Chapter 63 - Volume 6 Chapter 1 – Captive (2/2)

“Wait. I’ll go look”

Fran stood up and leaned forward the window.

Then, she immediately withdrew, panicking on what she had seen.

“This is terrible! It’s an army of Demons!”

Se who does not usually show much emotion is now in a state of panic.

I quickly confirmed it from the window.

A large number of Demons are marching in rows.

It’s not a hundred or two. Right now, there is large army of more than a thousand strong.

“No way……this means they are going to war”

I braced myself on the next words of Fran.

She’s right. There is no way for the Demons to amass this large number of troops, unless they are prepared for war.

“But it’s not possible to go out right now, in this situation……”

We elves will surely attract attention in the middle of the city of Demons.

According to Glinnis, there are no Demons monitoring this place, but there will be no guarantee once we go outside.

And getting out in the city where the army is now advancing is like telling us to get caught.

“I can only pray for Allan-sama’s safety”

While I was tormented by my helplessness, I looked towards the Demon Lord’s Castle.

Allan-sama should be there.

Please……please be safe……

Allan’s POV

————————–

Still with the magic chains attached, I was brought to a dark dungeon.

And then I was placed in a cell.

“Ow ow ow……this chain really doesn’t know how to take it easy!”

I let out a curse, but of course, the chains didn’t even budge.

But a surprising thing happened. The chain released me by itself, , then it wrapped around the entrance of the jail, locking the door in place.

It’s ability to capture, drag and lock people inside all by itself is truly a marvelous thing.

“Haa……it’s not the time to think about this……”

I sighed and laid myself to the floor.

I’ve been thinking of running away from this place, I still feel my stamina lacking.

Fortunately, I didn’t have a big injury, and soon I’ll be fully recovered in a short time.

Because I have high physical abilities, my wounds heal quick.

“however, I still have my weapons taken away. What should I do……”?

Not to mention my sword, but my dagger at my bosom has also been taken.

It’s just a chain, but it’s really clever.

Or is it because the Demon Lord is way better in handling her magic?

As I thought about it more and more, the more likely I think I won’t beat Beatrice.

There is only fear as I recall her figure trying to kill me with flames I her hands.

I have to rest for a while, just to ease my mind.

Apparently, my physical strength is gradually being restored.

“Nice, let’s start a little digging”

I got myself up, and examined the cell in various ways.

However, it’s too narrow so there are only a few places to check.

“There are no windows because it’s the underground, and the walls are so thick”

I tried hitting the wall with my fists, but I understood that it was really quite thick based on my sensation.

Well one thing’s for sure. These Demons are sure proud of their power.

“But now, I really have no way out. Sigh……”

I’m being surrounded by walls at all sides, but it also grew my impatience more as time went by.

If I fold my hands here, then the Demon Lord’s invasion will surely begin.

Before that I need to get out of here and make her give up the invasion.

“Hey, open up!”

I tried to kick the door which was the thinnest part of the cell with all my strength.

However, it it’s not even dented at all.

I can’t break the lock because the chain is wrapped around it……I’m so weak”

I gave up my forceful breakthrough and sat down on the floor again.

Time passed without me doing anything

Then, my patience has already reached its peak.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps from the other side of the door.

I jumped up, and listened to the situation.

It doesn’t matter who the opponent is. This is the only chance for me to flip my card around.

I made up my mind to do whatever it takes to go outside
