The Rise Of A Porter Chapter 336

"Alice take the kid out. I'll have to get rid of the dungeon boss before leaving or else it'll end up causing an outbreak." Arnold repeated the same thing in Mandarin so that Bai Tao could understand what Arnold wanted him to do before turning around to enter the boss room.
"Wait... what about the subjugators... outside?" Bai Tao tried to force himself back on his feet but couldn't. There were still traces of the drug in his body. Furthermore, the excessive blood loss had made him even weaker than before.
"How do you think I got in here, Einstein? Now get going. Your mother must be worried about you."
"Big bro, you must not! No one can solo that boss monster..." Bai Tao tried one last time to change Arnold's mind but he just shook his head and opened the boss room's door once again.
'Why can't these people just mind their own business?' Arnold waved his hand and told Alice to get out before he entered the room.
"Sister, you must stop him... if the sword god got to know about this, no one would survive his rage!"
"Just keep walking. If you don't you won't survive my master's rage." Alice mumbled as she dragged the man out of the dungeon by force. Arnold had given her his communicator so she could understand whatever the man was blurting out.
She might have been a Healer by profession, but the dungeon trip to Jotunheim had drastically changed her stats. Thanks to the numerous warrior giants she slew inside that dungeon, she now had more strength than her mana.
She was still the weakest among Arnold's summons in terms of strength, but her strength was still much more than what 99% of the warriors yearned to have. And the way she dragged Bai Tao, a brawler, out of the dungeon with only one of her hands, was the proof of her new strength.

"Good... lord..."
These were the only two words that escaped from Bai Tao's mouth when he saw the carnage Arnold had caused outside the dungeon. Thanks to Chiang Ling's illegal activities, The Golden dragon guild had made a lot of enemies. But due to their 'generous' nature, the enemies had always stayed away from them. But Chiang didn't trust them not to attack his warriors as they were always on the lookout for a chance to royally screw the Golden Dragon's over.
Thus the guild always sent a subjugation squad along with the main attack team in order to protect the main attacking squad from outside danger. While the attacking team was busy taking care of the monsters inside the dungeon, the subjugation squad were stationed outside to ensure the attacking team's safety from their fellow humans.
For that reason, each of the subjugation squads was made up of at least 50 warriors. These were special warriors who were ruthlessly trained to take care of humans rather than monsters or in other words... they were groomed to be psycho killers who were trained to kill anyone in their sight. But thanks to Yu Zhung, not even the police or the politicians gave a crap about who they were.
That's why, Bai Tao was worried about going outside because, in his eyes, no mere human could take care of the savage beasts known as the subjugation squad by themselves. When he saw Arnold, his first guess was that Arnold was a master of stealth and had somehow managed to sneak past the subjugation squad in order to save him from a gruesome death.
But he was wrong. Arnold wasn't someone who would need to sneak past those weaklings. He faced them head-on and as a result, he ended up killing most of them since he was still having trouble adjusting to his new monstrous strength.

However, death only came to those who were lucky enough. But those who weren't... were left to struggle to try and get a hold over their brutally disfigured body. Among the dead, some had a huge chunk of their chest missing. Some of them had their limbs torn apart. While some of them had their entire lower body missing but most of them were left to atone for their sins. However, in the blood-soaked ground that glistened under the carmine sun, there was no salvation for them.
Bai Tao couldn't take it anymore and proceeded to puke his guts out. Alice would've been a bit disturbed by this sight as well if she hadn't heard of what Arnold did to Andrex and his family a couple of weeks ago. But after that knowing what Arnold did to them, this didn't come as a surprise for her.
The only thing she was surprised about what the fact that a few miserable souls were still alive in the field of death. Under Arnold's wing, she too had become indifferent towards such pieces of trash. People like them were better off dead than being alive. What she previously saw as a crime, she now considered as a way to purge their corrupt souls while shielding the while protecting the innocent.
"We're dead... we're all dead..." Bai Tao kept mumbling the same thing incoherently, "Yu Zhung will kill us all..."
Alice gently lifted his face up. His eyes were close to hers... so much so that Bai Tao could see his reflection in them. Alice kept leaning in, Bai Tao closed his eyes as his lips got closer and closer to the beautiful maiden's. He didn't know why the foreigner was doing it, and neither did he bothered to know.
He thought that maybe the fair maiden had taken a liking to him. Why else would someone lean in to kiss him? But the next moment all of his immature dreams were shattered when Alice slapped him so hard about half a dozen of his teeth went flying out of his mouth.
Whether she was dead or not, Alice still hated crybabies. That was the reason she had previously taken a liking to Arnold, but seeing someone who started crying like a baby at the littlest of things was a total turn off for her.
'Come on Arnold... how long are you planning to take to slay one monster? Just get back already!'
