Two days… Two days passed after Lennon left and subjugating an entire goblin settlent. Over the course of those two days, all I did was train the mobs and the defenders, create so more diocre weapons – armor is still far from my grasp – and try to comfort the traumatized won.
Newsflash, comforting the won is still not working. All they're giving are those dead, empty glares that can pierce through your thick skin. The dragonewt – I'm calling her dragonewt for now until she can clarify what race she is – was still sleeping like a log.
Seeing her sleeping made want to punt a goblin into the air and land into an active volcano, while watching it scream to death as it burns in lava while I eat popcorn.
"Report," I asked Domino, who was busy laying on my back while eating so sugary sweets I got for her in the Market. Good thing a month's supply of sweets only cost 15 DP. I wonder why it was so cheap though? Then again, this world is sowhere along the lines of dieval fantasy and futuristic sci-fi combined together to form one hell of a ssy world…
"Mu…" Domino nodded as she accessed the Dungeon nu and sent the information. My Dungeon nu popped up right in front of , showing the DP I gained over the last two days.

Yeah, I'm steadily increasing my DP inco. Also, it turns out that the lizard woman was indeed a dragonewt. She also gives a bunch of daily DP, so it seems that not killing them off for DP was the best outco. Plus, once they recover, they can help with my Dungeon either by training the mobs and defenders, or helping Domino and manage the Dungeon.
The latter option, though, I was not keen on doing since, unless they are completely loyal, there was a chance that they would betray , and I don't like being betrayed.
"… Papa…" Domino tugged on my head with her tiny hands. I locked my gaze on Domino's face, her expressionless face coming up within my view. "Humans at entrance…"
I tensed up.
"Humans? Can you tell what they're wearing?"
"Elves, twins… Injured…"
My eyes opened wide. I was afraid of this coming up, but I've been putting it off for too long. Should I help them? Or should I leave them to their fate…
I look at the shack behind , the broken human and demi-humans staying within the walls like broken dolls.
'Maybe…' A plan made; I quickly made a passageway that led directly to the entrance. "Domino, alert the mobs and defenders. Tell them we might have company."
Domino nodded and hopped down my body. Equipping my 'Armor of the Primates', I swiftly ran through the new passageway with haste.
I did not stop, since their lives rested on my shoulders.

~ Third Person POV ~
"Co on… Co on…" Mariona carried rethyl on her back as she ran from the enemies. An arrow landing on the tree trunk next to her caused her to gulp for a second before continuing on dashing through the woods. "Almost there…"
Her breathing ran ragged as her sister's head slumped down on her shoulders, her breathing faint.
'No, no, no… We're almost there… Just hang on for a bit longer…' Mariona grit her teeth as she stumbled on a root, both her and her sister crashing to the ground. 'No… Sis…'
Mariona reached her hand out, but an arrow lodged itself into her back, barely missing her vital organs. She gasped out in pain, the corners of her vision darkening.
"Sis…" She let out a weak whimper as she crawled towards the downed form of her twin sister. Various wounds decorated her sister's body, blood staining the ground red with their essence.
She was bleeding out.
Mariona let out a few tears as she desperately reached towards the figure of her sister. mories played out as she crawled. The ti they were cast out of their village. The ti where they were ostracized in the orphanage. The ti when they only relied on themselves. The ti when the orphanage burned down and everybody else blad them as the cause.
Getting kicked out of the town and living out their lives in monster infested territory in their teens…
'No… I won't let you die…!' Suddenly gaining vigor, Mariona crawled faster, intent on reaching her sister to protect her from the incoming waves of enemy soldiers.
And then pain…
Mariona scread, even as she lost air. Rising from her unconsciousness, rethyl saw the mont her sister lost her leg. Her eyes dilated, rage and despair coursing through her veins.
"Damn it, girl, you really had to run didn't you," The human soldier sneered as he grabbed the limb he chopped off and tossed it towards rethyl, all the while having a dented grin on his face. "That's what you get for running, filthy demi-human."
The rest of the soldiers caught up with the man, their numbers increasing from 1 to a dozen or more.
"Sir, how about a little play before killing them like the low-lives they are?" A soldier from behind piped up from his spot, a baleful smirk adorning his face as he looked down on the twin elves.
"Not a bad idea, lad," their captain agreed with a malicious grin. "You heard 'im boys! Ti to have so fun!"
The soldiers cheered and began approaching the two suffering elves.
'Is this it…? Is this where we die…?' rethyl choked a sob as she desperately tried to reach for her screaming sister. She held her hand out, only for it to be snatched by another soldier with a crazed grin on his face.
"Now now, filthy elf," the soldier laughed as he ripped her clothes to shreds. "You'll be having the honor of having been raped by yours truly, keke haha!"
"… Fuck… You…" rethyl gasped out, her eyes defying the crazed grin on the soldier's face with all of her being.
"… What did you say…?" The soldier, however, was not impressed. His grin turned into a frown, then into a snarl. "You, bitch. So that's how you're playing, eh…? Well then, enjoy, demi-human cunt!"
The soldier reached for his sword and positioned it above her legs, his grin coming back with full force. He raised it up and laughed dentedly. He brought the sword down and rethly braced herself for the pain.
Only, it did not co.
Opening her eyes, she saw a sight which she would've never thought would co true.
Jionni was here, protecting her, and he was enraged.
