Chapter 767 ( Discovered - III )

"Yes" - answered Endou seriously - "I managed to follow Amanogawa until he reached a barrier that made his silhouette disappear... I didn't want to get any closer because it might alert him".

"You did a good job..." - Rika said as she nodded before getting to thinking - "Tell me, what do you think of the current situation?"

"That the probability that that Haulia clan kid is right is pretty high" - replied Endou while shaking his head - "If what Strife said is true, then Ehit's involvement in all our troubles is a clear indicator that he's supporting Amanogawa, especially now that he's gone into a villain route"

"Seriously, I still can't understand why you guys like to make so many comparisons to video games in situations like this" - Rika said while shaking her head - "Anyway, you have a point, so I guess now we'll just have to settle for rescuing those slaves and asking if they heard anything while being transported to this place."

"I think the report already came in, so I'm going to disappear for now, I promised that girl I'd take her on a date" - Endou sighed while shaking his head - "Seriously, it's so troublesome..."

Rika smiled slightly as she watched the black-haired boy disappear the moment a soldier entered their tent - "What's going on?"

"This is all the information we've managed to gather so far, Miss Rika" - said the soldier seriously.

Rika took the report and read it as fast as she could, only to frown - "Is this for real?"

"Yes, the slaves confirmed it, though it is possible that they are being affected by some ability of the traitor hero" - replied the soldier while shaking his head.

"I'm going to check for myself" - Rika said as she followed the soldier to the place where the slaves were.

"Who is the human?" - asked the lion man as he looked at the beautiful purple haired girl - "Some kind of prostitute to relieve the soldiers and adventurers?"

The soldiers were silent because they did not expect these words, although if they were honest, because of Rika's beauty it would not be something they would complain about, however, this they did not say out loud because they did not want to die yet

Rika let out a sigh before looking boredly at the lion man - "I want to know more about what happened while they were being moved to this place."

"We already said everything we know, that strange human brought us to this place because he wanted to use us for a ritual, we don't know what kind, but it was obviously no good" - the lion man said with annoyance - "Shortly before we were rescued, he seemed to sense their presences and escaped, so he probably has a companion, a high level scout because those rabbits are experts in stealth"

"Anything else?" - Rika asked calmly.

"That human is an expert at hiding his presence because the moment he left my range of vision, I lost his presence, and I don't want to sound proud, but I was the best hunter in my village before it was annihilated by the demons..." - The lion man replied with a grim look on his face.

"Anything else?" - Rika asked again.

The lion man was silent for a few seconds before shaking his head because no matter how much he thought about it, nothing else seemed to be important, no, that wasn't right, every single movement of that human was strange, the thing was that they didn't seem to be related, or were simply incomprehensible, like for example the times when he would disappear for a few hours.

"Wait, it's possible that he has a base nearby" - said the lion man while frowning - "That human would disappear from time to time and when he came back he was covered in a light scent of blood, possibly other victims like us"

"Slight?" - Rika repeated as she narrowed her eyes.

"Yes, possibly some blood splattered on his clothes as the victims were killed, though I'm not sure, it's just my guess" - replied the lion man as he shook his head - "Though it's quite likely that this is the case."

Rika frowned before looking at the others - "Did anyone else notice anything strange?"

"Miss, the bad man was talking to himself? - The little girl said as she hugged her mother. She was happy that they were safe at last, though she was still scared.

"He was talking to himself?" - Rika repeated as she looked at the little girl, then looked at the mother - "Is she serious?"

"Yes, we heard how he seemed to be having a conversation with someone, but there was no one beside him" - replied the mother as she nodded at her daughter's words, after all, she didn't want to create misunderstandings.

"I see..." - Rika muttered while frowning - "Thank you very much."

"No, we have to be the ones thanking them because if they hadn't shown up, it's possible that we..." - murmured the woman as she hugged her daughter.

"You don't have to say anything else" - said Rika as she nodded, then went back to the soldiers.

"What will happen to us?" - asked the lion man as he looked at Rika and realised that this beautiful human woman was more important than he thought.

"Nothing, you will be moved to the capital and you will be freed" - answered Rika as she looked back in the direction of the slaves - "As long as you have no record of crimes".

The slaves looked at each other before letting out a sigh.

"And what about me?" - The lion man asked.

"That can be taken care of by us" - said a lion man as he walked behind a group of Haulia clan members.

"Who are you, and why are you walking around as if you were the pet of those rabbits?" - asked the first lion-man with a frown.

"I'll explain later" - replied the second lion man as he shook his head.

"¿?" - the first lion man looked at him sceptically before following his compatriot.

"No one followed me, did they?" - Kouki asked with a frown as he felt a chill down his back.

[I didn't feel the presence of anyone near you.]

"Okay, so how long until Nakamura arrives?" - Kouki asked seriously, after all, she was the most important part of the plan.

[She'll arrive in two to three days, from what I could see, she's exhausted and can't come any faster.]

"This is troublesome, no matter how undercover we are, they'll find us in two days..." - Kouki said with a frown while looking at his sword - "Maybe I should adapt the plan and instead of waiting for Nakamura, I should use my pursuers as the final sacrifice?"

[Not a bad plan, the problem is that I can sense an energy source of a similar level to yours, not to mention that there are many presences that are hard to detect in my current state, so attacking could cause your death]

"If I don't do anything, I'll die anyway" - Kouki replied while looking at his sword - "Or I could even do something more radical..."

[What do you plan to do?]

"Use the sacrifices to increase the power of my sword and use my pursuers as sacrifices," replied Kouki as his eyes glittered with mischief.

[Not a bad plan, though you'll have to be careful.]

"I'm not as weak as you think" - said Kouki neutrally - "That aside, I want you to go tell Nakamura not to approach carelessly, after all, we can't let our seekers manage to capture her..."

"Ugh..." - Eri let out a groan of pain as she tried to wipe the blood from her body. She had been trying to expand her Undead forces, but with her current power she couldn't summon more than 10 without falling unconscious due to her mana shortage - "I've wasted too much time here..."

[I think the same thing, you've wasted too much time, my apostle.]

"I don't want to hear your voice, Ehit..." - Eri said with irritation at hearing the voice of the mad god - "What do you want?"

[Your beloved has a huge problem on his hands].

"Ehit? What's wrong?" - Eri asked in a trembling voice.

[Like I said, your beloved is in a lot of trouble, they found his location and now he's surrounded]

"Impossible, we covered our tracks and pretended we were heading to the dark continent!" - Eri exclaimed as she started sweating - "How did they find us!"

[I don't know, I don't care either, the only thing you need to know is that your beloved is in danger, and only you can help him!]

"I'll do anything, tell me what you need me to do!" - Eri exclaimed in terror as she began to sweat - "Tell me!"

[It's simple, you have to accept my power within you and completely become one of my apostles!]

Eri was silent for a few seconds before frowning - "Wouldn't that make me a puppet in your service?"

[You have to pay a price for the power you will gain...]
