Kent quickly entered the cave, which is considered one of the most notorious spaces in the kingdom. Few knew of its existence, and even fewer spoke of it, for no one was supposed to.
The atrocities that occurred there were too barbaric to recount.
Those sent there never returned. It was a place ant for one purpose: to die screaming. Vogt and Falk were anything but benevolent.
When Kent stepped inside, he saw smaller cells with chains hanging from the walls.
[Master, those chains are enchanted to strip one of their cultivation base when put on. They also inflict ntal torture and soul deprivation.]
Kent sighed and kept moving.
A few seconds later, he stopped in front of a cell. Inside, a small human girl sat, her gaze unfocused and dazed.
The mont her eyes landed on Kent, she froze. She tried to stand but couldn't; the potion's effects still left her weak and drowsy.
"Big brother..." she called out in a frail voice, her mouth and eyes wide open.
For so reason, Kent's anger resurfaced when he saw her in that state. His sword ca out of the sheath and returned the next mont, but the door was cut open, and he quickly stepped in.
"Big Brother", Li Hua's tears started to flow.
"Big brother... they killed Grandma, they killed Grandma," her tears were overflowing now that she had seen a familiar face.
Although she had only known Kent for two minutes, she could tell he wasn't there to hurt her. Just as Kent was angry when he saw her weak self, she also felt vulnerable and an instant trust when she saw him.
This was because of the connection between them. The guardianship would always make Kent aware of her and even know when she was in trouble. Of course, that was how it would be if he had fully awakened the Guardian Tower.
"Calm down, Li Hua. You are safe now," Kent said, rubbing her small head as he let the tiny human cry her heart out.
Everyone was dead now. He wasn't in a hurry to leave. In fact, Kent was hoping more guards would co so he could vent his anger.
An hour later, Li Hua cald down. Initially, Kent was worried about how to approach the matter of her Grandma's/Guardian's death, but hearing and seeing that she already knew cald him down a bit.
The mory he had locked away could have helped him, but he wasn't thinking about that just yet.
For now, Kent was very angry, and this was due to his [Guardian Protect] skill. Because of this, Kent would seek revenge on those who dared to hurt soone under his protection.
"Take this," Kent said, grabbing a pill from his space ring and placing it on Li Hua's tongue. The pill dissolved in her mouth, filling her with energy.
"Big Brother, are you here to rescue ?" Li Hua asked, a little more composed now.
"Yes. Your Grandma told to co when I ca looking for you," Kent said with a small smile, trying to ease her anxious heart.
"Grandma," Li Hua muttered, wiping an invisible tear from her eyes. "I miss Grandma," she said.
She had been present when her Grandma was killed and had witnessed it all.
Perhaps the kidnappers wanted her to know there was no coming back for her. By killing her only attachnt, they were telling her she had no hope of being freed.
Of course, for so reason, that part of the mory was buried deep in the mory Kent received from Janice.
He didn't know why, but he could tell the Fox Lady didn't want him to know. He would later sit down and go through her mories and the new ones he had extracted despite blacking out.
"Don't worry, Li Hua, big brother is going to protect you now. I will ensure no harm cos to you, no matter the danger," Kent promised.
"Mmm," Li Hua nodded her tiny head, holding Kent's hand firmly.
A promise from a guardian is said to be the most dangerous vow. The epic saga of the untad guardian—the one who rose through the heavens, hunting all that threatened his ward.
The one who moved across realms to exact revenge on those who dared hurt his ward. The one who broke the heavens and killed gods just because they set their sights on his ward.
The heavens are about to understand the true nature of a guardian. One who fights relentlessly for his wards. One who is wholly dedicated to those he dares to place under his care.
Many will grow wary of him and jealous of him. It is said that a guardian's task is only complete when the last obstacle is overco and the last ward is safe.
Kent didn't imdiately take Li Hua away; he first scanned her.
