Chapter 112 Leaving the empire 2 (2/2)
”now where have I seen you before... right I haven't seen you before I have worn one of you before”
it was a dragon sealing collar like the one he had worn when he reincarnated
”who... are... you?”
a horse voice spoke out, after a second Mars realized it was the figure that had spoken
”me I'm just a passing Living god”
”Living... god..?”
”yep, now let's get you out of here, but first...”
Mars reached out and grabbed the dragon sealing collar and activated his [Energy: drain hand] and drained all the energy out of the collar and with a 'click' did it open before it fell to the ground
”eh..?”
the figure seemed surprised and slightly moved Mars looked and saw a scaled tail rise from the floor it looked rather withered like it had been drained of blood for a period of time
”I... can... move... my... tail?”
”looks like it”
”is... this... a... dream..?”
”nah I don't think so?”
Mars reached down and grabbed the hood that covered the figures face and pulled it down and revealed 2 small horns
”so that's why you smell nostalgic”
2 small horns in the forehead, red vertical slit eyes with scale like skin around them and long red unkempt flowing hair
”it' because we're the same”
the figure, no she looked up at Mars and looked into his eyes
”the... same..?”
Mars gave a nod
”we're both half-dragons, now let's get out of here”
she looked up at Mars but now her eyes shone with hope
”can you move?”
”I... don't... think...so”
Mars gave a nod
”excuse me then”
Mars reached down and picked her up and carried her with both his arms and walked out of the prison cell and begun walking down the hall when he felt a pair of eyes on him and looked down
”what is it?”
she averted her gaze before she spoke
”it's... nothing...”
”let's go get you some water first”
Mars walked past the passed out guards and begun walking up the stairs and walked up into the main hallway were Anna was standing and waiting, when she saw Mars her eye widened before she reached into her skirt and pulled out a dagger
”do you really have to?”
”...you leave me no choice dear guest”
”fine...[SLEEP]”
Mars walked past Anna that fell over, passed out and made his way towards the mess hall making some other maids sleep on the way there, as he stepped into the mess hall all eyes gathered on him, clearly someone had alerted the guards a guard with a slightly different uniform called out to Mars as he drew his sword
”put down the prisoner and surrender!”
”not likely”
”fine then... kill them!”
the guards quickly surrounded Mars and faced him with spears raised Mars gave a sigh and activated his[Living god: presence] on full power making the guards freeze up as divine pressure descended upon them some of the weaker guards even kneeled down, meanwhile the female half-dragon kept her eyes on Mars, she was unaffected by the pressure as Mars made sure not to target her
”now then... [GO TO SLEEP]”
as Mars shouted out the guards simply fell over like dolls with their stings cut, Mars gave a nod clearly pleased with his new skill and walked over to a nearby bench and carefully put down the female half-dragon that still was watching him with clear eyes
”Victoria watch over her I'll be right back with some food and water”
”okay...”
Mars walked into the kitchen and... persuaded some of the chefs that had been watching the 'fight' with the guards to give him some food and a mug of water before he walked back into the mess hall and sat down at the table before he pushed the tray over to the female half-dragon
”oh that's right I never asked your name?”
”my...name...”
she seemed confused as her eyes clouded for a moment before her eyes lit up
”my... is... Varvei...”
”Varvei... I see, my name is Mars”
”Mars...”
Varvei looked down and mumbled to herself before she dug into her food and drank some water greatly helping with her voice, from what Mars could see Varvei was rather malnourished
”how long have you been imprisoned?”
”I.. don't.. know..”
”right sorry”
Mars gave a sigh and began to think about how he was going to leave the empire along with a wanted criminal
