Gadrel hit many guards while freeing the slaves, Gadrel tried not to show himself as his bad reputation could play against him.
But as people who longed for freedom, when they saw someone powerful on their part, they did not hesitate to take up arms to get out of there.
Gadrel knew where Sorano was, so he soon got there.
"Sorano, we're leaving here, wake up that guy and let's get out of here." Gadrel spoke a moment before hitting the guards again.
"Finally, I told you that Gabriel would get us out of here." Sorano talked to the gloomy-looking boy who seemed not to have slept in a long time.
Gadrel soon released everyone at that level , forming a small army to increase the chances.
Gadrel knew that it will not be easy there, but his expectations were quite high, but Gadrel's hopes almost broke when he feels someone with an immense amount of magic.
If Gadrel's face was not covered in bandages, Sorano could have seen Gadrel's scary face, to the point of the idea of taking Sorano and escaping alone passed through Gadrel's head.
Gadrel bit his tongue so that the pain brought him flying
(Calm down, you still have a trump card) Gadrel could only convince himself not to fall into despair, but all fear could not disappear, so Gadrel walked towards Sorano while giving him his most valuable possession.
"Can you save this for me ? "Said Gadrel, when he put his necklace in Sorano's hand.
This action confused Sorano a bit, especially when he saw Gadrel walk away.
"Wait, you said we wouldn't go together, please don't go," Sorano said as he grabbed Gadrel's arm.
Gadrel wanted to tell him not to worry, but the fear inside him didn't allow it, so he could only say a few words.
"While you take care of that necklace I swear I'll come back, so take care of it, okay ? "(Gadrel)
Sorano saw the worry in Gadrel's eyes, so he only attended with his head as he watched Gadrel leave.
............…
Gadrel had not yet created any spell, so he could only combine his magic with his body to increase his speed and strength, but his efficiency was terrible, so if Gadrel wanted to win against the unknown adversary , he will have to take care of his magic.
Several guards fell where Gadrel advanced, without using magic, Gadrel's blows were fast and heavy, making way through the entire battle.
But before going against the unknown enemy, Gadrel wanted to verify Erza's situation, but nothing that happened was going well.
"Where is Jellal!"
Gadrel found Erza fighting humanoid monsters, but Gadrel noticed that Erza's amount of magic had increased sharply.
But that wasn't a question for now, so Gadrel didn't hesitate to help her.
Erza's strength had a great momentum, so when Gadrel arrived between them, it was quite easy.
"Gabriel, you have to help me save Jellal, he was captured," Erza shouted in despair.
Gadrel caught Jellal's scent, and although it was weird that he could catch her scent, Gadrel couldn't help Erza at the moment.
" I'm sorry, but I have to take care of another person, in this tower there is someone with a lot of colossal magic, and if I don't defeat him then we could be imprisoned again " ( Gadrel)
Doubts filled Erza's head , since a part of her wanted to rescue Jellal, but if there is another enemy, then helping Gadrel was the right thing to do. But a blow came to Erza's head.
"Go for your friend, I have it under control" Gadrel turned his back on Erza as he walked.
Erza admired how Gadrel remained so calm, while transmitting a security aura, so the red head could make a decision.
"Wait, you are my friend too" Erza spoke while raising his fist, "And you better come back alive."
"You really make me blush, if you continue like this you will make me fall in love with you, and I hope you can hold me accountable," Gadrel said jokingly.
Erza 's face was as red as her hair, but she recovered when she felt her fist was shocked.
" I'll be fine, and this goes for both of us, don't blame me if I break Sho's face if something happens to you for his stupidity," Gadrel said as he walked away.
But this only produced a laugh in Erza.
"I hope not, he is a good boy, I am sure they could become very good friends in the future" with those last words Erza also went to his destination.
...............… ..
Gadrel reached the top of the tower, and after opening the last door, someone was already waiting for him.
"Welcome brat, when they informed me of you , they told me that you had talent, but in person I can say that you are someone much more special , I never thought to feel Damon's magic again in this life, this day is more interesting than I thought "Said an old man with white hair, with a long beard, and a distinctive patch in his eye.
Gadrel could feel how he was pressured by the immense magic that old man had, but he puts this aside when he hear the name of his master.
"It seems that you know my master, and since it seems that you came to speak, I think it would be a good topic to break the tension," said Gadrel while resisting the pressure.
"A somewhat boring reaction, I thought Damon's disciple would be as stupid as he was, and he would start a fight right away, but I think your reaction is correct, since you know it's impossible for you to do something to me, so I wouldn't mind tell you some things "
Gadrel's main plan was to delay that elder as much time for others to escape, and beating him was completely the last thing on Gadrel's list.
"You think you are very intelligent, but I can know what you plan, and so that our talk is more placid, I can tell you that your little escape will not work, so I invite you to sit so we can talk quietly"
Gadrel's nerves no longer aggravated, and he ran to the entrance, his only thought was to go to help others.
But an invisible force crushed him against the ground.
"And I thought I wanted to talk, I guess I'll have to summarize things, so you can stay where you are."
Gadrel had many things to refute that old man, but breathing was already difficult, so Gadrel could only stay in his place.
"I hated Damon, he was really annoying, but he was a man I respected, but he left this continent in his quest for power, which I admired, unfortunately he couldn't see the whole picture, looking for an impossible mission, and for your look I can say that he is dead, quite unfortunate "
Gadrel could feel that this old man had true respect for his master, but that did not take away the fact that they were now enemies.
"And now we come to an important point, I want to hear if you want to live or die, but in simple words, you can follow me or die at this moment"
The pressure under Gadrel disappeared, giving Gadrel a break.
"First, I want to know what you want to do, dying so fast really isn't something I want, so as long as it's reasonable, then I don't mind helping you," Gadrel said as he stood up, this was an impossible situation, so lying to the old man It seemed to be the best option, as long as Gadrel is still alive, then he could still save others.
"I could, but first let me tell you what you can get, if you follow me, everything is possible, be it power, wealth or maybe ... "
Gadrel's heart clenched, as he could feel what that old man would say.
"I could bring someone you lost back"
That was a point or sensitive for Gadrel, who made his resolution almost broke.
"You can't be talking seriously, that's impossible, you'll have to make your jokes better," Gadrel said as he fought with himself.
"You are still too young to lie to me, I can see through very easily and let me swear that it is possible to revive someone, but if you are not interested, I think our conversion is over "
"...…."
Gadrel would lie if he said he was not tempted, the possibility of bringing Alice to life was enough for Gadrel to sell his soul.
"Wanting something that has been taken from us is not bad, the lord I follow can give you what you want, you just have to worship me as your master, and follow my teachings"
Gadrel's mind began to fall asleep, the darkest desires of his heart began to resurface with great force.
................
Hades sat back while the curse consumed to Gadrel, would be easy to brainwash a child, so Hades was sat as he finished the whole process.
All that was missing was for Ultear to finish his mission, but there seemed to be little left to leave this tower.
" Hades-sama, already control our new puppet, we can start our plan to get the key we are looking for"
A girl with a double ponytail looked from the door that Gadrel entered.
With dark purple hair, a girl with a crystalline complexion, knelt in front of Hades while informing about her mission.
"This trip was really productive, this tower brought me a pleasant surprise, now we just hope that this child falls into his desires, and submits to me before we leave," Hades said as he had a smile on his face.
Ultear didn't care much, but something that caught his attention, was because his master took so much trouble for that mummy-like child, although she could feel that the magic of that child surpassed it, it was not something really surprising, so Ultear turned her gaze to the boy who was writhing in pain on the floor.
............... ..
8 hours passed, and Gadrel had resisted quite well, but his resistance reached its limit, when Hades saw Gadrel's lost gaze.
A smile formed on Hades' face, since it was easy work from now on.
"Ultear, take that child to the aircraft, we're leaving"
Everything was ready, and without delay they reached the top of the tower where the aircraft of Grimore Heart was waiting.
When everyone was there, Hades gave Gadrel another prison, where there were soldiers ready to act when Gadrel tried to rebel.
"First let's see what kind of information this child has"
Hades began using magic to delve into Gadrel's mind, but contrary to his expectations, everything was dark, darker than any other mind.
"RHAAAAAAA"
A large wound formed in Hades' arm when claws attacked him.
"This is new," whispered Hades, looking at Gadrel with interest.
Gadrel's body had a great change, a white substance began to leave his body as he took the form of a demon, Gadrel's golden eyes turned blue, while his sclera went from white to black.
"An interesting specimen, I don't remember reading about you in the old books, but experimenting with you will be very interesting" Hades wasted no time when many chains appeared to seal Gadrel's movements.
Hades was careful , and immediately sealed the magic of Gadrel, but unfortunately for Hades, at this time he was not facing Gadrel.
Hades' pupils cringed when he saw a red light coming out of Gadrel's mouth.
"RHHAHHHHHHHHA"
This he takes with the low guard to Hades, but that attack did not harm Hades, the only problem was that the aircraft was almost split in half.
"Little bastard, you ...." Hades was about to tame Gadrel, when a great chest pain stopped him.
The chains that subjected Gadrel were broken, and Gadrel immediately began attacking everyone on board.
Hades backed away with the help of Ultear, as he watched as a monster with a white mask began to kill all his minions.
At this time Hades only counted on Ultear as his assistant, so he could veto the idea of capturing Gadrel, without first verifying the state of his heart, so Hades clenched his teeth in fury as he turned the aircraft to get from there to Gadrel
It was really hard, and it took many lives, but Gadrel fell from the ship as he stopped to devour the soul of the corpses . .
"Damn, this time it was my loss, but that makes it more fun" with a smile, Hades was waiting for his next meeting with Gadrel.
Hades wanted to chase Gadrel, but the state of the aircraft was critical, so he could abandon that thought for the moment.
