Chapter 9: Nashandra's Request

Without much hesitation, Hades took off his clothes and entered the pond, he had previously checked to see if there were any dangerous animals in this place, but Nashandra said he did not have to worry, but if there were animals in this place, none of them would attack Hades.

Entering the water, Hades felt his muscles begin to relax, causing the tiredness he felt to diminish greatly.

Sighing slightly, he closes his eyes and tries to relax his muscles as much as possible, not every day he could find something like this pond. After a while resting, Hades opens his eyes and looks to his right with furrowed brows. Because of the numerous battles he faced, Hades became intensely sensitive to any kind of murderous intent, whether directed at him or not.

And while he was resting Hades felt that something was approaching where he was, to be more exact, he felt that something that was with some murderous intention was approaching where he was, he could feel that this thing was just a few. meters from where he was. Another thing that worried him was that this thing was not after him, so much so that the murderous intention was not for him, but for someone else. It made Hades believe there was someone else coming to where he was.

Getting up quickly, Hades gets ready and prepares for battle, unfortunately, the monster or person was already too close, and based on the speed he was approaching, it would not help Hades to run away, so he decided to stay and try fight this monster, of course if the monster attacked him, because if the monster didn't attack him he would just run away.

It was not long before Hades began to hear some noises, and soon after a while he saw some things coming out of the forest. When Hades saw what it was, he frowned. Luckily or even unlucky for Hades, what appeared in front of him was a group of people, to be exact there were about 5 people: 2 girls and 3 men.

With a single glance, even Hades who was unfamiliar with anything in this world can see that these people were not normal people, especially the 2 girls.

One of the girls had blond hair and blue eyes that were quite short that reached her neck, she would be a great beauty if it wasn't for the fact that she was an airport. This woman had a silver-colored sword in her hand wearing a gray-colored armor that seemed to be made of a rather strange material, at least Hades had never seen anything like it. The armor she was wearing was badly damaged, you could see that the part of her left shoulder was destroyed, she had a very serious wound on that shoulder where you could see a lot of blood.

Already the other woman was totally different from the swordsman, she had black hair that came to her waist and green eyes. Unlike her friend, she was not wearing any kind of armor, but a kind of black cloak that had some golden symbols. This woman didn't look hurt, the only thing she had was that not only her cloak but her face were extremely dirty and messy, Hades also realized she looked very tired as she was sweating and panting a lot.

Already the 3 men, they had the same kind of short brown hair, the eyes were the same color as the hair, unlike the swordsman not only the armor but even the sword they were wearing seemed to be quite normal.

Hades realized that one of the men had a very serious chest injury, this man was being carried by the other 2 men.

When this group of people saw Hades, they stopped running and stood a few feet from where he was.

The swordsman was confused, she didn't believe she could find anyone in this forest. Because of the sudden appearance of Hades, not only the swordsman but the whole group of people were surprised, so much so that they forgot for a moment the monster that was chasing them, the first person who acted was one of the men who was carrying the man. with the chest wound. He released his friend and quickly approached the girl with the sword. As he approached her, he said something that made not only her but Hades frown.

"Leader, we should use this stranger as Isak to escape, if we don't do that we will have a big problem bringing Joey back alive…"

The man who said that didn't speak quietly, so Hades could hear. Whether it was purposeful or not he didn't know, but when Hades heard it he didn't hesitate to be on guard, he didn't bother killing those people if necessary.

But contrary to what Hades expected, the woman who appeared to be the leader looked coldly at the man and said:

"Are you crazy Ralf? I don't care what you think, I won't use an innocent person to escape. We who have been careless in alerting that monster cannot use an innocent person to escape. "

The man named Ralf wanted to answer the swordsman, only before he could speak, the red-haired woman snorted and said coldly to him:

"Wanting to use innocents to survive, bastard!"

Ralph showed an expression of anger and shame, when he was going to answer her, the swordsman shouted with both:

"Enough, we don't have time for that. We will not use this stranger as bait! Let's get another way quickly "

Without waiting for anyone to respond, the swordsman moved quickly and headed toward Hades' left part of the forest. The others went quickly too, just the red-haired girl stopped and looked at Hades for a while. With a confused expression she murmured in a tone that only she could hear:

"Why do I get the feeling I've seen this guy? Forget it, I better get out of here quickly. "

Seeing the departure of the group of people, Hades finally lowered his guard. But before he could do anything, Nashandra's voice echoed again in her head, which she said made Hades frown again.

"My child, go and help this group of people!'
