Out of the Dungeon!

(Noah's Pov)

And with that, we have somehow found the people Vipers have held captive!

What happened to the guards? Meh, Alfred and Daniel took care of them.

At any rate, we found the captives, slaves, products, whichever word fits your bill thanks to my system.

Now, what to do?

"How about we just break these cells?"

"I don't think we should, if we do they had mostly likely alert others. We have to unlock the gates."

"Let me record it all!"

"Hmm?"

Alfred, Daniel, Elora, and Luna all seemed to be busy with their own shit and I was with mine.

You see, if I want to get to the exit I will have to blitz my way through a bunch of strong people and I am not strong enough to do so. Basically, well, fuck.

What do I do?

When are those raid guys gonna come anyway?

"System-san what's going on the outside?" 

I asked the system 

...and oh lord, in just a minute I received terrible news.

Not really, well change of plans.

I focused on creating a butterfly, one that would be able to speak while Luna simply kept staring at me creating the butterfly with amazement evident in her eyes.

Honestly, I would rather use a speaker and announce it but I can't since these guys are with me.

Gotta play a good guy role.

In another 10 minutes or so, I was finally done. It wasn't really good-looking or anything but it had its main job and that's all I cared about.

I set the butterfly free to reach the person it was intended for.

Now then.

"The hell y'all are staring at me for?"

I could understand Luna... actually, I can't understand her, anyway, why are Alfred, Daniel, and Elora ..and some of the Elves captives looking at me?

"H-how could you create ..."

I rolled my eyes over.

"I can, now fuck off. And why haven't you been able to unlock the doors yet? We don't have all day"

"If certain someone would rather help us instead of just sitting, then maybe we could have made some progress"

"For the love of all that is holy, you do realize you just admitted that you all are useless without me, a fucking kid, right?"

Daniel went silent at those words of mine and then angrily stomped his feet on the ground before walking away and started working on trying to unlock the doors.

And then in a second, a gust of wind hit my face as the figure of a commander came into my view, standing in front of the entrance.

"Commander!" 

Daniel went running towards the commander.

"We found the base where these bastards have been keeping all the victims!"

"You have done a spectacular job Daniel but... why has your party broken the formation you were supposed to be following?"

At those words, Daniel shut up, hesitated, and then after looking at me began to speak.

"It was my fault, I ended up leading the group the wrong path and then we ended up losing ourselves until we stumbled upon here by mistake"

...Did he just try to cover up for me?

Ew...

"'By mistake, you say..." 

The commander uttered in a low voice, duh, he did.

No way in hell someone who asked him for the exit would stumble by mistake here is what's probably on his mind.

Honestly, it's all fun to watch them talk pretending, and shit but I am not interested right now.

"I will only say it once, fucking tell me right now"

In an instant, every single one of the captives had an ice spike touching their throat. If I wanted I could kill them at any time.

Everyone's eyes in the room widened, their shock and disbelief were evident ...except Luna who seemed to be acting like nothing was wrong.

"W-what are you doing!?" Daniel shouted

"Noah stop right now, this isn't a joke!" Alfred said with a frown on his face.

"I don't know what you are thinking about but how about we talk this out? You should first release your magic, right?" The commander's panic was easy to spot.

Spurlt!

Squelch!

In an instant, I killed 5 people.

"I ain't interested in your charade and if you think you can kill me before I could do anything then... you are fucking wrong. You can kill me but every last one of your slaves will die here. So think carefully."

"You are underestimating an SS- ranker"

"Are you sure you have the liberty to take that 1 percent risk? If they die then what will you tell your buyer?"

(Commander's Pov)

Creepy.

This brat was just plain creepy.

That was the only way I could explain the feeling I got from him.

The way he nonchalantly killed those people, the way he spoke, his inexpressive face, and those ...empty looking eyes devoid of any life.

Is he even human?

I couldn't help but ask myself.

I shook my head lightly, that wasn't important right now, what matters is to deal with him, I had initially thought of capturing him as a slave but now ...I needed to kill him.

I feel like I will end up regretting capturing him.

With a speed of bust, I launched myself towards him, tightening my fist, I directed my punch at his face.

Die, brat

"W-what!?"

I couldn't help but blurt out as the strong gust of wind pushed me back. My punch had ended up connecting with something and rebounded the attack towards me.

And then I saw, the brat had a various hexagonal formed shield protecting him.

"Ain't it cool? It deflects the attacks from even high-rankers. I sto-I got it from a place where they kept on fighting and all"

The moment he said those words, another sound of splurting, and squelch resounded.

T-This bastard.

"How many more would it take you to understand?" 

That's all he said and I..

Gritting my teeth, clenching my jaw I spoke.

"Go and no one will get in your way"

He stood up from his position and started walking away, the girl on his side started following him.

As I saw him walking away anger began to boil within me.

"Hey, you didn't say anything about this right?" 

Squelch!

I believe this man was Alfred, he had come along with him, hadn't he?

Let's see how he had reac-

"The fuck you tryna talk about?" He tilted his head to the side posing that question with the same monotonous voice.

"C-commander?" It was Daniel who spoke up, his body trembling and Noah started to walk away.

I ignored Daniel and the other journalist girl who was on the ground shivering.

Ignoring them, I looked at him walking away.

...What the hell is he?

And now I am out of the dungeon!

Hell yeah!

Where am I now?

On the Floating Island!

Illegally.

Anyway, let's go to the hidden dungeon.

Thinking so, I started walking with a burger in my hand. Let's eat the burger.

I also somehow managed to communicate with Luna to fucking stay behind!

Alfred is dead and so are most of my problems!

No one's gonna say about my killing the captives anymore to anyone!

...I hope Daniel and Elora get done in there too.

I mean, I know they have a small part in the novel but you know, it's small so it doesn't matter.

Ahem Ahem.

Let's go to our intended place and wait for her to come. I mean, I do need someone in order to get inside the dungeon.

I had thought of taking Luna along with me but the way she is currently, she would probably die, I don't want the potentially useful person to die like that.

Man, I am starting to feel like all I did was unnecessary. I could have just teleported here but then... I do need some alibi to be away for the time I will be inside the hidden dungeon.

Meh, it all works so who cares.
