Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 859 Drastic measures

859 Drastic measures

It was either that Scar wasn't threatening enough or they had already prepared themselves for death when they came on this mission.

And it seemed like it was the latter.

After all, it wasn't as if Scar was that kind of a person.

The face that he had was definitely not one that could put children to sleep. It was more likely that children would burst out into tears if they saw the face that he had.

So he was definitely a person that could put pressure on whoever he said this to.

The fact that they weren't afraid must mean that they had already prepared for death.

But were the dark elves that loyal?

No, I knew for a fact that the dark elves were not that loyal and they were nothing more than hired mercenaries for the demons. They only cared about their own race after being cast away by the elves, so it wasn't as if they cared about the demons.

If it wasn't for the fact that the demon's territory was the only place that they could live after being corrupted by the demonic energy, they wouldn't have even interacted with the demons at all.

So there was no way that the elves would be so loyal that they would give up their lives just to remain silent.

That meant that there had to be another reason…

Seeing that they didn't respond, Scar had one of the elite guards bring one of the dark elves over.

He had the elite guard push the dark elf onto his knees and then he brought his sword up to the neck of the dark elf. He held this sword over the neck of the dark elf, as if he was about to decapitate him.

Then looking at the rest of the dark elves, Scar said, "If you don't talk, we'll start executing you one by one."

Once again, none of the dark elves said a thing.

Even the dark elf who had a sword at his neck didn't say a single thing.

He just looked down with a firm and calm look as if he had already accepted his death.

Scar deeply knitted his brows when he saw this.

He was someone who had worked in this kind of business for a long time, so it could be said that he was someone with experience and a good eye for people. He knew what kind of things would break a person easily and what kind people wouldn't break.

These elves were the kind of people that wouldn't break.

It was clear that there was something that they held faith in that allowed them to keep their silence. He had no idea what that thing was, but he knew that it was strong enough that he couldn't break them no matter what kind of torture he used.

But it was too late for him to back down now or else he would lose all authority that he had over these dark elves. So the only thing that he could do now was go through with the threat that he made.

The sword started moving down on the neck of the dark elf and there was red that could be seen.

The dark elf finally showed a trace of emotion on his face when he felt this, but there was only a slight wince of pain that resulted from the sword cutting into his neck. Other than that, it didn't seem like there was any other reaction from the dark elf.

"Stop."

Before Scar could finish cutting the dark elf's head off, I suddenly spoke.

He looked at me with a surprised look, but there was what seemed to be a trace of relief in his eyes that appeared as well.

As if he was glad that I had stopped him from killing the dark elf.

However, it wasn't as if I had stopped him from killing the dark elf because I noticed the bind that he was in. Rather, I stopped him because I knew that it was pointless, so there was something else that I wanted to try.

In the game, there was a system where one could capture enemies, but the system for torturing the enemies was different from what we were doing now…

Because the game was a H-game, there was a specific way to torture enemies to get information from them.

It was the kind of torture that might seem inhumane, but it was very effective.

If this world was based on the game world, then this method would have the same efficacy. The only problem was how everyone would look at me when it was all over.

Or rather, the one that I was the most worried about was Cecilia.

Once I stopped Scar, I gave a nod to him as if telling him to follow me before turning around to walk away.

The elite guards looked at me with confused looks, but they didn't move from their position of watching over the guards.

The only other one that came over was Cecilia because I had also given her a look.

Once we had moved to the side, I looked at Scar and said, "I want to use some drastic measures."

Scar and Cecilia were surprised to hear this since this was the last thing that they expected me to say.

They had been expecting me to say that we should find another way or we should use the crystals to force them to speak, but they never expected me to mention drastic measures.

Even if they didn't know what these 'drastic measures' were, they could see from the look on my face that they wouldn't be normal.

After a long silence, Scar said with a sigh, "You don't really have to tell us anything, you can just do what you want."

I didn't say anything as I kept looking at Cecilia.

Scar had a bitter smile on his face when he saw this, but he didn't say anything as he waited to see what Cecilia would say.

Cecilia was surprised to see me looking at her like this.

She couldn't even imagine what these drastic measures were that I would look at her like this, but in the end…

She just gave a simple nod.

I gave a nod as well before turning back to face the dark elves.

Wizards are really useless at level 1...
