480 The Systems History: The resurrection of the dead (1/2)

Although Aki wanted to refuse, he chose not to speak as his instinct tells him no one could stop her. Not just that, but also, he sensed the strong aura of death circulating around her figure. Hence, he just agreed with the nod of his head.

”Also, you,” Slowly, Tora strode towards the entrance of their wooden cell as she muttered. ”Let go of all your hostages and bring them all with you. At the east side of this forest, there was a hill— camp there.” With that said note, the rope that was used to lock down their hostages was cut, instantly flowed down to the ground, and the entrance waved as it slightly opened.

”Ye — yes!” Stuttering, Chiharu could only listen to the command of Tora. His shaking eyes shifted behind her figure and saw Aki lifting up the little girl's body. ”But, if we go outside we will be expo—”

”Heed my orders, animal.” Tora emotionlessly interrupted as she headed out of the cage without waiting for them.

Chiharu, though was insulted by her address, could only bow his head in shame. Meanwhile, Aki watched her retreating figure before shifting his gaze to the two of his subordinates. The two only nodded.

They were capable to protect themselves, and also the victims on their escape plan. Hence, they weren't worried that they would get exposed. However, what worried Aki was Tora. Nevertheless, he understood her concern about Churu's body. The reason why he must secure the victims first before giving her his aid.

After a minute, when the two of Aki's subordinates were free from their shackles, they decided to head out and rescue the other hostages. With their guards all up, they cautiously went out. However, their tracks halted upon seeing the sight outside.

There, numerous bodies had already scattered, lying in their own pool of blood. Meaning, their way was already secured as Tora extinguished the danger of their route. Therefore, Aki's group went to the other cage not far away without a problem.

”This…” As they reached the cage, Chiharu talked the women down as he instructed them that they came to rescue them. He vaguely explained the situation, but what he ascertained was that they could escape their damnable fate of being sold off.

On the other hand, Aki could not care less about comforting the women as his gaze peered at the dead bodies nearby. He noticed that every one of them died with a single slash on their bodies — in their weakest point.

It was too similar how the general fight as she was known to kill an enemy in a single slash of her sword. Although it was hearsay, only those who were close to the general and fought alongside her knew if it was true or not.

'Yamada-san… is that your real name?' He questioned inwardly as the female hostages were being guided out.
