Arvin, who was still maintaining his invisible form, moved quickly to cover Kaydan's mouth so his spouse would not scream in panic. He knew perfectly well that a single scream in this echoing underground corridor could attract the attention of all the other prisoners as well as the soldiers guarding outside the block.
"Keep quiet!" Arvin whispered right into the gray-haired youth's ear, his tone very serious yet laden with relief because he had arrived right on time. "You are currently being held captive in the underground prison, and you were just nearly raped by that bastard soldier. Stay calm. I will free you and get you out of this filthy place as quickly as possible!"
Hearing the whisper of the deep voice he recognized and missed so much, the panic that had seized Kaydan's chest evaporated instantly. He felt incredibly safe and relieved.
The youth then nodded slowly, signaling that he understood and would obey the command.
"Can you use your sand and gravity magic right now?" Arvin whispered to ensure his condition, slowly releasing the gag from his spouse's mouth so he could speak.
"Yes, I can!" Kaydan answered in a whisper, his eyes beginning to sharpen, ready for battle. "What should I do with my power, My Light?"
"Go on a rampage and destroy everything in here!" Arvin commanded, whispering tone, giving his spouse absolute permission to unleash all his anger. "Run and push your way up until you are out of this capital, and kill anyone who dares to stop you. Once you successfully run into the forest, I will use my magic to get you completely out of this hell."
"But... you will always be with me, right?" Kaydan asked to confirm, his voice trembling slightly. His teary, hopeful eyes stared at the empty air beside him, searching for where his husband's face was.
"Rest assured, Kaydan." Arvin answered in a gentle whisper, his invisible hand softly caressing the top of the youth's head. "I will continue to follow you from behind and make sure your path is safe."
Hearing that promise, Kaydan nodded in understanding. A smile full of relief and confidence bloomed on his face.
Without wasting time, the gray-haired youth began to concentrate his mana. He directly applied his gravity magic onto very specific points.
An immensely heavy gravitational pressure was focused on the four iron cuffs locking his wrists and ankles. The thick iron began to stretch, creaking under the extreme magical pressure, before finally snapping and detaching completely from Kaydan's body with the muffled sound of breaking iron.
As soon as his spouse was freed from his shackles, Arvin immediately took out a pair of pants from his dimensional storage space and handed them straight into the empty air in front of Kaydan.
Seeing the pants floating toward him, the youth, without a second thought, immediately grabbed and put on the pants given by his husband.
"Are you ready to rampage?" Arvin whispered to make sure.
Kaydan replied with a firm nod and a gaze ready for battle.
"Good! When you run down the corridor later, destroy all the prison doors in this place!" Arvin instructed. He wanted to create a large-scale chaos as a distraction.
"I will gladly do so!" Kaydan answered firmly, a feral smirk beginning to form on his lips.
And then, the brown-skinned youth stepped down from the bed, walking out past the threshold of his open prison cell. He glanced around, assessing the battlefield.
He took a deep breath, feeling the damp prison air fill his lungs, then exhaled it slowly. His eyes glared sharply down the long, dark corridor ahead of him.
Screech!
The iron-barred door of the prison cell right next to his right began to bend and twist inward due to the extreme pressure, concentrating a gravitational load dozens of times heavier onto a single point.
The thick iron hinges could no longer withstand the pressure.
Bang!
The door, crushed and crumpled like a crumpled piece of paper, detached and crashed onto the stone floor. The incredibly loud sound of the impact instantly echoed thunderously, shattering the silence in the quiet corridor.
Both the prisoners cowering in fear and the soldiers standing guard at various points in the underground corridor jolted instantly. They all heard the loud sound of the falling iron very clearly.
Bang!
The sound of slamming iron was heard again, immediately drawing the attention of everyone in the underground prison corridor area.
Meanwhile, in the cell located quite far from Kaydan's position, the soldier who had previously been busy raping a youth immediately stopped his actions. His hip movements paused in mid-air, replaced by an expression of shock and vigilance after hearing the noise from the depths of the prison corridor.
"Aaaahhhhh....!!!!"
Suddenly, the screams of agony from the guards could be heard echoing off one another, filling the prison corridor. Those death screams further incited panic and drew the attention of more soldiers who had been relaxing.
"Damn it!" the soldier in the cell grumbled with a look of annoyance and frustration because his pleasure was interrupted.
"What kind of chaos is happening in there?!"
The burly man hastily pulled back, picked up his pants scattered on the floor, and quickly put them on. Ignoring his captive, he grabbed his sword and hurried out of the cell toward the source of the increasingly deafening commotion.
After the depraved soldier left, the youth who was still tied to the bed shut his eyes tightly. He did not know what was happening out there, but he felt incredibly relieved to have been freed from that rape.
Amidst his stifled sobs, he shed tears of gratitude.
Arvin, who still maintained his invisible form, had arrived inside the cell using a gate magic, passing through the iron bars without needing to destroy them, and walked toward the miserable youth.
"Hey, don't speak. Just nod or shake your head to answer me!"
A very soft, male whisper suddenly sounded right in the crying youth's ear, making him jolt stiffly.
"Do you want to be free from this place?"
The miserable youth was so startled that his breath nearly stopped upon hearing someone's voice mysteriously whispering to him out of thin air. His eyes searched around, but he saw no one.
However, the tempting offer he had just heard was absolutely impossible to refuse. Without the slightest hesitation, the youth immediately nodded his head repeatedly.
"Alright, I will free you!" Arvin said again.
A wind magic pressure, extremely thin yet as sharp as a chainsaw, worked swiftly. Arvin began cutting and releasing all the thick iron shackles on the youth's wrists and ankles.
"Once you are free, get out of this cell and follow a brown-skinned boy who is currently rampaging out there. Run with him toward the forest!" Arvin instructed in a whisper.
Clack!
All the shackles were neatly cut and completely released onto the bed.
The youth was free.
Arvin then took out a pair of clean black trousers and placed them on the bed.
Seeing the pants that suddenly appeared before him, the youth immediately grabbed them and quickly put them on with hands that were still slightly trembling.
Once his pants were properly on, he looked around at his surroundings, which appeared empty.
"Thank you... thank you so much for freeing me!" the youth said in a hoarse voice filled with deep gratitude.
"It is still too early for you to be thanking me!" Arvin replied in a gentle yet firm tone from the empty air. "For now, get out quickly and help my spouse who is rampaging in that corridor! I will follow the movements of the two of you from behind!"
Hearing his mysterious savior's instructions, the youth nodded in understanding. The fear in his eyes was slowly replaced by the determination to survive. He immediately ran out of the cell, then walked quickly down the corridor toward the source of the commotion and screams in the depths of the detention block.
Arvin, who was still in his invisible form, stepped out and began to follow the youth from behind, maintaining a safe distance to ensure he would not accidentally get hit by the brutal attacks of the rampaging Kaydan.
Rampage to your heart's content! I will be near both of you until you successfully get out of this territory.
