Theos smiled. “I'm the master of Theos Island.”
Warren screamed, “You're Theos!”
Upon snapping out of his shock, he fled without delay.
After all, he and Erebus had been collecting Spirit Stones so the Guardian of Mount Kush could construct the Soul Pinion Formation to trap and enslave Theos.
It was only natural for him to react like that.
Unfortunately, after Warren took one step away, he stopped. His movements were sealed as though he was trapped in a concrete block.
Unsurprisingly, it was Theos using spiritual energy to trap him.
Theos sneered, “You don't have my permission to slip away. Now, answer my questions honestly, or I shall grant you a pain worse than death. First question, why did you all come to Theos Island?”
“I don't know! I really don't!” Warren exclaimed. “The Guardian of Mount Kush and my master brought me here! I didn't want to come, but they forced me to! I've no idea what they're planning!”
“Lying to me, hmm?” Calmly, Theos snapped his finger, thrusting spiritual energy into Warren's nostrils.
As the spiritual energy wormed into Warren's body, it burned his internal organs like sulfur.
Needless to say, it was an agonizing experience.
Warren thought he was about to die from the pain.
His willpower instantly crumbed as he pleaded, “I'll tell you everything I know! Please... Ah, it hurts! Stop! Let me go! I'm going to die!”
Theos removed his spiritual energy from Warren's body.
Even still, the pain lingered in Warren's body as he sobbed, “The Guardian of Mount Kush and Elder Erebus wants to capture you and steal the Fortuna you swallowed. This is their plan. It has nothing to do with me. I've never helped them do anything that'll hurt you.”
Theos scoffed, “They can't defeat me even if they work together!”
