BXBX NOVEL Chapter 231 [Bonus chapter] Underground Prison
Inside one of the prison cells of the underground prison,
‘Did I get fooled by that girl?’
Sitting in the prison cell, Leo silently thought about Aurora.
After getting his battle prowess sealed, Leo was thrown into this prison by the Starlight Tree Spirit.
Before it left, the tree spirit said, “According to Aurora, you can free everyone just by staying inside the prison.”
It also said, “Don’t bother escaping from the prison because the moment you walk out of this underground prison, my master’s husband will know it.”
‘No…the system generated a mission to save them, and it even gave a rating of ‘Piece of cake’ for the mission.’
Leo shook his head and changed his thinking, ‘Did she see something with her [Prophecy]?’
‘Who could free the slaves in the human territory by sitting inside a prison?’
Leo thought about it and how he could do something like that.
‘Wait a second…there is a possibility that her [Prophecy] might be wrong.’
No matter how powerful the talent [Prophecy] sounded, it could not see everything, and even if someone saw, it was not guaranteed that it might happen.
‘At least I should not have given any orders to Sutin.’-.
When Leo things were going smoothly in the Starlight Ancestral Hall, Leo contacted Sutin using his [Telepathy]. He informed that there was no need for Sutin to rush into the Human Territory as he would be taking his time freely with the people slowly as they entered the Ancestral Hall.
‘Nevertheless, he might sense something is wrong and barge into the territory.’
Leo silently thought and continued, ‘Nevertheless, I should try something as it might take quite some time for him to notice something is not right.’
He already knew the Terra Minotaur Tyrant’s intelligence, so Leo decided to try something on his own for now.
‘First, I should free them.’
Leo saw two prison guards when he was thrown into this prison. Therefore, he decided to free them first and use them.
“Is there anyone out there?”
Soon, Leo made some noises to attract the two prison guards who walked in with their emotionless eyes.
“Keep quiet until the higher up comes here to interrogate you.”
“Sure.”
Leo was waiting for the prison guard to come, and the moment he came, Leo extended his hands through the prison bars and swallowed the slave seal.
Without much surprise, the two guards became grateful to Leo and said they would free him.
“Let’s not do it.”
However, Leo stopped them.
Even though he doubted Aurora [Prophecy] earlier, for some reason, he felt it might be possible to complete his mission through the prison.
Moreover, his battle prowess was currently sealed, and there was no way he could escape from human territory under the watchful eyes of the middle-aged man who placed a seal on him.
Therefore, he decided to stay inside the prison and plan his next move.
“You said something about the interrogation. How many will come, and what is their strength?”
Leo asked about the interrogation, and the guards explained, making Leo gain a rough understanding of how the prison in this territory works.
‘I think they want to discover my origins before turning me into a slave.’
He had already heard the exchange between the middle-aged couple when he got captured and knew what they were planning for him.
‘However, currently, the Slave Marker is not in this territory. So, I don’t have to worry about him and slowly free everyone and leave this world.’
There is less than a week for Leo to leave this world. Hence, he wanted to free everyone before leaving.
“Is there anyone else in this underground prison besides me?”
“Yes, Sir. There are a few rank 9 water spiders and Zephyr eagles.”
The guards replied with a respectful look on their faces.
“Okay. For now, you can go back to your duties. Let me know when the higher-ups come. Also, don’t forget to act like you are still enslaved.”
Leo gave a few orders to the two guards before sending them away.
‘Looks like even though they were enslaved, they are really planning to conquer this world.’
From the hall keepers, Leo learned about the plans of the Slave Marker, and it was to conquer the Beastnet by turning everyone into slaves.
‘I still don’t get it. Why would he want to turn everyone into slaves? Is it because he is afraid of betrayal?’
As long as the Slave Marker turned the world’s leaders into slaves, he could still control the world.
‘Moreover, there is no need to use soul-suppressing slave seal on everyone; instead, the regular seal would have been sufficient.’
‘Even though the effects of the ‘Soul-Suppressing Slave Seal’ of this world were different from the effects of the same slave seal in his world, it would still affect the growth of the slave, right?’
Leo’s head got heated thinking about the methods that the Slave Marker used to conquer the world, and in the end, he decided to stop thinking about him.
‘Anyway, it’s time to heal my soul injuries.’
After coming out of his thoughts, Leo decided to heal his injuries.
That’s right!
Earlier, he found a way to heal his soul injuries; however, the moment he found that way, he got caught by the middle-aged couple with the help of the Starlight Spirit Tree.
‘Moonlight Unicorn, it is finally your turn to become free.’
With a thought, a Beast Storage Device appeared in his hands which came out of the storage ring.
Without wasting any time, he summoned the Moonlight Unicorn that he bought in the auction house of the Phire City.
‘Swallow’
There was a level 7 soul-suppressing slave seal on the Moonlight Unicorn and since his [Seal Swallowing Ability] is already at level 7, he decided to free the Moonlight Unicorn.
The Moonlight Unicorn is known as an all-rounder beast because he could attack, defend, heal and even become a flying mount.
Moreover, Leo had already checked that its healing-type skill could heal physical and soul injuries.
Therefore, he decided to free the Moonlight Unicorn before asking it to heal his soul injuries.
‘With my completely healed soul, I can upgrade the [Seal Swallowing Abilty] to level 8 and free the supreme-ranked heroes in this territory.’
Until now, Leo only freed a couple of hundreds of rank 7 and 8 heroes in the Ancestral Hall; however, with the upgrade in his ability, he could not only free the rank 9 but even the supreme-ranked heroes of this territory.
‘As for my seal, I will let it remain for now. However, with this level 8 strength-suppressing seal, I can make them stop being wary of me. That’s when I swallow their seals and free them.’
When he thought about it, Leo felt this mission no longer seemed any harder; instead, it would be one of his easiest missions.
‘Ding,
The level 7 soul-suppressing slave seal from the Moonlight Unicorn’s body is removed.
Soon, a system notification rang in his head, making Leo nod in satisfaction.
“Moonlight, heal my soul….”
‘Swiish’
Before Leo could finish his words, the Moonlight Unicorn’s entire body started shining with a bright light.
‘Is it evolving?’
