Truen returned late even though the matches at the Dirt Ring was concluded several hours ago. The talk with Desert Lily went well and Truen had more than enough bloodstones after the three arranged matches to pay for lodging, accommodations and a little more. "Any information about what the third opponent wants?" he asked. The assassin leader shook her head. "He said that he needed your brother’s help but that’s about it. Even if he lost the match, I don’t think he will be giving up on trying…-

The world was dark when she woke up but Jermine preferred it pitch black instead of bright outside. Her captors would only leave her alone when night came. In the day, she was often beaten and ridiculed in her cage. Yet for some reason, something felt off about her situation. That’s right! Memories came flashing back all too quickly. The pain and buzzing surrounding her cage, the yelling, a heavy stench of blood and some tea with broth that made her fall asleep. Once everything clicked, Jermine bolted…

All the creatures on Hyacinth knew her name. In fact, her parents were the rulers of the water planet - Hyacinth. Poseidon was an overprotective father and Medusa a very loving mother. Their daughter Minerva was growing up to be more and more beautiful with each passing day. Yet, there was one thing they could stop Minerva from doing. "No! I hate it!" the girl shrieked. This wasn’t the first time it happened but it was still disheartening for the gorgon to hear. "Why? It’s lovely. Carlson spent a…

While Zero borrowed Brutus’ kitchen to brew the antidote, Brutus prepared water for the bath that Dwayne wanted and passed his boss the set of clothes Zero wanted him to buy for the slave. While Zero worked on the antidote, Brutus was given a new task to help Zero extract the venom and dismantle the killer bee corpses. "All of these?" the ex-mercenary couldn’t help but be stunned at the corpses that Zero kept pulling out from his spatial bag. The sling bag from Enma didn’t look too impressive but…

Zero got to work immediately and removed the rags from the girl’s body, cleaning her with the towel after adding some disinfecting herbs into the water. Dwayne didn’t flinch as bloodied fur was revealed. Zero took a pair of scissors and started to trim the fur that was hiding the bad wounds. Dwayne helped to change the first basin of water and Zero worked swiftly. By the time Dwayne returned with a clean basin of water, Zero was already done with trimming all her fur. The wounds were giving off a…

Zero added some sleeping medicine into the tea. It was a very strong dosage that he concocted himself and gave it to the girl who was coincidentally starving so he gave her some broth to go with it. As it wasn’t good to eat or drink too much before surgery, Zero apologised that he couldn’t give her more. Instead of being upset or disappointed, the blind mole girl shook her head and shed tears of gratitude at the kindness he was showing her. When Zero saw how humbled she was from this little act of…

After Brutus left to find out the prices of the corpses that Zero handed over, Zero thanked Dwayne and Brutus. The innkeeper lent Brutus his spatial storage ring to keep all two hundred and fifty killer bee corpses while offering to bring a basin of water for the mole beast girl to wash up. Zero led the blind mole beast girl upstairs carefully and Dwayne watched as the young elf treated her with more care than anyone else ever had. The innkeeper started to think that there was perhaps more than met the…

Truen came back with the girl smelling like blood and Bob flinched. He eyed the slave on Truen’s back and wondered how the elf caught up so quickly. The stench of murder didn’t escape Zero. He thought he would feel more uncomfortable at the thought but found himself secretly feeling happy that those adventurers were gone for good. The feeling horrified him slightly but he tried to ignore it. It must be Venn’s memories messing with him. Ever since Zero recovered some memory fragments, he felt like his…

Truen didn’t back down. The adventurers didn’t back down either. Zero eyed the slave with worry. Given their attitude, he didn’t think they would be willing to give them the slave even if they were willing to buy. These humans didn’t like elves and they currently were elves. Even if they weren’t high elves, they were still elves. "Move," Truen said when the warrior didn’t relent. Zero inched closer to where the slave was and hoped that nobody noticed but luck wasn’t on his side. Almost…

Indeed, Truen was right about Zero. The doctor wasn’t happy at all. He looked like he wanted to fire the commander bee and take over his job forcefully. If Zero was given more time to learn how to command bees, Truen had no doubt that Zero would do just that. The adventurers were winning the battle against the bees and Zero took this distraction to get closer to the camp. The adventures might be faring well against the monsters but Zero was angry they didn’t consider the wellbeing of the slave they…
