Will of chaos

Chapter 308 – Cap 307: Pirates

I held a meeting to understand a little more about the Kingdom we are heading to, but I ended up hearing more information than I needed to. 

  After a meeting that lasted about two hours we discussed about the people going to the city, that's why I noticed that many people here can't show up in the city. 

  With those things settled, we were about to end the meeting when a Ghoul with a fishing pole in hand rushes in while Alice runs after him. 

  "Village leader…Village leader…" (Ghoul) 

  "I told you to wait!"  (Alice) 

  "…" (I) 

  I wave a hand at Alice to calm down, then she stops running as the Ghoul comes running to me, I stand up as he places a hand on his knees wearily, he takes a few deep breaths to catch his breath before he starts talking. 

  "Village leader we have problems, we are under attack."  (ghoul) 

  "Calm down, tell me what happened."  (I) 

  "I and some others were fishing on the boat, then the boat rocks as if something hit the boat, when we look we see three boats attacking us from afar, they are coming towards us."  (ghoul) 

  "An Ogre stayed up there to try to get away from the three boats, but they're approaching too fast."  (ghoul) 

  "I ran inside and came here as soon as I got to the 4th floor."  (ghoul) 

  "You did well to come here and let us know, leave the rest to us."  (I) 

  After I say that I nod to Alice who follows the Ogre to the door, then I go back to look at everyone who attended the meeting. 

  "Sophia, Jade, Jay, Irina, Diana, Érica and Freya."  (I) 

  "You will take care of these boats, if I'm not mistaken they are bandits, probably pirates."  (I) 

  "Want to capture them for a reward when we reach the port?"  (Diana) 

  "No, but I will want some people alive, you have to capture the three strongest enemies and the three with the most expensive clothes."  (I) 

  "They can kill everyone else."  (I) 

  "Make them unconscious, I want to interrogate them later."  (I) 

  "Layla, I want you to go along, I'll watch everything that happens through your eyes, plus I want you to collect everything you find of value."  (I) 

  "If you already understand then grab your weapons and go, we don't have much time."  (I) 

  Everyone left as I asked since the enemy won't be waiting and everyone already had their weapons in their storage items, Layla opens a Space portal that leads to the safe room, then they go to the first floor and exit the Dungeon. 

  I was seeing it all from Layla's eyes, they wait a few more minutes as the three enemy boats approach, magic attacks hit the boat twice more before the enemies are close enough. 

  I kept seeing through Layla's eyes so I could help if the enemy was too strong, but to my surprise, it was the opposite, they were all too weak, Jade jumped on the deck of an enemy boat and released five drops of green liquid from her fingers killing five enemies that run towards her when the poison drops hit the enemies forehead pierces their heads causing them to drop dead. 

  The last two enemies are captured by Jade's tail, then an arrow passes through Jade hitting a Mage's shoulder who starts screaming in pain. 

  The other two boats were captured with the same ease by the others, it was a victory that took only a few seconds, I imagined that the enemies would not be very strong, but I did not imagine that they would be that weak. 

  I stopped sharing Layla's vision and left the mansion, so I used my Dragon Wings to fly to the safe room to go to the 1st floor and out of the Dungeon. 

  It only took me about five minutes to get to the deck where I see six people tied up, further back I see a cage where two White Elves were scared looking at the Jade Lamia form and a Beastman child was unconscious. 

  Jade approaches and returns to her human form, Tania made a dress with the skirt cut on the side, so when Jade transforms she doesn't run the risk of destroying her steal. 

  When Jade is in front of me she kneels down, she's the only one who still does these things to me, everyone else knows I don't like to see my friends kneeling to me. 

  "The enemies were killed and six were captured as you asked, master."  (Jade) 

  "Thanks, but please stop kneeling, how many times do I need to say it to be more relaxed around me."  (I) 

  "As your servant, I must show at least that level of respect, so don't mind it."  (Jade) 

  "That's her way, master."  (Freya) 

  Sigh 

  "You must be right."  (I) 

  "Who are those in the cage?"  (I) 

  "I found them inside one of the boats."  (Layla) 

  "Elsaris, separate the six prisoners, Beatriz and Jay will handle the interrogation with their mother."  (I) 

  "Alright, I already know what you want to do."  (Elsaris) 

  After Elsaris became my daughter I learned that she transformed her two sons to her new lineage, thanks to that they don't get weaker while they are in the sunlight. 

  As I watch the six of them being taken into the boat I imagine they are going to be dragged to the Dungeon, so I go to the cage. 

  I look at the state the Elves are in, one of them has a big scar on his face, a cut that goes from the top of the right side to the bottom of the left side, he also has an appearance with well-built muscles with a few scars on his body, when I approached he had a look of caution and fear as he looked at me. 

  I looked at the other Elf and he had a thin and delicate body, he didn't have any scars on his body, his face was young and looked a little feminine giving it a more androgynous appearance, his eyes were empty, his body had some bruise marks, I had a bad feeling since the two Elves were naked. 

  I looked at the child who was unconscious, he was the only one who still had his clothes on, he was a boy who had dog ears and a tail. 

  "Who are you?"  (I) 

  "…" (Elf with scar) 

  "If you don't want to talk, I don't mind, but know that I will treat you the same as those six."  (I) 

  "°•▪︎°•¤°" (Scar Elf) 

  "…" (I) 

  I don't understand what the Elf was talking about, I wanted to know their story to think about what to do next, the marks on the androgynous Elf's body are rope marks on his hands and feet, he also has strangulation marks on his neck, I hope what I'm thinking is wrong, otherwise I'm going to make those six bastards suffer so much they'll beg for death. 

  "Master, he is speaking the Elvish language, if you want I can talk to him."  (Sophia) 

  "Ask them their names, where they come from, why they are with these people, who these people are and what happened to them."  (I) 

  "I think everyone can imagine what happened to them."  (Érica) 

  "These three boats don't have any marks or symbols, so they must be pirates, they spend almost the whole year living on the boat as every time they return to the land they risk being arrested or killed."  (Diana) 

  "Even so, we need to confirm everything, I don't like to work with assumptions."  (I) 

  Sophia walks to the cage and spends about ten minutes talking to the scarred man, in some moments of the conversation I could see an evil glint in the androgynous Elf's eyes next to him, but even so, he remained silent while the scarred man spoke in tone aggressive with apparent anger. 

  Sophia listened to everything and had a serious face, but spoke only a few times before speaking to me again. 

  "They were the escort of a merchant who was attacked two weeks ago, the Elf with the scar's name is Julius, he is a Swordsman."  (Sophia) 

  "The other Elf is a friend of his, he is a Water Element Mage, his name is Silvio."  (Sophia) 

  "When the boat they were on was attacked there were people inside the crew, so they were poisoned and didn't even have a chance to fight."  (Sophia) 

  "When their clothes and belongings were taken away, Julius was left in prison the entire time and only received a few scraps of food during that time."  (Sophia) 

  "Other than what I've already said, Julius didn't suffer anything else, but Silvio maybe because of the more delicate appearance he was targeted by the all-men crew, the master can imagine what happened."  (Sophia) 

  "Elves both male and female are very handsome, so that was to be expected, that's why Elves are always kidnapped targets, these two were possibly being taken to be sold as illegal slaves."  (Sophia) 

  "…" (I) 

  "And the child?"  (I) 

  "He was captured yesterday, looks like he had a man who looked like him, but he was killed while being beaten up by the crew for fun and the body was thrown into the sea."  (Sophia) 

  "…" (I) 

  "Calm down master, you know things like that always happen, that's the kind of thing thugs do, a lot of monsters do things like that too, you must still remember how you found me and Érica."  (Diana) 

  "Master, if you don't control your Aura you will end up killing the three inside the cage, please regain control."  (Jade) 

  "…" (I) 

  I know horrible things happen all the time in some parts of the world, but hearing about it while seeing the victims in front of me makes my blood boil. 

  I look at the others and notice that Érica is silent, but her eyes have a terrifying gleam, she seems to be normal, but I can tell she is anything but normal, it seems that Diana also noticed and put her hand on her shoulder. 

  "You will have the opportunity to deal with them Érica, just wait, I have a punishment that is perfect for them before I die."  (I) 

  "I'm very happy to hear that master, I hope it doesn't make me wait too long, I'm a little impatient now."  (Érica) 

  "Wait until Elsaris is done with those six, in the meantime I want Diana to keep an eye on Érica."  (I) 

  "I'm already doing that, but the way she is, I can't promise anything."  (Diana)
