Danmachi: Captured by Freya at the Beginning!

Chapter 95: Black Mud + Xenos = ?

Chapter 95: Black Mud + Xenos = ?

There were quite a few Xenos locked up here, of all different types.

There were humanoid Goblins and Kobolds, as well as beast-like Needle Rabbits, Silverbacks, Battle Boars, and more.

Their gazes were all fixed on Sarah and Ethan.

"That's not necessarily the case. A single failure isn't what I want. Maybe I'll just choose the next 'lucky one'!"

Ethan said with a smile, but his words sparked anger among the Xenos.

'Roar——'

'Snarl——'

'Grrr——'

'Bang——'

Some of the Xenos roared at Ethan, while others pounded on their iron cages with their claws.

Clearly, his words had crossed a line.

However, Ethan simply ignored the Xenos' anger.

He wasn't the 'yasashii' protagonist Bell Cranel, and he didn't have that much kindness to spare.

To Ethan, these rational monsters in front of him were no different from any other monsters.

After killing them, he could also obtain magic stones.

So, whether they had intelligence or not didn't matter.

He didn't hate them, but that didn't mean that he had to take care of them.

He wouldn't go out of his way to help them.

After all, there were too many pitiful people in this world.

The reason he proposed this deal to Sarah, the Lamia-type Xenos, was because of a conjecture and curiosity in his heart.

Previously, when the magic stones of monsters came into contact with the black mud, they would immediately collapse, like two incompatible systems installed on the same hardware, causing the computer to crash.

However, these Xenos were different from ordinary monsters.

So, Ethan was curious if there would be any difference with them.

Would they self-destruct upon contact with the black mud like other monsters, or would something interesting happen?

This point made Ethan very curious.

Staring at him, Sarah was certain that this human in front of her, even though he had no malice toward her or the Xenos, was still a different existence from them.

Having no malice didn't mean he had good intentions!

At this moment, Sarah somewhat understood the complexity of human nature.

"So, do you want to gamble? Bet on whether you can survive. If you succeed, you can save all your companions."

His words in Sarah's ears were like the whispers of a demon, making her hesitate.

Haruhime watched all this from the side, looking at Ethan with a strange expression.

Ethan-sama, whom she had always regarded as a 'hero', actually had such a 'wicked' side.

However, this didn't make him lose points in Haruhime's heart.

On the contrary, it made him appear more humane.

He wasn't a good person, but at least he had saved her from despair and was her 'hero'.

However, he treated others completely differently.
