CHAPTER 19

Aaron moved towards the tunnels as fast he could. He has been using his magic shamelessly since they were discovered. Rosalba had told him that maybe their comrades were here too. So maybe they could find the other hostages too. Aaron threw a guard far that ran towards them while Claudio spoke.

—Boy, Do you know the road? —Aaron shakes his head. He could feel the presence of the tool tracking of at least one of his friends. But even if he can feel it, it is difficult to find the correct road. Maybe, it would be best if he could run in a straight line. Because he wasn't like the boss that had experience in this kind of place.

—Do you feel where the hostages are? —Aaron nodded and said.

—Maybe, they stayed to the east of the factory —Claudio started to walk in a direction when Aaron said this.

—Wait, where are you going? —Claudio laughed and said.

—I don't know the road from here on out but I know that if we continue following you, we will never arrive —Aaron couldn't say anything to refute —I had more experience in this kind of place even if I don't the road, I think that I could find it with a little of effort. You have to only protect me, boy.

—Yes —Aaron felt depressed by his uselessness but he didn't have time to think about that now. But he silently promised to himself become stronger and intelligent. He didn't want to be a burden again.

***

Rosalba was tired and her view was turning blurred. Her blood was an excellent magic weapon but the difference of strength couldn't be made up for it. Peter noticed it too and increasing the attack he managed to wound Rosalba.

—Agh! —Rosalba fell to the ground with a shout of pain.

—I can't understand you. Why do you reject the opportunity to be stronger? —Rosalba didn't even take the trouble to talk.

—Haa…It's really a pity —Rosalba suddenly made a little smile when the magic tool into her body resounded.

—Maybe —Rosalba took out several spheres from her clothes.

—Magic bomb? —Peter said somewhat surprised and after a second he ridiculed Rosalba —Are you trying to sacrifice your life in an attempt to take me with you? Don't be naive —Rosalba manipulated the magic and when the spheres started to shine. She said-

—I had never said that it was for you —Peter was surprised but Rosalba teleported the spheres to different places and put the majority in the reactor.

—Kaifa!

—F*ck.

The whole place started to tremble and Rosalba teleported herself before the rubbles fell on her. She was sure that Aaron had managed to rescue the hostages so Rosalba fainted after she teleported.

***

—Ah… —Rosalba opened her eyes and saw a beautiful but unknown roof.

—Boss? Are you awake? —Aaron appeared in front of her.

—Aaron, are you okay? —He nodded and said.

—Yes —Rosalba blinked and asked.

—How are the hostages? —Aaron looked at her pale face for a moment before he started to talk.

Aaron and Claudio find the cells and the people. They were controlled like whole the people in the city but they were fine. Aaron awakened his friend to force and together save the people. Then Aaron put the Magic bombs in the place and ran quickly. Fortunately, no one was injured.

When they destroyed the factory the spell in the city was eliminated. So the whole people recovered their senses. They were in the castle of the lord of the city. The lord was severely reprimanded by the king. So he had taken the charge of the searching of Peter and the people who manage to escape. The subordinates that were alive were caught.

Rosalba took a breath of relief. Fortunately, everything was okay —So, how many days have I been asleep? —Aaron looked at her with a look that said 'why do you ask it only until now?' Rosalba ignored it.

—Two days —Mmm… It was less than she expected.

—Oh, By the way, the emperor was looking for you —The eye of Rosalba twitched. She had forgotten that Nicholas should have been very worried because they couldn't send any message.

—Oh, really? —Aaron nodded and said —It is better that you call him as soon as you can —Aaron still remembered how terrifying was the face of the emperor when he told about the condition of Rosalba.

Aaron felt a chill in his back and incite Rosalba to call before he left the room. Rosalba sighed and lay in the bed again. She had to plan her apology very well.
