We had decided to buy things like honest people. We might empty the shops, but we’ll buy our stuff like normal decent human beings!
…Even if none of us are human.
And for that, I had also brought my little guy, a merchant we had once caught. He’s still somewhat alive and not at the same time. He’s like a living zombie that I control using my powers as if he were my marionette.
We decided to come out of the shadows to be decent human people, walk around our fellow human beings, and buy stuff from their fellow human shops with the fellow human being’s gold coins!
That we didn’t totally steal.
“Now, now, let’s see… Eh?”
“Oi, pretty ladies!”
“Hehe, what are you three doing alone on a Friday night?”
“You’re looking for a drink?”
A trio of clowns greeted us.
Wait, didn’t this happen in another Duchy before?
Their destiny was… being killed.
Hm, I better just evade them.
“Let’s ignore them for now,” I said.
“Sure,” Said Partner.
“Okay,” Said Emeraldine.
We passed through them without problems, but they kept following us around. The trio looked like they were guards of the duchy and were completely drunk too.
“Who do you think you are to ignore us? Hic…”
“We are soldiers!”
“If you ignore us, we could put you in jail….”
The trio followed us around for some time, but we were faster.
When we reached the shop we wanted to go to, we finally thought we had lost them, but they showed up on the other side of the street.
“Oiii!”
“Uwah! Let me go!”
“Hehehe, you’re a cute elf….”
“Oi, come with us for a bit,”
“Elves love sex, right?”
Emeraldine suddenly was being dragged by two of them. They grabbed her arms, and the third one grabbed her hips. They were not weak at all as soldiers, but not strong either.
Why?
Well…
“Fuck off!”
The delicate Emeraldine used her high Strength Stat as she punched the faces of all these creeps and threw them to the ground rather mercilessly. All three of them were left knocked out in one punch.
“We better not let them be seen….” She sighed.
“Yeah, I guess they’re going to the shadow realm,” I said as I expanded my shadows and swallowed them all.
They died instantly.
Well, that was super easy and anticlimactic, but I guess that’s all. Can’t really mess around with my Elf girl and think you’re going to come out of it debt-free. Especially because you just tried to rape her in front of her love interest, and I am not into NTR!
However, I decided to not eat their souls and left them as companions for now. They began talking about a bunch of stuff, recommending me shops, and more.
“Miss Maria, there’s a good shop that sells booze at a 50% discount on Friday!”
“There’s a drug seller over there. He sells the good stuff,”
“In that place, you can buy child slaves, not like I can afford them,”
“Eh?! You guys know all the shady shit!” I said.
“What a pain, but let’s go save them,” Said Emeraldine.
“I guess…” Sighed Partner.
We ended up interrupting our shopping as we flew to all the places these guys knew about. We quickly reached a hideout inside the slums where there were a lot of shady-looking guys holding a lot of slaves in cages.
“God damn, will the people of this world ever stop being so fucking awful? Can you guys be good people for just five fucking minutes?” I sighed.
The group of shady-looking evildoers looked at me. They were all ugly as fuck. Probably all bandits. They looked like them and had shady skills such as [Enslaving] and even [Libido]. They probably raped slaves on a daily basis.
Ugh… why can’t there be a place without shit like this?
The worst part is that I cannot really ignore it when I learn about it… the first time, I ignored this place and didn’t know, but now that I am here, I might as well stop all criminals doing stuff with slaves (I don’t care much about drugs or whatever, if they buy them, it’s not my problem), and rescue these people.
“Oi! Who the heck are ya?!”
“A girl?!”
“Holy shit, she’s hot as fuck!”
“Hey, how the heck did you get here?”
“I-I saw her cross through the door as if she were a… a… G-G-G-GHOST!”
“GHOST?!”
“Uwahahahaha! I am a ghost! Indeed! Now prepare to pay for your sins, you shitheads!”
I spread my body across the entire place and divided it into countless snakes. Everyone began to scream in horror over the bizarre situation as they drowned in snakes. Some of them even got inside their mouths and asphyxiated them, while others just died out of fear by a stroke.
The EXP was very little because I was already crazy strong. Maybe in the past, I would have gotten better EXP… but for now, that’s it.
They killed all the bandits inside the hideout with ease. Being so strong makes side quests easy to do.
“W-Who are you?”
“That woman is a ghost?”
“But why would a ghost… help us?”
My snakes rescued the people from their cages. There were approximately twenty people here. Around 7 of them were children below ten years of age. It was fucking awful.
“Don’t worry. We are here to help… I might be a ghost, but I am an Apostle of Hel, the Goddess of the Netherworld. Unlike the church of the God of Light who approves of this, I go against them,” I said.
“Ooohh!”
“Sh-She’s blessed by the goddess?”
“No way…”
“She must really be a priestess!”
“Priestess!”
The people were gullible, mostly because they just wanted to get the fuck out of here.
“Alright, guys, jump into my shadows, you’ll be able to stay there, and I will protect you from any harm until we can reach a safe place,” I said.
“T-This is… okay!”
The people quickly began to jump into my shadows.
Meanwhile, Emeraldine and Partner were in the underground…
