After 3 days…
On the highway passed a very thick forest. It is said to be the home of ores and goblins.
It is not a problem to walk passing the road since the road is pretty wide, however, when I turn my eyes to the side, all I can see is the thick forest.
Since the high trees were blocking the sunlight, the road light is dim. Plus to make matter worse the sun was about to set in 2-3 hours.
Furthermore, SOMA told me that there's also the hideout of the thieves group. Even though this is a highway, no one walk pass it without any guards. Security is a big mess here.
(Oi oi... Somehow, I don't feel good about this...) ME
Geographical condition of this area is perfect for ambush. I have to be on guard and watch my back as I have no idea what kind of dangers are waiting for me.
I was walking cautiously across the forest, when I heard a loud scream of a woman. The scream was so frightening that I got scared half to death. This is really bad, what now!!!
"Kyaaaaa!"
"Shut up! Be quiet bitch!"
"No!! Let me go!"
"Behave yourself!"
After hearing the scream, I began to run toward the voice. When I arrived at the big trees at the corner, I stopped and peeped through the trees.
There was a carriage that being attacked and also there were two girls.
I was watching the scene however my mind was not ready to believe what I was watching. There were hideous creatures with tall and fat bodies, green color skin, teeth coming out from their mouth.
[looks like these are the creatures SOMA was telling about. How unlucky can I get, to run into not just one but hordes on the first day of my journey and I still have a long way to go before I reach to another village.]ME
I was so surprised that my voice leaked.
[guwaaahhhhhhh.] ores
Oh man, they heard me. Seems the big ears on their head are not just for show. They are coming my way. What do I do now.
Unable to think anything, I came out of hiding.
[sorry to disturb you!!!] ME
[gwaaahhhhh......….]
As soon as I came out, I apologized however it appear that they are not in any mood for accepting an apology.
The two girls over there looks pretty afraid. They were tied to the tree with iron chains so they can't escape. But who in the right mind would have tied a person to a tree with iron chain in the middle of the forest.
Looks like there is more that meets the eye. I want to rescue those girls but before that I have something on my mind.
I ran straight to the girls, looked them in the eye and then
[do you want me to rescue you?] ME
[-----] GIRLS
[I asked, do you want me to save you?] ME
I asked the girls that was in my mind.
[you can see how hopeless the situation is here. If you ask me to rescue you then we might not live.do you still want to take the chance? Are you ready to die here?] ME
[Do you really think you can rescue those girls? Take a look just how many of us you have to defeat before you can fulfill your promise.] orge leader
Hmpmmmmmm...looks like there was someone in the horde who can speak. That explains why the other ores are not attacking and was just waiting.
However right now I am interested in these girls ans.
[I ask you again. Do you want me to save you?] ME
I want to know if they still cling to their life or not. Despite seeing the odds if they still believe that they can survive then I will help them. But if they have already given up on their life then no one can help them. Now tell me you ans.
[c-can y-you save us?] ONE OF THE GIRL.
[---------------------------] ME
I can not say if I can save them or not but I want to see their resolve.
[p-pl-please save us. We don't wanna die. The barrier which I have erected can hold on for so long. Once the barrier is ineffective we can fight against them for some more time. But eventually our magic will deplete. ]
Please, I beg of you. Atleast save my younger sister.] older sister.
[fuwwaah] ME
I am surprised. Not only they have not given on life but also they were fighting to protect themselves. I underestimated them.
[I am sorry] ME
[----------------------] GIRLS
[my name is KISHNA.NOW, just sit back, take a deep breath, relax and watch. I will show you how a bollywood hero rescues people!!!] ME
Man, that was dumb. How a hero rescues people!!!.....what did I just said. I can just die now.
[kill him…..take his head. We will show it to the boss.] orge leader
Oioi...looks like mr. leader has become pretty frustrated waiting.
Ok then, time to see how much I have grown in these past 4 days.
"But still, your master is really cruel isn't it? To think that he escape and save only his own self while leaving you both."
