"Help me.....please,"
With the captain and his men out of the vicinity, Adam strolled towards the weakened lass laid on the floor. Espying that the human before her was clearly different from her pursuers, she requested his assistance in a feeble inaudible tone.
'Will she make it?'
[[SHE HAS 12 HOURS BEFORE THE LAST STRAIN OF MANA WITHIN HER BODY BECOMES EMPTY BY THE COLLAR AROUND HER NECK.]]
'In other words I need to provide her with Mana right?'
[[YES BUT THE PROBABILITY OF HER SURVIVING IS PRETTY LOW, YOU'RE BETTER OFF USING YOUR MANA ELSEWHERE. WHY BOTHER WITH A DEAD GIRL ANYWAY]]
'Just look at her eyes, that's the eyes of someone who's lost so many things but still has the desire to live and to take care of someone very important to her.'
[[IN OTHER WORDS YOU NEED A SEX SLAVE WHO'LL OBEDIENTLY OBLIGE TO YOUR REQUESTS RIGHT?]]
'What?!....why would you....?' With his cheeks rosy he stammered to relay his words before the system interposed.
[[ I'M IN YOUR HEAD REMEMBER?]]
'Well for your information you are wrong,'
[[ WHATEVER, YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO DO HAS A 5% SUCCESS RATE. IF IT'S S** SLAVE YOU WANT, THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHERS YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM, DO NOT WASTE VALUABLE MP ON SOMEONE THAT'S MOST LIKELY GOING TO DIE,]]
'I won't know until I try, so thanks anyway.'
With all things said and done, Adam glanced towards the lass whose hair seemed to have lost its color. He hunkered down before her as he quipped.
"You require my aid? Then you must be willing to offer something in return. So tell me what do you have to offer?"
"..."
Inaudible words uttered out made her unable to reply to his inquiry and noticing this, Adam asserted once more...
"I'll offer my aid to you if you are willing to become my slave, so blink twice if you accept,"
With the fact that there's no one else available to provide her assistance but the one before her was willing to help her even though they were total strangers. She had no choice but to oblige to his demands. She was willing to do anything provided she could save her sister in return.
"Splendid,"
Adam carried the fragile lady away as he sought shelter with the night fast approaching. Though Adam had no assurance he could save her still he hoped he could. After all, the system said there was a 5% chance she could survive and he'll bet his all on that slim chance.Eventually he found a shelter which happened to be an abandoned cabin house. Adam placed the girl on the bed after dusting and cleaning up the bedroom.
He glanced towards the collar around her neck which seemed to be a slave collar in this world. The slave collar had its rigidity akin to a jade bracelet with its color analogous to it as well.
With the life force being the base energy of all living things, mana was an energy produced directly from the life force. But the jade collar around her neck absorbs the mana she produces enabling her to grow thinner by the day.
'If this were to continue, not only would her mana be sucked dry, her life force would eventually be converted into mana and once the collar absorbs it, all that would remain would be her corpse.' Adam thought before he was hit with a sudden realization and so he inquired from the system.
""So what do I need to do?! Do I need to transfer my mana to her?" Adam asked the system to which an holographic screen appeared.
[[ THAT'S RIGHT BUT DOING SO WOULD ONLY BE IN VAIN WITH THE JADE COLLAR STILL AROUND HER NECK; I WOULD ADVISE YOU ABSORB THE JADE COLLAR FIRST BEFORE TRANSFERRING YOUR MANA TO HER]]
"Jade collar?"
[[THE JADE COLLAR IS MADE UP OF MANA, IT ABSORBS THE MANA OF THOSE IN POSSESSION OF IT.]]
Adam placed his hand on her collar as he focused his mind into absorbing the Mana present in the slave collar. With the mana absorbed, the jade collar vaporized into nothingness.
"Now what?!"Adam questioned seeing as how the lady had yet to improve in her appearance.
[[NOW ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TRANSFER YOUR
MANA TO HER AND SHE WILL BE GOOD AS NEW]]
"Do I need to place my hand on her head once again.? "
[[AFFIRMATIVE BUT YOUR CURRENT MP WOULD RENDER YOU DEAD BEFORE YOU COULD EVEN REFILL HALF OF HER MANA TANK. AFTER ALL SHE IS A DRAGON.]]
"What?! Did you just say.... "
[[YEP]]
[[YOU CURRENTLY POSSESS 900 MP WHICH IS PEANUT COMPARED TO WHAT THE DRAGON GIRL NEEDS. SHE NEEDS APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MP FOR YOU TO REVIVE HER BACK WITHIN THE NEXT 10 HOURS OR ELSE SHE WILL BE DEAD BY THE NEXT MORNING.]]
[[TO AVOID YOUR EARLY DEMISE. I RECOMMEND YOU ANNIHILATE A FEW MONSTERS WITHIN THE LEVELS OF AN HIGHER MUNDANE REALM]]
Hearing the amount of mana he would have to accumulate for her to be okay once more, Adam took several steps back as he subconsciously finds a chair behind him before sitting down.
'30,000 MP?! Impossible, there's no way I could gather such an amount in such limited time. '
'Should I give up?'
'Should I have abandon her and leave her there to die. '
The thought of what to do became difficult for Adam to decide his next course of action. But after a few minutes of pondering, he stood up.
[[WHAT ARE YOU DOING? THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO. JUST LEAVE HER BE AND ABSORB HER LIFE FORCE TO INCREASE YOUR MP.]]
"If I'm to kill 300 higher mundane realm monsters before the next 10hours, do I stand a chance of reviving her?"
[[TECHNICALLY YES YOU DO HAVE A CHANCE BUT FINDING SUCH AN AMOUNT IN THE NIGHT WITHIN THE WHISPERING FOREST WOULD BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. THERE'S A 99.9 % CHANCE YOU WONT MAKE IT.]]
"Thanks, that's all I need to know,"
And just like that, Adam steeled his resolve and went straight out to embark on his quest. With 2250exp and 900MP left, Adam decided to use durandal based on the fact that durandal was the only weapon capable of providing him both exp and MP.
