Chapter 223: The Amazon tribe - part 3
With an exasperated sigh, Octavia stared at the captured enemy, raging at the idea that the woman dared to oppose her master and lord.
"Master, I believe you should just rape her into submission, then kill her. Or maybe cut off her arms and legs, and keep her as a sex toy if you find her pussy to be useful." She said with a cruelty in her tone that shocked Shin.
Hopefully, Octavia’s opinion was not unanimous, and Materna quickly interfered, saying it would be better to act more reasonably. She wanted to at least try talking with the Amazonian girl first.
Shin let out a slow breath, grateful for Materna’s reasonable intervention. "She’s right," he said. "We talk first; we are on foreign territory, remember. And we need information."
Madea nodded in approval of Shin’s words. Moara simply shrugged, her lustful gaze lingering on the captured girl a moment longer before she turned away with disinterest, clearly unbothered by whichever path they chose.
All the bimbo Sucubus was thinking right then was how good it would be if Madea used her spell to bind her, so Shin could fuck her really hard.
Materna’s heated smile widened, but she kept her hands open and non-threatening as she took a tentative step toward the Amazon warrior.
"Please, would you introduce yourself for us?" The milf succubus asked with a maternal tone. "We are not your enemies."
The captured woman didn’t give a positive answer at first. Instead, she looked away in disdain and spat at Materna’s feet, prompting Medea to tighten the bindings with a satisfied smile.
"Grrr! Fuck!" the Amazonian warrior groaned in pain as the vines constricted around her arms and legs, digging deeper into her skin.
Meanwhile, Shin stepped back, and almost instantly Lilel appeared, landing on his shoulder. She had already guessed he wanted to speak with her.
"So, what do you think? Can you make it work?" Shin asked. "Can you make her Goddess Mark react as you did with Lara’s?"
His eyes drifted back to the captured Amazon.
Unlike Lara’s, her mark wasn’t visible on the back of her hand. Despite the tanned woman’s incredibly revealing clothing, her loincloth barely concealed the heart-shaped tattoo hidden around her crotch. The mark remained completely invisible to ordinary eyes.
That, however, wasn’t a problem for Lilel. The clever fairy had already begun analyzing the rune, carefully examining its structure while searching for a way to manipulate it.
"It’s similar to Lara’s case, but..." Lilel clicked her tongue in annoyance. "It’s much more complicated. I’m not sure, but I think I can make it work if you give me more time. It’s still just a gamble, though."
"I see..." Shin nodded thoughtfully.
If Lilel had told him it was impossible, he would have immediately ordered the girls to retreat and run back into the forest, hoping to find the dungeon once again. If the Amazon tribe truly turned against them, they could easily hunt down and kill both him and his small succubus army.
But he was willing to bet on a "maybe," especially because he trusted Lilel’s abilities.
"In that case, it’s convenient that we captured one of them," he finally said with a shrug. "I’ll try to buy us as much time as possible while you study the mark. Don’t worry about anything else. Just focus on that."
"Roger!" Lilel replied with a bright smile, giving him an exaggerated military salute.
She spun excitedly around Shin’s body, clearly thrilled by the mission she had been entrusted with. The tiny fairy knew that if she failed, Shin would be in serious trouble. She also knew she had very little time. The pressure only made the eccentric researcher even more excited, pushing her mind to work at full speed.
A moment later, Lilel vanished from sight. Turning herself invisible, she slipped directly into the Goddess Mark to examine it from within.
Shin then shifted his attention back to the others.
Materna kept the Amazon tightly restrained with her enchanted vines while Medea calmly adjusted the spell, making the bindings tighten whenever the prisoner resisted.
Octavia simply watched in silence, ready to heal the woman if the interrogation went too far, while Mora stood nearby with an impatient expression, clearly wishing she was the one being tortured.
Despite everything, the Amazon refused to lower her proud gaze. She glared defiantly at every one of them, enduring the pain without a scream, determined not to reveal anything.
Only after several more agonizing minutes did her resolve finally begin to crack.
"My name... is Run," she muttered through clenched teeth, breathing heavily.
Apparently, the interrogation had finally started to work.
"I told you my name," Run growled, lifting her chin despite the vines digging into her skin. "Don’t expect me to answer everything."
"We’ll decide what to expect," Medea replied coldly. "Now answer the question. Why did you attack us?"
Run let out a dry, mocking laugh.
"Because I’d never seen any of you before." She glanced from one face to another. Strangers are either invaders... or fools."
"So you attack every outsider on sight?" Shin asked, already knowing the answer.
"We make sure they don’t become a problem," Run answered without hesitation. "That’s how we’ve survived."
Materna frowned. "We came here without hostile intentions."
"That’s what everyone says," Run scoffed. "Doesn’t make it true."
Medea tightened the vines ever so slightly. "Enough games. Where is your village?"
Run remained silent for several seconds before clicking her tongue.
"...Northwest." She jerked her head toward the dense forest beyond the clearing. "Keep following the river until you reach the cliffs. You’ll find it there."
Shin narrowed his eyes. "Can you guide us there? You must know very well that foreigners like us would be completely unable to navigate properly on the complex rivers of these regions."
Run smiled for the first time since being captured, a proud, fearless smile.
"Of course, I would love to take all of you in there," Her amber eyes locked onto his. "Go ahead. Walk right into our village."
A low and confident chuckle escaped her lips.
"You’ll all die the moment you set foot there."
Shin let out a sigh; she was not lying. The Amazon would attack as soon as they saw them. Still, they would probably be captured, and if they could prove useful, their lives would be saved.
But Shin had no intention of letting this destiny happen.
"One more question: what were you hunting to end up so far from your village?"
Run’s eyes widened with the question, and she averted her gaze. It was obvious she had no intention of answering it this time.
"Let me guess, you queen needs a special medicine because of the Spectre?" Shin asked with a grin, and Run’s expression darkened.
