Episode 237 Rescue (2)
It was late afternoon when Lois and Erica met.
Erica had been passed out there for about an hour, so when they went outside, the sunset was already dark.
Tsupot!
Lois and Erica appear in the air.
“Is it here?”
“Uh, huh? that is… … .”
Erica, who experienced the spatial movement she had only heard about for the first time, shook her dizzy head for a moment.
Then, I looked at the surrounding terrain and opened my eyes.
“Hey, it’s over there!”
Erica’s eyes clearly showed her disbelief in the current situation.
‘oh my god!’
While talking about what he had experienced, he explained the approximate location and distance.
However, I didn’t expect that I would be able to find such an accurate location with just that.
Additionally, he had the incredible ability to travel in an instant a distance that would take a month to travel by carriage.
‘Space movement is… Is it always like this?’
If so, I will start researching objects related to spatial movement from now on.
While Erica was making that promise, Lois slowly descended to the ground.
Erica, who belatedly followed Lois, nodded.
“I’m sure! “It’s here!”
Even though there was nothing around, how could I forget?
The situation that day when his friends were kidnapped and he was the only one who managed to escape.
Since I still vividly remembered the events of that day, it was not difficult to recognize the surrounding terrain.
However, Erica asked with worried eyes.
“now… “What should I do?”
Even if you were trying to track it, there had to be some small clue.
However, from the day he escaped, it rained heavily for three days.
Even if it was in good condition, it became difficult to find it after three days, but the traces had been completely erased due to heavy rain, so it was difficult to find even a clue to pursue it.
Lois showed no particular reaction to Erica’s question filled with concern.
Instead, he lightly raised his hand.
Black and red energy flowed like liquid from Lois’ fingertips.
Knock-knock-.
One drop, two drops.
The black and red liquid that fell to the ground mixed and created strong ripples.
The wave that occurred right away from Lois spread out in all directions.
At the same time, the 200m radius where Lois and Erica were standing suddenly turned dark red.
The ground stained with blood.
match-.
Lois clapped her hands lightly.
Then this time, pure white energy spread out in all directions.
A light applause rang out and the dark red earth trembled, and soon a pure white energy came into contact with it and a change occurred.
Tsutsutsu-.
“uh… … ?”
Erica’s eyes widened as she watched with curiosity what Lois was doing.
A carriage entered the dark red area that dominated the surrounding area.
One thing that is unusual is that the color of the carriage is entirely gray.
And the person pulling the carriage was none other than Douglas.
It was also gray, and soon two people got out of the carriage.
One is Floria, and one is… … .
‘me… yes?’
It was himself.
After getting off the carriage, they seemed to be having a conversation and soon prepared to camp.
Erica stared blankly at what was happening in front of her with her jaw open.
‘This… … .’
How could Erica not know this?
‘It’s that day?!’
What you are seeing now is the situation of that day.
While she was frozen in shock, Lois’ fingers snapped.
Just-.
With the sound of fingers clashing, the scene before my eyes began to flow quickly.
It’s as if the playback speed of the video has been increased.
Eventually, the situation that day reached a point where raiders arrived and a battle broke out.
Erica couldn’t even blink as the day’s battle unfolded before her eyes from a third-person perspective.
From what she witnessed, Erica was able to make a statement.
This is truly a miracle.
While Erica was distracted, Lois looked satisfied.
‘I’m glad. ‘It was close.’
The miracle that Royce performed was none other than bringing back the cherished memories of space.

Spatial properties, temporal properties, mental properties.
A sacred method that only Royce can use, created by mixing three non-natural attributes.
Although it was truly a miraculous ability, it had its drawbacks.
Not only is there an enormous amount of attribute power involved, but there is also a time limit for memories that can be recalled depending on the environment.
As a result of various experiments, the memory that could be recalled under optimal conditions was at most about a week.
Therefore, if meeting Erica had been delayed even a little, finding the kidnapped people might have become very complicated and cumbersome.
While Lois was thinking this, the memory of that day that was playing had already reached the scene of Erica escaping.
Afterwards, the memory retrieval ended with the group of attackers losing Erica and moving on with Douglas and Floria.
Erica shouted excitedly at this.
“It’s over there! “It went that way!”
“know. “I saw it too.”
The direction the attackers moved was northwest.
‘The distance to travel is at most four days.’
Two conditions were sufficient.
The corners of Lois’ mouth curled up.
“I’ll find it for you in 10 minutes.”
As soon as those words were finished, two figures flew across the sky at high speed.
The sunset-filled sky was stained blood red, as if foretelling someone’s future.
* * *
Crumble- Crunch!
A loud, low cry ringing in my ears.
bang-.
Douglas opened his eyes as he heard a series of loud noises.
He raised his upper body and frowned.
“That damn bastard is being damned today too!”
A faint voice was heard from one side, accompanied by a small murmur.
“Are you awake, Douglas?”
When Douglas turned his gaze, Floria, wearing a mana restraint, was there, leaning against the wall with her eyes closed.
He was captured by these guys and had his artificial eyes taken away.
“Even if I want to sleep, I can’t because that loud bastard makes so much noise.”
Douglas’s grumbling appearance was no different from Floria’s.
His prosthetic hand was taken away by the assailants, and he was taken to an unknown basement and filled with a mana restraint.
His already aging body rapidly lost strength when his mana was limited.
Cough-.
Floria asked worriedly at the sound of a rough cough.
“are you okay?”
“It’s okay. It’s worth holding on… … .”
At that moment, the sound was heard again.
thud-.
Wow!
Douglas’ frown crumpled again at the loud ringing sound.
“That damn troll doesn’t even sleep!”
The troll’s cries that I heard from the first day I was captured.
I don’t know why there were trolls in this basement, but the constant screaming and impact sounds that shook the ground were enough to stimulate my already sensitive nerves.
Who would have thought this was their new method of torture?
When Douglas was grumbling like that, Floria’s voice was heard.
“… “How many days has it been?”
Douglas looked thoughtful at that question.
“well. I think it’s been about three or four days… … .”
Since it was underground where the sun did not shine, it was difficult to gauge the passage of time.
I could only guess roughly based on the meals they gave me.
“Erica… “I guess you arrived safely, right?”
“That bird-headed bitch must have arrived safely. “I don’t know about anything else, but wasn’t there one thing you were born with?”
“I’m still worried. “Erica should be safe, too.”
“Seeing as they haven’t been caught yet, they’ll be fine. “Maybe we have already arrived at the tower safely.”
I sent Erica to bring reinforcements, but I wasn’t really expecting much.
The distance between here and Sairon is at least a month.
Even if Erica brought a rescue team, there was no guarantee that they would be here until then.
also.
‘I don’t know if I’ll still be alive by then.’
Douglas smiled self-deprecatingly.
‘I’m not going to die anyway, but… … .’
But Floria was different.
I couldn’t let Floria, who still had a lot of life ahead of her, die in a place like this.
I had to save her somehow.
The problem was how to get Floria, who had lost her eyesight again, out.
“Okay… … .”
When Douglas groaned.
Cheolkeong-.
The iron gate that imprisoned the two shook.
I thought it was time for a meal, but it wasn’t.
The iron door opened and a person came in.
A man with a cold appearance.
He was the leader of the gangsters who had captured them.
Douglas frowned once again when he saw him.
“Is it you again?”
“Did anything special happen last night?”
“Everywhere is blocked, so how can I know if it’s day or night? And that troll bastard is talking so fucking loudly! “Go close that smelly snout and make it quiet!”
“okay.”
He nodded briefly and didn’t seem to be particularly paying attention to Douglas’ words.
Rather, his expression only contained a slight sneer.
He asked with a smile.
“Have you thought about our proposal more than that?”
“joy!”
Douglas snorted.
A suggestion made by a man.
The suggestion he made on the first day he was captured here was to provide information about the first-class transcendental machine.
“It looks like you came from somewhere you heard nonsense. Where in the world is there such a thing as a level 1 transcendental skill?”
“It won’t do any good for you two if you continue to be so uncooperative.”
“What kind of person in the world would cooperate with the guy who kidnapped them?”
A snowball fight broke out between Douglas and the man.
This same situation has been repeated every time for the past three days.
Douglas struggles with someone who is trying to find out information somehow.
Then the situation ended with the man stepping down.
But today was different.
“… “There are conditions.”
A slightly softened voice came from Douglas.
At this, a look crossed the man’s eyes.
“What is?”
“Send Floria away. Then I will do whatever you want, whatever you ask.”
“Douglas!”
Floria screamed in a fit of convulsions at Douglas’s sudden story.
But Douglas ignored her cries and only looked at the man.
“Hmm… … .”
The man with his arms crossed seemed to think for a moment, then shook his head.
“Unfortunately, this is a condition we cannot accommodate.”
“Then I have nothing more to say to you.”
Douglas closed his eyes, as if he really had nothing to say.
The man smiled at this.
“Do you know that?”
“… … .”
“A little while ago, you told me to make the troll shut up for being noisy, right? Do you know why that guy is shouting so loudly?”
“… … .”
“It’s because I’m hungry. “Since we brought them here, we have never fed them.”
The man’s smile began to give off a dreary aura.
“Perhaps if you put food in its mouth, it will become quiet. In particular, I think I heard that monsters prefer elves more than humans.”
“This bastard… … .”
Douglas opened his eyes and glared at the man.
Knowing that he wanted to save Floria, he immediately changed his stance and threatened her with this.
Douglas growled at him, who was smiling bitterly.
“You bastard… … .”
“Think about it carefully. I can’t give you much time. Our troll seems to be hungry these days, so he’s been a bit irritable… … . “Maybe I should put one of the elf’s arms or legs in my mouth.”
They said that if they didn’t make a decision quickly, they would cut off Floria’s arms and legs.
Douglas sighed at the continued threats.
I tried to negotiate with conditions, but I ended up just giving the guy an excuse to threaten me.
“Douglas, I’m fine. “Don’t worry too much!”
Floria shouted in a confident voice.
The man said mockingly.
“Floria may be okay, but Douglas doesn’t seem to be okay. You’re already shaking so much because you’re worried about losing Floria… “It’s really nice to see the friendship between the two of you.”
“Who can shake this guy?” huh?”
Douglas, who was about to shout out in anger at the man’s ridicule, was greatly embarrassed when he realized that his body was shaking.
“Why is this?!”
Hands and arms shaking like aspen trees.
Douglas shouted as if making an excuse.
“Chu, it’s because it’s cold!”
“Haha, yes. All right. I will bring you a special blanket. ha ha ha!”
The man who had ridiculed him so much was just about to escape from prison.
Rattling-.
The dungeon they were in began to shake.
The man was also taken aback by the sudden situation.
‘earthquake?’
If the intensity of the earthquake was strong, there was a risk that the dungeon would collapse.
‘Should we move them?’
As the man thought for a moment, the vibrations became stronger.
And he didn’t know.
An earthquake that was thought to be a natural disaster.
But a disaster even more terrifying than that has arrived over his head.
Duddud-.
Pusss-.
The underground walls shook due to the strong vibrations, and stone dust fell.
and.
Jeok-.
Cracks began to appear on the wall.
“Woah, it’s falling apart!”
Those in the basement thought.
That an earthquake would destroy their shelter.
But the situation turned out to be exactly the opposite of what they thought.
Duddud-.
With a cracked wall.
“uh?”
“What is this!”
The ceiling was rising.
Jeok-.
The basement ceiling was being torn apart by a huge, unknown force.
The high ceiling was removed, and the basement turned into a basin.
Everyone who was hiding underground was dumbfounded as they looked at the dark night sky that appeared out of nowhere.
Meanwhile, a white comet fell from the sky.
Kwaduk-.
Lois fell between Douglas and the man.
He grabbed the man’s neck and lifted it up.
“Sigh!”
The man was startled by the hand grasping the leash and tried to escape, but his thin forearm did not budge as if it were made of rebar.
“Huh!”
The man who was struggling like that came into view with purple, insensitive eyes looking at him.
‘What kind of look in your eyes!’
A gaze as if looking at an insignificant insect.
The moment I met those jewel-like eyes, my heart froze and my mind suddenly turned white.
Soon a cool voice flowed into his ears.
“Don’t worry about the trolls. “I plan to feed you until your stomach is full so you don’t have to think about food for a while.”
“Ugh!”
“Then before I feed you the main dish… … .”
“… “Knock!”
“The order would be to start with the appetizers.”
And as soon as those words are over.
Puzzle-.
The man’s arm, which was held by a leash, fell off.
