My action was fast and decisive i wasn't sure if i was acting on my own decision or on impulse either way it doesn't matter,as i activated my plasma sword the golden blade appeared as the hot radiance twisted the air...the old man was still shaking the cage with the girl inside not noticing his clear doom about to befall him,the girl in question watched the radiating blade as one fast and precise swing with my arm stopped the old man...

(Clop..Tsssss)

I didn't need to slow time or stop it to finish this old man the only regret i had from this was that i didn't have enough time to actually let him suffer some more even this quick death was already too merciful for this man of pure evil...

With a disgusting sound the head of the old man fall down onto the ground spurting out blood for a second i looked at his expression before he died and noted that his face was fully cramped into a crooked frown.

His main body in the mean time was falling onto its knees as the neck part spurted some more blood like a waterfall finally falling down to its back spurting even more blood...

The girl in the cage looked at the corpse for a second...and then to me...she had a thankful look in her eye nodding towards me not being able to say her gratitude with her own voice.

-The watch in your hand press the button...

The girl in the cage didn't understand what i meant by it,but then she suddenly noticed that she was indeed holding a golden watch and figured what i meant by it pressing the button above...nothing happened.

I closed my eyes for a few moments...was i wrong after all ?

-p...l...as...e.....h....al...p..me

The girl said pitifully while looking at me pleadingly i could see that she was really tired and wounded a lot even talking seemed to hurt her a lot which was miserable to watch...

I started thinking again and wondered why was i here in the first place ? It was to find her and bring her back to her father the real savior here she didn't have anything to do with me and the only job i had was to get her but now that the watch wasn't reacting what do i do ? The murder that i had committed here and now was unneccessary and purely made out of bad judgment and impulse i can't get my emotions get the better of me...but at the same time...I looked at the little girl once again...she was hurt starved and tired the iron bowl that was next to her reeked of some unknown stinking substance that she probably ate herself to keep alive her body was full of scars some parts were even disfigured the most notable thing to notice was the she had 2 major disabilities which were her eye and throat...she was able to survive for this long holding onto dear life she was truly strong...

I stepped forward towards the cage crouched meeting face to face with the little girl i put off my mask for a moment as i smiled at her gently opening the i put my hand through it and said.

-You wanna come with me ?

Seeing make a gentle expression and holding my hand out the girl teared up as she nodded to me slowly reached her own scared hand to me finally touching i could see her expression ease up a lot as i pulled her out of the cage holding her in a princess carry.

==============================

-President are you alright ? We heard some noise in there is everything okay ?

The guard asked while knocking the door...the girl who was in my embrace tensed up for a bit as she heard the guards who were on the other side of the door...she was scared,scared that her dream would end like this wasn't she ?

-Hey little one you want to see a trick ?

The little girl looked at me a bit confused but then again she stared at my golden eyes which were actually the same as hers,she found herself lost in those pairs of eyes almost shining radiating a pure golden color calming in the way he used his expression.

And as she dreamed off again she noticed that the guards were no longer bothering or knocking no,the sound was no longer present as everything got still...

-Okay the trick should have done it

With that said i started going towards the door again with the girl in my embrace,i had noticed that she was still moving around conscious of the things around us not hindered one bit as she looked towards the door in clear fear and when i finally opened it,it revealed the statue of those 3 guards standing behind the door for a moment the girl was paled to the bone as she saw them wanted to run away but not being able to she wanted to hide somewhere,somewhere safe but she didn't dare as she felt the most comfortable in my embrace then any other up until now and finally when she realized that the guards were still standing sitting ducks actually she looked at them again in confusion...they weren't moving nor talking it was as if they were...

-Frozen,frozen in time you should be familiar with this trick right ?

The girl only now realized what i had done as she looked at me in total disbelieve,she wanted to say something but wasn't able to do so as we passed by they guards.

I didn't forget to silence these 3 before i left cutting their heads off and putting their bodies into the room,i didn't feel bad about the things that i did in my opinions every person in this colloseum could just burn to the ground i would shed a tear for scum to burn into oblivion.

While i was doing that i didn't place the girl on the ground and did it while holding her with one hand,she was really light and her body was almost skeletal showing that she was starved and weak while i was disposing of them i asked the girl to close her eye for a moment so she wouldn't be exposed to this any further even thought she probably got used to these kinds of acts i didn't want that to continue and maybe it was just my dumb selfish wish but the girl in question obligated without any further words as she closed her eye while i cut their heads.

Finishing with my clean up i started time normally again and contacted hestia...

-young master there is a small uproar in this place it seems like the founder isn't showing up for some reason...do i assume it is your work ?

I felt a proud smile resurface on my mouth for some reason a bit sick but the old man deserved far worse than this as i told her that it was me without any further information.

-hmm very well does that mean we should move now ?

-yes, be careful and don't warrant any unneccessary attention to yourself keep the girls save too...we meet up at the transportation gate from where we came from.

-haahh...when did i ever make trouble for you young master !

I sarcastic smile crept on my face as i said.

-You know what i am talking about no flashy

With that said i cut the connection to her before she could start whining about it,i looked back towards the little girl in my arms she was looking at me very confused maybe because i was making a lot of different expressions like a madman...

-I just talked to a friend of mine...she is very unruly sometimes so i just told her to cut it off don't worry you like her when you meet her she will help you to get better too

As the girl heard me say it like this she nodded to me trusting me 100% without a doubt even thought we had met in a very strange situation,but over all it was pleasant that she trusted me that much and with that thought i stopped time and started pacing up not too fast as to not rattle the girl on my pace,she was already hurt as she was another wound opening mid sprint didn't sound good as i could feel that any small injury could possibly kill her without a doubt making me act as if she was a glass doll which she really was currently...the only hope i had for now was to get hestia and let her heal her...i wasn't even sure if it was possible but its not like i was a person to give up there perks for being stubborn and hopeful at the same time it made you think of ways out instead of self pity which i didn't like.

While i walked like this i also noticed that the guards were getting more numerous the more i was raising the stairs which was quiet odd but didn't bother me just yet...the little girl was also sleepy and would always almost nod off in my embrace making me scared that she wouldn't wake up so i constantly talked to her about the things that had happened lately the people i knew of and about myself in general she listened quiet well and didn't nod off just keeping her eye half closed...

And after 20 or so minutes i finally reached the exit from the colloseum looking outside surveying the area to find the hut that we came from originally where the transportation gate was located which was basically our ticket home...

I found the hut and walked towards it getting inside actually leaving the door open for the others to come and get inside...i had a hunch that hestia's entrance would be indeed quiet flashy.

I sat back towards the wall keeping the girl on my lap...her body was a bit cold so i gave her my jacket before i started time again...

-uhhh

I groaned for a second as i felt my body especially my legs mush into pudding...the burden that had stacked over the course of the day was bad but at least i felt secure right now.

Seeing my pained expression the little girl on my lap looked at me understandingly...she probably also suffered from this kind of burden but i wasn't really clear about her ability yet...sure enough she was like me able to control time but to what degree was that ? I noticed that she had only ever slowed time not ever stopped it or done anything else with that power...she could have even tried to escape if she truly utilized her ability like i did in the prison...

Thinking about it her situation was truly like mine back then...this seemed really overly coincidental the difference here was our age she was only 8 or 9 while i was 15...

-unn..ahh.nnnngg

The little girl on my lap shook me for a bit looking at me a bit worried i could guess what she wanted making me smile wryly.

-Its alright...i am just a bit tired...you are probably tired too i guess don't worry we will soon leave this place just sit and listen..

She didn't understand what i meant by that,but she soon did as the sound of a giant explosion could be heard.

(BOOM)

The girl was surprised and confused as she looked outside towards the window and discovered that flaming debris were flying in the air people were also blasted pushed and forced to ground some even burning up like a candle trying to put it off by rolling on the ground or putting water over their heads but in vain as the water simply vanished into steam from the flame leaving no other choice but to die in a inferno...the flame wasn't so simple if any phoenix flame could be put off like that then these birds obviously wouldn't have such mythical existence to them.

And as i looked towards the window i saw smoke enveloping the whole field as more fire spread everywhere and then a small group of people showed themselves from the smoke the one who was leading the group was a woman with fiery red hair,her expression was cold as ice not fitting her hot temper and burning aura but promising death for anyone who was foolish enough to cross or hinder her path...haa even thought i told her to not be so flashy...

The girl that was sitting on my lap felt very restless as she looked at the burning hot woman that was coming towards us thinking that she might blast us with her flames,but i knew better as i told her.

-Don't worry she is our friend remember the one i told you about...

The girl was obviously baffled but felt reassured once again as she believed in what i said but not quiet convinced in her heart as she snuggled closer to me...

And with that done the door finally opened as the first to come inside was hestia she looked around the room finally meeting me and the little girl that was still on my lap hugging tightly scared of letting go...

Hestia temporarily looked at the girl anger and regret flashing in her eyes but only momentarily as she stepped aside letting the others inside...christina who came in second didn't waste a single second as she started to chant the incarnation for the transportation gate the others coming inside could only wait as they looked at the new companion which was sitting on my lap...the girl wasn't meeting anyones face feeling way too intimidated by them it seemed.

-Should have roasted them more slowly and painfully...

Hestia commented out loud with a bit of disdain mixed into it as she stepped towards me keeping a low gaze to the little girl.

-I know thought the same thing but sometimes death doesn't hold schedule for those who really need it

Hestia and my conversation was short lived and was pretty blunt too making some of the girls which were standing by the make complex face,but deep inside almost all of the girls agreed with those words they just didn't say it out blunt.

-Master dawn the transportation spell is ready...i need the location your hand please... everyone step inside of the circle we will leave now...

I sighed and raised myself for a moment holding the girl in both hands i walked towards christina and gave her my hand thinking about the location i wanted to go which was basically my home the edict.

The rest of the crew also quickly stepped inside of the circle and while we were doing that i could hear the sounds of numerous footsteps coming towards us roaring even telling us to stop promising death if caught...it wasn't fazing or threatening as hestia opened her palm and shot out a giant fireball through the door stopping a lot of the guards burning them.

And with that christina finished the incarnation using my hand to transmit the location...a bright light surged through my vision as i felt my mind slip for a moment...we had been transported and i would surely not like what would come after we arrived...
