Blood Assimilation

In the beginning, the young girl was looking with a relieved expression at the young man that came to save her by killing the blonde man. 

Although the young man was ruthless enough to kill the other party without hesitation, she still viewed him as a savior who came to her aid when she was in danger. 

But the next moment, when she saw how the young man started draining the blood out of the blonde man who tried to assault her, she was speechless. 

And not only that, but the young man also somehow manipulated the blood of the blonde man and turned it into a solid ball and was about to toss it into his mouth before suddenly stopping himself. 

As she saw all these with her very eyes, she instantly displayed a fearful expression as she felt like her world was about to end. 

At this moment, she realized that she escaped one misfortune only to end up in another, and right now, she wanted to run away as quickly as possible, but she could not do so because she had been restrained by the people who captured her before, so she could afford to escape her predicament. 

To make matters worse, the young man was now approaching her, but she did not have the courage to try to fight against this young man even if she wanted to, considering how easily he took care of that blonde man just now.

Without any means to protect herself against the approaching young man, she winced and closed her eyes in anticipation of what would happen to her.

At this point, Randy had reached the young girl unaware of what she was thinking of, and quickly cut off the robe with the dagger that was still encased in magical energy. 

A moment later, all the robes tying the young girl's hands behind were undone and she was now free from her restraints.

'Eh?' She was surprised when she noticed that her restraints were gone, the ropes restraining her hands were undone somehow. 

Curious, she slowly opened her eyes, only to see the young man squatting in front of her with a smile on his face, and then he opened his mouth about to say something to her. But in her point of view, it looked like the young man was about to do something to her and she yelled out something in her strange language, taking Randy by surprise.

Before he could react, the young girl frantically stood up and quickly run away toward a certain direction in the forest without looking back as if she was running from a monster. 

'What the hell was that reaction for? I can't even understand her. This is so troublesome.' Randy silently thought in confusion.

But then he quickly realized that the young girl was his means to get out of this forest, so he cannot simply let her leave just like that. 

"Hey! Where are you going?!" He questionably yelled out from behind her. 

"Ahhhhh!!" 

In response to this, the young girl screamed loudly in a terrified voice in the distance and quickly picked up the pace, seemingly running for her life.

Randy was astonished by her reactions and then muttered: "What's wrong with her? Now that I think about it since I don't even understand her words, we cannot even communicate properly." 

Realizing this, Randy pondered for a moment and then wondered: "Is she misunderstanding something?"

"Well, it does not matter for now since we cannot communicate anyway. But I will just follow her and see where she is headed with all her might. If I let her guide the way, maybe I might be able to use her to get out of this forest." 

Randy did not swallow the blood in his grasp and instead, quickly ran after the escaping young girl right after packing up some things into his storage bracelet. 

However, he made sure not to catch up to her. After all, she seemed to be scared of him for some reason, and since he wanted to use her to get out of the forest, he only needed the follow closely on the trail she blazed. 

…

Inside A Certain Castle. 

Sitting on a throne was a beautiful woman with alluring features who adorned colorful red clothes, and in front of her was an orb about the size of a soccer ball that was placed inside a socket in the table. 

The orb seemed to be displaying something to the beautiful woman who operated it from her throne. What was being displayed was the scene inside the forest that Randy currently found himself after arriving in this world. 

What was more important was that the scene that was currently being displayed was the scene of Randy chasing after the young girl right after killing the blonde man to save the escaping young girl from being assaulted.

The beautiful woman's eyes flashed with interest, especially when she recalled the young man using some sort of blood manipulation ability. 

'Interesting… He appears to be a human, but he has a blood manipulation spell, or is it some sort of innate ability? I don't recall humans possessing any innate abilities though. Then it might be some unheard of spell devised by the humans in their attempt to control blood.' The beautiful woman thought in conclusion to herself but quickly lost interest in the topic.

Originally, she was going to intervene and save the young girl before she was assaulted by that man because she did not like such vulgar things happening right in front of her.

But she did not want to act carelessly and reveal her location to those in search of her hideout in doing so.

With that thought in mind, she wanted to act at the right moment when the man was about to indulge in himself to save the girl from him by swiftly killing him.

But she never expected this young man to come out of nowhere to save the young girl before she could act.

However, she noticed that there was something strange about that young man, and his sudden appearance in the forest. 

Earlier, she noticed some sort of spatial fluctuations in the sky not far from her location, and then the young man suddenly manifested in the sky right after. 

Initially, she did not care as it seemed like he was not here for her. But now that she thought about it, it was very strange for someone to appear in the forest using a spatial manipulation spell. 

Not to mention, this young man seemed to have some strange ability to change his appearance as she had observed. 

Before, she noticed the same situation over and over again in the forest and each time, she saw strange humans wearing strange clothes but most of them were killed by her minions without her permission since they were technically intruders in their territory.

Regardless, she did not care enough to pry the identity of that young man as his existence did not concern her at the moment.. However, she still continued to observe the situation from her end.
