Chapter 32 Running Away
Without wasting further time, David led us through the escape route.
We passed through various narrow corridors thus, arriving at the backside of the prison.
There was a small copper gate present there.
"After passing through it, we can follow the narrow alleys down the central square to easily escape to the outskirts of the city", said David enthusiastically.
As we tried to open the gate suddenly the sound of large bells reverberated throughout the entire prison.
No words needed to be spoken between us as we all knew what it meant.
It was sort of an alarm which guards used in case of an emergency to tell others that a prisoner had escaped from their cell.
"Fuck they were too fast, it's only been a few minutes since we freed Parul but they have already discovered that she has escaped", David couldn't help but curse out loud.
I couldn't help but laugh inwardly, 'Oh stupid protagonist! Of course, they will catch up to us as I have been leaving a trail behind.'
By this time both me and David had removed our disguise and I used the knife which I was carrying for emergencies to cut small pieces of the cloth.
I was leaving small pieces of cloth along the way to make sure the guards caught up to us.
"This door is taking so much time to open, let's just break it open, David!"
"Yes, you are right."
"Lend me your strength!"
We together kicked the door forcefully and finally after some hard work the door broke opened.
We were as swift as the wind, running as fast as we could!
After crossing some distance we heard some loud noises behind us.
David and Parul were shocked when they saw the guards who were riding on horses chasing us.
According to my plan, those guards successfully picked up the clues I left behind on our route.
By picking those clues they must have figured out our escape route and guessed that we were escaping to the outskirts of the city.
I couldn't help but admire the fast response that they showed.
We were running at our full speed. We were pushing our bodies to the limits as we knew our life depended on it.
The distance between the escapee and the chaser grew narrower with each passing second.
But luckily we reached the location near the main shopping street where Rose was hiding for her action.
Suddenly, numerous arrows were thrown in our direction.
Given mine and David's high physical strength and mobility, we bent downwards to dodge them and dragged Parul down too.
The arrows were infused with air magic to make them much sharper and they quickly passed over us to hit the horses on which the guards were giving us the chase.
The guards fell to the ground after most of their horses were injured by the incoming arrows.
As we lifted ourselves from the ground various people who covered their faces with masks started coming out from the nearby hidden corners where they were waiting patiently.
I knew that these were Rose's people and they were someone which their guild invested a lot to nurture.
The guards were staring at us like they could eat us directly.
The knights thought that these new people wearing masks were our reinforcements who came to assist us in fleeing.
Most of the guards were hot-blooded anyway and couldn't take provocation easily so some of them directly charged at the people that Rose brought.
Both the groups engaged in a melee while we were busy taking cover as we were stuck in the middle of them.
I quickly spotted Rose who was hiding close to us and both of our eyes met.
After sleeping together and sharing some of my dragon bloodline with her, we had already reached a stage where she can understand what I want by just looking at the urgency in my eyes.
She nodded back to reassure me that she will finish her task without any error.
There were screams all around. Both groups were using swords and countless low-grade magic spells were flying all over the battlefield.
Suddenly under Rose's command, two of her people attacked David from both sides to divert his attention.
As a result, David was forced to engage in a battle with the duo and quickly lost focus of us.
Seeing that time was right, Rose quickly rushed to us and held Parul's hands.
"Sister… sister come with me fast, we don't have much time!"
Parul gave a last glance at David and then turned her head to look back at me.
"Go!" I couldn't help but push her to Rose.
She nodded at me.
"Thank you so much Elandor for helping me choose the right path. I don't know what would have happened to me without you!"
"You too must escape out safely from here", after saying she quickly followed Rose to escape into a narrow passageway behind the old houses along the street.
Seeing that their mistresses had successfully escaped, all the people that accompanied Rose started retreating.
The people brought by Rose were much more professionally trained than the prison guards as they had already dealt a lot of serious injuries to them in such a short time.
I too took advantage of the chaos to slip out.
Given my mastery of wind and space magic, I was like an assassin who disappeared in thin air.
After robbing Evelyn I had already spent some time in the forest to get a hang of various basic magic usage and my stealth was already at max because of it.
David was busy swinging his sword against his two enemies who were Rose's accomplices.
Seeing his enemy retreating David breathed a sigh of relief!
"Haha, what an interesting opponent they were clearly more skilled than those prison guards but.. Why do I feel like they were deliberately stalling me?"
"Nevermind...Elandor, Parul, let's run away too while these groups are fighting among them."
As he turned back to find his teammates he was surprised to see that there was no one at the original place.
He was too shocked by the sudden situation and by that time all the people brought by Rose had already retreated, and only he was left alone.
In the dark of night, the moonlight falling on his face only highlighted his stupefied expression.
The prison guards were badly injured by Rose's group but when they saw there was still someone standing alone on the street all of them rushed and surrounded him.
David was already thunderstruck because of abandonment by his teammates and by the time he realised he was in a dangerous situation the guards surrounded and tied him using ropes.
David looked at his hands that were tied by ropes and couldn't help but scream out loud,
"ELAAAAANDDORRRRR, WHERE THE FUCKKKK ARE YOU?"
