Chapter 53: Rescue and Resolve

Liora looked at the bodies of the goblins she had just killed in disgust before walking up to the tied woman, deciding not to let her emotions get the best of her now.

She knelt down and grabbed the ropes binding the woman, slowly beginning to untie them. The ropes came loose, dropping to the ground as the woman was finally free.

The blue-haired woman hesitantly stood up and took a few steps back to create distance between them. Liora could tell that this woman didn't fully trust her, and that made sense, as she too was a Beast Tamer—just like the one who had ordered her capture.

"W-who are you?" the woman asked, the nervousness in her voice palpable, her eyes wide with fear and on the brink of tears from her recent trauma.

'Oh, you poor soul,' Liora thought with a sorry expression.

"Don't be alarmed. I've come to save you all," Liora said as she took slow steps toward her, her hands up in a gesture of peace to show that she meant no harm.
