*Axel’s POV*
As we walked into the Village, I looked around at the ramshackle huts and the filth covering the whole place. I could hear squeals coming from one of the larger huts. I made my way over without the girls. If my guess of what was in there was correct, then I didn’t want them to see what I was going to do.
Pulling aside the fabric acting as the door to the hut, I saw what I had guessed. The squealing and stench inside was horrendous. Without thinking much, I summoned a fla and set the hut afla before walking away.
"What was in that one, Axel?" Silvara asked with a confused look on her face.
"Goblins." The one-word answer seed to irritate her, but I wasn’t going to tell her anything more. Luckily, Leah spoke up loudly when coming out of one of the other huts.
"Axel, girls, co quick. I need help!"
We all darted as fast as we could to Leah’s side. She was holding open the fabric, allowing us all to see into the hut, which made my face pale. Won in various states of undress were strung up all over the hut. So were clearly pregnant with swollen bellies that undulated unnaturally. Other won were chained to the beds completely naked, covered in a nasty-slling green viscous fluid.
*Blargh* X5
All of my girls except for Leah started vomiting at the sight, with terror written across their faces. I went and rubbed their backs to comfort them as they released their lunch all over the floor. I looked over to Leah before speaking in a solemn tone.
"Leah, my dear, can you please start getting all of them released? Your sisters and I will be there shortly."
"Of course, Axel."
She turned and started getting all of the girls out of their restraints while her sisters were recovering from the revolting scene inside.
"G-go help her Axel, we will be fine."
"Ok, Sil, just call out if you ladies need ."
Nodding their heads to , they concentrated on getting themselves straight.
I went in and started helping the won who were pregnant and the ones strapped to the beds, while Leah had begun with the caged won who seed to be in a better state of mind.
I asked each and every woman if they wanted to be saved. Every one of the won said the sa thing. ’Please kill ...’
Those were the only words they said to , so I waited for Leah to usher the others out before I sent a tiny bit of Soul Fla into all the won left behind and eradicated their life forces. I made sure to kill the seed and spawn still in the won because I didn’t want to leave them alive. It was like I took what the goblins did to these won personally without even knowing the won. It was the principle of the matter in my eyes. They had tortured those poor won for god knows how long.
As I walked out of the hut alone, I lit the hut with fire, just like the other one. My lovers all looked at in confusion, all but Leah, that is, as she and the other won had heard the choice that the other had chosen. I could see gratitude in the eyes of the won that we had saved.
The only things valuable that we found were the armor and weapons of adventurers in the past who had died at the hands of the Goblins. It wasn’t until we had finished clearing the Village that a black and white screen appeared before our eyes.
[Congratulations! You are the first party to beat the hidden Boss and its Village. As compensation, you will all receive the reward of one minor realm advancent to your cultivations. Subsequently, you have saved a total of thirteen won from the clutches of the Goblin Village and The Hobgoblin Chief. As a reward, you will receive a new skill that correlates to your specific cultivation.]
"Oh wow..."
After reading everything in the ssage, I was bathed in a multicolored light that was warm and filled with a soothing feeling. I felt my cultivation advance into the Peak of the Foundation Realm. After my advancent, I felt the knowledge of my new skill implanted in my head. Opening my eyes, I saw a system screen in front of .
[DING]
[The Training Dungeon of World # 003 has gifted the Host with the’ Chaos Finger’ skill. ’Chaos Finger’ imbues the host finger with the mysterious and deadly power of chaos. Using this technique causes the Host to destroy any defense his opponent has erected and puncture their body, imbuing them with small amounts of chaos to destroy their bodies from the inside out.
Note* The ’Choas Finger’ loses effectiveness the stronger the opponent is compared to the Host.]
I whistled slightly, reading the description. My elation over the new skill died quickly as I was beginning to miss Sylph even more than ever right now. I missed hearing her sweet voice.
[Awe, it is so lovely to hear you have missed so much.]
Hearing the voice in my head, I jumped, not in fright but in pure joy. I even called out loud her na.
"SYLHP!"
Hearing my shout, all of my ladies and the won we rescued looked at . I waved them off as I scratched my cheek sheepishly.
[Calm down, Axel. I have sothing to tell you, and it is imperative.]
I cald my emotions enough before giving the internal nod to continue.
[Alrigth hear it goes. Axel, I will be staying with Aunty Ayla for a while. After the last ti I helped you, I had to sacrifice a lot of my power to appease the gods opposing Aunty Ayla and the other billion gods’ rule.]
I felt like I had just heard sothing I wasn’t supposed to hear. My eyes nearly bugged out of my head at the revelation. The only reason she had been gone was because of my weakness and the fact that it seed there were other gods out there that were separate entities opposed to our known pantheon.
"Sylph, I get it. Thank you. I won’t let you sacrifice your power again. Now le-."
[No, you don’t get it, Axel; I am telling you this because I won’t return until I have regained my full strength. I don’t know how long it is supposed to take, but... It will be at least a coup-]
’That’s enough, Sylph. Hello darling, this is Ayla. You live your life and leave the rest of it up to us.’
Before I could respond, I felt the connection break, and then there was just silence. I didn’t snap out of my daze until Mia approached and pressed her curvaceous body against my own while enveloping in a hug. As she held , the others ca over and did the sa.
After a few monts, we backed off each other, and Taylor asked the question everyone wanted answered.
"What happened, my love?"
"It was Sylph, she told where she had been... And where will be for quite a while."

*Bryant’s POV*
We waited for a long ti at the entrance of the Second Floor, waiting for that piece of trash and his won to co down from above. It had already been an hour when I heard Analise grumble.
"Tch, this is bullshit. Why are we still waiting? They obviously aren’t coming down here."
I wanted to smack the bitch and educate her to be obedient and stay quiet when I say so. I didn’t, though, know that if I turned on her too soon, she would call out for her guards to co and save her. I have a feeling that she always has one cloaked near her.
"Just a little longer, Analise; they have to be coming down slowly because they care caring that piece of shit. I bet he even has them doing everything for him without helping, forcing them like slaves instead of the amazing won they truly are."
I watched her roll her eyes before glancing in a specific direction for the 135th ti since we had been waiting here for their group. I knew for sure now that soone in the shadows was keeping her safe.
I clicked my tongue, knowing I must do things even more perfectly now. To be honest, I don’t even know this girl very well. Seeing her innocence, I just thought she was pretty and an easy target. Now that I look at her, though, I am starting to see sothing dangerous.
Thinking to here, I pulled a special pellet out of my pouch before silently attaching it to an arrow and handing it to my archer. He aid and shot the arrow far into the reaches of the Second Floor. I had to give myself a figurative pat on the back for my innovative thinking and foolproof plans.
The bait I just sent out with that arrow should cause a small beast tide on this floor, giving my team and the perfect excuse to disappear along with those won and Analise.
