Book 2: Chapter 35: Great Hunters Always Prepare a Backup

“What do you have to say now?”

“Wew…”

Calm down, although my identity has been exposed because of Carol’s mental retardation, I still have the life-saving trick of the teleportation scroll. Now I just have to rush to Carol and teleport away with her before the clown reacts, and if that doesn’t work, I can just leave by myself.

Although at the moment I am being held by the men in black with a knife to my neck, with the physical cababilities of a dragon, I am fully capable of breaking away in an instant.

Well, just do it. Although the use of the Scrolls now will definitely alert the auction house, I don’t want to be caught by the auction house and sold as slaves. The dignified Dragon Princess Artemis Niger Lilith can’t afford to lose to these people!

As I secretly gathered strength, ready to break through the black men and rush to Carol to steal her away, Carol acted again.

Perhaps Carol knew that my identity was exposed because of her action, and she was trying to make up for that by doing something helpful.

However, if I could do everything over, I wouldn’t care about Carol at all and just directly teleport out of here.

It turns out that I’m too naive.

Carol took advantage of the clown’s attention on me, and suddenly threw herself on the clown and hugged him tightly, and then yelled with a voice that could be heard by all the audience, “Lilith, run away! I know you’re not an ordinary person. You can even use Rank 9 scrolls at will. You must have some items that let you escape. Leave me! Hurry!!!!”

“……”

Although I couldn’t see my own expression, at that moment, I must have looked like an old air conditioner, and I felt despair that rushed from my feet to the top of my head.

I finally understood why Durango just lost his hope for life like a salted fish.

I … Is this retribution?

But if deceiving people will be punished, Miss Carol’s retribution will probably destroy the world.

“Well? Why aren’t you leaving, Lilith?”

I… how the heck am I going to leave, you dimwit!!! The scroll isn’t instantaneous, it has to be taken out and then triggered with a specific key phrase, it may be useful if they weren’t prepared, but you just had to scream out about its existence, you idiot!!!

You ask why I’m crying? That’s because I want to cut down this guy who is still pretending to be innocent!

“Heh-heh, I see. So you do have a backing, after all?”

The clown grabbed at Carol, who was wrapped around him with her octopus-like grip.

“Waaaaa, let me go … it hurts … it hurts …”

The clown drew a dagger out of nowhere and placed it on Carol’s neck, “You can go, but your companion will just…”

After speaking, he scratched Carol’s neck slightly, leaving a trail of blood.

“Awawawawawa… Lilith, don’t abandon me …” Carol begged, not daring to struggle anymore and cry while trembling.

Where did your earlier bravado go?!?!

“Okay, hand over your storage ring.” The clown said with a sneer, the mask on his face looked extremely sinister in the light.

“………”

………

………

“Lilith……”

“Lilith………”

“Liiiiiilllllliiiiiiiittttttttthhhhhh….. I’m your cute little Carol, why are you ignoring me~”

“Don’t talk to me.”

“Waaa, Lilith, I didn’t mean it, forgive me …”

Seeing that the good girl act was useless, Carol flew straight into my arms and began to beg.

I pushed Carol away and sneered, “It’s okay I’ll forgive you, as long as you can take us out of this ⓢⓗⓘⓣⓣⓨ place.”

“Uwaaa… you know I can’t do it …”

“Then you can help me get rid of the shackles and fetters.”

“Wow … I can’t seem to do that either…”

“Then what can you do?”

“I’m cute …”

“Ⓕⓤⓒⓚⓘⓝⓖ hell! I’ll strangle you!”

“Awawawawawa… it hurts, the chains are hurting my flesh… Uuuu… Mistress Lilith I was wrong … let me go …”

“Oh, if an apology was enough, we wouldn’t need police? Die, traitor !!!”

“I… I’m not a traitor… Ugh… dying! I’m dying…”

“Not a traitor? All you need to do is just to stay on top of the stage. Why do you have to make trouble out of nothing? And you even have to pull me into it…”

When I talk about this, I get angry, thinking that I, the dragon princess Artemis Niger Lilith is now not only caught by slave merchants, but also locked up in a cage. Who knew just what had been locked in here before, it is stinky and has some unknown liquid in it! More importantly, I’ve been put in handcuffs and fetters.

Have I lost all my dignity as a dragon?

And all this was caused by this girl who killed thousands of swords in front of me … haha! Let’s kill her!

“Can’t you girls be quiet for a while, it’s noisy.”

Durango, who had been lying dead in the corner like a dead fish since he’d been caught, suddenly spoke.

“You, could it be that you don’t want to kill the culprit?”

“I want to kill you more. How would I have been caught if not because of you? I’m innocent!”

“What are you talking about, partner? As partners, isn’t it natural for us to share equal responsibilities?”

“Who the heck are your companions!” Durango straightened up and glared at me. After taking off the mask, his face looked younger than I thought and should be about the same age as Carol.

Maybe he also snuck out from home…

“That said, she looks like she’s gonna die soon.”

“Hmph!”

Now’s not the time to be hurting each other, after tossing the fainted Carol to the side, the most important thing to do now is to figure out how to escape.

The men in black left us after they threw us here, so they could continue to guard the auction.

While the auction is still going on, all the focus will be on the auction. So this is our only chance to escape.

Moreover…

Naive clown, did you really think I only had one ring? I knew that excellent hunters always have a backup.

Although my scrolls above the Saint rank were in the confiscated ring, my weapons and lower-ranked scrolls are here…

Hahahaha… you are all still too inexperienced to challenge me.

“Blegh…”

“Uwa… how disgusting … what are you doing?”

I wiped the saliva from the corner of my mouth and ignored Durango’s disgusted expression, answering, “Hidden position in the stomach … Isn’t it a basic operation to hide the ring?”

“Of course not !!!! When did you swallow it?”

“Don’t mind the details.”

I held the still shining ring in the dim light with a cold smile on the corner of my mouth.

“Be prepared to suffer, I shall make you feel twice the shame that I feel now!!”
