"What are you saying?!" Modway clutched his lower body, almost fainting.
"Want to know?" Latis crouched down, reaching out to absorb the pain from Modway's body. Watching his legs gradually recover, he grabbed them again and tore them open.
"I won't tell you," he grinned.

[The King of Torture's Wine Cellar: Current Stock 2/3]
Latis looked at the prompt that appeared before him, stood up, looked at Modway who was barely breathing, and scratched his head.
He thought he could exploit a bug to fill the wine cellar again, but after several rounds of torment, Modway only contributed 2/3 of the stored wine, and his life force rapidly declined.
It seems that the Torture King's mechanism is not an infinite loop of energy acquisition as he imagined, but rather that absorbing pain and healing the wounded consumes his life essence, which is why this person died so quickly.
"It seems this can't be used as a regular treatment... I wonder how many times my life force can heal my injuries, or if it will drain me dry someday..."
As Latis pondered this, he suddenly heard a familiar voice from not far away.
"Plant Guardians!"
At the same time, information about the technique appeared before his eyes.
[Third Ring Race Spell - Plant Guardian: Grants the plants in the casting area a transformation into attack/defense/transport forms, autonomously performing the corresponding functions for the duration.]
"It's Ate!"
Without glancing at anything else, he swung his long legs and dashed off in that direction.
"Second brother, your eldest brother is here!"
……
"I hope the child is alright... The magical puppets are still chasing us, and that child absolutely cannot travel with me... But why is a child from the Kolichu tribe stranded outside, and even hanging out with the Black Hat Sorcerer?"
Artemis thought to herself, and the next moment, she used an acceleration spell to retreat at top speed, creating wisps of mist.
The flickering soul flames lit up in the clouds, which rolled and tumbled in the shape of the flames before gradually dissipating.
"What's with this cloud of mist? There seemed to be signs of a magical clash just now. Could there have been some kind of battle? No, I need to get out of this dangerous place as soon as possible. My mana is running low... I'll just use the plant guardian I managed to inscribe earlier."
Artemis's grimoire began to move automatically without wind, and at the same time, she began to recall the recipe for Plant Guardian.
"The blood of higher organisms with plant affinity comes from me; the blood of higher organisms with animal affinity comes from that child; the opposing elements that collide with each other, a burning piece of ice, and finally, the mutated biological tissue, also come from that child..."
She sighed, then shouted loudly with a resolute look in her eyes:
"Plant Guardians!"
The withered vines on the ground instantly burst open and swelled, twisting and coiling into a giant vine spider. At that very moment, the invincible steel greatsword slashed horizontally towards them at lightning speed, striking the spider hard!
However, the magical puppet miscalculated. The plant guardians, attacking in defensive form, were tough and difficult to deal with. The greatsword was only cut through the surface layer of vines, and the deep dent instantly recovered. The menacing vines surged out and bound the greatsword within.
The vine spider's mouthparts twitched, seemingly mocking the pointless cutting.
It suddenly attacked, spitting out a spider web made of vines that tightly bound the magic puppet. Then, a strange mouthpart sprouted from the soil, quickly extending to the front of the magic puppet and spewing out a huge amount of acid.
Noisy!
The magical golem's bony skin was slowly corroded, the magic immunity solidification array lost its integrity, and the gray light dissipated with a mournful cry.
The spider squeaked and wiggled its vines, intending to further stimulate the plant's potential, when suddenly the soil beneath it shifted, and it looked in surprise at the already dilapidated magic puppet.
The soul fire in the magic golem's compound eyes burned low. It grabbed the trailing end of the greatsword and pulled it up, along with its roots, to its front amidst the restlessness of the vine spiders.
It gripped the hilt of the greatsword, and the soul fire in its eyes began to flicker in a human-like manner.
Magical puppets are not just good at close combat!
boom!
A dim, enormous beam of light burst forth from the vine spider's body, reaching straight into the sky and shattering the cloud formations.
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the chaotic battlefield involuntarily came to a standstill for a moment.
Necromantic magic?
Mitu could only guess the spell used by the newcomer from the desolate magical fluctuations. Necromantic spells were not recorded in the magic network, and even though she was a cyber police officer with authority, she could not find any trace of their existence.
"It's it!" the demon shouted, looking at the now-cleared battlefield, gritting his teeth as he yelled:
"Use that extremely effective interdimensional oath! It can summon at least the power of a demon lord!"
Artemis fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. It was some kind of necromancy that could cause such severe damage to the caster of the summoned creature. Now she was completely exhausted, and even her previous wounds had almost all burst open.
"Latis, brother, goodbye... Thank you for those brief encounters with you. I haven't felt that joy since I left home..."
Her gaze dimmed as she looked at the magical puppet slowly approaching, carrying a massive cannon, the unknown creature behind it that stretched out a giant hand from a dimensional rift, and the sixth-ring magic core she sensed about to self-destruct. She slowly closed her eyes.
"It's good to be young, just fall asleep."
Suddenly, a familiar voice appeared in her ear.
Artemis instinctively opened her light blue eyes and looked at Latis, whose head was hovering above her line of sight.
He grinned, and she couldn't help but squint, feeling that even with him blocking the sunlight, the sky was still dazzling today.
"Artemis, are you sleepy?" Latis scratched his head, stroked his chin, and straightened up as he spoke.
"My little brother is going to have a nice sleep now, so all of you better be quiet."
Then he snapped his fingers and said:
"Spell Nullification Barrier".
With a crisp snap of his fingers, all the surging magical energy instantly fell silent, and all spells, whether flying in the air, falling to the ground, or still in hand, vanished in that instant.

"The magic failed?!"
The demon trembled all over, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.
"He...he's not some damn warrior, he's a powerful mage of at least the sixth ring!"
The demon looked at the two or three remaining defeated soldiers around him, then at his depleted magical artifact inventory, swallowed hard, and deflated in dejection.
"So he was just playing us all along, and now he's caught us..."
……
[Sixth Ring Spell - Spell Nullification Barrier: Omitted]
[Cyber Police - I'm selling groin in Atlantis (Latis) #Online]
Information about the spell and the caster appeared before Mitu's eyes. She felt her magical core being forced to calm down and let out a long breath.
"He's my colleague... He's so powerful? A spell-nullifying barrier... it seems to be one of the spells that the magic network hasn't yet granted access to!"
She touched the violent pounding of her heart against her broad chest, only then belatedly realizing that her entire body was soaked in sweat from the fear of death.
"Wow, that's wonderful, I'm still alive..."
Mitu slumped to the ground, cupping her sweaty face in her hands and wiping away the tears that streamed down her face from her excitement.
"Latis... selling groin? Groin... Come to think of it, that name sounds familiar?"
In her relief at surviving the ordeal, Mitu suddenly remembered what she had seen in the beacon group earlier, and quickly connected to the magic network to check her private image library.
"It really is him! Didn't they say 'Brother Gouzi' was just an apprentice? How could this be..."
She looked at Latis carefully, then suddenly gasped and covered her face, lowering her head.
"He seems to be more handsome than those other people's drawings..."
Mitu subconsciously touched the tear in her pantyhose, which had widened during the battle, and couldn't help but shyly clutch the pantyhose to cover herself.
"Damn it, how am I supposed to meet my new colleagues like this?!"
……
The silenced magic slowly subsided.
The powerful affinity with magic elements made Latis clearly feel that the magic elements, like tamed wild horses, bowed their heads and knelt on the ground.
At the boundary where the smoke and dust had cleared, the wind blew his flowing hair, and also poured into the milky smudges on his straw robe.
Why is it so quiet? Are they all intimidated by that guy's massive pectoral muscles?
Latis opened his eyes from his self-absorption and then saw the Demon Lord with his throat stuck by the forcibly closed dimensional portal.
"Heh, heh heh..." The hideous creature with ram horns struggled to pry open the dimensional portal, emitting suffocating groans. Its eyes rolled back and its tongue lolled out, making it look extremely undignified.
"Damn it, don't do a suffocation play in public!"
Latis abruptly covered Atelius's eyes with a snap, and said without blinking:
"Oh no, it's R18G! Little sprites can't watch this!"
Artemis didn't try to remove his hand. Instead, she felt the warmth of his hand, smiled faintly, and said with feigned displeasure:
"Big brother, I'm not a little elf anymore!"
"Are you the older brother or am I the older brother!" Latis laughed heartily. Although Arte's voice was as deep as ever, this vitality showed his vigorous life force, and he could finally rest assured.
……
"Damn it, this guy's laughing way too loudly!"
In the Demon Lord's suffocating mind, only this sentence remained.
It felt a surge of angry heat coursing down its spine, from its tailbone all the way to its brain, sweeping away its reason and forcing it into its internal circulation, rushing to its kidneys, to its bladder, to its prostate, and then…
"Holy crap, something's pouring out of the dimensional portal! Arte, use your invincible Appraisal skill to take a look!"
"Hmm, it looks like... the Demon Lord's excrement?"
"Did it pee?"
"...You could say that...Wait, brother, what are you going to do!"
"Oh, I was just, uh, wondering if this thing could be sold for money, I mean, whether it could be used as a magical material or something."
"No, that won't do! Usually, the parts that can be used as materials are organs or tissues, this won't do! Brother, absolutely not!"
