"Sorry, I'm late."
Yila said this, gently embracing the Beastman in front of him who didn't seem to be seriously injured. He looked at the empty, lifeless eyes of the person and said nothing, just continued to hold on.
He held on and on, as if trying to freeze time at that very moment... though in reality, it would only last for about ten minutes.
Or until...
"...Thank you."
The other party engaged in some form of conversation.
Upon hearing this, Yila gently released her, guiding her towards Hilena, then moved on to embrace the next person... embracing those desolate slaves.
He would hold them until they no longer saw themselves as slaves...
The slave trade among different races often involved a higher number of Beastmen, and the most coveted were, of course, the rare Elves, followed by uniquely charming monsters. But due to the Elves' inherent strength and the way monsters lived in groups, they were hard to capture.
