New law of Beast Taming

The flames reminded Amane of the past. The memories it invoked inside her heart were better left forgotten. The more she remembered, the more guilt made her heartache.

And it all started when Amane allowed her curiosity to get the best of her. And the divine guild took advantage of her authority.

'Humans are such a selfish and dull species. How can they entertain sitting around for hours and debating? I want to kill them all.'

Amane yawned as the divine guild pretended to conclude in the court. She had purposely gotten caught to experience what being detained was like.

But so far, she had been disappointed. Amane's cuffs restricted her magic, but she could break out of them any second.

The divine guild also tried to hold Kori hostage. However, Kori also complied with the divine guild because Amane cooperated with them. The divine guild did not realize how lucky they were.

"You have caused us too much damage. Most of our people are injured because they fought you. Do you have anything to say for yourself?"

Tired red eyes looked at the humans in front of her. Amane had a lack of will to live in recent days, but she did want to be treated better. These humans were testing her patience.

Thankfully, not all humans were as dumb as they pretended to be.

"Enough playing around. We will not conclude this. Mother, this creature might have caused us much damage, but we did bother it first. Maybe we are at fault here."

The vice leader of the divine guild confessed, causing his mother to glare at him angrily.

Another thing Amane noticed was human pride. It could often lead to dangerous situations for them. But some people let their satisfaction control them until they die.

"Amane, should I kill them all?"

Kori asked, trying to flex her cuffs open. The younger one could destroy this place in a heartbeat if she wanted to.

But Amane wanted to see what the human had in store for her. What made them confident enough to try to detain her?

"My son, you are a fool and far too compassionate person. These creatures you see in front of your eyes! They are not humans but monsters wearing human skin. The sooner you understand that, the better."

"And for you! You will not be spared either. If you think you can get away, then think again. You shall spend your time in the detention center, away from your powers and being helpful to us by being studied."

The leader of the divine guild passed her judgment. And that was the moment when Amane should have walked away.

But as expected, her authority was always the root of all her troubles. And this time was no different.

"You want to throw me in jail? Fine! I guess I will allow that this time. But are you sure you will not regret this decision?"

Amane asked, and the leader clenched her teeth in worry and annoyance. The divine leader did not like Amane's attitude.

"Do not insult me like this, you devil. Our god's power and authority are with us. Nothing can make us crumble if we have our go with us."

The divine leader confessed, only to cause Kori to laugh.

"Your goddess's power and authority are what you are counting on? After what you did to achieve that bond, do you think your goddess will help you in your time of need? Her power is crying out in pain and agony."

Kori's words hit the divine leader hard. Her hand shook in anger, but she refused to fall into Kori's trap.

"This is enough. Take them away to the detention center and throw them into the pits. There's no longer a need to show mercy."

The divine leader passed the judgment, and Amane allowed herself to be escorted out. She watched a small form peaking at her. A young Charlie looked fascinated, and she watched her grandmother and father fighting.

She was used to the scene. But she was not used to the radiating lady walking away from her. Something about this person was alluring to her.

Amane winked at the young child, making Charlie flustered. And, of course, the divine leader noticed this.

"You stupid child! Do you not realize what you are-"

The divine leader stalked her way toward Charlie and pulled on her ears. Maybe she beat up Charlie as well. But it was a secret only Charlie knew.

Amane never asked her adoptive daughter for such details, and Charlie never told her.

"Amane, do we need to comply with the humans? I do not like them and what they stand for. I think the world would be a better palace without humans."

Kori admitted as she was dragged along. Kori could have walked as fast as her jailer wanted her to. But she decided to be petty and slow down.

The jailer tried to make Kori walk faster, but she held her ground. Her strength far exceeded an average person's, and the man stopped.

"Kori, play nice. This of this as a play. We are going undercover to understand what makes these humans so arrogant. And, we cannot keep killing everyone we come across."

Amane reminded Kori, which made the younger one pout.

Their jailer did not appreciate this chit-chat because he yanked at Amane's chains to issue his warning. That turned out to be a detriment for the jailed. Amane did not bulge, but the jailer fell face-first on the ground.

"See Kori. Humans are so fragile that they get hurt by the most minor things imaginable. We must be delicate with them if we want them to be our toys for long."

Amane warned Kori, and the younger listened with full awareness.

On the other hand, their jailer had a humiliated and angry expression. He did not like that he had been made a fool of.

"You! Go inside now. I have had enough of you. I wonder how long you can keep your smile in prison."

The guard laughed and forced Amane to walk in. Amane noticed the upcoming fall, but the jailer had no intention of stopping. His motive was clear - to throw Amane and Kori down the hole.

'I see. So that is the actual jail. I can feel the anti-energy spell and ruins itched all over the place. That place might become troublesome if we remain there for too long.'

Amane doubted that humans had been able to build something this magnificent. She was sure that divine intervention helped them establish this place.

Or this could be an abandoned palace of a goddess that had been long abandoned.

Whatever the truth was, Amane knew this place to be troublesome—no wonder the divine guild had sounded so confident.

"Amane, this is…"

Kori sounded hesitant for the first time. And Amane shared her sentiment. This was troublesome and annoying.

"Ha! Not so high, and might you be now? I hope you like this hole because this will become your grave soon. Someone will be here to collect your blood sample tomorrow. Make sure you do not give them a hard time."

The jailer sneered before he pushed Amane down the hole. Amane allowed herself to be thrown down because she was curious about these depths.

It was pitch black down in the center. Amane's eyes could see the faintest outline of what made up this place.

And her eyes instantly moved up to a colossal body. It looked half human, but the lower half was reptilian. It hung from the chains, a pair of hands cuffed on top and another cuffed at the side.

The body was sagged, and it could not move. But Amane knew that this body was alive.

And worse, this body was a goddess like her.

It should have been easy for this goddess to break free of her chains and run away. If the goddess wanted to, she could even take revenge on the divine guild that captured her and bound her in these depths.

But the goddess did not seem to have any intentions of moving.

"Hey, are you alright? Are you dead? Can I take over your powers now?"

Kori asked as she reached out toward the unconscious goddess. Her divinity allowed her to absorb other's powers and make them her own.

It was a terrifying power, but Kori had no control over her appetite. That was why she had been abandoned right before her birth.

"Kori, that is not a polite thing to do. You should treat others respectfully if you want to be treated with respect."

Amane warned Kori and held her wrist back. She just saved this goddess from being swallowed whole.

Slowly, the goddess opened her reptilian eyes and looked around. Something had woken her up from her sleep.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The reptilian goddess asked this in a tired voice. She looked uncomfortable in her binds, but she also had no intention of breaking free of them.

"We are prisoners in this place. But what is someone like you doing here? We came down here because we were curious about human limits. But your situation does not look the same as ours."

Amane asked, and her concern caused the elder goddess to look faint.

"I…this place is…I no longer remember why I am down here and what to do. I-I, what time is it? I should not be awake right now. I am tired, and I need to sleep."@@novelbin@@

The goddess closed her eyes and fell asleep. Her limbs sagged in the chains, and she looked dead to one's eye.
