This Time, To The Believed Path
Saving Adde

As it exited at the end of the crack path, it was greeted with a dim blue light emanating from the magic stone that could produce light if given water.

The room they came to looked like a warehouse full of many items from expensive to useless.

After noticing the room, Leana took out two cloths to cover their figure.

Leana also picked up some sharp objects that she was able to meet in the room before finally following Adde's steps outside the room and found a large hallway in front of them.

Different from the shadow, the hallway is very empty, seedy and almost minimal light. There are many empty rooms and other hallways that are not known where the ends are.

The strangest thing was how no one was there. It seemed like they were very confident with the safety in that place.

“We get to.”

At the end of the hallway, Adde stopped in a room without doors that to his left and right contained iron bars that stretched to the darkest end of the room. The light only came from the only exit and entered the room.

“This is one of the three rooms that house slaves. This place accommodates those who survive the longest in this organization.

Leana covered her mouth with her right hand while observing the contents of each cell. Inside were five to ten people with their bodies looking thin and dry along with an unpleasant smell that filled the room.

Some of them were lying limp and most of them did not even move or make a sound. A place that is very unfit for humans in just one look makes Leana become fed up.

“Before I will apologize but for now we have to prioritize those who are able to move. Even if now we take out the people in this room right now, the two of us just can't lift them all out.”

“I also want to release them but if any guards are looking and start suspecting any intruders, we could be in danger.” Leana added.

Adde could only nod his head weakly before returning to walk to the next room.

The other two rooms are not far apart but the lack of lighting is quite disturbing them, especially how people who are confined become hysterical when they see the arrival of people.

Adde immediately moved quickly to calm them down.

“Sst, please shrink your voice. We'll get you out.”

Those who were crying for help immediately nodded. It seems Adde understands that the silence in the place can add the smallest volume of sound and is able to bring it to the end of the room.

Leana then gives the knife she carries to Adde.

“We don't have enough time to steal the key so I'll use the fast way.”

‘Watch it well.’ Leana took out another knife and raised it high before finally dropping the tip quickly into the padlock hole of the cell.

The truck!

Unlike their guesses, the padlock that was split into two did not produce a large sound.

“I actually want you to help me, but it seems like you now have no power to do this so now help me to take them on the escape path.”

Leana smiled at Adde and replied with a nod.

During Leana's busy crushing of the grating padlock, Adde takes the freed slaves to the escape route carefully.

Adde makes sure that they can only leave if he or Leana is with them, to avoid meeting anything bad on the way.

When Adde returned, the two proceeded to the second room to rescue those held there.

Carefully Leana opens one by one the lock locks from the cell bars to make less noise and Adde also struggles to get those detained out safely.

‘It looks like placing lord Iscan at the exit is the correct choice.’ Think Leana.

If Hardie followed the instructions she was given, she should be able to safely bring reinforcements to their place.

‘At least to evacuate victims of slavery..’.

In the piece of paper given by him there is a clue as to the symbol he leaves at every turn he passes. Not only that Leana also gave a little hint that she hoped Hardie could understand.

‘I hope everything goes smoothly..’.

Leana glanced at the five cells that were still locked. The five cells are in a dark area of the room so full concentration is needed to find out the position of the lock key correctly.

He could not carelessly make the slightest light because basically the dark side of the room was favorable enough to hide a person's figure.

He can also use it if the guards come to check.

‘Come we proceed to the next cell—’

“Who's there.”

Hearing a heavy sound from the direction of the light, Leana turned her gaze rapidly towards the exit.

There stood a man in a robe whose face was covered by his own shadow by the light behind him.

‘How can you?! Am I off guard? No, not that..’.

Was there a sound of someone walking?

Leana immediately stood up and stood by with the knife in her hand. Just in case he lowered his head so that his face was more and more immersed behind the cloth that covered his head.

His sudden action caught the attention of the people behind the cell beside him and they panicked.

‘Sst, calm down..’ Leana tried to calm them down and looked back at the cloaked man before her.

There are two possibilities that come to her mind about how the man before her can arrive unnoticed by Leana who has high sensitivity because of her past as a shadow.

In a place where the slightest sound can echo far enough, the first possibility is that the man uses a magic tool that can remove the sound.

This is possible given that this slavery organization is the last to survive the hunt in the future.

Then the second and worst possibility is that this man in front of him is a member of the shadow or a very reliable hitman.

Although the shadows and the hitmen had different tasks, they almost had the same science and techniques. One of the most important is the technique of elimination of self-existence.

In the technique is still divided into many techniques and now what happens now is the technique of sound removal, silent step.

When entering the headquarters of this organization, Leana also uses the same technique to minimize sound.

Because the whole technique can only be used by the user himself, he was quite relieved because Adde who from the beginning did not wear footwear only produced a small sound.

‘Now what should I do..’.

The man before him did not move from the beginning he opened his voice and Leana did not know whether he should move or not remember the sound he could make.

Whether he or the man in front of him, who should start the mistake first in this serene condition.

Still looking at each other without lowering the defense Leana was eager to try to speak up but suddenly the robed man in front of her moved a little before finally slowly showing his two eyes burning yellowish green behind the darkness.

Leana jerks.

‘Si this damn—!’

CLANGS!

Leana quickly threw the knife in her hand at the robed man and immediately turned her eyes away. From the resulting sound, it seemed like the cloaked man had managed to fend off the knife he threw.

‘Sial, I was framed!’

Those yellow green-lit eyes were a graying technique, eye of confusion. Although only activated within five seconds, the victim who looks directly at the eye will experience very severe hallucinations with the figure can not be known.

‘Ha, almost justaa..’.

Leana panicked and stroked her chest inwardly. He unconsciously held his breath for a while. He was grateful that his body remembered what he learned while being a shadow despite decades of not practicing.

Leana looked back at the cloaked man and realized that now she could see his expression behind the darkness. The robed man smiled at him.

“oohh... it's weird... and interesting..”.

Hearing her words, Leana shuddered in horror in another sense.

‘If ‘aneh’ I understand but ‘pulling’?? Is he a pervert??’

Leana felt like she wanted to immediately leave the place but there were still people who were held behind cell bars and it seemed to shackle her legs.

“You know…? I thought it was strange... I saw a weak woman.

like this..”

The robed man spoke very slowly as if he was drunk but Leana did not let down her guard.

At the same time Leana realizes that the clothes she is wearing now make it difficult for her to hide her entire identity.

“But... when I see your interesting vain posture.. then you fall silent.. I think it is better that I help you.... to move..”.

Leana corrected her words. The man in front of him is a psychopath.

“Eeehh... when you move.. I was quite surprised... with the knife you threw... the power of the throw.... is very unusual.”.

‘Think of Leana Grandall!’ He cried out in his mind.

Leana insists on turning her brain to solve her current problems. He wanted to escape from the cloaked man but he also could not leave the people detained.

What is the best solution to solve this problem?

Leana can only hope that the situation does not get worse than it is now.

“Ah... see who is here..”.

The robed man turned his head to his side like he was staring at someone who had come. Leana froze up.

‘Do-don't.. Adde!’
