While Yama was still waiting for the elf's response, the adventurers were already thinking of a plan to kill Yama without hurting the elf very much, although they only saw Yama as a child of 15 or 16 years, has an oppressive aura that makes them doubt whether they should attack or not yama although some doubt there are others who already succumbed to the greed to get double the pay but it was not much gold for some but a massive amount for amateur adventurers like them, some would spend to improve their equipment and They still do not give up on rising in rank while others have already accepted their lack of talent and thought about spending it on prostitutes or beer, when they are about to execute their plan, their bodies become rigid and they feel something sticky rise little by little for their legs when the shit goes down to know what it is, they see small black tentacles enveloping them slowly although they want to struggle to free themselves but their movements become slow and clumsy, it seems that the tentacles They had some kind of poison that was slowly paralyzing until they stopped moving and they could only see impotent as the tentacles completely enveloped them while dragging them down disappearing into the shadows and the little elf watched the whole process with a pale face then turned her look at yama only to realize she is still waiting for his response with a carefree smile as if what happened to the adventurers had nothing to do with him but the little elf saw how all the shadows joined the yama's shadow, although she he was planning to escape when the adventurers were busy fighting against yama did not think that ending up defeated so easily, now he was in a dilemma whether or not to accept yama's proposal, he still does not know what intentions yama has if he refuses to become his servant, she will end up like the adventurers just thinking about that possibility makes her whole body feel cold and her back This one, soaked with sweat, now she could only accept, she did not want to risk herself and die like the adventurers.
While she was still trembling, she said: "I accept to become your servant, but on the condition that you save the other slaves." Although she spent little time with the other slaves, all treated her with kindness since she was the smallest among all the slaves, some older slaves gave him their food telling lies as they were already full, among other things. so at least she wanted to return the favor.
although the little elf does not know how to react yama for her proposal I can only look down and tremble waiting for her answer, while yama did not care much since it did not require much effort so with a simple thought the shadow that was left of her feet started to go where the little elf came to save the slaves nothing else while nobody gets in their way, will not cause damage.
Meanwhile the merchants became anxious for every minute that passed though they wanted to send the remaining adventurers but if something happened to them they would have no one to defend them for the rest of the trip, although the adventurers were resting after their fight with the ogres and goblins , some were getting anxious and began to curse those who went to pursue the elf since they did not think it would take too long to capture a little elf that had almost no mana but while they were arguing because they take so long to capture the Elf, nobody noticed the shadow that was approaching the carriage of the slaves, tentacles appeared from underneath the slave carriage that began to destroy the bars and wrapped all the slaves dragging them to the leftovers while the adventurers were still dazed Because of the sudden attack, those closest to the slave carriage became nervous and walked away from the carriage. Although they were adventurers who always work as bodyguards for the merchants they never saw a situation like this, nobody wanted to risk just to save the lives of the slaves, while the merchants began to shout at the adventurers to kill the monster and recover the slaves , but no adventurer paid any attention to them since their lives were more important than money, each one also knew their own abilities and could never defeat a monster that travels through the shadows, although they are baffled because the monster only took the slaves and was returned to the forest without causing more damage although the merchants were angry because of the cowardice of the adventurers could not force the adventurers also still need your protection because there is still much to get to the next city. Although it was a great loss for the merchants they could only curse their luck after a few seconds they all prepared to leave immediately, they did not want to bump back with that unknown monster when they never heard anything, maybe they earn some money if they sell the information to the guild of adventurers to discover a new type of monster.
meanwhile the shadow was going to the place where yama and the little elf were, while the elf saw the shadow back she was a little nervous and I hope that none of her friends is hurt or even dead, when little by little the slaves appear from the shadow they look around scared but then they see the little elf and they give a sigh of relief to see that she is safe and sound, but then they see another child that is standing near the little elf and that the tentacles come out of their shadow, although they do not know who he is and because he has them trapped while little by little they are released and Yama turns to the little elf while saying: "I have already fulfilled my part of the deal." while I had a wicked smile.
