As soon as we get out of that near-death situation, I look around still a little bit because I'm almost out of Mana and spirit energy.
What I see are hundreds of tornadoes, but they were spread far apart for the most part, but I could see them moving slowly which made some collide with each other, at least that's what I thought, I was worried that another situation like the one we just left was going to happen, so I ran to where Marcos was to talk to him.
"Tell me we won't have to do this again." (I)
"..." (Marcos)
"Wake up! We don't have time for that right now." (I)
When I arrived at the ship's control room again, Marcos had his face in disbelief as he looked ahead, I think he was either surprised by our attacks or was surprised by the Dragon head that popped out of nowhere.
"Don't worry, it can be a little dangerous, but I have the confidence to navigate this place, unlike before there's a lot of space between one tornado and another which leaves me with options that I can use different from before where we were surrounded." (Frames)
"Good thing, I don't think I could make another attack like that." (I)
After that I told Layla to keep an eye on the ship that was rocking a lot, she would be responsible for letting me know quickly if something happens, but if it's something she can solve, I'll leave it in Freya's hands who will watch Layla.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI went back to the Dungeon and went straight to the city where it's still stuck mid-afternoon, I sat in the first restaurant here and ordered some food and alcohol.
Soon Vanessa comes over and sits down across from me, I tell the Hobgoblin waiter to bring double what I ordered now that I have someone along with me.
"You look tired, did something happen on the ship? I heard someone brought urgent news and then you started running non-stop." (Vanessa)
"Don't worry, it was the storm and some tornadoes, it's already taken care of." (I)
"But you know I'm tired for other reasons too." (I)
"It's not my fault you let the work pile up." (Vanessa)
"Why is this my job?" (I)
"Because you are the King, I thought that was obvious, Father." (Vanessa)
"But why do I have to be the King? Can't I leave it to Ivan who was from a royal family or to you?" (I)
"Almost everyone in this place chose to follow you, don't forget you accepted that kind of responsibility." (Vanessa)
"I accepted to be the leader of a small village, not the King of a small town." (I)
"It's too late now and you know it." (Vanessa)
"But I just want to lie down and sleep for the rest of the day." (I)
"Not yet, you have to decide what you are going to do with the slaves we took from the pirates." (Vanessa)
"Is the one I left with Erica and Lilith still alive?" (I)
"I don't know if his situation can be considered life." (Vanessa)
After letting Lilith take a look at the slaves only finding two who didn't deserve help, obeying my orders Lilith used a curse that forces them to tell her the truth.
For the lightest criminal who was just a serial killer, I threw him off the ship in the middle of the ocean with his arms and legs still attached, I wanted to make him suffer like this for a few hours before a monster found him, but unfortunately, he was devoured before he reached the water, I had thrown him away, but before he fell into the water a monster jumped out and swallowed him whole.
The second was even worse, according to Lilith the Aura of revenge aimed at him was second only to her ex-husband and the King of Makari I killed, that means a lot since those two did things my mind dare not imagine.
To be compared to these two in such a disturbing way, this bastard was a real piece of trash in humanoid form.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter he started telling his story I felt like throwing up for the first time in my life in this world.
I won't think about the things he did anymore, but the way he became a slave on this continent while still being a Demon was well deserved.
From what he said, he had a year Lara take her partner from the criminal of the criminal organization they both had, but he was discovered and forced to become a slave, after which he was smuggled to that continent in hopes of dying in the worst possible way.
I wasn't going to let someone like him just die, so I'll be his fate leaving it in Erica and Lilith's hands.
He was the test material for these two curses for days, I didn't even dare go near the place where they were, I know that when he has received the proper punishment Lilith will kill him, but I told them both to include Hela as well since he needs to train more of his Necromancy.
After so many days this garbage Demon was still alive, I think Lilith still doesn't think he's suffered enough.
I turn my eyes to Vanessa who was in front of me.
"You still haven't told me how the slaves are doing." (I)
"They are fine, I think they will adapt very well, they all already know how to speak the common language, most of them are old adventurers or families of Adventurers." (Vanessa)
"Those who didn't know the common language learned it from other slaves, they were trying to escape, but their plans would never work." (Vanessa)
"If you think they're fine, then release them into town and see how they react to so many different races." (I)
"Now if you'll excuse me, I'm dead tired and I'm going to bed." (I)
After talking to her I went straight to my bed without saying anything else, I didn't even wait for the vomit or the alcoholic drink I ordered out of fear that she would get me more work if I was going to take more time with her.
