Kingdom Conqueror

Chapter 14: Wolfman

Blondie and I are inside the Marde dungeon. After running away from the barking dogs, we find ourselves in some part of the cave with a prison cell.

"It's a person." I said after seeing a silhouette of a guy inside the cell.

"Are you okay?" Blondie said with a worried face holding the bars of the cell. "Hold on we're going to get you out of here."

The cell had bars and a huge lock filled with chains.

Something feels strange. The torch gave light inside the cell, now I can get a better view of the guy. His hands have braces with chains hanged to the ceiling, his feet also have braces and chains tied to the ground. The guys have black hair and red eyes. I noticed that he has a strange ear that resembles a wolf's. He is not wearing any clothes and is butt naked. Blondie looked away as soon as she noticed.

The chains moved as the guy in the cell seem to have woken up.

"U-ugh~... huh?" The guy turned to look at us. "Look out! Behind you!"

I looked behind me and there is a huge axe just a feet away from my nose.

*tumble*

"Are you okay?" Blondie lying on top of me. She pushed me away to dodge the axe. After that, she stud up and unsheathed her sword, then does her defensive stance.

The guy that almost hit me was a wolf that can stand in its own two feet. It resembles Demob Lord Korsal's kind. It wears a light armor and holds a huge axe. I noticed that there is a ring of keys in its pocket.

The wolf swings his axe sideways. Blondie tried to block it using her sword but it only sent her flying away hitting her back in a wall of rock. Her sword drops on the ground followed by her body aching in pain.

"Run! Now! Save yourself while you still can!" The guy inside the cell yells out.

"You expect me to abandon her? Well f*ck you!"

The wolf growled and smashes his axe downwards at me. I managed to dodge it by stepping back. Blondie is currently trying to get up from the impact she took. Maybe the least I could do to help her is to buy her some time to recover. For now, I'll try to dodge its attacks.

The wolf lifts his axe from the ground and it's about to strike me again. He swings it again sideways trying to hit me. I tried to step back only to be blocked by the wall behind me. Sh*t. Quickly, I charged forward towards the wolf.

"Ugh!" I was sent flying with my shoulder hitting on the wall. Since I wasn't able to dodge, I stepped forward to at least dodge the axe's blade making its handle to hit me. I dropped to the ground unable to move. My body aches from the pain.

The wolf raises his axe again and attempts to smash it downwards at me. I tried to move but my body won't listen.

"Hya!" Blondie does a slant slice from the wolf's back.

The wolf growled in pain and it also caused him to miss me. The axe landed just a foot away from my face.

The wolf let out a roar as it tried to swing its axe towards blondie but blondie delivered another slash upward, sideways, and then finally stabbing the wolf at the chest to deliver the final blow.

The wolf wasn't able to move from blondie's combo. It drops down and lid dead on the ground, making a puddle of blood.

"Phew~ thanks. That was a close one." As I tried to stand up. My body still hurts but I can manage.

"Yeah... ha... ha." Blondie is panting. Trying to catch her breathe.

I took the key from the wolf's pocket and then went back at the cell.
