In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

"Oh, so you're really that angry?"

"But that's understandable, after all, you don't seem to have fully accepted the fall from heaven to hell yet..."

As soon as they entered this area, a palpable killing intent suddenly followed. Rita's demonic eyes were rapidly working, and a terrifying magical power was gathering in her radiant pupils.

However, just before it was about to erupt, the restrictions that Aozaki Touko had spent three days and three nights setting up throughout the room came into play in time.

The sacred scriptures engraved on the wall, along with the runes on the ground, simultaneously took effect, directly suppressing the churning magic in Rita's eyes. The intense pain from the subsequent backlash of the magic then contorted her beautiful face once more.

Her previously murderous expression, which looked like she wanted to leap out of the furnace like Sun Wukong, vanished completely, leaving only pain on her beautiful face.

"Ha ha……"

Aozaki Touko looked smug and then said sarcastically, "Don't waste your energy, you fool. After I modified the whole room, you can't escape. Even if you take back the Mystic Eye, it's useless if you can't activate it."

The only response she received was Rita's angry eyes.

Clearly, she had been watching what Aozaki Touko was doing all along, because this damned woman kept upgrading right in front of her.

When Loe had locked this guy in this special container, Aozaki Touko thought that without the Mystic Eyes and a physical body, even the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles wouldn't be able to cause any more trouble, and she almost let her guard down.

But just as she left and prepared to continue studying the Rose Eye that Lovi had given her, Aozaki Touko, who had just stepped outside, suddenly discovered something that horrified her.

The Rose Eyes, which were originally intact, had somehow transformed in her hands into a pair of bizarre shapes resembling rotten grapes. The magic power and the color that belonged to a gem-grade magic eye had all disappeared, leaving it as nothing more than a rotting eyeball.

This frightened her so much that she rushed back to check the situation.

She was shocked by what she found out.

Rita, who had been unable to see anything because her eyes had been gouged out by Lovi, somehow managed to grow her own eyes back, and the light and patterns shimmering within them were none other than the Rose Demon Eyes she had lost.

This unexpected situation startled Aozaki Touko, but at the same time, she felt a sudden sense of relief.

Fortunately, she noticed it in time, sensing the anomaly before Rita had even retrieved her Mystic Eyes and was using them without any magical power. Otherwise, the situation would have been much worse.

So Aozaki Touko quickly devised her own countermeasures.

Following the knowledge taught to her by Lovi, she engraved the primordial runes symbolizing purification, the sun, and suppression on the top and bottom of the container, as well as around it, intending to suppress Rita's magic and immortality. Then, worried that it might not be safe, she called in Rafe from outside to help her think of a solution.

In response, Rafe's solution was very simple and straightforward.

Because he had been studying angels, there were quite a few things about the church in this workshop. He first poured several jars of holy water he had received from the Gabriel statue into the container imprisoning Rita. Then, he wrote down the scriptures for suppressing the dead apostles on the wall in a very serious manner, giving Rita, who had just regained consciousness, a lesson.

Originally, his body was rapidly recovering, but under the purification of the holy water, he kept emitting white smoke, which slowed down his recovery speed by several times. His magic eyes and the magic power on his body were also constantly suppressed by the runes and the scriptures of the church, so he could only watch helplessly as these two bastards started to lay hands on him.

Furthermore, fearing it might not be safe, Rafe placed four more stone statues of angels in the room to suppress her, putting her body in an even worse state of restraint, making her almost unable to move.

In this room at this moment, the angel statues, runes, and scriptures serve to suppress.

The holy water, however, was constantly harming her, preventing her from recovering.

This put Rita back in the same situation as when she was cut by Gabriel's water blade, her entire body constantly in—

Recovery, damage, recovery, damage...

The special state of constant interaction and endless cycles between these two factors makes it difficult to truly return to normal.

For the Dead Apostles, immersing their bodies in holy water was no different from submerging an ordinary person in sulfuric acid. So, at this moment, Rita was enduring the torture of purification, and the constant burning sensation made her mind even clearer.

Once in this state, even Rita couldn't help but start cursing and questioning the two bastards, "Where is this? Isn't this the Clock Tower? How come you have so many church-related things?!"

Rafe was somewhat embarrassed by this.

Not just Rita, he also felt that the church atmosphere here was indeed too strong.

Moreover, putting aside everything else, the religious knowledge he crammed for in order to study angels was more than enough for him to become a qualified priest in the church.

However, it was precisely because of this that he did not feel flustered when facing the patriarch of the Dead Apostles, but simply confined him to this place.

Unfortunately, restrictions are just restrictions after all.

Although this situation seems perfect, Rita's body's repair speed has indeed been suppressed.

However, the actual situation is still far from optimistic.

It was only after witnessing this situation firsthand that Aozaki Touko understood why the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles instilled such fear in so many people.

The terrifying power these monsters possess is one aspect, but what's even more astonishing is their unreasonable regenerative ability.

Even under the continuous damage from the holy water, as well as the suppression from the scriptures and runes, the thing inside the container was still able to continue to regenerate its body.

The strange situation was more like evolution or adaptation. In any case, after being injured by the holy water thousands of times, this guy's body gradually adapted to the environment inside the container.

The holy water that was originally enough to make her feel terribly uncomfortable is now only enough to make Rita feel slightly unwell. She will probably be able to face it calmly soon.

This means that she is still constantly adapting to the external environment, and even her physical body has evolved as a result.

Just as a virus gradually develops antibodies against a certain drug, this guy actually developed immunity to the holy water.

This is absolutely outrageous.

Have the Dead Apostles adapted to the holy water?

If this were told to others, probably no one would believe it.

Even the representatives of the Holy Church would likely find this situation particularly challenging.

If it weren't for the continuous suppression from the container and the scriptures, this guy's recovery of his body would have been much faster than what he's showing now; he might have been able to restore his entire damaged body within a week.

Once this creature regains its limbs, the container will no longer be able to imprison her.

After all, he could break the container from the inside, and the physical strength of the Ancestor of the Dead Apostles was not to be underestimated.

That's why Aozaki Touko stayed here all this time to conduct research and kept a close eye on her.

If any unexpected event were to occur, Rafe would immediately summon Rowe and, without hesitation, use the complete, mysterious underground spell to suppress this terrifying individual once again, and propose handing him over to the church for handling.

……

"How are you? Are you settling in well here, Miss Rita?"

Looking at Rita, who was still completely unable to move due to her restricted power and unrecovered body, and could only glare at him with her eyes, Rowe greeted him once again.

"Have you missed me after a few days?"

"Heh, say whatever you want. The victor is king, and the loser is villain. You are the winner now. No matter what I say, it will only make me look worse."

“However… don’t think that one defeat will make me give in. I admit, Crowley, you’re stronger now! Even if I go out and fight you again, I’ll still be the one who loses. But even so, I won’t obediently let you control me and willingly become your collection.”

With her newly grown throat, Rita regained her voice and spoke a cold tone to Rowe. Although her voice was still weak, her attitude was resolute, and the will within it was unwavering.

This was her last shred of dignity. Leaving aside the fact that she, as the progenitor of the Dead Apostles, had lost to humans, being killed or dismembered could at least be excused by the excuse of inferior skill. But becoming a prisoner was the most humiliating thing that had ever happened to her.

Her current experience of being submerged in the container reminded her of the demonic eyes that were soaked in jars.

Now, in order to preserve her last shred of self-respect, Rita can only express her determination to fight to the end in this way.

"Um...didn't you start it yourself? Why are you acting like the victim?"

Hearing her words, Luo Wei felt as if he were the villain. He turned to Aozaki Touko beside him and asked, "Has this girl's brain been soaked in holy water?"

"Hmm...maybe. He's been yelling ever since his throat started to recover. I'm so tired of hearing it."

Aozaki Touko waved her hand helplessly.

Rita: "..."

"Alright, alright, since that's the case, then let's say you have the will to fight to the end."

Luo Wei stroked his chin, then gave her a meaningful smile before continuing, "But do you think I'll have the patience to play along with you forever? A defeated opponent who was captured on his own train, where does he get the confidence to think he can escape from my territory?"

"You, who have lived for so many years, are still inferior to me in terms of magical cultivation, and I am far from reaching the true peak. I will become even stronger, and when you emerge, you will be met with an even more utter defeat. Let me tell you, the Four Archangels reside beneath this workshop. Do you think you can escape?"

"So what? I should just give up and resign myself to being your plaything?"

Rita said with a resentful expression.

"Well, if you cooperate, it's not certain that I'll turn it into a formal dress... We can talk about it."

"You bastard... you actually had such a plan..."

Rita Roggean gritted her teeth, her words revealing the hatred she had been holding back.

Especially her attitude when hearing Lo Wei's evaluation of her, just like how she treated the collected Mystic Eyes, was completely like that of someone who viewed things as possessions.

"Isn't that obvious? After all, as one of the twenty-seventh ancestors of the Dead Disciples, you are one of the few best test subjects in the world."

"After I've finished researching the secrets hidden within you, I'll probably try to erase all your memories and instill in you a sense of loyalty to me, just like you did to those androids on the train in the past."

Luo Wei stroked his chin, pondering as he continued, "To have a Dead Apostle Twenty-Seven Ancestor as your heirloom, just thinking about it is a luxury... It's much more prestigious than things like the Fantasy Species."

"Do you really think you can do it?"

Rita remained defiant, refusing to believe that mere brainwashing magic could cause any irreversible damage to her body.

"Of course, if that's not possible, there are other ways, such as: making hundreds of millions of copies of the videotape that insults you to the extreme, and then distributing them to all the families in the mystical world for the world to enjoy. I remember you're quite concerned about your own honor, aren't you? As for what constitutes the ultimate insult..."

Lovi continued to approach, and then whispered in Rita's ear.

Rita's eyes widened suddenly at that moment, because the description was so terrifying that she forgot to speak.

So what do you think?

Lo Wei still had a smile on his face.

When it comes to dealing with a tough nut like Rita, Lovi actually has a way.

And it's definitely more cruel than killing her.

Don't be fooled by this guy's tough attitude; he's all talk and no action. He always keeps the initiative in his own hands, and he has plenty of ways to make this guy completely submit.

Aren't you immortal? If you can withstand physical damage, what about mental damage?

"I think Miss Rita Roggean, you wouldn't want the whole world to see you like that, would you?"

"And who knows if the other members of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostles will kick you out to preserve the dignity of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostles after seeing you like that? Oh dear, it's really hard to guess."

"You, you bastard..."

At this moment, Rita Rojaan's expression finally changed.

She was not afraid of death, because even if she died, she had a way to be resurrected. Even if she couldn't be resurrected in the end, it would just be an eternal slumber.

However, what Luo Wei mentioned was something she absolutely could not accept, because it was a thousand times more terrifying to her than death.

Throughout her life, she maintained her honor and dignity as a noblewoman.

Even if she was humiliated by the White Winged Duke and despised by Eltrucci, she could grit her teeth and continue to be strong. However, she absolutely could not accept being seen by the whole world and being insulted by humans.
