Path To Godhood Begins With Marrying Wife And Gaining SSS Rank Skill - Chapter 448:Enslave Her
Chapter 448:Enslave Her
Mana flowed smoothly from his hand and synchronized with the formation.
The iron door unlocked slowly with a heavy metallic sound.
Cold air drifted outward as the door opened.
Inside, the prison chamber was small but heavily reinforced. Suppression arrays covered every wall and extended across the floor like glowing veins. Chains forged from enchanted alloy bound the demon girl tightly to a central pillar. Holy inscriptions flickered continuously, draining her remaining strength bit by bit.
Her head hung low.
Blood stained the corner of her lips.
Her breathing was weak but steady.
As Ethan stepped inside, her eyelids trembled slightly.
Amber remained near the entrance, watching carefully but choosing not to interfere.
Ethan stopped a few steps away from the prisoner and quietly observed her.
For several seconds, neither of them spoke.
Then her eyes slowly opened.
Dark pupils locked onto his blue gaze.
Hatred flickered within them, yet exhaustion weighed heavier.
“You…” she whispered hoarsely.
Ethan looked at her calmly.
“Who are you?”
The reason he had left her alive was simple. The power she carried felt unusual. It was similar to divine blessings like his own light authority. Killing someone connected to such power could invite unknown consequences or even attract stronger enemies.
The demon girl let out a faint, broken laugh.
“You should have finished me.”
Ethan tilted his head slightly.
“That would be a waste.”
Ethan tilted his head slightly.
“That would be a waste.”
Her lips curled weakly despite her condition.
“You think I will speak?”
Ethan crouched slightly so their eyes met at the same level.
“I think,” he replied calmly, “you will.”
“In your dreams,” she snorted weakly. “You can torture me as much as you want, but I will never tell anything.”
For a brief moment, silence filled the chamber again.
Then a faint playful grin appeared on Ethan’s lips.
“Don’t worry,” he said calmly. “I won’t torture you.”
Her brows tightened slightly, confusion flashing across her face.
“As for the information,” Ethan continued quietly, “you will reveal it yourself.”
The moment his words ended, his sleeve shifted slightly.A glowing stamp suddenly shot out from within his sleeve.
Seeing Ethan pull out a glowing stamp from his sleeve, the demon woman’s body trembled visibly.
Her breathing grew uneven and her eyes locked onto the object in his hand.
“What’s that?” she asked, her voice shaking despite her effort to sound steady.
Since it came from someone like Ethan, there was no way it was an ordinary artifact.
It had to be something dangerous.
Ethan did not answer immediately. He simply raised the stamp calmly and guided it with controlled mana.
The seal moved like living light.
Before she could react, it shot forward and struck directly onto her chest.
The rune expanded instantly.
Light spread across her body like chains made of glowing symbols. They sank into her skin and merged with her already suppressed mana.
Her eyes widened in shock.
“What… did you—”
The seal flared brightly.
Her vision blurred as a powerful force penetrated deeper.
This time, the stamp did not stop at her physical body.
It descended into her soul.
Inside her consciousness, the Soul Stamp manifested like a blazing mark of judgment. It moved steadily toward her soul sea, glowing with holy authority.
“No… You can’t do this!” she screamed.
Her body jerked violently against the enchanted chains.
She resisted with all her remaining strength, drawing upon every drop of demonic power she had left.
Within her soul sea, a dark blessing awakened.
A shadowy divine mark of the God of Darkness appeared, releasing thick waves of black energy that attempted to engulf and erase the invading seal.
Darkness surged upward like a storm.
For a brief moment, the Soul Stamp trembled.
Then—
Light erupted.
A burst of holy radiance exploded within her consciousness, shaking away the encroaching darkness. The divine mark cracked under the pressure as the light burned fiercely.
The darkness tried to fight back, but it was forced backward step by step.
The Soul Stamp descended relentlessly.
Then it struck.
The mark branded itself onto her soul directly.
“AAAAHHHHH!”
Her scream echoed through the chamber.
Her body convulsed violently as agony flooded her entire being. It was not physical pain, but something deeper. It felt as if invisible chains were tearing through her thoughts and binding her will.
She cursed Ethan endlessly.
“You bastard!”
“You filthy human!”
“You will be hunted!”
Every curse that left her mouth triggered violent backlash from the seal.
Invisible punishment surged through her body with each word, causing her to shudder and tremble uncontrollably. It felt as though something inside her was being ripped apart and restructured.
The more she resisted, the stronger the pain became.
Her breathing turned ragged and her screams gradually weakened.
The agony continued until she could no longer endure it.
Finally, her body went limp.
Her head dropped forward as unconsciousness claimed her.
Outside the chamber, Amber heard the horrifying screams echoing through the iron door.
She frowned slightly.
“What kind of torture is happening inside?” she murmured.
Curiosity overcame her restraint.
She stepped closer and carefully pressed her ear against the cold iron door, trying to hear more clearly.
At that exact moment—
CRANK.
The door opened abruptly.
Amber straightened immediately and almost stumbled back.
Ethan stood at the doorway, looking directly at her.
She froze for a second, then quickly looked away and blushed slightly.
“I didn’t mean to pry,” she said awkwardly.
Ethan simply smiled.
“It’s okay,” he replied calmly. “You can come inside. The work is done.”
Amber nodded and walked into the chamber.
She looked around carefully.
There were no visible wounds. No blood. No broken bones.
The demon woman was still chained to the pillar, breathing faintly but stable.
Amber frowned.
“This… did you heal her?”
Ethan shook his head lightly.
“I didn’t torture her. I just used a special trick to enslave her.”
Amber looked confused.
“Enslave her?”
Ethan’s expression remained calm.
“Once she opens her eyes, she will talk and cough out everything she knows.”
Amber slowly nodded as she glanced at the unconscious prisoner.
“That’s great.”
The chamber returned to silence, but this time the balance of control had completely shifted
