"We are the 38th enforcers of the Slaverunners! We are here for Mike"
After that, he took out something and threw it towards the camp, it landed on the ground, Mike narrowed his eyes when he saw that it was a metal collar engraved with formations which he could not decipher at first glance, Mike walked over and picked it up and while ignoring the people on horseback he began inspecting the collar
"Put on the collar!"
Mike continued looking at it while tracing the formations while he muttered
"So it has a shock function… While it hampers consciousness with interference signals… This is a slave collar..?"
"I will not repeat myself again, put on the collar!"
Mike spoke out while he continued inspecting the collar
"Leave one alive, kill the rest"
Mike sat down on the ground and fell into deep thought while screams of terror and weapon clashes sounded out in the background, then after a few minutes he concluded
"So… It's an upgrade of the slave brand on all points… Isn't that right?"
Mike looked up and saw one of the people that had been sitting on the horseback before being forced to kneel in front of him by Azroth
"Fuck you, the Slaverunners will grant you a painful death for this!"
"Oh… Thunderbolts and lightning, I am very, very frightened"
Mike then stood up and threw the collar to one of the Horned werewolves
"Store that in one of the wagons, I'll study it later"
"Yes master"
"As for you… Let's see, waterboard him for a few hours to start"
Mike was able to use [Control] on him of course, but he didn't do that to start with, as for the reason it was simple
'These people piss me off, entitled bastards'
Time passed and eventually, the person form the Slaverunners started begging for mercy instead of threatening the people around him, then Mike walked over and stabbed him with the knife before he used [Control] on him and made him spill the details about various things on the continent…
The next morning Mike woke like always around sunrise and sat up before he stretched and looked around the tent before he opened his hand, beckoning the knife that soon landed in his hand before he began spinning it around as he thought about some stuff
'Yeah… Let's do it like that… As much as it pains me to delay finding Julie I need more power, or dakka… depends on how you see it...'
"Have a nice trip~"
Mike then spent noon studying the slave collar which he didn't put down before it was evening and the servants were busy putting up tents, thus another day passed, the days passed like this for a week before Mike was finally able to feel Julie's signal, by that point all his previously laid plans disappeared as something illogical took hold of him
"Azroth, with me"
[Yes master]
Mike could not wait any longer, he summoned his wings and flew up into the air before he sped off into the direction where he could feel Julie…
"How long have we been flying now Azroth?"
[3 days master]
"Hmm…"
Mike circulated his mana even faster before he flapped his wings hard and accelerated once more, he was so close now
"...Azroth, revert to your original form"
Julie woke, she reached out per reflex to find her husband beside her, but alas her hands failed to grasp anything once again today, she got dressed by herself, after she had killed the last maid she had declined her grandfathers offer to assign a new maid to her, after she got dressed she walked out of her room and down to the training courtyard, she didn't know why but she had this strange feeling that something was happening
'Strange…'
Julie shook her head and clapped her cheeks to adjust her mood, soon she arrived at the courtyard and summoned her blade, and began training, she was not allowed by the family to level up to level 8, as her origins could not be verified she was still an outer member of the family, despite what her grandfather said so, he was after all bound by the rules of the family too
"Haa!"
Julie let out a shout as she slashed out and severed the training dummies head, then she cut them to pieces with a speed that was almost faster than what a level 7 could do, then she let out a sigh, and just when she was about to drag over a new set of training dummies a roar sounded out over the city, instantly the city came alive as multiple level 7 people floated up into the air, they all looked up at the dark clouds with stern gazes
"Julie"
Julie looked back and saw an old man in his 60's float down and land next to her, he had a long white beard and kind eyes that hid immense pressure
"What is it, grandfather?"
"You need to take shelter, come with---"
Just then Julie's grandfather looked up as the clouds revealed the long black scaled body of a dragon with vermillion red eyes, Julie just so happened to be looking up at the sky and locked eyes with the dragon and froze, she didn't feel fear, she felt a faint familiarity and by the time she saw the figure descend from the clouds with blood wings tears were already flowing down her cheeks…
Mike looked down, he could see her.
That was all that mattered. She was there
"Julie…"
Mike began descending, ever so slowly, meanwhile, the level 7 people from the Helia family began churning their mana in an effort to try and scare the dragon away, Azroth let out a roar as he began flying in circles over the city while keeping an eye on the 8 level 7 protectors of the Helia family
"Julie…"
Mike suddenly fouled his wings in and fell from the sky, one of the level 7 protectors saw this as a threat and fired a spell after Mike, but before the fireball could reach Mike a tail whip from Azroth wiped out the flame, then another claimed the head of the protector that had fired the spell, then Azroth let out another roar and spoke in a human tongue
"Whoever blocks the path of my master will die!"
The remaining level 7 protectors froze and looked at Mike in horror, whoever could enslave a dragon had to be immensely powerful
"Julie…"
Just before Mike hit the ground he spread out his wings and flapped them once carrying him across the city down the main street before he punched out at the gate of the mansion breaking it down and flying through into the courtyard where she stood, Mike landed on the ground and paused as he watched her for a bit, then he called out once more
"Julie…"
"Mike…"
Mike walked over, he was cautious, almost scared, scared that she would reject him in this moment of reunion, but as he was about to call out once more Julie kicked off the ground and dove into his embrace, she hugged him close, Mike was stunned for a moment before he carefully wrapped his arms around her and hugged her close
"Mike…"
Julie hugged him tight as she called out his name, she didn't want to let go of him again, he had left her for the last time, that she had decided, she raised her face and looked up at him into his eyes, for a tender moment the two of them stood there as if frozen in time, then they kissed, they were in their own world with only the two of them, after all, that was all they needed at that moment, after a bit they parted and Julie asked
"Mike… How?"
Mike showed a rare genuine smile as he spoke
"Didn't I tell you? If you are immortal then so am I?"
"Yes but… Nevermind, that doesn't matter, you're here now"
"Yeah, that I am…"
Mike looked up at the old man that stood a little away and showed a cold smile as he spoke
"I hope you have treated my wife with the respect she deserves, or I'll burn this city to the ground"
The old man swallowed nervously before he showed a slightly shaky smile
