Chapter 567: Ransomed

<o> ,m Pov Blood Demon Queen Eve: </o>

My race has always been shunned by others of this continuum, many people see our capabilities in combat and think the rumors about us are true.

Unfortunately, few people really know about us, maybe because we didn't stay in the same place for a long time, it contributed to this, but even so, I can't accept what happened this time.

We were poisoned when hunting prey, someone poisoned the monsters in the region just to capture us, when it covers the conscience I realize that I was the first to wake up, in addition, I was chained without being able to use my mana and my body felt weak.

As the Queen of my race on this continent I failed to protect my people, it didn't take long to see the enemy that captured us, but strangely his eyes were filled with sadness, he was a High Elf with a strength close to mine as far as I could observe.

One thing I noticed was that the others who were keeping us locked up had guilty looks on their faces, all of my people just like me had to wear gags all the time, I realized this was so they wouldn't hear our voices, we weren't even given the right to speak.

Every day we were forced to eat bread and water to a minimum so as not to starve to death and keep on the journey, all the while I didn't give up trying to find a way to escape, but I couldn't use my power and that's why I always failed to run away.

All that was left for me and my people was to pray to the supreme Goddess of Life and Death, the one whose power connects all living beings from the beginning to the end of many, the Blood Goddess Selene.

We pray with all our hearts for a miracle, we keep praying day and night in our minds, I always hoped that we would be saved by the grace of the Goddess Selene, I myself possess the Blessings of the Goddess.

But I was surprised when we were forced to enter this continent's forbidden land of death when we entered a strange artifact that was used to bring hundreds of people safely to the Capital of this ruined Kingdom.

We were forced to wait inside a Tower not knowing what was happening until a few days ago when that High Elf came to see us, I almost don't recognize him seeing his pitiful state.

His face was pale and he had dark marks all over his body, I also noticed some kind of Runa on his body, but it was barely visible because of the clothes.

I tried to understand what they were talking to each other, but they used the language of the Elves that I don't know, all I know was that on the way I heard some Demons among them dating something about sacrifice, and it made me understand why we were captured.

These were not the first who tried to capture people of my race to use as sacrifices, the high vitality that the Goddess Selene has blessed us with has always been the envy of other races.

But this time all my people were captured, as a leader I was naive, but I will not give up until the end and if in the end I am killed, then I will ask the Goddess on the other side for forgiveness.

----------

We've been standing in this place for a long time, I hear the sounds of battles every day outside, I often wanted to believe it was the rescue, but deep down I knew it was just the undead in this region.

This place would be difficult for anyone to get to, and it would be difficult to find us in an unexpected region.

I had always believed that the Goddess would not abandon my people, but I wasn't sure if help would arrive in time.

But a strange situation happened, a woman with dark skin and eyes of different colors, she caught the attention the moment she appeared, that's because her clothes were worn out, but her skin was immaculate and her eyes were calm.

She held a helmet in her hand which she threw at one of the guards to block his vision as a black crystal scaled tail cut in half the other two guards and she approached the guard with her vision obstructed to sever his head with large claws that emerged in place of her hand, she attacked and killed all three at the same time.

It's been days since only three guards have been watching us, it seems the others stayed outside to fight the undead invaders, so when those three died my eyes filled with hope.

"Was that the last one?"

"..." (I)

I couldn't speak, so I nodded my head in confirmation to say that there were no more guards in this room.

"That's good so the ones outside I killed and those were all."

As she spoke to me I saw her shadow reaching out to all the bodies as black tentacles pulled those bodies into her shadow.

She looked at all of us before focusing her vision on me, I know I draw attention to being the only one who doesn't have a red skin, so I didn't find it strange to see her approach me.

"You seem the only one in a position to speak, I imagine they did something to make you more obedient, so most of you are unconscious right?"

"Let me release you first."

She used her claws to cut the chains holding my body and the gag in my mouth.

"Thank you... for saving my people..." (I)

"Don't worry about it, by the marks on your body and the sparkle in your eyes, it looks like you didn't give up, the master will be glad to hear that."

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Nix, I'm here to rescue you, but first let me release the others." (Nix)

"< Moonbeam >" (Nix)

I see silver rays of light coming out of the Rune that Nix draws in the air, these silver rays of light have broken everyone's chains, then I see a Dragon's head coming out of Nix's shadow.

"Careful...careful, behind...you." (I)

"Stay calm, this is just your way out of this place." (Nix)

As Nix explained, the Dragon's jaw opens behind her showing a portal inside, I understand what it is with just one look.

"(A Dungeon...)" (I)

Soon people started to come out of the Dungeon, they were Elves, Ghouls, Orcs, Ogres, and several other races, they take those who are unconscious of my people and help them to enter the Dungeon.

Tears

"(Thank you Goddess...)" (I)
