Baladan's eyes were cold, the eyes of a killer was staring into the love filled eyes of Rosa as she waited for her prince.
Rosa: 'Oh my god~ he's here! My prince came to save me! He must have taken out every single one of them to get to me! So strong! He must be my prince!'
If her pupils could change shape they would be filled with hearts right now. The gaze of love made the room pink as she stared at Baladan with a gag over her mouth and her hands bound.
Bal: 'These scumbags! So it wasn't enough that they cheated us but they wanted to sell these girls off as well huh! Well how about I show them what happens when they mess with us!'
His face was filled with indifference but his mind was filled with rage! He didn't bother staying there long, he just walked up and began to release the girls that had gotten caught before heading out.
Bal: "Sam bring that one back, all of you get on your knees and beg for forgiveness from these ladies!"
He had brought the women back, Rosa was sticking to him like glue however. Quickly his gang members went behind the gate out of the line of fire from the mounted machine gun before Baladan went up to man the gun.
"We are sorry! We will never do it again! Please forgive us!"
"Yes please forgive us! We were in the wrong!"
"Please let us live! We won't do it again! I promise"
At that time all of their timers ticked down to zero. Immediately Baladan pulled the trigger mowing them down where they sat.
Bal: "Let this be a lesson to anyone who decides to go against us! Next time something like this happens death will be the least of your worries! Now everyone grab everything and get the fuck out before the police show up!"
———
Rosa: "It was the moment you saved me from those horrible men that I fell for you… so please look at me! Do whatever you want with me, I won't complain for even a second!"
Bal: 'So she was from back then huh… who knew someone could fall in love in a situation like that…? The only reason I acted so cold blooded back then was to put the fear of death into my enemies…'
"Look… I'm not going to say no to your feelings but, I haven't fallen for you. Up until now I have never even thought about having a relationship, so I'll most likely make you wait for a while…"
Rosa: "That's fine with me! I've been waiting for 3 years already! What is a little longer~ as long as I get to stay by your side and you don't try to get with anyone else then I'll be happy!"
Her eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent before she reprimanded herself in her mind for daring to even think like that towards her prince.
Bal: "…Ok umm… can you release my hand now…?"
He still wasn't really looking at her half naked body. Even though his hand was firmly grasping her breast he tried his hardest not to go to far.
Rosa: "I let go awhile ago~ you've been holding onto me on your own from the start of the story~"
Immediately his hand released before pulling back. The feeling of her soft mound still on his hands, he was both happy and worried about what was happening.
After telling him about killing the one she loved before because he got with someone else ran through his mind.
Bal: 'Note to self… stay away from the women in our group if I don't want to see them filled with stab wounds… I can't believe I managed to find a yandere during a run… though, having someone love you so much they would kill for you is… definitely a new feeling…
I don't know if I like it but it's not unpleasant… we will see where this goes but for now let's get these buses'
He quickly brought his hand out again soon touching her shoulder before transferring his jacket.
[-5 to Strength & Stamina]
The moment he took off the jacket he felt his body get weaker.
Bal: 'It's to bad that bastard didn't give me a gift but I still have some undead to take care of in the science building so maybe I'll find something?'
The moment Rosa got the jacket she instantly put it on before lifting the sleeves to gently rub against the side of her face.
Rosa: 'My prince had just worn this! Even though it shrunk to fit my size I can still smell his scent all over the jacket~'
Baladan gave her some space as she enjoyed the feeling over having his scent surrounding her body.
Bal: "Boss, I think we should rest here before clearing out the science building and getting those buses… as for everyone else, they are in a pretty pathetic state huh…?"
Boss: "Yeah… let's make sure we recover our Mana before heading out. I don't ever want to be in that situation ag- hey wait… what is that shining in that bastards head?"
Through the multiple women taking whatever they could to attack the dead body one of them had taken a microphone stand before slamming the heavy end on his head.
When the head split open a gem of fell out and rolled across the ground being kicked around as the girls continue their assault.
Bal: "Wait… do we have some form of gem in our brains?"
Of course he would be worried about a sudden gem just magically appearing in their heads as he went over and picked it up.
[Ability Gem Acquired! Would you like to use the gem?]
Y / N
Bal: "Uhh… Boss, it is apparently called an ability gem, it's asking if I would like to use it…"
Bosses eyes immediately lit up, he instantly walked up beside Baladan before taking a closer look at the gem.
Boss: "It looks like when a human dies we can harvest the ability they had… now the real question is who do we give this too? I could use it but isn't it pretty similar to my own ability?"
Bal: "So what? You can't control people with your words. Wouldn't the leader be better suited to have such an ability?"
Immediately it was settled, Boss was given the gem. Instantly the gem shattered when he clicked yes.
[Congratulations! You have gained the ability [Command] would you like to do the tutorial?]
[System Calculating…]
[System has detected similar ability already owned by user. Commence Fusion]
Bosses eyes went white for a second, they were devoid of light as he stared off into space. A minute later he came back before a new system message appeared.
[Congratulations! Host has successfully fused both abilities! New ability acquired!]
[Ability [Dominion] has been created]
Boss: "Holy shit! Bal… we need to gather more of those gems! Especially ones with similar abilities to those already owned!"
At that moment another notification flashed before him.
[Ability Slots Remaining: 4]
(Everyone can have 5 starting out, that is if they get access to abilities. He would have taken up a slot if they hadn't been fused together)
Boss quickly pulled Baladan away to a empty room to start talking about what he has discovered.
———
Randy: "Ok everyone listen up! Those who are able to fight will take main priority when we leave. You all have seen what happens to those who are weak right? People like Ryder will do whatever he wants to you all! Do you want that to happen again!
You might be scared now but once you get through your first kill it will be 100 times better then right now! The moment you level up you gain a ability like Rosa here!"
He had talked with her before coming to the large group of scared barely adults.
Instantly Rosa summoned flames making miniature tornado of flames in her hand as she looks to everyone.
Randy: "Look! Everyone will have the chance to get an ability like this! All you need to do is kill 2 of those Shadow Corpses and then you'll level up! Of course we wouldn't ask you to fight them on your own! It doesn't matter if we help or not, you will still level even if we cut off all their limbs and made it a nugget on the ground!"
Hearing his words some of the men had gritted their teeth, were they just going to sit here and be useless until their final moments? Some of their sisters, girlfriends, crushes had been in the group of girls. Were they really going to sit there and wait for others to save them all the time?
Some of the more athletic men who played sports most of their lives had stood first. The look of determination in their eyes was betrayed by their knees shaking with terror.
"W-Will we really be able to be as strong as you all… can I… can I really stand up and take the chance to get stronger after what happened… I am ashamed of myself… am I even worthy enough to have such power…"
Some of the men were thinking along those lines, when one of them had stood up to say that Randy looked him dead in the eyes.
Randy: "If you are ashamed of yourself then get stronger! This world is dictated by strength now! If you were strong enough none of these women would have gone through what Ryder did to them! Do you want that to repeat itself! What if another Ryder came after we left and did it again!"
"NO! I would rather die then let them go through that! We all thought we would be safe! We all wanted to be safe but that man betrayed our trust and used us! I don't want to feel helpless anymore!"
Randy: "Where was that attitude when these women where getting raped! Huh? Tell me! If you want power so much then fight! Fight for your life! No one will save you, all you can count on is yourself! So FIGHT!"
His words struck a nerve in all of them, the weak men and abused women finally stood up. Their eyes filled with determination as they realized only they could save themselves.
Randy: "Good! As long as you choose to fight we won't let you die! Show the people you wanted to save that you have changed! Show them how badly you want to protect their lives! Don't sit around and do nothing let them know you truly care and you will be forgiven!"
'Hopefully… that's all up to the ones who were wronged though…'
