Before the shop manager understands what Hein was saying, he felt a sudden pain in his legs.
His obese body slammed against the floor as he uttered a cry like a pig being butchered while coughing out some
blood.
Lowering his head in terror, he saw that two thin needle unknowingly struck both of his legs. The intense pain from his legs nearly caused the shop manager to faint.
However, he clenched his teeth and withstood it. He then opened his mouth and screamed as loud as possible, asking help from his guards.
"You can stop shouting. I already sent them ahead of you." Hein said indifferently.
Two blue colored cloaks appeared as he waved his hand. He slowly walked towards the trembling beastmen and gently wrapped it around the quivering body of the two beast girls as he slowly freed them.
"You... what do you intend to do? What did I do to you? I, I even treat you politely! What do you want? Money? I, I can give you anything..."
"I don't need it, anyway if I do need some money do you think I'll buy Fale from you? I would have just stolen her from you after killing you. Well, in the first place I just don't want to steal her, you know... call it my principle. That is why I bought her not stole her~"
"T, then what do you w, want?"
"Your life." Hein coldly answered.
Flames suddenly formed on the tip of his fingers as he lifted it.
"Why? I, I didn't do anything against you!" Watching the masked man with utter terror, the shop manager's fat face was utterly white.
Glancing impassively at the frightened fatty who was so scared that he lost control of his bowels.
A disgusting stench suddenly made Hein cover his nose. With slow continuous steps, he walked towards the squirming shop manager.
In the spacious room, Hein continued to walk towards the shop manager, who was groaning on the ground.
When he was in front of him, he halted his footsteps, lowered his head and gave a sudden light yet cold smile.
"Do you want to take your revenge?" Hein asked the two beastmen.
"...No, the two of us..." The girls seemed hesitant.
However, as if they were unable to resist their hatred, they eventually stepped forward and kicked the shop manager with their faces covered with bitter tears.
The shop manager had no time to beg for mercy, let alone resist. The two girls violently beat him up until the ground was littered with his teeth that would never grow again... well, if he even has the time to grow it.
After a few minutes of butcheri-, beating him up. The two girls' started feeling tired and exhausted as they slowly sat at the bed while catching their breath.
"H.. elp..."
Seeing that the two girls seemed satisfied, Hein decided to close the night.
His face was completely expressionless and seemed as if he didn't even hear the shop manager's plea.
If one looked at his steeled expression under his mask, even if it was a bloodthirsty criminal would feel a bit frightened.
The current Hein would make it hard for the people who knew him to believe that he and the previously ever-smiling, happy go lucky youth was the same person.
Halting his steps, Hein towered above the shop manager and stared at him.
He suddenly grinned but that full smile would make anyone who saw it to feel as if the grim reaper was standing beside them.
"Die, you scum...!"
Laughing lightly, Hein's pitch black pupils suddenly radiated even sharper killing intent.
Staring at the merciless and demon-like Hein, the shop manager's face turned white, as a frightened expression enveloped his face.
With a smile, Hein waved his hand.
Blue colored flames instantly left his hand and with lightning speed, it covered the shop manager, burning him into a pile of ashes in the blink of an eye. The shop manager didn't even have the time to scream.
"It's a pity that killing people would never drop an item or gold. Well, they're not monsters in the first place so unlike them they wouldn't even disappear after they died... but still, these blue flames is really strong though if not for the high MP consumption, this magic would have made into my killer move~ Oh well ..."
Coldly clapping his hands, Hein waved his hands once more. A wind swept away the ashes on the ground, leaving a clean floor. He then face the two beast girl.
"You two, do you want to escape from here? If you want then you can come with me." Without waiting for their answers, Hein turned around and started walking towards the door.
When they arrived at the place Hein told the beast girl from before to gather, they saw a group have already gathered.
The group consists of over fifty people- High elves, dark elves, dwarves, rabbitmen, catsmen, dogsmen, wolfmen and many other types of beastmen.
Upon seeing that Hein have arrived, the beastgirl Hein met first stepped forward and greeted them.
"Is this all?" Hein asked.
"Y, yes"
"E, excuse me... a, are you really going to help us escape?"
One of the people in the crowd slowly stepped out and said with a very rigid voice.
Hearing her voice, it seemed to be coming from a teenage girl.
When Hein glanced at her, he realized that the girl was actually an elf.
An elf girl with silver hair and sharp pointed ears!
Although she's wearing very plain clothes, her exquisite-looking face cannot be completely concealed.
Seeing that Hein seemed was in a daze, she continued.
"W, we don't have anything of value that we can reward you but p, please help us..."
Shaking his head, Hein let out a bitter smile.
"Don't worry about it.... However, if you want to escape from here without asking my help then you can do so if you suspect my motives but allow me to warn you first hand.
If you walked out from here in a large crowd you will likely be suspected and be caught by the guards. Maybe you will be once again caught by some other slave traders or in worst killed~ Well, not like it really matters to me
though~"
When Hein let those words out, the people who heard it immediately quieted.
"... Human, you're a human right? Why are you helping us? "A man with dog ears asked.
"Don't worry it's just on a whim. I have some business with the manager here and seeing that you will likely be killed as soon as you left this place then why not help you out... I have some free time after all~" Hein answered while shrugging his shoulders in a casual manners.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.
Seeing his nonchalant behavior, the slaves who saw him couldn't help but smile.
"I never expected that there's such a human like you... we will believe you. Thank you so much~"
"Forget it~ Anyway, for now form a five to six people group."
Hein took some purple-grey colored stones on his [ Spatial Rings ] and gave each to the groups.
"These are [ Skill Stones ]. On it was the skill [ Long-range teleportation ] skill. Use it to teleport to the nearest forest outside the kingdom... oh before that...
Air compressed!... smaller... smaller... smaller... and yosh... this should be okay"
Hein spread his arms above him. He then moved his arms closer and closer as if he was hugging something in the air.
In an instant, a huge ball of air was formed on his hands as he continued to make it smaller.
The people who witnessed such amazing thing could only stare at him with wide eyes and slack jawed.
They don't know nor understand what Hein was doing so they could only look at him quietly, afraid to disturb him.
When the ball of air was compressed until it became twice the size of a basketball, Hein immediately stopped. He then carefully left it floating in front of him.
"Uum..What is that?" One of the curious beastman with rabbit ears asked.
Hein glanced at him and said with a gentle voice, "This is a bomb."
"Bomb?"
"Un! I saw it from One Pie*e once ... I call it [ Air Bomb ], this will go Kaboom~" Hein explained casually.
[ Air Bomb ] a magic spell Hein created by using his inherent skill [ Create Magic ].
By compressing the air around him into small size, the pressure will accumulate and after Hein activate it; the accumulated pressure will then go kaboom and will explode as if it were a sonic bomb.
"Well, forget about this... now then let's go!"
An intense light covered the whole place and the over twenty people including Hein vanished in an instant, leaving a
huge explosion that wrecked the whole slave shop to pieces.
Even the ground trembled and caused a huge earthquake, blasting the surroundings.
... ...
Under the starry skies, the slaves, or former slaves were looking around, dumbfounded.
They were inside the slave shop just now but in the blink of an eye, they found themselves inside the forest.
Although they heard about skill stones, however this is after all the first time they experienced teleporting like this.
Truthfully, they were a little scared.
They just met Hein for the first time after all. In fact, Hein was a human, the same race who enslaved them but they still followed him obediently.
All this time, they always dreamed to be freed from this kind of life.
When Hein appeared, some slaves looked at him wearily, some anxiously and there were also those who looked at him in or worship but he didn't care about it.
He stood up and shouted at them.
"All of you listen up. For those who have a place to return to then you can now leave. This is outside of the capital thus no one will catch you because they don't know that you are runaway slaves. For those who don't have anywhere to go then stay behind."
For a moment, all the slaves were stunned silly as they stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond or react.
After a few minutes of being in dazed, the word 'Free' seemed to be finally made it towards their minds as their whole bodies trembled and shouted out in joy all at once, seemingly causing the ground to slightly shake.
Under the beautiful starry sky, the 'former' slaves knelled and kowtowed in front of Hein, making him scratch his head in embarrassment.
After saying their heartfelt gratitude to Hein, the 'former' slaves started to disperse.
With expressions filled with hope, excitement, and happiness, they left the forest.
Only twenty-eight people stayed behind - consist of 9 human girls and 13 human males.
They were most likely Debt slaves; meaning even if they can return to their families they would most likely be hunted or caught to become once again slaves... might as well make their families think they're dead.
The other six were demi-humans.
Four were beastmen, including the two Hein met in the shop manager's room who decided to follow Hein and the little girl Hein first met.
The other two were Dwarves - Female dwarves actually but if one looks at them they will surely, without a doubt mistook them as men because of their bulging muscles and triangular faces.
Looking at the people who stayed behind, Hein lightly smiled and nodded.
"Now then, all of you come with me. I will bring you to a place you can temporarily live. Although I don't know if that place will agree to it...
More likely, will they even welcome me?...
Oh well, no need to worry about these things for now, might as well as try~"
When Hein turned around and started to walk, a short figure suddenly stepped forward and called him,
"Wait... uum... master..."
Perplexed, Hein faced the short figure while tilting his head. The short figure was actually one of the female dwarves.
"What is it? And you can just call me Hein, being called master is kinda... anyway how can I help you?"
"T, that's..."
The dwarf female looks hesitant at first, but then she slowly took out an antique book from the cloth hidden in her chest.
The book was made of bronze so it would never fade. The cover had four words engraved on it -The cursed weapon legacy.
"...A long time ago, there was a clan of artists...a clan whose sole purpose is to create the strongest items and weapons in the world. They created weapons with no equal...but they were still not satisfied..."
