How to Create a Farm with the All-Known Fantasy Book - 36: Breaking out of Jail.
***Tyson’s POV***
I’ve been fighting off the guards for more than five minutes already…
The body count keeps rising, yet I haven’t seen Martin come out of those walls with the rest of them. What is going on??
***Martin’s POV***
Shit.
‘Its more guarded than I could have imagined, and what’s worse is that a mage is in the area. To think that She didn’t take interest in Tyson’s distraction.’
I bet Tyson can easily take down a hundred guards at least…but seeing as how only a quarter of the people positioned at the prison only took interest at his distraction isn’t enough for me to slip inside the jail cell.
I’m running out of time.
But as he was in deep thought, all of a sudden, two guards came to report to the mage who was stationed at the prison.
“What!? A castle tower was destroyed!? How was that possible?” asked the mage outloud in a fit of rage.
“We’re not sure, but we already sent guards over there to check out the situation.” said the guard reporting the situation to the mage.
“Tsk! Dammit, I’m already busy enough as is, what is that stupid Odys doing right now to not even check out the situation at hand.”
“Madam, there was something that our guards found out in the site of the tower. They reported that a demon was found dead and that it was best for you to see this monster in person.” said the Guard.
“A demon!? What the hell is a Demon doing on top of a tower? And why didn’t you report this to Odys first before me. These kinds of things are usually handled by him and not me.” said the Mage.
“We couldn’t find him. We checked his quarters but he wasn’t there.” said the Guard.
“…What? Fuck, fine, guide me to the tower, I’ll handle this myself.” as the mage spoke of a command to the guard, the Guard simply did his job and guided the raging mage to the tower.
As they left the prison, Martin took this chance to get inside the tower.
‘Hmm, looks like I can risk getting into the cell now.’ thought Martin as he then made his move to proceed into the Jail cell.
As quick as he could, he was able to get inside by causing another distraction that could temporarily disturb the order of the entire prison.
*boom*
After a minute of the mage leaving, a small fiery uprise emerged from one of the watch towers in the prison. All of the prison guards were immediately attracted by this fire and with that time of disruption, Martin didn’t waste getting into the jail cell.
“…” having to walk downwards the stairs, with only a torch to light his way, he was careful in meeting any guards that may come up to watch the incident of the burning watch tower.
Having a throwing knife on hand, he was always ready to strike at a foe.
“It sounds like things are getting rowdy up there.” said one of the guards.
“Its probably one of those intruders that came from the empire, so don’t mind it. We shouldn’t leave our post now with what we have to guard in here.” said the other guard.
“…right…right.” but as the guard affirmed his curiosity, when he turned to the other guard, the other guard had already loss balance as his throat was dripping in blood.
He didn’t notice it…none of them could. but the slice to the throat was so efficient and clean that it made the other guard shiver in fear.
“!!?” the other Guard tried to scream for help, but to the shocking sight in front of him, his thought and voice could not be made.
And with it, another knife was thrown his way.
Having to kill two of the guards, Martin made his way and picked up the keys that were attached to one of the guard’s belt.
“…Hmm. I better make this quick.” with no hesitation, Martin Canada dashed through room to room at a quick pace while not missing a single detail of what was inside those rooms. He even had to kill five more guards as he dug deeper into the jail cell.
‘…This is the last area, everything else was nothing but thieves and bastards.’
As he opened the door, he saw two doors that were both heavily secured by Iron of about a 12 inch thickness. Two iron doors that were separated from one another.
“Alexander…Bedever, Are you guys there?” he asked the left door first.
“…Martin? Is that you?” said a voice that seems to have come from Alexander.
“Yes…is everyone alright?” he asked.
“We’re not too hurt, but it seems like they separated Genevieve from our room. Did you find her?” asked Alexander whose voice was muffled because of the 12 inch metal door.
“No, I still haven’t found her, but there’s another room beside you guys, maybe she’s in here.” said Martin.
“Good, so quickly, open the door and we should regroup with the others.” said Orion.
As fast as Martin was in handling the keys and opening the door, he was successful.
In front of him was the sight of the imprisoned imperial dragons. Having shown that they were chained with a metal cuff, Martin didn’t hesitate to slash down on the cuffs with his dagger.
*Ting!*
But to his surprise, the cuffs were undamaged by his strike.
“These cuffs are magic, I can’t do anything about this.” said Martin.
“We can’t tear these things in two because its reinforced by magic and its also making us weak at a certain level. These cuffs are impossible to take off. ” said Bedever.
“If our strength can’t handle these cuffs…Maybe Genevieve can. Go get her. She’s the only one out of all of us who was gifted with mana.” said Alexander as it was already common knowledge that simple attacks wont do well with magic.
“Alright.” said Martin.
And having stepped out of the room, he made his way to the other room which was also easily accessible by the key in his hand.
But as he opened it, he surprised to find a sight that was appalling.
“G-Genevieve…” To Martin’s shock, his grip tightened in anger.
With the sight of a saint that was tide on both of her hands and feet, blood was dripping down from her wrist at a rapid pace, down to a rusting bucket. It seems like the people responsible for this cutted her wrist to make her bleed faster, seeing as how the bucket was nearly full.
“Genevieve!” as quick as Martin could in helping her by cutting down the rope from her legs and hands, he tried shacking her body to bring her back to a conscious state.
“Wake up Genevieve. Wake up.” said Martin.
“Hn…hnn~~M-martin?” in her unhealthy tone of voice, her pale face and tired eyes, she made the effort to slowly look to Martin in question.
“W-where…where am I?” asked Genevieve.
“Genevieve, stay strong, we’ll have you treated as quick as possible!” said Martin.
“Martin, what’s going on?” shouted Alexander across the other room.
“Its Genevieve, she’s lost a lot of blood…those Bastards drained it out of her like she was an animal!” said Martin in a furious tone.
“”!?”‘ to everyone in the other room, shock was put on their faces.
“I don’t think she can help us right now.” said Martin in worry.
“What are we going to do Alexander?” asked Orion.
“…” but Alexander was quiet.
“…Alexander?” and Orion asked again.
*Sigh~* “I was going to save this when we were going to face off against the demon…but it looks like I don’t have any other choice in the matter.” said Alexander.
“What are you talking about?” asked Orion.
“…Martin, come and bring Genevieve here in this room. I need you to do something for me.” said Alexander.
“…O-Okay.” Having complied to the order, Martin carried Genevieve out of the disgusting room and brought her to the other room where the Imperial Dragons resided.
“Okay…listen to me closely because this is very important.” said Alexander in a serious manner.
“…What is it?” asked Martin.
“At the left end of my tooth, where inside wisdom tooth is a hidden pill.”
“…You have a pill hidden in you teeth?” asked Orion.
“That pill contains a secret formula crafted by the Modelva Family to grant the user a temporary use of magic. It’ll only last you about ten seconds at most…during that time, you must use every focus you have into breaking off all of the cuffs tied to our hands.” said Alexander.
“W-what!? I don’t know how to use magic.” said Martin.
“We don’t have a choice. Look, its easy…its not the same as what usually happens when a mage uses Magic. This pill forcefully brings out the Magic all over your Body. It’s a highly concentrated magical dose of a drug…there’s no need for training or practice.” said Alexander.
“.…Okay…fine.” As martin looked to the heavily breathing Genevieve, he was pressured into doing what was told.
Alexander opened his mouth wide and with it, Martin reached inside to grab the saliva-mixed pill.
It was a blue pill that was smaller than a green pea but had the ominous nature of what was known as magic.
“…Is this what your Family has been working on for the past few years in your house?” asked Orion.
“Aside from Medicine, the Modelva Family has always dreamed of being blessed with the factor of mana…its always been our lifetime goal. Sadly our luck has never been so high. With today’s science and tequipment, that pill is the latest standard of our experiments.”
“Couldn’t you have just used a mage’s blood?” asked Bedever.
“Using a Mage’s blood is a Demon’s work of practice. Every mage and scholar knows that. The Modelva Family has always pride ourselves in the ethical manner of research…anything else is but a sin to our own pride.” said Alexander so pridefully.
“sorry…” said Bedever.
“…Martin, you have to do it quick and strong.” said Alexander as he watches Martin stare at the small pill.
“Okay…just make sure to make room for my blade to pass through those cuffs and not your hands.” said Martin as he then brought out his dagger and puts the pill on his mouth.
In that response, everyone pushed their arms apart.
*Gulp*
With a slight hesitation to the process, Martin Swallowed the pill and as quick as it was to pass into his throat, a sudden surge of power was erupting from martin’s body. An uncontrollable amount of magic was wasting away into the air.
“”!!??”” everyone was shocked as they witnessed the overflowing scene of the effects of the magic pill.
“Martin! Now!” shouted Alexander.
“G-HgahhH!!” Shouted Martin as he could barely focus himself against all the pain.
But he quickly caught himself back into a state of focus and as quick as Martin could in acting his role, one by one, the cuffs were cut off from the hands of the Imperial Dragons.
But as each second passes, blood was starting to drip down his eyes and mouth as an immeasurable pain was surging within him.
“The Cuffs, we’re free!” said Orion.
Finally after the fifth cuff was cut off from Rocky’s arm, Martin fell to the floor with blood dripping from his nose.
“…Cough*Cough*…it awful…” said Martin as he coughs up blood.
“Yeah…it’ll do that to you in your first try. I’m sorry Martin. It had to be done.” said Alexander as he tries to help Martin up from the floor.
“D-don’t be…it helped in freeing you guys.” said Martin as he slowly got up from the floor.
“Thank you, Martin.” said Alexander.
“With our hands free, we should then move out and escape from this prison. Two people should bring Martin and Genevieve away from here to find a Doctor or anything that might help recover their energy. while the rest of us will have to cause a distraction to give the injured time to escape.” said Alexander.
“Okay, Old Man Rocky and Tofan should be the ones to carry Genevieve and Martin Out, the rest of us will act as decoys.” said Orion.
“Okay, lets do this.” said Bedever.
And as quick as they can, Tofan picked up Genevieve, while Rocky supported Martin in standing up.
And as hasteful as they can be, they made their way out.
***Khali’s POV***
To think that that man was able to pierce a wall reinforced by a demons magic this thick.
He thought as he looked at the end of what was the other tower. The tower where the princess was stored in.
“Do you think you can pierce through it? We’ve done everything we can but none of our attacks did anything to the wall.” said Louis.
“…Simply strength isn’t enough to break a barrier of this calibre. What you need is pure magic from a master like me.” said Khali so confidently.
And with that, Khali brought out two magic circles on his palm and with it, he palm-striked the wall in front of him and with it, it caused an explosion so big that it shook the tower.
*Boom!*
But as the covers of dust cleared after that attack, Khali was shocked to find that the wall was barely damaged by his skill.
“This…this is a tough wall.”
“Well what now?” asked Louis.
“I’ll try a different attack…this time, you two will help.” said Khali.
And with it, he brought out two magic circles in his hand an positioned himself to attack the wall again…but this time, he added two more magic circles placed directly at the wall. Both spells that were placed in front of Louis and Shirley.
“Okay…altogether now.” said Khali.
And as the attack was made, the wall finally crumbled and Khali was happy to see that he can finally retrieve the princess.
“..!?” but to his shock, not a single person was in the tower.
“What? Why isn’t she here?” asked Louis.
“…She isn’t here Master Khali. The Princess isn’t here.” said Shirley.
“…Where could she be?”
