chapter 15: Escape

"What's going on!" The guard James stood with his mouth open in shock, he was so surprised that he could not speak, no matter what he thought, he could not find any logical reason for the sight in front of him.

Arthur stood naked in front of him, his body was full of scars and signs of whip blows, his right hand was tied to his body by a few strips of cloth, his hand was rotten and blue in color.

Arthur has not been moving this hand for the past 5 months, and it has remained fixed to one position, which caused it to rot, he has not felt this hand for a long time.

James closed his mouth, calmly approached Arthur and with his eyes full of caution and doubt, he is sure that Arthur has lost his right hand.

He saw it through his own two eyes, the day Don Bernardo's bodyguards brought Arthur here.

Arthur stood very calmly while his mind was filled with various thoughts, he has revealed his matter, and he is sure that the news will reach don Bernardo, who in turn may come and drive Arthur to the laboratories to be tested on him in an attempt to find out the secret of this ability.

Arthur's fear may seem an irrational thing, but he has every right to be afraid, the inhabitants of this world are no different from the inhabitants of the earth world, who whenever they find something that contradicts their logic, they lock him up and make him a mouse for experiments.

James stood in front of Arthur and began to touch his hand very calmly, took a small knife out of his pocket and with it cut the cloth strip wrapped around Arthur's body.

As soon as James untied Arthur's hand, it dangled without any sign of life, James grabbed the same knife and pricked Arthur's hand, causing a small wound, from which some red-black blood flowed.

The more James saw this, the more he doubted and puzzled, there was an idea looming in his brain but he didn't want to believe it.

He looked at Arthur's face to find him giving him a blank look, as soon as James wanted to say a certain thing, he was surprised to see Arthur's left hand walking quickly towards him.

With a faltering movement he managed to avoid the blow, then he remembered that he forgot to tie Arthur , and that's because he was shocked to see Arthur's hand.

"Stop!" When James wanted to catch Arthur, he was surprised that he launched another attack on him.

The blow this time was an attack by the index finger, Arthur's movement was so fast that James could not avoid it.

Drop!

Blood sprayed from the abdomen of James, who was injured, the blow was so strong that it pierced James's armor but because of this the blow did not cause much damage, when James regained his balance he sent a punch that hit Arthur's head and made him feel a little dizzy.

Arthur's vision was a little blurry due to the force of the punch, but he was able to regain clarity for himself and sent another Shigan attack, Arthur's blow was successful this time and he managed to hit the guard James in the chest.

James, who couldn't believe what was going on, his vision started to get blurry and his blood filled the ground, he was careless.

Arthur is unable to defeat James in an actual fight, but because James lowered his guard and was lax in his attacks, Arthur was able to cause him severe harm.

With another powerful punch Arthur knocked James unconscious, when Arthur saw the view in front of him his heart began to beat at an insane speed, he knew that he had made an irreparable mistake.

Now he has only one option and that is to escape, if he is caught, his life will turn into a hell bigger than the hell he is living now.

Arthur looked around and found that he had not been noticed by anyone yet, he examined James ' body until he found a set of Keys, picked them up and began to sneak out of the prison where he is being held.

With slow steps, Arthur moved quietly while he was out, whenever he reached a corridor and heard voices talking, he changed direction or tried to cross quickly without anyone noticing him.

...…

"What is this?" One of the guards stood by one of the walls and looked around perplexedly, but he found only barrels and wooden boxes.

"Was I imagining or what!" After looking around for some time he came back to his place, he thought he saw something passing quickly from one of the corridors.

Arthur hid inside one of the barrels and his heart was beating at a tremendous speed, the unpleasant smell of rotting potatoes surrounded him, these boxes contained some old supplies through which slaves were fed.

He lifted the lid of the box and took a look at his surroundings before getting out of the box, after leaving that aisle he continued to walk quietly between the aisles.

BAM!

"Hey boy, how did you get out of your cell!" Arthur looked behind him to find one of the slaves looking at him through a small hole in one of the Iron Doors.

Arthur had never seen this part of the prison, so he did not expect that there would be slaves in these almost completely closed cells.

"Come on, tell me boy, how you did it!" The slave continued watching Arthur through his crazy-filled eyes as he spoke in a hoarse voice.

Arthur looked at the long corridor in front of him full of cells and had a devilish thought, he looked at the slave being held in front of him and smiled sweetly.

Or that was Arthur's intention, because his smile was too frightening even for a captive slave.

Arthur took out the keys that he took from James, he opened the slave's cell in front of him, at first he thought that there would be no key that could open this cell, but he was surprised by its existence.

Click!

This sound was the sound of freedom for the detained slave, he came out of his cell and looked at Arter standing in front of him.

At first he thought about stealing the keys from him but changed his mind, and then ran away trying to sneak out.

Arthur kept holding the keys and opened all the cells in front of him, there was one key for all the cells.

Arthur's laugh was very broad, he was planning to spread chaos in the prison so that he could escape.

The slaves began to run away in all directions, there were handcuffs around their necks, but they quickly solved this problem after they caught one of the guards, took his keys and freed themselves.

....

TOOOOOOT! TOOOOOOT!

The sound of the siren inside the slave prison made all the guards arm up and gather to catch the escaped slaves, but the number of escaped slaves was the opposite of what they expected.

Arthur ordered all the slaves he freed to free any slave they met, and also ordered them to arm and kill any guard they found so that the news of their escape would not spread too quickly.

The slave prison did not have surveillance cameras and a strong security team, no one expected the slaves to escape.

All Arthur's orders were in order, and the reason he did this was that most of the slaves had lost their clarity, so their escape in a disorganized way would bring problems on Arthur and thwart his plans.

Amid the chaos and carnage that erupted between the guards and the slaves, Arthur quietly sneaked out, and managed to get out of the giant prison, while running madly away from him.

Arthur finds himself in a big trouble there is one way out of Mary Geoise, namely the giant elevators used by the Celestial Dragons and their followers.

Therefore, he is forced to enter Mary Geoise and escape in front of the eyes of all those people.

Arthur stood up and confusion fills his mind, he is thinking about waiting for the other slaves to make a big mess in the middle of Mary Geoise so that he can escape.

But he also thought that if he ran away with their company, he would be subjected to great resistance by the guards, unlike if he managed to sneak out alone.

"What are you thinking, Boy!" Someone spoke from behind Arthur, while he patted him on the shoulder very calmly.

These words were like lightning in Arthur's ear, making his heart cool down, while sweat began to seep from his forehead without a sign of stopping.

Arthur slowly turned his head and looked back, there was a man in his thirties with a noble appearance standing quietly behind him, his gaze was very calm, his sky blue armor made him look like one of the Knights in fairy tales.

His white hair reaching up to his neck, his small mustache and light beard, made his facial features look cute.

"Catch this bastard child" A sound came from somewhere far from them, when Arthur saw the owner of the voice, he froze in his place!
