The gruesome scene was indescribable, so brutal that the world fell silent witnessing the torture Nagasawa inflicted on Ethan before the transmission magic was completely blocked by Morgana.
Nagasawa tried every manner of thing with her poisons, injecting them into every part of Ethan's body, causing him to overflow with boiling acid throughout his flesh.
His eyes were gouged out and received corrosive acid, his ears were filled with an extremely toxic poison.
His mouth was filled with burning poison, which melted everything it touched, including flesh. It was one of the worst scenes anyone could witness and hear; so much so that those who were transmitting took care to block the audio so no one would hear the torturous sounds of Ethan's existence being extinguished.
But if all that wasn't enough, his limbs were frozen and cut into thousands of pieces and then fully healed afterward.
Dante cared about nothing, or no one. He just wanted Ethan to suffer in the worst possible way, in a way that he himself would forget he existed and that he was ever someone, just for Dante to remind him of what he did.
Ethan's mind, his sanity, had already been corroded by despair; he just wanted one thing.
"Kill me," he pleaded on his knees after the tenth torture session, which Nagasawa managed, but did she care? Of course not.
"Kill you? You must have forgotten, but I remember all too well spending four months buried alive after your disagreement with my husband," Nagasawa said, holding Ethan by the neck and lifting him as her sharp nails injected more poison into his neck.
"Do you think I would forget? The Ten-Year Pain Causer, a damn conspirator who got my husband killed?" She questioned, Ethan's eyes were already red as the poison rose to his head.
Despite the lack of air, he continued to plead, ignoring the pain and making his appeals. "I was- was- wrong," he tried, but... his arm was torn off by a stake of demonic power.
"You should have thought of this before committing so many sins," Dante said, appearing behind Nagasawa and embracing her.
"Are you feeling better?" Dante lovingly questioned as Nagasawa pouted at him. "Still need to punish you!" She said angrily, after all, she was really angry with Dante.
"Aw," Dante pouted and remarked, "Are you really going to deny this husband who was brought back just for you?" Dante questioned before receiving a punch...
Boom.
Dante flew over ninety meters and slammed into a pillar, falling and looking directly at the ground.
"Is she overreacting?" Vex said seeing that scene, Velryna, who had now finally returned, looked at Dante. "Tsk, idiot," she said annoyed, of course, she wouldn't like to share him with them!
"Jealous," Aaralyn said, seeing Velryna's angry face. "Shut up!" She quickly replied and Aaralyn shrugged; then Sara's sweet voice came to their ears.
"Morgana," Voralith said, turning to face Morgana. "What's your situation with Dante?" Morgana was quick, and Voralith replied, "Professional, I don't want to be just another one of you." She spoke disdainfully, something that... drew everyone's attention to her, and no look was positive.
'Irrational women,' she thought, seeing Morgana, Sara, Vex, Aaralyn, and Velryna staring at her, with eyes that clearly said "One more insult and you die."
She knew all of them, knew every situation and why they fell in love with Dante, for God's sake! She was the closest person to Dante, she knew everything, even his reincarnation, twice! All because she read Dante's memories through the spiritual connection, and talked with Dante for all ten years; even so... she didn't care about sentimentality.
"This is a warning," Morgana said, looking deep into Voralith's eyes. "If you don't want to stand by him, leave." She said, as irrational as always, not even knowing that... Voralith is probably the smartest person in the sector, not only intelligent but... The Strongest.
"You're making a big mistake, Sister of Arthur Pendragon," Voralith said, and Morgana's whole body trembled. "How do yo-" Morgana couldn't finish, but just those words left Morgana completely paralyzed...
"That's enough." Dante's voice emerged, grabbing Morgana from behind. "Enough of being possessive, Evil Witch." Dante said, kissing Morgana's neck which almost melted at Dante's touch.
"Eldrax thinks this perverted witch is just like Vex!" The Dragon Girl said, catching everyone's attention.
"I told you not to call anyone that!" Dante spoke quickly, and then... he forgot... "But Daddy!" She said...
Do I really need to narrate what comes next? Well... It wasn't very well accepted.
"DANTE!!" Morgana, Sara, and Nagasawa, who appeared at the scene... Didn't take this very well and started a big argument that would easily last for days.
As the argument began, another person was having a bad moment... Ethan's body no longer had the strength to rise; unfortunately, his end after a careless act by Dante arrived... Dante didn't heal him, and the acidic venom began to corrode his entire body.
His death was just... Pathetic.
Even his enemy gave up fighting against him, overshadowing his existence and trampling it with all the force they could muster. Even in the end, he was miserable.
His life slipped away, due to his greed; he lost absolutely everything, and not even a memorable death he had, that... crushed his soul.
His eyes closed, I can't say he rested in peace, but the pain ended... At least he found that.
"Hey, wake up," he received a kick, after hearing a female voice. When he opened his eyes, he was bound by chains of black miasma.
"The Master asked me to take care of you, so I'll take you to hell personally! Be happy that my master has left you conscious and preserved your memory, feelings, and such! Welcome to the Sanctuary!" She said excitedly. Who was this demon?
Evangeline, the Sin of Greed... Was taking care of Ethan in Hell, turning him into a "Test Soul".
