"Anames, we can easily wipe the humans out. Why are you stopping me!?" Brolvan yelled. He didn't understand they were just weak humans. Why not just wipe them all out?

Before Anames could say a word, Ryu's cold voice entered Brolvan's ears. "If you wish to lose your arm, keep pointing your sword at my wife."

Brolvan suddenly felt a massive pressure weighing down on him, causing him to turn and look at Ryu. He only now realized things were not so simple. He slowly lowered his sword and, through gritted teeth, replied: "I lowered my weapon, have your wolfkin let Arkin go!"

Ryu was not unreasonable. He looked over at Chi and said: "Don't let her go. Kill her if anyone makes a move." He was not unreasonable, but that did not mean he would let an enemy go.

"You!" Brolvan wanted to charge at Ryu and cut the damn human's head off for being so arrogant.

"Brolvan! Enough! Or are my words something you no longer listen to?" Anames looked over and glared at Brolvan. Hearing her cold, commanding tone, Brolvan had no choice but to shut his mouth. He did not wish to deal with her wrath. Seeing that he was now quiet, she turned back to Ryu and asked: "Sir, My name is Anames. May I know yours?"

"It's Ryu. Anames, can I ask that you turn your monster horde around? You seem like someone I can reason with, so I am sure we can come to a peaceful agreement here." Ryu looked at Anames with clear eyes. He did not wish to fight if they did not need to. He was having this feeling that maybe this hell mode was much different than normal dungeons.

Anames frowned. She was about to reply when Brolvan yelled out again: "Hah! Who do you think you are!? Our great Monster Lord will destroy all of humanity and break the seal that keeps us from escaping!"

"Brolvan!" Anames body flashed and appeared in front of Brolvan, her fist smashing down on his face causing him to fly straight into the ground creating a small crater. She then picked him up and dragged him over to where Chi was and dropped him next to Arkin. "Miss, can you hold this one down too? If he struggles, just kill him."

"Mm..." Chi agreed without issue and then stepped on Brolvan's head as well, stomping on it a few times.

Ryu chuckled and realized that this Anames was more interesting than he had thought. He watched her walk back over and bow her head. "As you have heard, the monster lord who has control over most of our actions has awakened and plans to wipe out all humans. While I can not bring the monsters back, the best I can do is hold out here for a few days. But if the Monster Lord finds something wrong, he will order the monsters to attack, overriding my command over them.

"I know I may not have the right to ask, but I wish to beg for your assistance. If you are able to kill the Monster Lord and break his control over myself, Brolvan, and Arkin, us three will swear our loyalty to you." Seeing the strength of the man standing next to Ryu and also seeing how strong Ryu was, she had hopes for freedom away from the Monster Lord. He was a being who showed no mercy.

Ryu was actually stunned by this sudden request. Even his chain quest had been updated.

[Special Harlin Heights Chain Quest: The Monster Lord Awakens]

[Will you assist Anames in her quest for freedom?]

[Reward: Three new followers Anames, Arkin, Brolvan]

Ryu hit the yes button and nodded his head. "We will help, but how long can you hold the monsters back for?"

Anames looked at Ryu, stunned. She never thought he would so readily agree without making her promise something more. "A week max… Three days minimum, it depends how fast the Monster Lord realizes something is wrong."

"Alright, can you have Arkin show us the way? I do not want to leave control of the monsters to anyone else but you." Ryu knew this was a quest, but this game never played by the rules. If for some reason, things were like how it was outside the dungeon, then the lives of these A.I. would disappear once they were dead.

"You will trust her!?" Anames was stunned once more. She never expected Ryu to want to take Arkin with him to show the way. She figured he would just ask for directions.

"Not like she can do anything to us anyway. Plus, my wife will keep her in line if she dares to do anything." Ryu replied in a relaxed tone.

"Alright. I will make sure Brolvan behaves while you are gone. " The commander who had watched the entire exchange from start to finish was completely stunned. He never thought he would see a day when a demonkin and a human could make a deal, and he even heard the one in the lead say that she would willingly follow Ryu if he helped her. This was beyond anything he could have ever expected!

"Arkin!" Anames looked at Arkin, who was still being stepped on.

Chi frowned and raised her foot, letting Arkin raise her head before stomping back down, smashing her face back into the dirt. She then began whistling as if she had not done anything wrong as she walked away. As for the person who was stepped on, she glared at Chi and slowly got up and walked over to Anames. "Anames, are we really doing this!?"

"Yes, they are our only hope." Anames answered before leaning over and whispering into Arkin's ear: "Plus, wouldn't having a handsome man like Ryu as our master be much more pleasing to the eyes than that disgusting pig who has ruined many of our sisters?"

Arkin looked over at Ryu for a second and then back at Anames and nodded her head. "Mmm… As long as he does not treat us badly, I will accept."

"Good, then do your best to please him even if it means being nice to his wife. She seems to be the jealous type, so do not cross the line." Anames did not wish for there to be any arguments between Arkin and Chi. She wanted things to go smoothly, so they could escape that man's grasp.
