Lord Summoner's Freedom Philosophy: Grimoire of Love
Chapter 25 The Search Request (4)The six of them ran, following the purple smoke made by Lyan's magic. Knowing that it follows to the position where Alina and Xena are, the six of them didn't lower their pace as they want to recover the two of them as soon as possible.
"Stop!" (Madam)
Following the Madam's words, all of them stopped their tracks and hid behind the bushes.
"So that's their lair, huh... Is this purple smoke of yours accurate, Lyan?" Madam asked Lyan as she points at the purple smoke entering a cavern.
"If the hair that I used as the medium of the magic is indeed the scout girl's hair, then it should be accurate," (Lyan)
Right after Lyan's words, a goblin holding a spear exits the cavern.
"I see... It seems that you're right. Then how should we proceed?" (Madam)
"Let's try not to alarm the goblins. We should assassinate them one by one from the exit since we didn't know where Lady Alina and Lady Xena are yet," (Gramps)
"True. We didn't know how many goblins resided inside that cavern, after all. It might be bad if we ended up alarming the whole lair and make hundreds of goblins come out of the cavern at the same time," (Raine)
"Then let's go now! Let's kill that one goblin first!" (Madam)
*Stab!*
Abraham suddenly appeared behind the goblin, killing it with a single slash of his knife.
"Heh! You're fast as ever, gramps," (Madam)
"It's better for you to reserve your strength, for now, Madam. Since your strength are not suitable for stealth and assassination, please leave the killing to Raine, Ravia, Mr. Lyan, and me," (Gramps)
Other than Lyan that is wielding the sword he got from the goblins he defeated the other day, Abraham and his granddaughters wield knives and possess high agility that is perfect for assassinations and stealth operations.
"I see. You're right, then I'll leave it to you guys," (Madam)
"You can count on us, Madam!" (Ravia)
"I'll kill all of the goblins before they could even realize they're dead!" (Raine)
The butler uniform-wearing white-haired girl and black-haired girl replied to the Madam with full enthusiasm.
"I'll try my best to give you the best support!" (Belle)
"Just make sure not to push yourself too much, Belle. You've just recovered not long ago, after all," (Madam)
"It's fine, Madam. I'm fully recovered!" (Belle)
"Then let's proceed. Our time is limited," (Abraham)
(Guess there's not much for me to do. But I'll take this decent sword the goblin is holding for extra caution) (Lyan)
Lyan took the sword from the goblin that the Abraham just killed.
With the Madam's and Abraham's wisdom and veteran skills, they lead and give accurate directions to the others. While Belle's support is well-timed and effective, the two grandchildren of Abraham also have high skills just like their grandfather. While their movement hasn't reached the level of Abraham, they could still be considered high-class scouts or assassins. Since Lyan's role is an all-rounder, there are not many things that he needs to do as he stands by at the rearguard.
(I'm in a position to finish off the goblins that went through our ranks and protect the magician girl, but that three knife-wielding grandchildren and grandpa combo didn't even let a single of them pass. I guess this is how it feels to be at a high-leveled party, huh...) (Lyan)
They proceed to the cavern smoothly. After finishing off about three groups of goblins, they found a passage leading to the underground of the cavern.
"A secret passage... To think there is such a thing inside this cavern..." (Belle)
"Yeah. But since the purple smoke entered this passage, then Alina and Xena must be inside as well. Belle!" (Madam)
It's a decent tactic. Casting [Sleep gas] magic to spread sleeping gas inside the passage and force asleep the goblins that hid to ambush unwanted intruders of their lair. After waiting a minute, they entered the passage and saw dozens of goblins lying on the ground asleep because of the spell after walking deep down the passage.
Slitting their throat one by one, they didn't let even a single goblin live.
"So this is the entrance, huh..." (Ravia)
Across the deep passage lays a huge gate enough for an ogre to walk through it.
"This is a passage big enough for a goblin champion to pass. There's a high possibility that there is at least one goblin champion inside here," (Madam)
"Inside this huge goblin lair, we might be facing hundreds of goblins if the whole lair got alerted. We need to proceed as stealthily as possible," (Abraham)
"Yeah. You've said that multiple times already, gramps..." (Raine)
"I heard you, Raine," (Abraham)
"Hiiieeee!!! Gramps is being scary, sis!" Raine hides behind her sister.
"Goblins usually have a special room where they store the females of other races for breeding. Alina and Xena must be in that room. Let's hope that nothing happened to them yet..." (Madam)
The Madam's face when she utters those words are grim. But her concern is normal. For women who got kidnapped by goblins, being violated by a group of goblins will give a huge trauma to them even if they're saved. It might be something worse than death for them.
"Then we have no time to spare. Let's proceed!" (Abraham)
There are three big concerns in their rescue plan inside this goblin lair. The number of the goblins they might need to face, the goblin champions with their high fighting capabilities, and the possibility of the goblin king residing in this goblin lair.
Because of that three concerns, Abraham and the Madam decided to avoid those risks and proceed as stealthily as possible. But as they proceed inside, they couldn't help but feel perplexed.
"There are no goblins. Even my detection magic didn't sense anything..." (Abraham)
"They might be in the middle of moving their whole forces. If it's so then it's bad, it might be a raid. Let's recover Alina and Xena quickly and notify this to the guild!" (Madam)
Following Madam's words, the six of them rushed towards the breeding room, following the purple smoke summoned by Lyan's magic.
"It's a door!" (Belle)
"It can't be opened! It seems that it's locked from the inside!" Raine reported as she checked the iron door blocking their way.
"Move it," (Madam)
Gripping her morningstar tightly, the madam takes a stance as she gathers her mana in her hands.
*BOOM!!*
The iron door got destroyed into bits by the Madam's powerful strength.
"Alina! Xena!" The Madam rushed inside the room.
The room looks like a prison. Cells made from iron bars, and lots of human females are inside them.
"Madam? Gramps? Belle?" A familiar voice appeared from the deepest part of the room.
""Alina!!""
They rushed towards Alina quickly. She's being confined in the deepest cell of the room. With her morningstar, the Madam destroyed the cell bars into bits and entered the cell with the others.
"Alina-chan! Are you okay? Are you fine? I'm very glad you're alive..." Belle jumped and hugs Alina with tears falling profusely from her eyes.
"Xena is... Xena is..." Just like Belle, tears started to fall from Alina as well.
She is definitely not in a good shape. Her body is filled with bruises and wounds, and her eyes are slightly swollen. But she's still using her clothes.
(It means that she didn't get violated yet by the goblins, huh. That's a relief) (Lyan)
"Please help Xena... Because of me... Because she shielded me... She became the target of those devils..." (Alina)
"Where's Xena, Alina?" (Madam)
"There... She's inside that cell... Please help her..." Alina pointed at the cell in front of hers.
The Madam quickly destroyed the cells, and a figure of a girl lying unconscious appeared before them.
"X-Xena..." (Madam)
Her legs are spread widely, and yellowish-white fluids are flowing from her crotch. Her body is filled with bruises and wounds far worse than Alina's. It's easy to guess what just happened to her.
"Ma...dam...?" (Xena)
"Xena!! Gramps! The potion!" (Madam)
"Here, Madam," (Abraham)
The madam took a vial filled with blue liquids and gently let Xena drink it. Slowly, the wounds that are open got closed by themselves, and her eyes slowly regain their light.
"Madam..." (Xena)
"You don't need to say anything. Preserve your strength. we're bringing you home," The Madam was about to lift her up, but Xena suddenly grabbed the Madam's hand with her eyes widely opened.
"Run..." (Xena)
"Of course. We'll bring you and run, now let me lift you obediently," (Madam)
Hearing Xena's words, Abraham and Lyan stared at each other. Belle, Raina, Ravia, and the Madam got too emotional and too absorbed in Alina's and Xena's condition, making their judgment gets clouded.
(The semen of those goblins is still flowing from the scout girl's crotch. She must have gotten violated not that long ago) (Lyan)
(And it's impossible for them to already left in such a brief duration. They must be not far from here or they might be gathering in another room. And if that's true...) (Abraham)
"They must have heard my lady blasting the door off," (Abraham)
"Prepare your weapons! Horde of goblins are coming!" (Lyan)
"Coming? From where!?" Asked the Madam as she ready her morningstar.
"This is bad..." Lyan muttered as he sense the incoming presence.
"They are coming from the direction of where we came from..." (Lyan)
