Release That Succubus-Chapter 5 Save

While the assailants were having this discussion, Zach was in a dilemma of his own.

The reason was that there was another system prompt on the screen in front of him.

[A sudden quest has been triggered.]

[Damsel in Distress]

[Quest Description: You have witnessed a strange girl being attacked by a group of slavers who intend to sell her in the slave market eventually. Being a kind hearted soul full of justice, you cannot let such an incident go unnoticed.]

[Quest Clear Conditions: Either save the girl and escape from the slavers successfully or eliminate the slavers completely.] 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗼𝗿𝐠

[Time Limit: The ruthless slavers intend to ravage the strange girl before selling her to the slave market. Save her before she falls victim to the slavers or the quest will be considered to be a failure.]

[Quest Rewards: Unknown]

[Quest Difficulty: Negligible]

[*You are more than qualified to clear this quest. Your current equipment can decimate the slavers without any difficulty.]

The Nebula System was telling him that the difficulty of the quest was negligible because the items he owned currently were enough for him to win against the slavers but there was a catch that he noticed as soon as he read the last line.

The success of the quest was dependent on how proficient he was at using the weapons available to him instead of the availability of weapons. Even though the difficulty of the quest was negligible, he had to be vigilant since he barely knew anything about this world. Thankfully, he had managed to get some information on his enemies beforehand, or things might have become difficult even for him.

Zach didn't loiter around once he decided on completing the quest. The enemy boss was busy trying to quash the little resistance that the girl posed in her weakened state while trying to rip apart her clothes.

Zach jumped out of his hiding place and rushed towards the group.

The enemy boss had already seen him coming for he stopped his lascivious actions and focused his attention on Zach who now stood exactly opposite to him with a mischievous grin covering his face.

"You better hand her over to me if you want to get out of here on your own two feet." Zach demanded with an outstretched hand.

"What did you just say to me, you rotten brat?" The boss felt that his pride had been trampled by the weak looking kid who had appeared out of nowhere.

"I said 'Hand her over to me. I want her.'" Zach reiterated his words but this time they somehow sounded even more annoying to the enemy leader.

Fuming with anger, the enemy boss felt like spitting out a mouthful of flames at Zach who had ruined his moment but managed to hold himself back. He still needed to figure out where the kid was getting his confidence from before taking any action.

A kid who was still wet behind the ears had dared to step up to him. Either, the kid was some big shot with a huge background and had a powerful protector hidden around them, or the kid was the biggest idiot that he had ever come across.

"Who are you?" The boss sounded mad as he glared at Zach with the most menacing look he could have mustered.

"Why would I want to tell you that? I have no intention of associating with someone like you." Zach replied with a disgruntled look on his face.

"How many did you bring?" The boss asked nonchalantly as if he didn't care about the answer at all. But on the inside, he was hungrily waiting his answer.

"What?" Zach didn't understand what the leader meant.

"I said, 'How many people did you bring to confront me?" The leader asked in a heavier tone obviously displeased that a kid had belittled him in front of his subordinates.

"I didn't bring anyone. I came alone. Is that a problem?" Zach decided to be truthful, obviously not wanting to drag out the situation any further.

"No, it's not a problem at all. It's just that where do you get the balls to act like this in front of us when you are all alone? Kid, take my advice and don't piss me off any further. I don't mind killing a kid or two if it hinders my business." The leader was back to talking in his authoritative tone once he had figured out that Zach was all alone without any one to support him.

"I am trying not to kill anyone so don't take my forbearance for granted and stop running your mouth." Zach was apprehensive about killing people even if they didn't deserve to live.

In this foreign world, forgetting who he was and where he came from was quite a realistic possibility. Power and authority could do that to people and skew their mentality in ways that they couldn't even comprehend.

Zach didn't want to forget the human values that were still a big part of him. Even if it was a different world, a life was still a life. He wanted to keep on respecting the value of life as much as possible.

The leader's face turned bloody red edging towards purple as he tried to control the raging blood rushing to his head. He had never felt this humiliated ever before in his life. He had been belittled by a snot nosed brat in front of his subordinates and had even threatened him to his face.

This kind of affront couldn't go unpunished or his tyrannical image that he had established with a lot of effort would get shattered into oblivion.

"How dare a little brat like you threaten me? I must let you experience the consequences of your little bastardly actions. Take this lesson to heart and be a good kid in your next life and make sure to not poke your nose in others' business in the future." The leader finally growled like a beast and pounced on Zach with eyes that screamed bloody murder.

In the very next moment, the leader was surprised beyond belief. The brat turned out to be very nimble and crafty, avoiding every single jab and kick with surprising accuracy and swiftness. It was like he could anticipate his every move prior to his attack.

His burly body was also one of the reasons that Zach found it surprisingly easy to evade his attacks. Smallest movements of the leader allowed Zach to determine his next action with ease. Given the large mass of the leader's body, the movements became more prominent for Zach to decipher.

Zach used the gaps between his techniques to throw in a move or two staggering the leader in the midst of his move and caused him to back away.

The leader had figured out by then that his close combat techniques were of no use in his fight against the scrawny brat. This hurt his pride even further but he had come too far to let go. He wasn't willing to make peace with Zach even if he ended up losing everything.

The leader backed away from Zach intending on increasing the distance between them to cast his magic skills.

Zach, who had long since seen through what the leader was planning, rushed in at the same time.

The leader began chanting his magic spell after creating some distance between himself and Zach, only to be interrupted by Zach's kick in the midst of it.

Zach's kick failed to connect but it served its purpose. It successfully disturbed his opponent from casting his magic skill.

The leader disregarded everything and hid using his invisibility skill, fully intent on murdering Zach no matter what.

Zach had been waiting for this moment throughout his fight. Since he had little knowledge about the magic proficiency of the leader, he hadn't intended on letting him cast magic but the invisibility skill was something he had already seen enough of.

The ability allowed him to bend light around his body, allowing him to stay invisible to human eyes. But the wavelength of the infra red rays was different compared to visible light. The analysis lenses on Zach were therefore capable of seeing his figure accurately rendering the leader's skill ineffective.

But the leader was completely unaware that Zach could already see him.
