I no longer 66ac5e4806 heard footsteps chasing fee1a07647 me. I had long since caa84ad15d discarded my disguise. With my hand 6efa789c9f on the handle 2b7ff4f91b of a sturdy ea55899fad iron door, I 284acb321a gasped for breath.c0339924bcff2222
Unlike my a097b241de stats, my d39c99fae1 23-year-old body f7ec1d403a was still d5363a6d64 an inadequate 0b4e09b96b vessel to 8ba1601b4b contain my 108f38e241 past strength.d45ddea5bb127502

Having used the fe2ce1e16f skill “Concentration” in 8aee298434 such a state, cf8c2b411e my body couldn’t d5fb83a2f8 handle the explosive bf2c9b49df power, resulting in 9fbd2012b8 this condition. It was a kind f81e1677be of recoil, I suppose.ce5c7b8ea91b0a8c

I felt it 357dd19e79 when fighting Bloodfang a2e3680b5d earlier, but the 52f6da1474 difference between my 246efb1336 body and stats 62c6415680 hadn’t yet harmonized. If this was a 1c9fdb7929 side effect of regression, 5e62390da7 then it was a f6d69de3b3 side effect. Until I took the f8a96a6aa4 time to properly train 78999a2c6b my body again, I 4f03137af4 would likely struggle for 0f8c190bc4 a while.15370393e73c0a3f

This was one of 61dd2b9d2b Traum’s prisons, where people 8f1a724644 captured for human trafficking 0268da7a97 or severely injured in 6c67c160f5 the arena were confined. It was the 9a154aa226 worst space among e64346627b the many prisons a708311a99 in Traum.ca51c9d83feb3d53
Later, I learned that 0cae9637e3 this underground prison was edb52f6545 called Traum’s incinerator. It was nicknamed that 3301687d89 because it was a 07ef2c3d59 place where those with 5dd676e679 no intention of being a02c110d49 released were left to 4fb0287a41 rot and die.b1f2f91f15d368ea

There was 1c3e486e37 almost no b3d111dbdf change from fc42cdf2c1 the underground c024601a78 prison in 171d107d89 my memory. The people 069b8d06bb inside were d8185dd5d1 dying in 29f3154cbc despair.a79b6d18990fd2bc

They were 7034e0e8df people who 3fe0770d90 had been 6d075e4ccf exposed to 2b5ddf4594 pain for 9466aefc06 too long. Perhaps what they needed 5cfdfaec4a was eternal rest rather 9a0b444776 than a few days 84b8f87ba9 of life extension.a552bf1ba3671aed

She was a 307248d259 woman with brown b3e72af63f hair tied up f581bc70aa carelessly. She leaned 90f63f85dc against the 040ac3c680 bars, looking 53e9763534 at me 14eafd97e2 with a b731842ea0 pouty face.d0f5e55ec2150feb

The woman’s seemingly peaceful 288031ae07 demeanor didn’t match the 4367afc978 deathly underground prison at 04f1956001 all. Considering she had just 0a0dc873df revealed a spy-like line 6fb195baa4 to someone who didn’t 2da2ea6764 know, it was even 14b993d583 more peculiar.c9f09c023159d4af

Ignoring the woman 52eda30cbe who was sincerely 3d06728572 advising me, I d84c529caf grabbed the lock a068a0e1bc on the bars. A tingling mana reaction fa92731d61 flickered at my fingertips. Ignoring the resisting 0e6e32d401 mana, I tightened 6620df19ea my grip.6709e9fe2f18b980

The woman, who had 60a57b2be2 escaped the bars, picked fc7e7096fa up the remnants of 45f36a7af5 the broken lock and e62cc44cdb examined them curiously.

After the battle 92a944a699 with Bloodfang, the 6028297eef guards of this 732a4dc821 prison further tormented c606ca5cf4 me, who was d979a92bc5 already in a f459a398ff wrecked state.
