Easier

Elizabeth's eyes widened as she played what Hestia had just said in her mind over and over again in complete shock and fear

"hahahaha, calm down I can kill you but that doesn't mean I will, Haha you were so scared...so cute" Hestia said as she mocked Elizabeth

Hestia turned around and faced Apep

"You sure took your sweet time all these years not even replying to any letters or messages how kind of you!" Apep said sarcastically

"Hahahahaha...I was busy and besides you don't deserve my time anyways" she teased as she stuck her tongue out childishly

Hestia and Apep bickered for a while but eventually they dived into silence

"So what am I doing here I know that Sirus died and that his daughter is here but what do you want me here for? you said it was urgent" Hestia said as she broke the deadly silence

Apep smirked before a note came out of his space ring and landed on the edge of his desk which he pointed at in a way to insist that she read it

But his kind gesture was not needed due to Hestia immediately moving and grabbing the note before Apep had time to put his hand back under his chin

After a few seconds she looked up at Apep

"So you're the girl's master and I-" she stopped there she didn't wanna complete her sentence but she quickly continued

"I am his daughters master"

She was forced to except it. it wasn't like Sirus was there to Force her but due to some guilt and the need to repay him she forced herself to except Elizabeth as her disciple although she seemed unrestrained it was obvious that she cared about morals

If Enopy were to see this he would feel disgust he had abided by the rules in his previous life he had cared and cherished morals, but in the end he was betrayed and left in the dust only to be turned into a slave because he cared about those morals, so they were the last thing that he would think of in this life at least if it weren't for some gains

Elizabeth was slightly in shock but that quickly cleared up as she listened to their bickering and the shocked expression that was plastered onto Hestia's arrogant face

"hahahaha…."the usually calm and collected Apep laughed hysterically as he stared at Hestia's shocked face

But this made her slap on her arrogant expression but it held a hint of anger

"OK, then….wow! Elizabeth Ace I am your new master! Hestia Chid" she announced loudly it seemed that she was proud of this but a hint of hesitation could be heard within her voice

Elizabeth tried to Forget about Hestia's spine shaking comment but she couldn't as fear kept on appearing in her m, but she put on a fake smile that anyone could look through

Be calm, I won't hurt you" Hestia said in a soothing tone as the hesitation in her voice disappeared and concern took over it was obvious that despite her aloofness she had a care for her own blood

....

Athel was only a few steps from the bottom about 10

He walked quickly and calmly as he stopped for about three minutes on each step and got used to the new pressure

He quickly stepped onto the last step

The pressure on that step was more heavier than the one that came before, it was different, it was as if the pressure multiplied by three so it took him about 20 minutes to get used to it

He was so excited that he succeeded so he jumped onto the flat black ground

"Boom…..CrAck, CrAck!….ahgggghhh…."

He was instantly slammed into the ground, his kneecaps shattered as blood spilled out of his legs he screamed and cried in pure pain

...

Kolitis was floating around in The third branch as he looked around Boardly, but suddenly beeps resounded from his square like watch on his wrist

He pressed on it in and a holographic screen shined off of it

It showed Athel weeping and screaming loudly, and besides it was a few words saying

0: Extreme Blood loss

"humm?" Colitis seemed more intrigued then alerted at the situation but he suddenly disappeared and moments later he could be seen standing in front of the boy

"Here drink this, he put a bottle in the boys hand and let him drink it

He continue to weep as he flexed his arm to the maximum using whatever kind of horse he had to move the bottle towards his mouth he struggled for multiple minute while he continued to weep and his arm moved incredibly slow towards his mouth but he was able to get it between his teeth and chug it down in 1 gulp

Soon the sound of bones cracking resounded throughout the area and it was not one minute later before he was able to stand but he was still being crushed into the ground kolitis quickly picked him up by the collar and placed him down on a step

"Good, good, now you have to go back up should be easier this time, kolitis said with no mercy he didn't wait for Athel to say anything because he instantly disappeared and left the stairway

Athel looked around quickly it was obvious that the stairway was I was in a tall pillar that led to nowhere

But he didn't think about it too much as he quickly went back up the steps it was The same as what kolitis said it was way easier than before

Athel instantly cleared about 50 steps he would probably make it back up there by the next day but he knew that he would have to fight the hologram again, but now he was stronger and his defined physique gave him confidence that couldn't be crushed easily

He was slightly embarrassed due to him just weeping and crying a second ago but he Put it behind him and looked forward at his next threat
