The Birth of a True Hero
Episode 42 The traitor Duke

When Rui finished treating Karin and Ririna. Rui opened a secret room. It turned out that there were elves and warbeasts that were kidnapped even with far more numbers than those in the slave market before.

When Rui opened one of the confinements, it was seen from the look on their faces that were very frightened. Rui who saw that was so concerned to see the condition of the elves and warbeasts who were already very shabby and weak.

"Calm down, please don't be afraid. I didn't come here to hurt you" Rui said, breaking a chain that locked the iron cage door that locked them away.

But even though Rui had said so, they were still frightened and did not want to go out. Then Ririna approached Rui.

"It's like Rui they're so scared of men, let me take care of them" Ririna said.

"Come sweet boy, I won't hurt you" Ririna said with a suspicious smile.

Then Karin patted Ririna on the head to stop that strange smile.

"Stop stupid, you look suspicious and even make them more alert" Karin said as she pulled Ririna's arm away.

Risiya just smiled with the manner of Karin and Ririna. Then Karin reached out to the Elves and warbeasts who were kidnapped and finally they dared to hold Karin's hand and finally ventured out.

"If you may know what your name is" asked Karin.

"Na_namaku Switzi" she answered in fear.

"Well Switzi is this your only friend who was kidnapped" asked Karin to one of the elves.

With a still frightened look on his face, the elf ventured to answer Karin's question.

"Du_then, many elves and warbeasts were men, but most of them were brought to the slave market and women were raped and many were brought by men in fine clothes" said the elf girl.

Then a woman from the warbeast race arrived - suddenly speaking.

"Ak_aku" he said which made Rui and the girls' attention on him.

"What's up, say it" Karin said with a gentle smile.

"Me and my friends were the first people to be brought here. Many of the children who were killed while trying to escape and who tried to resist would be tortured to death in front of us as an example" the girl said with a frightened face and cried remembering her friends were murdered.

"Thank you for answering my question" Karin said.

Then Rui looked for the daughter of the elf king who was kidnapped among the crowd of victims, and it was seen by Ririna that made her curious.

"What is Rui, you seem to be looking for someone" asked Ririna.

Rui turned towards Ririna.

"I'm looking for the princess of the elf king is she here?" ask Rui.

Karin asked the crowd again.

"Do you know any princesses of the elf race" asked Karin.

"Of course we know, he is famous among the elves" said one of the elves whose skin was a bit of ash.

"Then if he is among you" asked Karin while looking around her.

"No, he's been taken by a fat man with some other girls" said the dark elf.

Hearing that, Rui became curious as to who the child meant. Then Rui makes a plan to continue looking for the boy before he does why.

"What's Rui" asked karin curiously.

"I will search for the lost children myself and it looks like they were taken by the nobles who were allied with the demon, he said, so can brother and others just take the victims to the palace and leave the rest to me" Rui told her brother.

Hearing that, Karin slightly objected because she wanted to help her sister. But considering that his sister was already very strong and thought that he would only burden her if he came, he finally allowed his sister's request.

"Alright Rui, it looks like you'll be faster if you go alone and you're really the sister I can count on. Go and bring good news for your brother" said Karin.

"Of course, thank you brother" said Rui happily.

After Rui escorted her brother and friends into the carriage she called and told 3 people from the Shadow Unit to escort them. Two others went on a search with him.

"Get scatter and look for nobles who look like fat pigs and report to me" Rui ordered with a serious look.

"Understanding" they said simultaneously and disappeared quickly.

Then Rui continued her search around the city. He entered the bar and several houses where the slave auction was but he did not find a single person.

"It looks like the shadow unit is doing its job well" muttered Rui happily.

Then at nightfall, Rui gets a report from the shadow unit through her bracelet.

"Master, I found a noble with the traits you mentioned, and it looks like he's playing with some human women and elves in his bed"

"Good, mention the location" said Rui happy with the news.

"Sorry sir, but this house is the residence of the Duke and the nobility by which Duke Helios stun master" said the shadow soldier hesitated.

"Why do you doubt, I don't care if they're dukes or Emperors, even people who do such heinous deeds will be destroyed without hesitation" Rui said resentfully.

"I'm sorry for my impoliteness, sir, then I'll find the location of the victim" he said.

"Well" said Rui.

Then Rui used her mana to keep moving in the air by continuing to move her mana and in an instant she had arrived in front of the magnificent house that was said to belong to the Duke.

"Master, we've managed to knock out the guards of the underground sell and will take out the casualties immediately"

Hearing that right Rui became relieved and told them to speed up his pace.

Then Rui threw her dagger at Duke Helios' bedroom and moved there very quickly.

The flying dagger could pierce through the window glass without damaging it and without Helios realizing Rui was already standing behind him.

Helios was still busy torturing the elves while screwing him he whipped and beat his victims in the face and laughed at their screams.

Rui who witnessed this was so angry and made the seal in her hand shine signifies the weapons of the heroes responding to Rui's anger.

Feeling something strange behind him Helios tried to turn his head but before he could do that Rui with all his strength kicked him to bounce very far through the room until it was thrown into the courtyard of the House. Seeing the human women and elves lying naked and still enduring pain, Rui enveloped them and healed their wounds.

Then when he looked behind him was seen a very beautiful elf woman was unconscious with her hands tied and hanging on a rope and with a standing position.

"I finally found it" muttered Rui Gladly.

But the shout of anger with the overflowing radiance of power he felt came from the direction of Duke Helios who was bouncing. Then with a smile, Rui was grateful that the duke did not die immediately because Rui was really trembling to beat Helios.
