I will Save this Doomed Plot

Chapter 57: Help(3)

"Raphael."

Growls

A humongous lion with a pair of hawk wings suddenly came forth at Ruth's call. Ruth's unique half hawk-half lion-tamed beast that piques the interest of the neighboring kingdoms, Raphael.

Raphael then stopped at Ruth's side and Ruth calmly caressed his mane. Ruth then looked at his people with cold and sharp eyes, which made his people gulp in nervousness. Ruth then slowly spoke emotionlessly.

"What are you all standing for? Why aren't you fighting? Are you waiting for the monsters to eat you? Is that it? I might as well feed you to Raphael if that's the case."

At those words, the people and the tamed beasts immediately panicked and shook their heads at Ruth nervously.

"O-of course not! We shall fight!"

"R-right! Fight off those evil and hideous monsters!"

"Destroy them!"

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

The Gron people immediately charged towards the monsters but still left a bit of space for Luke. It looked like he did not care if they joined in or not at all. He just kept killing monsters emotionlessly, exactly like their king, and the fact that they all acted the same terrified them.

At this terrifying thought, the Gron people regained their senses and began to scream while ripping the monsters apart. The children saw this with an expression of disbelief.

"Wow, they are so strong."

"I couldn't sense mana in their movements. They were just fighting with their own bodies."

"Did you hear the king's voice earlier? It's so cold and loud that it brings shivers down my spine. And also, what kind of beast is the one that's beside the king?"

"Won't their bodies be sore after this? And I think that is a hybrid? It's the first time I've seen one in person."

The kids kept glancing at the Gron people with their tamed beasts while stabbing the monsters with their mana arrows. They then slightly stopped when they saw a red-haired man running towards them. Lily immediately supported the man because he was injured and looked like he was in pain while running.

"Sir? Are you okay?"

Lily then slowly guided the man behind his siblings for protection. Lily then took out a potion that Luke gave to her before they came here. She then offered it to the panting red-haired man.

"Sir, please drink this."

The man looked at Lily in disbelief. He couldn't believe it. He was a complete stranger, but this kid was eager to assist him, just as the silver-haired man was. But since he had no time to think of others' wellbeing, he slowly grabbed the potion in Lily's hands and drank it all in one gulp. His injuries then all disappeared shortly after he drank the whole bottle. He sighed in relief because he wouldn't endure the pain anymore. He then looked at the small dome surrounding and protecting him.

"Please rest for a bit. You seemed tired."

Bell looked blankly at the kid in front of him. She was right. He was indeed tired. He never slept inside the iron cage because he wouldn't know what the Gron people would do to him if he were sleeping defenselessly. He then slowly nodded and closed his eyes. For some weird reason, he felt relieved and safe.

Lily looked at Bell's sleeping face with a sweet smile. She then turned her head when she heard her siblings shouting someone's name.

"Brother Liam!"
