Chapter 22: Desperate escape

"Aaah!" The little girl fell screaming, Arthur looked at the little girl disappearing among the clouds, Arthur didn't hate the little girl but decided to gamble on the matter and threw her.

If she can fly, she will survive and live her life, or if she dies, at least she will have escaped from this world full of misery and will never suffer the pain again.

Arthur sighed and looked at his surroundings, he threw the little girl, but he can't jump, he doesn't have any wings that would help him fly.

"Do I have to fight them to death while I'm waiting to go up the elevators" Arthur's looks were full of disappointment he thought he would survive and finally be free from this torment, but things didn't go as he expected.

While Arthur was confused, he glimpsed an iron chain lying among the corpses of slaves, he calmly stepped forward and held the chain, looking at it with a blank look, his gaze was directed at the hook at the end of the chain, he had a crazy idea and he intends to apply it.

Arthur took the iron hook off the chain, its shape was strange, it was a straight piece of iron with two twisted and pointed heads at the ends.

Arthur grabbed the hook and looked at it intently before grabbing it and cramming it into his severed hand, when he crammed the straight metal side there was a strange sound of metal colliding with bones

Blood flew everywhere and small pieces of meat fell to the ground, Arthur continued to push the hook in his hand despite the pain he felt.

"Aah!" shouted Arthur while pushing the hook, after a short while he felt that the hook had cracked and was no longer moving, but this was not enough.

Arthur cut a long strip from his clothes and twisted it around his hand and the hook, until the hook no longer budged.

Arthur stood looking at his hand, which had become in a catastrophic state, closed his eyes and directed all his concentration to that hand he was calling and trying to make the white light appear.

After 5 minutes of immobility in that position, white light shone around his body, and his hand began to heal slowly, the light shone for a short time before it disappeared.

This was not enough for his hand to heal completely, but it was enough for some flesh to grow around the hook and relieve the pain.

After Arthur found that everything went as he wanted, he looked in the direction of the guards to find a stranger had appeared and began to slaughter the slaves one by one.

The Knight Pelias made him feel fear because of his strength and cold way of killing slaves.

Arthur ran as fast as he could and got as far away from marigua as possible, Arthur continued to run for more than two hours until he found himself in a barren place and all that was in front of him were red rocks.

Arthur stood up to regain his breath and prepare himself for the crazy idea that he wanted to implement, he had only two options either to survive or die.

Arthur stood by the edge of the redline while his feet were trembling, he was scared and a lot of crazy thoughts began to appear in himself.

'Jump and end your life to get relief from this torture' this idea appeared in his mind from time to time as if it was an obsession of the devil, but he removed it and revised the design look.

With hesitant steps Arthur set foot on a small rock that appears at the edge of the redline, this was the first step down, the strong wind and the fear that seized Arthur's heart made his body tremble and move in a crazy way.

Arthur put the second foot was done with his left hand, after that he put the hand with the hook, Arthur stuck the hook into one of the cracks and when he put some weight on it he felt incredible pain.

But he did not stop and completed the descent, with every step down Arthur was in incredible pain.

....

[ 13 hours later ]

A small seagull flew by the Redline happy with the sunshine and fresh air, every now and then flapping its wings and looking towards its reflection in the clear sea water, opened its mouth and made its annoying sound as a sign of its happiness.

Drop!

A small drop of blood fell and fell over the seagull's head, which made him confused, but after the seagull turned its head and found nothing around, it flapped its wings and took its comfortable position again.

Drop!

Another drop of blood fell on his head, which made his mood sour, The Seagull fluttered its wings and flew into the sky trying to figure out the cause of this nuisance, when he looked up at redline to find a small child descending through it.

After climbing for several hours Arthur lost all his strength and blood began to leak from his body, the skin peeled off from his left hand leaving a bloody red hand.

While Arthur's right hand became in a bad condition, the part where the hook was stuck began to rot, Arthur's looks were blank as if he was unconscious but he continued to descend despite all the pain he experienced.

When Arthur approached the ground and there were only a few tens of meters left in front of him, he lost consciousness and fell, there was no more energy in his body.

The wind manipulated Arthur's hair as he fell.

Sblash!

Arthur fell into the waters of the vast sea, his blank gaze was directed to the reflection of sunlight amidst the waters while red blood dyed the waters around him.

'Is this the end!' Arthur's vision began to disappear little by little as he stared at the reflection of the sun's rays, but before he completely lost consciousness he saw a strange shadow heading towards him.

...…..

On top of a large rock branching from the Redline, Arthur lay on the ground while blood stained his body. his fall was so severe that many scars on his body tore and formed new wounds, due to his poor condition Arthur lost consciousness.

The sound of water!

A strange man came out of the sea and stood on top of the rock on which Arthur is located, the strange man was a huge person about four meters tall, his enormous size and strange orca-like face made anyone who looked at him feel scared.

Step! Step!

The orca-like yujin walked until he reached Arthur's side and brought out a bunch of sky-blue algae.

"What a fighting boy" the Yujin tore Arthur's clothes to show his body full of wounds and scars, Arthur's body was shattered and there is a high probability that he will lose his life.

The yujin took the strange algae and wrapped it around Arthur's body, this algae was called the Moon King algae its great ability to relieve pain and act as a natural antibiotic made it a popular herb among yujins.

The Yujin touched Arthur's forehead and sensed his very high temperature, the Yujin's hand was so big that Arthur's face completely disappeared under it when he wanted to sense his heat.

"If you don't take a real cure, you will die, bear up, boy, you have come a long way so far, you don't die after you got your freedom."

The Yujin turned around and headed for the sea, when its back appeared full of scars, and there was a large burning symbol of the Dragon's foot in the center.

This yujin was a slave to the heavenly Dragons and was subjected to various kinds of torment until Fisher Tiger freed him last night, but he did not return to his homeland and spent the whole night searching for survivors and guiding them to their homes.

During the years that this Yujin lived as a slave he realized that no human being deserves such a miserable life.

The Yujin stood on the edge of the rock and looked at the blue sea while making a strange sound, the Yujin remained standing near the edge of the rock for some time until a giant fish about ten meters long appeared.
