The beast tamer exiled from the hero’s party and the cat eared girl from the strongest race meet

Chapter 256 Execution begins

(TL:By Rafael,valhallatls.blogspot.com)

The situation on the scene became chaotic.

Knights were bustling around, engaging in various exchanges.

What has started here?

I have a bad feeling...

For now, everyone watched as the knights entered the tent where they probably had everyone captive.

After a while...

"Ugh! Let go of me, let go!"

The figure of Kanade, escorted by a knight, appeared.

Her hands were tied behind her, and she had an iron ball attached to her ankles.

Under normal circumstances, this wouldn't be a problem for Kanade, but...

Magic restraints were placed on her neck and wrists, sealing her power.

She looked incredibly burdened and in pain.

"To do something like this to me... I've memorized all your faces. Remember that later!"

Tania also showed up.

Like Kanade, she had her freedom taken away by magic restraints.

Even with her power sealed, her presence was undiminished.

The knights who were glared at seemed intimidated.

"What is the meaning of this now? Bringing us here like this, what do you intend to do?"

"Sora and Luna will never yield to you."

Luna and Sora were also visible.

The magic restraints on their bodies looked substantial and painful.

To do such a thing to the two of them...

Just watching made anger well up.

"Ah... everyone. I'm glad... you're safe."

"Yeah. It's not the best situation, but I'm glad nonetheless."

Finally, Nina and Tina, who were locked in a birdcage, appeared.

Nina had a magic restraint around her neck, reminiscent of when they first met.

The birdcage seemed to serve the same purpose as the magic restraints, and Tina appeared uncomfortable.

"Everyone..."

Hiding in the shadows and observing their condition, I felt like all the strength left my body.

They seemed tired and had likely endured a lot.

But they were safe.

There didn't appear to be any injuries.

I was relieved.

Truly relieved.

I let out a sigh of relief...

"Alright..."

I steeled myself.

I haven't fully saved them yet.

The real battle begins now.

I must not make any mistakes on the path ahead!

"Come over here."

A knight led them, and they were taken to the central square of the ruins.

During the exam, this place had been the briefing area.

At some point, four pillars had been erected there.

They were arranged at about 10 meters apart, forming a square.

The pillars were about 50 centimeters thick and 5 meters high, give or take.

In the center, an iron pillar could be seen.

The knights led everyone inside the pillars and used chains to bind them to the iron pillar.

One chain, two chains, three chains... each person was secured with five chains.

What are they planning to do?

What about those four pillars...?

My bad feeling was growing rapidly.

What should I do?

Should I observe a little longer?

Or should I charge in?

I'm prepared.

I can go anytime, but...

Timing is crucial.

I am approximately 50 meters away from where I'm hiding, and where everyone is being held captive.

Even if I give it my all and use a boost to sprint, it will still take a few seconds.

No, it will take a bit longer because it takes time to accelerate.

If a sword is swung during that time, it will be all over. The way things are now, everyone can't protect themselves.

If I'm going to do something, it has to be after the knights move away from everyone.

Until then, I have to endure. I must endure...

With a sense of frustration, I clenched my self-control and watched how things would unfold.

Then...

The knights moved away from everyone and stepped outside the four pillars.

"It seems like you're ready," a composed male voice echoed.

It's Arios.

He had a satisfied smile on his face as he looked at everyone, unable to move.

Then, he casually glanced around and said, "Can you hear me, Rain?"

He was calling out to me.

"You're a cunning one. You're probably already lurking nearby, aren't you?"

It didn't sound like a random guess. Arios seemed somewhat certain in his tone. He probably believed I had infiltrated this ruin.

It would have been nice if he had underestimated the situation, but it seems it won't be that easy.

"Rain, don't compound your sins any further. It's unbearable to watch you fall, especially for someone who used to be in a party with you. Come out obediently and release the princess. If you do that, I'll guarantee your life, and I won't harm your companions."

Mentioning my companions momentarily shook my feelings. If giving myself up would ensure everyone's safety...

No, wait a minute.

The other party is Arios.

I can't believe he'd genuinely keep his promise. If I came out obediently, everything would be over.

"...It's sad. Are you going to ignore me?"

Arios lamented in a theatrical tone.

What is he plotting? What on earth...

"If you're not going to come out in the open... I'll make you atone for your sins by using your companions as a substitute!"

"What!?"

"Do it."

Arios gave an order to one of the knights.

The knight approached one of the four pillars and touched it.

With a click, a sound like a switch being pressed...

And then, the pillar started discharging electricity.

This is bad!

Alarm bells were ringing in my head.

Everyone is in danger if it continues like this.

At that moment, I couldn't think about the consequences.

"Boost!"

I cast a spell and...

I darted out at full speed!

TL Note- Rain will get a buff from where he least aspects.
