Colt rushed the two guards with a long spear, the spear was glowing a bit since it had enchantments on it, but Colt had no way of knowing this. The two guards had frightened faces when they saw the glowing spear in Colt's hands, but even though they knew they had 0% chance of surviving they didn't give up in the slightest, but even more bizarre one of the guards started laughing a bit. "What's wrong? Did you lose your mind or what?" Colt stopped when he saw the guard laughing maniacally, at first Colt thought that maybe the guard has a trump card but what the guard said next made this idea vanish completely.
"Hey Sara" the guard stopped laughing as he looked at the other guard "I love you" he had a smile on his face, but all of a sudden tears started falling off the other guard. 'She is a girl?' Colt had no way of knowing since the other guard looked like a guy.
"Why do you say it now, Gin you idiot!" Sara started crying as she embraced Gin. "I am truly an idiot, I was never the courageous kind of guy, at first when I saw the enchanted spear on the child's hands, wanted to beg him to let me live, but after seeing your face I changed my mind, I would rather die with you than leave you behind!" Gin started crying as he embraced Sara.
"You leave first! I am going to stop him from chasing you!"Gin looked determined at Colt, he knew he would die doing this but if he could at least give Sara enough time to call for help they both could be fine."I wouldn't leave you here alone!" Sara screamed at Gin, she wanted to take his place but fear stopped her.
'Fucking headache, I feel bad for them, should I let them go, but if I do I might get in trouble later on, maybe I should tie them here for now? But what kind of rope can tie cultivators? Is there even one?' Colt was deep in his thoughts after witnessing what just happened, he wanted to let them go but he was afraid they might call for help. " You want to escape from me?" Colt got agitated after trying to think of a solution and standing with them, they still wanted to go and call for help from the outside.
"I am not going to let you kill Sara! Not even in hell!" the fear inside Gin completely vanished as his determination to save his beloved one kicked in. "I like your determination, do you promise to not call for anyone if I let you go?" Colt said smiling, but he also started walking towards the two slowly.
"Are you going to let us go?" Sara was so happy to see hope for her and Gin to leave this place unharmed. "What do we need to do in return?" Gin looked cautiously at Colt, he didn't believe that he would let them go this easily.
"I already told you in return you can't call anyone" Colt kept moving forward he was about 10m from Gin and Sara.
Gin looked at Sara as she nodded to him, "Okay deal!".
"This is what I like to hear, now… how are you going to let me believe that you won't call anyone?" Colt had two solutions in his head, 1 and this is the reason he closing the distance between them to kill them fast and easy without problems, or 2 and that is to make them vow that they will not tell anyone.
"I will vow that I will not tell anyone about what happened here!" Gin had a change of personality when Sara accepted him, he wanted to get stronger to keep her safe! To protect his beloved ones!
"That's not enough" Colt had his cautions meter at its maximum value, Gin said that he wouldn't talk to anyone, but what if there's ghosts in this world? Ghosts could be determined as something not someone, and he wanted them both to vow not just Gin.
"What do you want me to vow on then?" Gin wanted Colt to make him vow so that Sara can go and tell the other guards and squad leaders about this kid but this next question disappointed that scheme.
"I want you both to vow that you will not talk to anyone and anything for the next 10 hours!" Colt knew he wouldn't be in this mine after 10 hours, so he tried to make it look easier for the couple.
"…Ok" Gin thought for a second, looked at Sara, after seeing her nod to him he accepted.
"I vow to the heavens that I wouldn't talk to anyone and anything for the next 10 hours" Gin and Sara said with a fist on their chest and another hand on their back. After finishing Gin looked at Colt silently without saying a word, as he just vowed that he wouldn't talk to anyone that means he can't talk to Colt as well.
"Okay that's good enough for me, now… strip" Colt had a small grin.
Gin looked at Colt fiercely he was so much angry at this little kid toying with him like this.
"I think you misunderstood I meant give me all your shit!" Colt doesn't leave any loot behind even on the verge of death!
Gin looked at Sara, he was wondering if he should continue on listening to this guy, but her frightened face made him make his choice which is to listen to this little demon till the end, he threw everything he had, from armor to his sword, Gin and Sara kept only their normal clothes.
Colt looked at himself and looked at Gin " now that I think about it I was wearing these slave clothes all this time, give me your clothes!" Colt was only wearing shattered pieces of clothing, it shouldn't even consider as a piece of cloth, but then he saw this guy's good looking clothes, he remembered something as he looked at the leader behind him, but the blood already soaked the clothes.
Sara looked at another direction, as Gin took off his clothes, and he was wondering if he should just throw the clothes at Colt or hand them to him.
