Chapter 158: Rescue



Chapter 158: Rescue

Slavery has been part of human history and that cannot be erased by forgetting it. Even novels and popular media now feature slavery in characters making this a common topic. Of course, that doesn't mean in modern times, doing slavery is okay. It never became an okay thing and it will never be. Seeing the big cages with people inside makes me seethe in rage. Screw the mission, I will trash this place to ashes.

"Hey, Kazuma! Calm yourself down and keep your head cool!" Blue said.

"And what, leave them be on their fates? I won't just stand idly and leave these people be!"

Blue did not even get to argue with me as I drink the reverter to revert myself to normal size. The slaves were surprised by my sudden appearance and they quickly huddle on the corner of the cages. The male slaves are ready to fight if necessary.

"Don't be alarmed guys, I am not one of those guys that kidnapped you in here. I just sneaked in here to get you all out."

The others were not convinced but I didn't care. I was just about to destroy the locks on their cages when one of the patrolling thugs noticed me. 

"Hoooo, an intruder huh... how brave of you to enter the lion's den by yourself," the thug slowly approached with his menacing big body displayed in front of me, probably to intimidate me into submission. 

But that only failed miserably for him. I am not afraid of that body of his, instead, I wanted to squish it to smithereens right here, right now.

"Let's finish this quick," I mumbled.

"Huh?!" before he realized what happened, I overload his body with mana, causing him to feel heavy.

He is still conscious but that won't last long as he is struggling to even breathe properly. I still control the mana that I inserted in his body. Manipulating the mana, I immediately disabled most of his body functions, making him suffer but enough to let him live. Of course, he will instead wish he is dead than living while suffering from the injury. Death is a mercy to these lowly humans.

After dealing with him, I immediately move to the cages and looked at the locks. The good thing is that the locks are just simple padlocks and not some complicated ones. There is no need for a key on this one, with a snap, I melt the padlock and destroyed it, allowing me to open the first cage. There are also padlocks in other cages but they are nothing to me.

The slaves were not sure whether they have to escape or not seeing me who is currently standing outside their respective cages.

"Don't come out yet, the enemies are still on the lookout. Yuto, Yuri, come out."

With my call, my two familiars appeared from thin air.

"What are we going to do, Master?" Yuri asked.

"Lull them all to sleep."

Without second thoughts, the two activated their abilities to the slaves who are not expecting things like that to happen to them. In just a few seconds, all of the slaves fell asleep as nothing happened.

"What should we do next, Master?" Yuto asked me.

"Beat up all the enemies that come in to retrieve the slaves. Defeat them without killing them, we will hand them to the magician society later."

"Understood, Master!"

...

Leaving my two familiars behind, I started to move and look around the innermost area of the Underground Mall. Since I entered the place via the Shrinky Candy, I am not pretty familiar with the surrounding sectors of the place. When I turn to the side of the walls, a group of gangsters appeared in my sight.

"An intruder!"

They are annoying so before they can ask for help, I will be silencing them first.

"Get paralyzed!"

SNAP!

"URK!"

"GAH!"

"F*CK!"

Without bothering to look at what happened, I continue to walk down the path of the road and try to see what else is hidden here.

All the nooks and corners of the place are being explored to map out the place especially the suspicious corners of the place using [Insight] ability to avoid getting lost in this labyrinth Underground Mall. If this was the real underground mall, you won't be easily lost since you can just follow anyone and you will eventually find what you are looking for along the way, in this realm, on the other hand, there are hardly any helpful guide in here. More like dangerous locals ready to prey on you once you lower your guard.

Then, when I made a turn, I was surprised to see a dead end.

"What the hell? A dead-end? But according to my insight, there should be supposed a hallway that connects to a room here. Why I am seeing a wall instead?"

No matter where I look at it, it is a wall. However, I have my suspicions. Most people will just avoid the wall if they ever found one in an alley, but due to my [Insight] telling me it is a hallway instead of a wall, this might be that thing.

I tried holding the wall with my hand but to my surprise, it was not even solid. It was like there was nothing there at all!

"A classic illusion huh..." I sighed. So there were also classic wall illusions around here. I thought that only exist in games...

Since it was just a basic illusion and I can pass through it without any sort of problems, I continue to move forward.

WHACK! WHACK!

What are those loud noises I keep hearing after entering the illusion? When I was still outside the wall, I don't think I am hearing any of those.

WHACK!

There it is again. And this time, it is a bit more near and I am not sure if this was the sound of someone whacking another person or it is an actual sound of a whip since it sounded like one. Getting near the location, I am now certain that the sound I am hearing just now is a whip. Someone is whipping something without any sort of sign that this someone will stop the whipping. Also, I am now able to hear someone in the room with an angry voice.

"This motherf*cking cat! You might be some sort of strong beast but you are nothing right now! Your life is on the line and whether the boss likes it or not, you will follow my orders! Understood? UNDERSTOOD?! ANSWER ME!"

The guy whipping is sure to exhibit some sort of superiority vibe in his voice. And he was abusing a cat?! Such a disgrace, is he doing this to torture everyone who likes cats?

When I can get near, I saw a tall and bulky man holding a big whip."

"GET SUBMISSIVE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!"

This guy raised his whip once more but I can't tolerate it doing anything to the poor cat like that again so before the end of the whip land, I release a little bit of flame that devours everything and burned the whip.

"What the? My whip! Who cut my whip?!" the guy shouted as he waved the handle of the whip.

"Still aggressive despite having his weapon missing? Oh, what a guy," I said before closing the gap between us and releasing the damage to his body as soon as possible.

I kick the back of his knees causing him to lose strength in his legs and was forced to kneel. When the knees touched the ground, I immediately grab his neck and aimed my hands on his throat.

"You can't treat me like that kid. You can only see that in movies."

I grinned. "Oh really?"

Without him noticing, I slowly touch his neck using the tip of my nails and slowly ignite my hands in flames. Black flames as black as the night sky appeared on my hands. This flame is the hottest variant in my skills. The gangster almost wet his pants when he saw the flames in my hands and slowly push my hands to the guy.

"Now, are you sure I am not a threat for you~?"

...

The guy collapsed on the ground after beating him up so badly. I wanted to beat him up to pulp before he wakes up again but I decided not to do it instead. Besides, just like the last guy before, I already disabled most of his motor functions by using mana tweaks. He will wish he was dead instead.

Now that the threat is taken off, I looked around the room first. First that I noticed is the smell of some sort of incense? I am not confident if it is incensed but it smells like one. Just like the first room where the slaves are kept, this place is also full of cages. The only difference is that the cages are empty which allowed me to sigh in relief. 

However,.my eyes landed on the cat that this guy is mentioning earlier but... no matter how you look at it, this is not a cat but a white tiger.
