Non-Humanoid

Ning ran toward Saburn.

He had a general idea of what he could do to get out of this situation as soon as he could, and it only lay in Saburn's direction.

The other 6 people were about as strong as Saburn, but they were unified. If things got too dangerous, they would move in to help each other. But Saburn… it was rather unlikely.

Maybe he would get some help if he was an actual ruler of this land, but as the fake ruler, Ning had more chances than not.

Saburn, even through his seething anger, realized that Ning was coming toward him. He looked in the direction of the men that chose to not pursue him and wondered what he was supposed to do.

"Can I kill him or not?" he shouted at the men.

"You must keep him alive for the Emperor," one of the men said.

"What about hurting him?" he asked.

"Only alive," the men said.
