, analyzing the system that now governed him.

And at the very bottom, one new section stood out:

[Quests]

A new final quest had appeared.

But its content…

Final Quest: ???

It was blank.

Just like Frey himself.

Empty.

Utterly empty.
