Takahashi was taken back to the place where they are residing, and I took down the barrier. The town suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere of the whole place change.
The air was still, and the sky just decided to become cloudy. I knew this would cause some trouble in the future so I decided to make sure that when that trouble come, I should be prepared.
On the next morning when they departed from town and the town was now allowed to row outside their houses, I went to the black smith place to get a sword that could handle my force and some gear to head into the forests with.
At the time it was noon, so I had to go move fast so that my mother wouldn't suspect anything since she still had no idea that I was the one that put the barrier down at our house.
Since I had unsealed my true energy, I had no problem making it there. I could control the forces that was around me, so I just made myself lighter to get out of town without making any sound.
When I got to the forest I looked for some sort of hilly place that could possibly hold some metal. I had to get a lot of it so I could make a sword that could handle all of my force.
I found a place called Magenta hill that had a considerable amount of steal. it was located on the farthest side of the forest, so I had to fight some monsters to get there.
I embarked on my journey and walked straight though the forest. Sure, I could my force controlling abilities to make myself lighter again, but the problem would be that if I do that, I could lose the chance to go monster collecting and battle experience in a body of a 15-year-old.
I started hunting down monsters on the way to get some idea to how powerful the monsters around the forest can be. Many of the were low rank monster around rank B and D but they were no problem, so I just took them down, collected some of them and went on my way.
On the way I fund some trials that looked to be from a carriage. the last time I checked there were no routs that led through the forest, so I followed them.
I found some blood traces on the trail, and it seemed like they were hunters, so I thought they were just here to hunt some monsters, but adventurers don't usually use carriages to go into the forest, and it was dangerous to have one in the forest since monsters could attack at any time.
Continuing on the trail I found some footprints on the ground that looked like they were struggling with something, maybe a beast the captured was trying to run away but there were no trials of a beast anywhere.
Then I heard someone calling for help and I rushed in to help, but to my Suprise I found some men holding a little girl no older than five years old. They put her in the carriage.
When they saw me, they just told me to scram and mind my own business, so I let them be until I heard some sound coming from the carriage. It sounded like there were a lot of people in the carriage straggling to move and speak.
I stood still and I heard the men say that one of them should go and shut the merchandise up. In response to that, one of them went and took out a whip.
I started hearing cries coming from carriage and that made me realize what they were up to. They were slave traders; people wo went around the place capturing people and selling them to people from rich families.
I had no interest in helping captured but the cries from the carriage dint stop and then I heard a terrible scream from there and the man in the carriage said that he accidently broke one of their arms.
The others just laughed and said that they and said that it way useless and they already had enough so one less wouldn't hurt their profits.
I heard that and I decided to take action. since they already saw me, I didn't plan on doing a stealth attack.
They saw me coming and told me to go back but I ignored that and with a speed attack I took one by surprise and cut his neck off. The others seemed scared, but I already made my mind up that I would cut their necks off their necks of their showers.
I finished the rest of them of and took the keys to the carriage to free the captives.
most of them were women, the beast folk and children. Luckily most of the women and children were related so I had no other responsibilities.
I was about to walk away when one of the women told me that there was an elf girl that had an injured arm and couldn't move it, they wanted me to look after her since she was the only one that had no one to look after her.
The reason they couldn't look after her was because she was an elf and they were known to have a bad attitude agents the humans. Though she was just a child everyone was scared of her.
I told them it was fin and I'll look after her, so he took some of the supplies and I told them where the nearest village was. The elf girl had passed out from the pain that her arm caused.
I stayed there waiting for her to wake up until night fall. When she finally woke up, she was agonizing in pain and when she saw me, she was terrified.
She tried to run away but he fell down and twisted her ancle. She kept telling to let her go. I told her that she could go if she wanted but this place was full of monsters, and she'd be eaten in a blink of an eye.
She didn't believe me, so she crawled away. I left her to do what she wanted but I followed up in the trees.
Trying to get as far as possible she kept on crawling until she got to a place that looked safe. it looked quiet and clear, but little did she know that was on a feeding ground.
She was near a cave that belong to a bear I had encountered. It managed to escape in there when I was dealing with some cyber tooth tigers.
She had no idea how in danger she as I until she heard a roar coming from the cave. she the saw the massive bear and right before it could lay a hand on her I cut the bears paw down. Roaring in agony it tried to get away again, I cut its neck off before it could even take a single step
When I looked at her, she was completely terrified and started scrambling back in fear. I just use the particles around her to move her gently back to the camp site that I had set up.
Back at the camp, I asked her if she wanted me to treat her broken arm. She didn't respond so I just took her arm and aligned the bone and put some mana I to her arm to help her body cells to grow faster.
The arm was reattached, but she recoiled when she saw me heal her arm. I told her to stretch out her strained leg and I healed her ancle.
I asked how she was caught since the elves never actually go out of their village; she said that the whole reason why she was caught was because of use the dirty humans.
The village which they live in was destroyed in a war between the humans and the elves. She was trying to run away to safety with her parents when some people shot some arrows at them and killed both her parents.
She was left with no choice but to run into the forest. She was followed and caught by the traders.
She had no place to go and was just running away from the war only to get caught by the traders. I asked if she was going some were when she was running away but she said that she was only running to get away from the war.
I told her that if she was willing, she could stay with me until she had a place to go to. I told her to sleep in the tent for the night, and I would stay up to be the look out. Though she was a little hesitant to go in she eventually went in the tent.
The next morning when she woke up, I gave some food to fill her belly since I had a long way to go now that she was here.
I asked her for a name, and she told me that it was Lilith
