Jinx stood before the weak and wounded prisoners, a heavy sigh escaping her lips. She lowered her gaze to the young girl beside her.
"Okay... Let’s go."
Turning towards the dungeon’s exit, Jinx marched forward, the terrified prisoners slowly following in her wake.
___
"Hey! Stop there!"
Jinx halted, her eyes darting around the expansive throne hall.
’The exit leads to the throne hall?’ A jolt of surprise ran through her.
"Where do you think you’re going?!" Two hulking ogre guards, swords drawn, blocked their path.
"Hey, little dragon," Jinx whispered to the girl, "can you do the sa thing to these two?"
"Huh? Thing?" The girl tilted her head, clearly lost.
"I an, the skill you used in the dungeon, in our cell," Jinx clarified.
"I don’t have enough Celestial energy for that skill, it consud a lot," the girl murmured, her voice barely audible.
"What skill?! Are you guys deaf?! We said go back to your cells!" one of the guards bellowed, pointing his sword nacingly. "Or we will lose control of our weapons!"
"Lose control?! You aren’t the only one with a weapon!" Jinx gripped her dagger, ready for a fight. To her shock, the prisoners all recoiled, trembling in fear.
"...?!"
’I actually thought they’d step forward and help! These fools are just liabilities,’ she hissed inwardly.
"Take her down!" the other guard ordered, and the two ogres advanced on Jinx.
BOOOM!!!
At that exact mont, the massive double doors burst inward, sending the three ogres, including their king, flying across the hall to land with heavy thuds.
".....?!"
Everyone was stunned. Their gazes collectively swung to the entrance, where three figures erged. A handso beastman with wolf ears and piercing red eyes, his muscular physique on full display in his black pants and red fur coat.
"Cough!" The Ogre King coughed a mouthful of blood as he slowly pushed himself up, his eyes widening as he recognized Star and Josephine behind Sunny. "Who really are you?!" he roared.
Sunny’s gaze swept across the hall, settling on Jinx, then dropping to the young girl beside her. "...Got you."
{Na: Ellen.}
{Race: Elite Dragon.}
{Bloodline: Light Dragon (First of Its can) (Half-Locked).}
{Rank: Core rank. Stage 1.}
{Strength: 200.}
{Agility: 200.}
{Stamina: 150.}
{Defense: 150.}
{Attack: 200.}
{Celestial energy: 300.}
{Magic resistance: 100.}
’Her celestial energy is the sa as her rank... But the rest of her stats... With these stats, she could fight a Master rank while being a Core rank warrior... Impressive,’ Sunny thought.
’But her bloodline; ’First of its kind’ and ’Half-Locked’... What’s that?’
{She is the first Light Dragon in her race, and her bloodline is Half-Locked because the target is missing one thing to unlock her bloodline.}
Sunny nodded at the system and ntally posed a crucial question: ’What is that?’
{A Star.}
’Co again?!’ Sunny was stunned.
{Master can either feed her a star, or buy any artifact that has the sa brilliance as a star.}
’Feed her a star?! If I heard this back on Earth, I would have said you were nuts... But now?’ He walked forward, completely bypassing the Ogre King.
"...?!"
Everyone watched in stunned silence and disbelief as Sunny approached the throne and settled onto it.
"You killed people, took many as slaves... Those are cris punishable by death," he stated, his gaze fixed on the Ogre King.
"So?! That isn’t your business!!" the King yelled.
Sunny raised an eyebrow. With a re flick of his wrist, a flash was all anyone saw before one of the commanders’ heads dropped to the ground, followed by his body.
"...!?!!"
{Congratulations, Master killed a Half Heavenly rank Ogre, and gained 1,000 EXP.}
’I see you’re reducing these EXPs,’ Sunny thought.
{Master gains EXP by killing; each target’s bloodline and strength determine the EXP Master gains.}
"...You?!" The King stared at the headless body of his second commander, then turned to Sunny with unbridled killing intent. "How dare you?!"
"How dare I?!" Sunny frowned, gesturing towards the skinny beastn and won behind Jinx. "You kidnapped our people, and use them as slaves! Making them do countless despicable things! And you dare ask that question!" Sunny’s voice was cold.
"Do you know how long we have been searching for them?! If we hadn’t gotten the information from the unknown helper, we wouldn’t have known they were here!" he added.
"Sister-in-law... Did you know our people were here? Working as slaves?" Star whispered to Josephine, who stood beside her.
"Yes... And he also knows that," Josephine nodded. ’With his words, our people will understand why we haven’t saved them, and we don’t have to explain or show our weakness,’ Josephine thought, a relieved smile gracing her lips as she looked at Sunny.
"Unknown helper?" The King was speechless. "Who?! Who gave you this information?!" he shrieked.
"Why would I answer that?" Sunny slowly rose and walked towards Jinx and Ellen.
"I am here for three reasons." He continued as he approached them.
"First, my people. Second; my territories, and third." He stopped before the two dumbfounded girls.
"Her," he said, his gaze settling on Ellen.
".....??" Ellen was stunned.
"No can do?!" Jinx stepped in front of Ellen, pointing her dagger at him. "You aren’t taking her away!" she hissed.
"I am not taking her away... I am giving her a chance to escape from all this," Sunny corrected, completely unfazed by the scrap-class dagger in her hand.
"Huh?" Jinx was confused, but then imdiately yelled, "You are just saying that because you saw her potential! You are lying!"
WHOOSH!!
BAM!
Jinx staggered backward in shock. Both she and Ellen stared at the burnt dagger in her hand, the blade completely lted by the attack. With horrified expressions, they both turned to Star.
"Don’t yell before the King," Star said coldly.
’A Grand Master... There’s no way I can defeat her... And with these two with her... What should I do??’ Jinx thought.
’There is no way I am giving Ellen to them; she’s just a child, and doesn’t have to go through another pain.’
"Are you okay?" Ellen asked with concern, and Jinx nodded.
’Hmm... They aren’t related, but she will go to any extent to protect her... This Jinx is fascinating... And her bloodline is one of a kind.’
