The Author's POV

Chapter 839

Everything was going smoothly. Going in and out of the cells, Ryan managed to help as many prisoners as possible. Furthermore, with Leopold backing him up from behind, he was able to move rather freely.

Not only that, but the prisoners that he had rescued proved to also be a big help, as they instantly spread chaos within the cave system.

"Did you really have to take all my potions as well?"

Rushing toward another cell, Ryan overheard Leopold's grumble.

If he could, he would've rolled his eyes at him.

"You think I have a choice? I've already used all of mine."

Boom—! Boom—!

The muffled sound of explosions rang everywhere, and just as Ryan opened up another cell to free another prisoner, he was surprised to see a familiar figure.

"You're Emma."

He recognized her in an instant. It wasn't very hard.

There weren't many people out there that were as pretty as her, and furthermore, with her being one of the few people that were close to Ren, he naturally did some research on her.

Currently, she was lying down on the ground with a pale expression. Her lips seemed to be quivering, and her gaze seemed to be fixed on him.

She didn't look to be in the best of conditions, but at least, her mind seemed clear. Judging from her expression, she seemed to have recognized him too.

Bang—!

"Ryan, hurry up!"

It was Leopold's voice that broke him out of his thoughts, and Ryan snapped out of it and got to work.

"Ah, right, sorry!"

Bending over, he looked at the bracelet that was on her ankle and made quick work of it.

Removing it wasn't hard. He already had a general understanding of how the mechanism worked thanks to the hours he had put in before escaping, and he was thus able to remove it rather quickly.

"Here, drink this."

He handed Emma one of his potions, and she quietly took it. Moments after ingesting the potions, Emma's complexion cleared up, and she was soon able to stand up without a problem.

"Thank you."

"Don't worry about it."

Ryan waved his hand at her and looked back at Leopold.

Bang—! Bang—!

He was currently shooting one demon after another as sweat trickled down the side of his face. He was just barely holding on at the moment.

"Do you have any spare weapons?"

Right at that moment, he heard Emma's words, and when he turned his head to look at her, his eyes lit up.

'That's right, she's with us right now!'

Unlike the two of them, Emma was a bonafide ranker. If there was anyone who could fight the demons outside, it'd be her!
