The Adventures of Rose Hood

Chapter 112: Locked Worlds

"Locked?"

"What does that mean?"

This level 400-man, Mark explained.

"Well, at interspace 10, someone can lock off a world that they own."

"But Rose doesn't have level 10."

"Then I don't know, but I can assure you that she's the only one that could have done it."

Celios had an idea.

"Maybe, no that would mean that she met someone she couldn't beat."

"What?"

"I think she used system override."

"What kind of skill is that?"

"As the name suggests, it overrides the system, allowing her to do things she shouldn't be able to."

"So, you think she used that to lock the worlds?"

"Yes."

Thalia slammed the table.

"That would use all of her mana though."

"If she met a commander, then she would consider it a necessary move."

Thalia slumped.

"So, is she dead?"

Mark shook his head.

"No, I think they still intend to utilize her powers. Given what happened to Dareu, they probably sent a commander to each minor world in order to defend it."

"That makes sense. Will they do anything crude to her?"

"I frankly don't know, most people in the faction don't have high morals. They may be especially mad given her direct involvement in the destruction of Dominion. So, either they'll be especially crude or torturous. Maybe both."

"That is worrying. How can we save her?"

"Impossible at this point. She's already an anomaly in being able to even stand against a commander, given her value, they would likely have at least two commanders guarding her."

"Where would they keep her?"

"Headquarters."

Elren sighed.

"Why are we already assuming she'll lose?"

Mark looked at him in response.

"Because she locked the worlds, I may not know much about her, but I know enough to understand that she did it because she expects to lose."

"And if they kill her?"

"Then I will still fight with you. I was looking for a reason to leave the God Slayers for a while now, and she helped me and saved this world. If she dies, I will fight alongside you."

"Thank you."

"I swear by my name I will respect the mercy that was gifted to me by Rose Hood even after her death."

A glow of handcuffs appeared on his wrists then faded leaving us in shock.

Celios spoke first.
