Chapter 228 [Bonus chapter] Starlight Ancestral Hall

Even though he could extract a seal from the selected target from a distance, that distance is limited to 100 meters. Therefore, if the target leaves that range, the extraction will fail.

Moreover, when he was using the [Additional Effect] of the [Seal Swallowing Ability], Leo should not move from his place. If he does, that will lead to failure.

Therefore, the only thing that Leo could think of was using the young trainee to stall for a while.

[Telepathy]

‘Someone, stop the instructor for a few seconds.’

As soon as he thought about it, Leo hurriedly used his [Telepathy] to send an order to all the young trainees he freed earlier.

‘Huh?’

All the young trainees were confused and hesitated to stop the instructor except for the first young trainee that Leo freed.

“Instructor, I have a doubt.”

“Huh? A doubt?”

The instructor stopped in his steps, looked at the young trainee, and asked, “What is it?”

It was not the first time someone said they doubted their physical training. So, the instructor didn’t find anything suspicious.

Even though they all became enslaved and lived emotionlessly, that didn’t affect their learning capability.

The Slave Marker was not foolish to suppress that capability, as he wanted his slaves would grow stronger in the future.

“Th..that is….”

The young trainee didn’t think about what to ask. So, he started stuttering and silently asked, ‘Didn’t you say I must stop the instructor for a few seconds? I already did that.’

However, Leo could not hear those words because he couldn’t hear others’ thoughts.

“If you don’t have any…..Argh.”

Suddenly, the instructor fell to the ground and groaned his pain from all the memories he was retaining.

‘Swoosh’

‘Finally, it’s done.’

On the other hand, Leo walked out of his [Secret Dimensional Space].

“Are you the one who freed us?”

The young trainee from earlier hurriedly rushed towards Leo and asked with a grateful look.

“Yes.”

Leo nodded as he walked toward the young instructor, who looked to be in his earlier twenties.

“My name is Leo, and I am here to break the enslavement seals and free you at the request of Aurora. I think you know her, right?”

Leo asked the instructor, who had just come to his senses after becoming a free person.

“Aurora? Who is she?”

“Where did I hear that name?”

All the young trainees felt the name was familiar; however, they could not remember her.

“I knew it. She will not let go of us that easily.”

On the other hand, the instructor revealed an excited smile and hurriedly thanked Leo for his help.

The young instructor was feeling various emotions suppressed by the soul-suppressing seal. Also, he was Aurora’s childhood friend, and Aurora was famous for her beauty and intelligence.

At that time, the young instructor and a few others stayed back to help Aurora and Arlo escape, leaving the fate of their Starlight Tribe in her hands.

“So, do you want to assist me in freeing everyone in this tribe?”

Even though Leo could free the others on his own, it would take so much time.

However, with an insider’s help, it would be much easier than working alone.

“Of course.”

The instructor was loyal to the tribe and would do anything for it.

Therefore, when Leo asked to assist him, the instructor didn’t hesitate and directly agreed.

“Good. I heard there is a strong sleep-inducing poison in your tribe. Do you have access to it?”

Leo nodded and asked whether he could get his hands on the sleep-inducing poison.

“Sorry, I don’t have access to that item. Only rank 9 starlight warriors were allowed to carry it.”

With an apologetic expression, the young instructor shook his head.

‘Rank 9 starlight warriors? It must be equivalent to a rank 9 hero.’

Leo silently thought and started thinking of a suitable plan to free a large number of humans in a single go.

Even though he could free them one by one, the population of the Starlight tribe was nearly one hundred thousand, and most of the time, he had to use [Additioanl Effect].

So, it would take forever for Leo to free them.

“Even though I freed you from a distance, it would take days or even weeks to free everyone in this tribe without anyone noticing it.”

Leo thought about it for a moment and started explaining a few things about the [Seal Swallowing Abilty] and asked, “Is there a place or a way where I can come into contact with others without anyone noticing me?”

After thinking for a moment, the young instructor replied, “There is a place where thousands of our people gather two times a day; however, they would only close their eyes for two minutes. Is that enough?”

“Two minutes? It’s more than enough.”

With his [Seal Swallowing Ability], Leo only needed to touch others to swallow the enslavement seals on their bodies. So, it was more than enough.

“It is our Starlight Ancestral Hall.”

The young instructor was happy that two minutes was enough for Leo to free his people. Soon, he started talking about the place.

“The Slave Marker didn’t stop us from praying our ancestors; he even ordered us to visit the ‘Starlight Ancestral Hall’ twice in a say while saying that we should not forget our roots.”

“Huh? He said that?”

Leo frowned as he didn’t understand why a Slave Marker would bother saying such things to the enslaved beings.

“Yes.”

The young instructor nodded.

“Anyway, where is the ‘Starlight Ancestral Hall’, and when will the next prayer start?”

Leo stopped thinking about the Slave Marker and asked about the Starlight Ancestral Hall.

“One hour after the training session, all the young trainees get freshened before visiting the Starlight Ancestral Hall.”

The young instructor pointed at a black-coloured building on a mountain and said, “Since there is not much space inside the Starlight Ancestral Hall, each group of trainees will visit the Ancestral Hall separately with their instructor.”

“Good. It is enough information.”

Leo nodded with a slight smile and said, “Continue to act like you are still enslaved. I will meet you in the Ancestral Hall later.”

‘Swoosh’

[Space Manipulation – Secret Dimensional Space].

Leo didn’t waste time as he entered the [Secret Dimensional Space] to leave.

“Everyone, you heard Sir Leo, right?”

After Leo left, the young instructor looked at 120 young trainees in front of him and said, “I know it is hard to suppress your emotions; however, control them and be patient.”

“If they find out our seas are broken, you know what they will do, right?”

“Yes, instructor.”

“We will wait patiently.”

The group of young trainees hurriedly nodded their heads.

“Now, go and get ready like usual and meet me at the mountain base. Let’s go and thank Sir Leo in the ‘Starlight Ancestral Hall’ along with our ancestors from the bottom of our hearts.”

Soon, everyone put an emotionless look on their faces and left the training grounds.

…

On Starlight Mountain,

‘Ding,

The host swallowed ten level 5 soul-suppressing slave seals.

Leo sneaked into the Starlight Ancestral Hall and freed all the workers in the hall, and settled inside it.

‘Now, I no longer have to run around to swallow the seals.’

With a satisfied smile, Leo waited for the starlight people to enter the hall to pray.
