-krieet-

Ragha opened the gate and found less than ten soldiers in the area.

"ok then.."

-dash-

He aimed for the three nearest soldiers in front of him. They still didn't realize the situation.

"what?!"

-buugh-

Two of them were defeated just like that. One of them reached his sword and took a distance from Ragha.

-buugh-

A straight attack to his torso. He fell to the ground. Two soldiers at the upper floor aimed their crossbow and the other two at the opposite side approached him with their sword ready.

-whuuss-

Two arrows missed their target. Ragha dashed and chopped their right hand.

-clannk-

Their swords were dropped by his attack. They didn't have time to respond and got knocked down to the ground.

"inform the barrack!! there's an intruder!!"

"roger that!"

He ran towards a big bell with a magic device attached at its top. Most likely that was the loud speaker magic device.

"you will regret with what you're doing.."

-dhaar-

"always look for the reinforcement or signal..." Ragha mumbled

-buugh-

He took care of him in an instant. He continued to move forward to his last opponent.

"don't you think you can take me that easy! hyaa"

He brandished his sword vertically towards Ragha and used all his strength.

-whuuum-

Ragha easily evaded that attack and countered it with side punch.

-buugh-

He fell to the ground.

"glad savior told me basic things about infiltrate this fort"

He headed to the door at the center of the area and went in to find out the prison where Chanotte and the elves were held by the commander.

He passed through a corridor and saw a junction in front of him. He stopped and tried to remember that blue print that his savior showed at the inn.

"wait.... if this south area then....hmm, this is bad, i forget where the prison is.."

He lifted up his ears and closed his eyes. He tried to focus and gathered information around his surrounding.

-sniff-

".....blood... this is the smell of blood.."

He turned his sight to the right. He was pretty sure that smell came from that way.

"better check it then" He nodded

He silently walked and followed the way to this smell of blood. This far, he didn't meet any soldier.

"there's no human's presence... there's no way those soldiers are the only guards in this south area"

He kept walking till he found a door at the end of the corridor. This door most likely led to the underground, judged by the landscape around it.

"most likely... this is it.."

-krieet-

He slowly opened the door. He could see a small lounge with few tables and chairs at the center of it. Some beer glasses and untouched meats were seen on the table. Those things were indicated that some people were here recently.

"no sign of prison or elves here..."

He could see a stair that led even deeper to underground in the end of that room. A faint voice could be heard from there. He raised his alertness and went down to find out the source of that voice.

"-ctass- hmmmm..... she doesn't respond.."

"..uugh....haa...."

"oi! Warlen! you said they are sensitive!!"

"they are Phenett! what're you doing anyway?"

"i whipped her! and she doesn't respond at all!"

"geez... you're giving her stimulation too much. Try not to kill her won't you?"

"there are still plenty of them anyway, beside...in the end, commander need them to be dead. Right?"

"but still...-sigh- there's no use to talk with you"

"ahahaha, don't try to be a smart person now Warlen!"

He pinched the poor elf's ears and also pulled them.

"arrgh, come on....-tch- seemed she is dying over here"

He pushed her body and she fell to the ground like a puppet that lost its string.

"well, try to find someone who has more passion than this one, hm?"

He looked at the stair and found a man standing there. He stared at him intensely with a murderous aura.

"what the... who are you?"

Ragha couldn't hide his anger when he saw this terrible scene in front of him.

-krrrrrrrrr-

He showed his teeth and his claws.
