Rescued & Promised
Kent quickly entered the cave, which is considered one of the most notorious spaces in the kingdom. Few knew of its existence, and even fewer spoke of it, for no one was supposed to.
The atrocities that occurred there were too barbaric to recount.
Those sent there never returned. It was a place meant for one purpose: to die screaming. Vogt and Falk were anything but benevolent.
When Kent stepped inside, he saw smaller cells with chains hanging from the walls.
[Master, those chains are enchanted to strip one of their cultivation base when put on. They also inflict mental torture and soul deprivation.]
<How sinister. Thankfully, I beheaded them all.> Kent sighed and kept moving.
A few seconds later, he stopped in front of a cell. Inside, a small human girl sat, her gaze unfocused and dazed.
The moment her eyes landed on Kent, she froze. She tried to stand but couldn't; the potion's effects still left her weak and drowsy.
