The moment that I heard this voice, I immediately knitted my brows.
I could recognize that it was a female who was calling out for help, but I didn't start heading in that direction right away.
After all, there was nothing safe about the dungeon…
But in the end, I still started moving in the direction that the scream for help came from.
It wasn't just a single scream for help, but several screams for help that came at irregular intervals.
As I got closer, the screams became louder.
But at the same time, as I got closer, I saw that there was some light coming from in front of me.
Seeing that there was another source of light, I immediately turned off the light on my head.
I cautiously made my way over using the cover of darkness and I was slowly able to see what the situation was.
It was a classic damsel in distress.
There was a beautiful girl who was being surrounded by ugly looking men. The leader of these ugly men had his hand around her arms and it seemed like he was trying to force himself onto her.
This was one of those cliches that almost everyone had heard about.
But I didn't make a move when I saw this.
After all, we were currently in the dungeon and it was a very dangerous place. Not to mention, while these men seemed ugly…they were armed with sharp looking weapons and they seemed quite strong.
They seemed stronger than me at least…
It would be smarter to just leave them be and let whatever happened here happen. I didn't know any of them after all, so there was no need for me to get involved.
But when the leader started reaching his hand towards the beautiful girl's chest, I suddenly thought about what I had done to Mei Tang Tang.
The bit of guilt that I felt towards the now deceased Mei Tang Tang filled my heart…so in the end, I couldn't stop myself from moving forward.
Using the cover of the dark, I made my way behind these men without attracting their attention.
Then using the fact that they were focused on the beautiful girl, I made my way behind the leader.
I smoothly brought my sword up to the leader's neck and when they realized what had happened, I was already holding the leader hostage.
Even though he had a sword to his neck, the leader still said, "Who, who are you?"
Though he was able to keep himself calm enough to speak, it was clear that he was nervous since his voice was shaking and stuttering.
Of course, I wasn't much better since I wasn't used to doing things like this. At the very least, I was holding out better than the leader who had a blade to his neck.
I gave a cough to calm myself down before saying, "I'm not looking for any trouble. As long as you back down and leave, I won't escalate this matter. So how about it?"
The ugly men around me all had their weapons raised, but not a single one of them dared to swipe at me.
It seemed that they valued their boss' life at the very least.
After a long and tense silence, the leader said, "If you let me go, we'll leave."
The men were surprised to hear this, just as surprised as I was that this man would back down that easily.
But then I said, "How will we do this?"
After all, it was just as likely that he was lying to me so that he could attack me as soon as I let him go.
The leader said, "My men will leave first and I'll unarm myself. Once they are gone, you can let me go and leave this place."
I looked at him with a doubtful look, but in the end, there was no better choice here…so I said, "Alright."
The leader tossed the sword he was holding to one of his men and then waved his hand for them to get out of here.
Once they were gone, I slowly released the sword that was around his neck. While doing this, I was prepared to release the Time Stop skill at any moment just in case this man tried anything.
But to my surprise, he didn't do a single thing and just walked off. As he did, he suddenly turned around to look at me and said, "This isn't over yet."
When I heard this, I couldn't help revealing a bitter smile since this was the most cliche line that he could have said.
However, he didn't give me a chance to say anything as he quickly disappeared.
Once he was gone, I couldn't help being surprised since this all seemed like it was too easy…I was honestly expecting something else to suddenly happen.
But nothing happened at all.
I was just standing there lost in thought until something suddenly hit me.
It wasn't some kind of thought that suddenly hit me, but rather a pair of something that hit me in the chest.
This was a really soft pair of something…
At the same time, there was a pair of arms that came around me while I heard someone start to cry.
At this, I was pulled out of my thoughts and remembered that there was someone else here.
As she cried, she kept saying, "Thank you, thank you for saving me."
I felt very awkward since I didn't have much contact with girls before, especially beautiful girls like this.
So when she held me like this, I couldn't help feeling awkward.
But I calmed myself down and said with a cough, "Let's get out of here first. They might come back at any time and we don't want to be here when that happens."
The girl looked up at me with tearful eyes before giving a nod.
I turned on my light a bit so that we could see what was in front of us before quickly making our way out of this place.
As we walked off, the girl held my hand and followed behind me.
It wasn't just her body that was soft…her hands were soft too.
