"Looks like we found a slave"
Pete looked toward the sound but didn't saw anyone,
"Hello... Is anyone there"
Morsh sighed,
'You clearly heard the sound... so of course someone's there'
Pete headed toward the direction of the sound,
"Hello... answer please'
Morsh said,
"Hey, let's get out of here... I don't think these guys are safe to approach... they didn't answer and are clearly hiding"
Pete then said arrogantly,
"Don't worry... whoever they are, they are not going to be stronger than orcs"
Morsh shook his head left to right and said,
"Hey, listen... let's keep heading to the tracks... we will eventually reach a village"
A thin and a bulk guy coming from behind the tree. The thin guy was holding a sword and the bulk guy was holding a giant axe.
The bulk guy said,
"Hey why are you talking to yourself"
Pete was overjoyed when he saw humans other than him and honestly answered,
"I am talking to Morsh"
Morsh said,
"Hey, why are you telling them about me"
Pete again honestly answered,
"Because they asked about it"
The guys were confused, then the bulk guy asked the thin guy,
"Hey Gush, do you think he has a screw loose in head"
Gush replied,
"I think so too Roan"
Pete heard this and angrily said,
"Hey.... My screw is not loose, it's very tight..."
Morsh was again dumbfounded by Pete's reply,
'It's going to be very hard year before I get my own body'
Gush and Roan started laughing at Pete's reply,
Roan said while laughing,
"Hahaha... No, you don't have any screw in your head"
Gush than said,
"Hey Roan pick him up and take him to the rest of the slaves"
When Pete heard this, he quickly picked a stone from the ground and said,
"I have killed an orc with a stone... so don't come near me"
Roan kept walking toward Pete and said,
"Haha.... so, you know how to fight... you will sell at a high price"
Pete threw the stone with his full force,
"Take this then"
The stone left a trail behind it when it flew and flew directly toward Ruan's head,
When the stone was couple of inches away from Roan's face, he caught the stone with lightning speed and said,
"Haha... you probably trained for a month or two... how did you kill an orc with only this much strength"
Pete said while slowly walking backwards,
"Don't come close... I am a hero who's going to save you from the demon lord"
Roan and Gush started laughing more loudly and Gush said,
"You are going to save us from a demon lord that don't even exist"
"Your screw is not loose or anything... you just don't have any brain Oo great hero"
"Hey Roan, don't stall anymore... just grab the boy and let's go"
Roan nodded and within a blink of eye he appeared in front of Pete,
Pete got scared and fell backwards when he saw Roan suddenly appearing in front of him,
Roan simply picked up Pete and carried him like a baggage and within a second reached Gush,
"I got the boy so let's go"
Pete shouted,
"Hey, let me go otherwise I will use my power and you will be killed "
Gush said in a teasing manner,
"Use it then Oo great hero...Hahahaha..."
Pete then started wiggling around and said,
"Come power and kill these guys"
Morsh was thinking how to get out of this place and said,
"Hey don't struggle... They will probably kill you if you don't comply"
Pete angrily said,
"No, I will struggle until he let me go... I am the hero, they can't do anything to me"
Morsh then said,
"Ok do whatever you do, I am going to sleep now"
Pete said,
"Yes, that will be great, this way you will noy feel disgusted when you see blood of these guys"
Morsh thought,
'Says the guy who was going to pass out seeing his own blood'
Gush looked at Roan and said,
"Put him to sleep"
Roan nodded and took out a piece of cloth out of his pocket and gush put out a little glass bottle and poured some liquid in the cloth, then Ruan said to Pete,
"Good night mister hero"
Pete said with an angry expression,
"But it's not night yet"
Roan said while laughing,
"Hahaha... real funny "
Then he put the piece of cloth in Pete's mouth,
After some seconds Pete fell asleep and Roan said,
"Gush, he is asleep... let's head back to camp"
Gush nodded and they both headed toward the forest and after couple of minutes they reached the camp,
The camp was not that much just some tents and carriages with stuff in them, and two carriages with metal cages which were filled with skinny and weak humans.
Roan put Pete in the metal cage and headed to tent in center with Gosh,
"Let's tell boss that we found another slave "
Gosh nodded and after few seconds they reached the tent in center,
The tent was largest among the tents and had its curtains closed,
Both Roan and Gush kneeled in front of the camp and said in a respectful tone,
"Boss we found another slave "
A heavy voice came from the tent,
"So, what "
Gosh said in a little fearful voice,
"We were just reporting"
The Boss said,
"Get lost and don't disturb me for these trivial matters"
Both Gush and Roan nodded and said,
"Yes boss"
Then both of them left the camp while Gush said,
"Let's go and check the area again, maybe we can find another slave"
Roan nodded and both of them left the camp
Morsh looked around and thought,
'So, I don't get control when the Pete is sleeping'
He then said,
"Hey Pete, you there..."
Pete didn't respond, then Morsh looked at the peoples inside the cage,
'Are these guys bandits? well... I will get my answer when Pete woke up or I took control at night'
The people in the cages were all sitting at the center with their backs to each other, looking at him with fear in their eyes.
After couple of hours Gush and Ruan came back and stood next to the carriage where Pete was,
They looked at Pete, then Roan said to Gush,
"How much sleeping potion did you use.... He is still sleeping after four hours"
Gush said while scratching his head,
"I poured half a bottle "
Roan said with a little high tone,
"What... are you out of your mind... you were only supposed to put few drops... the potion is expensive"
Gush said in a low tone while lowering himself a little,
"Hey, keep it down... if boss hears this, he will get angry "
Roan nodded then looked at Pete and said,
"What will we do if this guy dies in his sleep "
Gush said,
"Don't worry we will just say he died due to some disease"
Roan nodded and both of them headed to a tent in the side,
Morsh was getting bored and thought,
'Damn... it's boring here... what am I supposed to do when stuck in someone stupid's body and he is sleeping'
Morsh than thought for a moment and said,
"Let's try to focus on the dark energy that I absorbed"
He then started focusing on the dark energy,
After couple of minutes a dark energy engulfed Morsh's soul and his soul started strengthening,
Morsh could feel this and was surprised by this and thought,
'Hmm... I guess I can get stronger when I was not in control of the body'
Morsh than strengthened his soul until evening,
'I will take control of the body in three or four hours'
'Let's do some experiment until then'
Morsh focused on the dark energy and dark energy again engulfed his soul. He tried to control it, but it was like trying to control a raging storm. The dark energy was too powerful, too wild.
Morsh felt the dark energy coursing through his soul, filling him with power.
Morsh took a deep breath and tried to calm his mind. He had to focus. He had to control the dark energy.
Morsh closed his eyes and imagined himself as a vessel for the dark energy. He imagined the dark energy flowing through him, but he also imagined himself controlling it. He imagined himself using the dark energy for his own purposes.
Morsh opened his eyes and felt the dark energy within him. It was still wild and powerful, but he could feel himself starting to control it.
After couple of tries he was able to maneuver the dark energy according to his will,
'This feels great... now let's see if I can take this energy out of this body'
Morsh started waving his hand and a string of dark energy followed the movement of his hand. The string of dark energy was thin and black
Morsh then made a pushing gesture with his hand the dark energy flew straight,
'I will have to send it out from this space first...'
The dark energy hit an invisible wall after flying couple of meters,
"So, there was an invisible wall there, I guess I was looping back and forth in this space whenever I tried to find the end"
Morsh than let out more dark energy and the barrier started cracking in the spot where the dark energy was hitting,
"Looks like I need to use more force"
Morsh then released more dark energy and the whole barrier started cracking with golden cracks,
The golden cracks in the dark barrier looked quite spectacular,
"Hmmm... so I can only make a few cracks with my power now"
Golden energy started flowing through the cracks and Morsh said,
"Is this energy same as the goddess's energy"
Morsh then spread the dark energy in the whole space and the dark energy started devouring the golden energy,
"OH free food for my dark energy"
The golden energy then quickly left the barrier as it was scared by the dark energy,
Morsh thought,
'If the golden energy can enter through the cracks, my dark energy can also get out through the cracks'
Morsh then sent a string of dark energy out through the cracks,
Outside of the dark barrier there was another space filled with golden energy, Morsh could feel the familiar presence with the dark energy string,
'This is Pete's presence... I guess he soul space was next to mine'
The golden energy made way wherever the dark energy string goes,
'Should I devour the golden energy.... hmmm.... what would happen to Pete If I did that'
'I suppose devouring this golden energy will have to wait'
Morsh then made the string go further and soon he could feel an opening in the golden barrier,
'Why is there an opening in golden barrier.... Does that bitch made this...."
Morsh then passed the string from the opening and soon he saw the string outside of the body,
'Hoh... so this is the way out of the body'
Morsh looked though a screen outside the body so it's like watching TV,
He saw other captives inside the metal cage which includes three adult males and 8 adult females and 1 little girl around 7 years,
Morsh said,
"So, let's begin another test...."
Morsh then send the string to the women sitting with her head down on her knees,
"You will be my first test subject"
The dark energy string entered the body of the women and soon her whole body engulfed with dark energy, seeing this Morsh said,
"Hmmm.... the dark energy engulfed her body... "
The other captives were frightened when they saw the dark energy engulfing the body of the woman sitting with them. They had never seen anything like it before, and they didn't know what to do.
They started shivering and crying and fled to the corner of the cage,
The dark energy then left the body of the women and flowed through the string to Morsh,
When the dark energy started returned to Morsh's soul, his soul strengthened a little and he learned the techniques of the women which were washing, cooking and sewing,
"So, can learn techniques this way too"
"I guess she was normal women as she didn't know about anything about fighting"
Soon the dark energy completely entered his body, and he could now feel something he never felt before entered his soul,
"Why do I feel like something entered my soul.... It's not doing something it's feels like I can control it or destroy it at my will"
Morsh then looked at the women outside and found she was not moving at all,
Seeing the dark energy left the women's body the little girl came forward and moved the women,
The women simply dropped,
The little girl frightened and quickly went back, the women was dead,
Seeing the women was dead Morsh thought,
'Did I kill her? so is that her soul that entered my soul'
Morsh than send the thing that entered his soul out of the body through the string,
"Let's see what exactly it is... I can feel that I can do anything I want with it.... It's feels like a part of my body"
The thing exited through the dark energy string and when it gets out of the body,
"Woah what the hell is this... so it was actually...."
