"aaargh!!! holy mother!! that's hurt!"

Zaghard screamed the moment Khall's claw stabbed his side.

-craang-

The black chain was pulled harder and He almost fell.

"this female dog.. you really have a talent to make me angry!!"

-krrt-

He tried to pull back the black chain but it wouldn't budge. In the meantime, his wounds kept getting worse.

-drep-

Foot steps were getting closer from the prison entrance. After few seconds, they could see clearly who was pulling the black chain.

"that's!! the monster that killed sir Arshon!"

"so it could attack sir Zaghard? but how?"

"non sense! our north prison is in the [DISAPPROVAL] skill's area!! how can a mere monster do that? it is also tied with black chain nonetheless!"

"but.. that's the monster.... we won't forget that silver hair.."

Shanti came out from the prison. Her bare breast could be seen by everyone in that place. Her silky hair became dirty and tangled in some places. There were some bruises on her stomach and her shoulder.

"female dog...? that's right. This female dog will bite you till you die" Her voice was quite calm

"-kgggh- Shanti... your clothes... your condition...."

Ragha tried to stand up while holding his wounds.

"FILTHY HUMAN!!! AREN'T YOU ASHAMED!!"

His anger sight was directed at Zaghard. He barely could hold his anger when he saw what those humans did with the elves, but now he saw Shanti.... his family in that miserable condition. He just couldn't hold back anymore.

"-krrrrrrrrr- I'LL KILL YOU!!"

-brugh-

He fell again. His wounds were more fatal than his thought.

"KRRR.. SHA....SHANTI....?"

Khall responded to her name. Since his fight with Ragha, his head was really hurt whenever he heard those names. Ohre village, Shanti, Khall.... everything made his head hurt.

"-kgh- curse these monsters... arrgh! the bleeding won't stop."

Zaghard used his left hand to press his side to stop his bleeding. Khall's movement also stopped because of his headache, but it's not with Shanti.

She slowly pulled Zaghard toward her direction. Her veins were visible and her claws became longer and sharper. That's definitely the beast mode sign.

"this is happening again... -kggh- why could this dog use its skill under the effect of [DISAPPROVAL]?"

-zrrg-

"men! kill that dog!! archer and ranged skill focus to this beast!!"

Zaghard shouted and gave his order, yet no one responded to it.

"MEN! ARE YOU DEAF?! KILL THAT DOG!"

There's still no response. He kept getting closer toward Shanti's direction. With his wounds, it's very hard to maintain his stance.

"KRRR... DON'T GET.... CLOSE"

Seeing Zaghard getting closer to Shanti, Khall became furious. It's not really clear if that was caused by his memory about her or Shanti's smell that was different than the elves.

Whatever the reason was, he knew one thing for sure. Shanti was his and no one could get close to her.

"enough.."

Zaghard used his skill.

[GRAVITY PRIDE V]

-dharr-

The area around him was pressed by a heavy pressure. No one could move inside the area.

The soldiers around him also got effected by his skill, but he didn't care anymore. This situation already made his patience lost.

"MEN! GIVE SUPPORT FROM THE OUTSIDE..."

When he looked to the soldiers at the outside of his skill's area, he saw something strange.

Libhane raised his right hand. That was the sign for the soldiers to only respond to his command.

That's the reason why no one was responding to Zaghard's order.

"commander? why are you doing this?"

He really didn't get what's going on here. He was dying and the bleeding wouldn't stop. Why did his commander do this?.

"Zaghard... don't you get it?"

"no commander! i don't! please command them to heal me! then i can kill all of these pest!!"

"really? can you see what happened with Chillyd over there?"

"huh? what's wrong with that brat..."

He saw Chillyd lying on the ground. Several soldiers used healing skill at him. Near them, Yana stood with a calm expression.

"That man? he defeated that brat?! then, no problem commander! heal me and...."

He got a very cold looks from his commander.

"listen Zaghard.... Chillyd is far stronger than you, yet he was defeated by that pest that you mentioned before. So tell me, how will you take care all of this mess?"

"huh? what're you talking about commander?! that brat is stronger than me? -kgh-"

Bloods were coming out from both of his neck and side. He must got healed soon.

"Zaghard, you're in that state because you're playing too much. Chillyd seriously did his duty and how about you?"

Libhane continued his words.

"if i let them heal you, it's the same as a mocking to Chillyd's effort"

He stared at Zaghard.

"prove yourself as the captain of this fort... or i will replace you with someone else"

Zaghard realized that he couldn't rely to anyone except himself to get out from this situation.
