There were gusts of wind whistling in Yami'sears.
Yami's footsteps kept moving, not daring to stop at all.
He didn't know whether the Loki familia had caught up, but as long as he ran to Rivera Town, he would be completely safe, and now at least, he had to find Tsubaki.
He would not have chosen to get out of his room if he had known so many things would be happening tonight.
Although it was indeed a feast for the eyes, the price that needed to be paid after the benefits was really unbearable.
"Whoosh!!!"
After galloping for a while, Yami finally left the forest.
In the distance, the flickering lights in Rivera Town had been imprinted in his eyes, and the next part of the journey was all plains, and there was no possibility of covering up his figure, so the only way to increase his speed was to rush forward into the town before being caught.
Not daring to delay at all, Yami hurried towards the direction of Rivera Town.
However, almost the next moment, a terrible sound of breaking wind was behind him.
"My desire is immersed in the sea of heart, my desire conceived in the sea of heart-destiny comes. Lost body shape, deprived of fangs, turned into a king snake. Through the sea, across the land, subvert the world. Master fate, defeat fate, ravage fate!
——Instant petrification! "
A loud voice sounded, and then a ray of light shrouded from behind.
Yami had no time to dodge and was instantly shot by the ray of light. He only felt his body become extremely stiff, and his coherent movements suddenly stopped immediately.
The most outrageous point was the sudden stop; even his inertia completely disappeared.
His whole body was as still as a statue. His thoughts and eyes could still move, but he couldn't control his body. No matter how hard he struggled, it was useless.
"Binding magic?"
Yami, who knew Tione better, murmured with an ugly expression.
The Amazons were better at melee combat, but that didn't mean they couldn't possess magic. It was just that because of their fighting style, the magic stat was too low, and the magic power was not too strong.
However, she was still a Lv.5 adventurer, so it was more than enough to imprison a Lv.1 adventurer like him.
This was because Yami could not develop magic power or resistance. His resistance to magic was almost zero, so it was very easy to get hit, and he couldn't break free.
After all, Tione used only binding magic, not mental interference.
The situation was not good. It seemed that there was really no escape.
"I almost let you run away~"
Words full of inexplicable meaning sounded quietly, and then three figures rushed out from the forest, stood directly around Yami, and surrounded him.
Lefiya, who was not good at speed, came late and couldn't help panting after stopping.
The girl looked at Yami with a hint of 'anger' and shame, obviously feeling ashamed of her short-term wavering just now.
This kind of inconspicuous man was definitely not a good person!
"Little brother, you are so interesting. I was about to believe what you said, but you actually used words to deceive us. What a cunning man~"
Tiona, still the friendliest, stepped forward and said with a smile.
No matter how you looked at it, her expression was full of teasing at this time.
Knowing there was no way to escape, Yami also completely gave up the idea in his heart. He was just trying it out. Now it seemed that it was a whimsical thing for a lower-level adventurer to want to escape under the nose of a first-class adventurer.
"Okay, I surrender. I really won't run away this time. Can you undo it for me first?"
Being controlled by the binding magic, the feeling of being motionless was really uncomfortable.
However, the instigator, Tione, intended to treat him as a "captive" preferentially. The lessons learned from the past were still there. Yami's methods were more cunning than ordinary adventurers, so it was best to control him like this.
"The magic will be lifted for you later. Now answer our questions first."
"You dare to spy on us taking a bath, so daring of you. Which familia do you belong to? I want to report this to the God of your familia and make a disgusting guy like you pay the price!"
Tione's words were merciless, and in a few words, Yami was labeled as a pervert.
How could Yami, who had been upright all his life, accept this kind of slander?
"I've said it before, I'm not a pervert, and I didn't spy on you. Who knew people were in that pool, and isn't the safe floor a public area? Are you only allowed to go there, and others are not?"
"The big deal is that I will return to the ground with you and confront the gods. Humans cannot lie in front of the gods. At that time, as long as they question me, won't the truth be revealed?"
Yami's words made Tione slightly taken aback and then realized the feasibility of this method.
However, Loki was a little more difficult to deal with.
"That's for later. We will verify the method you said, but to avoid deeper misunderstandings, you should tell the familia you belong to now."
"All right, I'm a newcomer to the Hephaestus familia and I come here with the captain of my familia."
"Hephaestus familia?"
