“Who said I want to die peacefully?”

The unconscious rank 7 Griffin woke up as it glared at Leo and scoffed at him.

‘Screech’

Seeing its partner wake up, the rank 5 Griffin and the two gryphlings became excited as they rushed toward the rank 7 Griffin.

“Brother Leo.”

The pressure exuded from the rank 7 Griffin was enough to suffocate Julia as she hurriedly called Leo for help.

“Stop exuding your pressure before I kill you.”

Leo stood in front of Julia as he coldly replied to the rank 7 Griffin.

“…”

Seeing the cold look on Leo’s face, the rank 7 Griffin shuddered as it hurriedly retracted its aura.

“Nasr, who did you bring here?”

Looking at the rank 5 Griffin, the rank 7 Griffin asked in a fearful voice because it felt a bad premonition in its heart when it looked at Leo.

‘Screech…screech’

‘What? He is powerful enough to kill a rank 8 monster king and its minions?’_-.

From Nasr, the rank 7 Griffin learned how powerful Leo was and looked at him in a new light.

‘So, he owes you?’

‘Screech’

Nasr nodded his head proudly to his wife while replying with a screech.

“Julia, are you alright?”

As for Leo, he didn’t bother with Griffins and asked Julia.

“I am alright, Brother Leo.”

Julia gasped for breath as she replied to Leo.

“Since you can endure the pain, I don’t think I can help you with anything.”

After checking on Julia, Leo looked at Nasr, the rank 5 Griffin, and shook his head.

‘Screech’

Nasr became anxious as he could sense Leo’s attitude turn back to being cold.

“Sir Leo, I am sorry for my earlier rudeness.”

Once she learned about Leo, Herse didn’t dare to show an attitude in front of Leo and apologized for her earlier behaviour.

“There is no need for any apologies.”

Leo shook his head and said, “I will be leaving now.”

After saying that, Leo started walking out with Julia.

“Sir Leo, please wait. Can you really help me if I have the blood of that ‘B*stard’?”

Herse tried to walk; however, she could not move her legs or wings as she fell to the ground.

Nevertheless, she asked Leo whether he could help her with the pain.

“Where is the blood?”

When Herse was expecting that Leo would make her beg to help her with the pain, she saw Leo turn back and ask about the blood.

“It is in Manticore’s territory.”

Herse hesitated a little before answering Leo’s question.

“Explain to me from the beginning.”

Leo raised his brows when he heard Herse’s reply as he asked her to say everything from the beginning.

“Can you take children out for a while?”

However, before Herse could tell the entire story, Herse asked Nasr to take the two gryphlings out.

‘Screech’

Nasr nodded his head without any hesitation before taking them out.

“Julia, why don’t you go and play with them?”

At the same time, Leo also asked Julia to go out.

“But, Brother Leo…”

“As long as you give them a stamina recovery fruit, they will become friends with you.”

Before Julia could finish her words, Leo took out two green-coloured fruits and gave them to her.

“Okay.”

Even though she wanted to listen to what happened to the rank 7 Griffin, she controlled her curiosity and followed Leo’s words.

‘Anyway, I will play with the little griffins.’

With that thought in her head, Julia hurriedly rushed out of the cave to play with the two gryphlings.

…..

Once everyone left, Herse started telling about everything from the beginning.

“Since you know this is the uncleared land, Nasr can’t roam freely in this land. So, when it comes to bringing food back to the cave, I will go out.”

“However, the son of the Manticore tribe’s chief saw me and wanted me to become his mount. When I didn’t agree, he used his guards to capture me.”

“Later, his father marked a slave seal on my body and made his son as my master.”

“I waited for a few days and I got the opportunity to kill that b*stard before escaping from there.”

Herse gave a full narration of what happened to her and how she got tortured by her master. She didn’t miss a single detail.

‘Damn these manticores…every single one of them deserves to die.’

After hearing about what happened to the rank 7 Griffin, Leo clenched his fists in anger.

“Even though I knew I can die if I kill that b*stard, I was unable to endure the torture any longer. So, I killed him and while enduring the pain from the curse, I flew here to see my husband and children one last time.”

“However, after seeing them, I didn’t want to die. So, I continued to endure the pain. When my husband Nasr saw me in pain, he went out of the cave to find something to help me….sigh.”

“Can you please help me with the pain? Even though I can endure it, it is becoming more and more unbearable with each passing day.”

By the time she finished her story, Herse had started crying as she begged Leo to help her.

“Sigh”

Leo sighed as he asked, “So, it’s been three days since you got cursed, right?”

“Yes.”

Herse hurriedly nodded her eagle head.

‘Since it is only the third day, she could pull it through for another two days without any problem.’

Generally, an enslaved person who killed his master will die exactly after seven days, and during those seven days, they would experience pain that would show them hell while living.

So, Leo nodded his head.

“Does your husband know the location of Manticore’s territory?”

After learning about the strength of the Manticore’s territory, Leo asked where Nasr could guide him to that place.

“Yes.”

“I can’t guarantee much to you now; however, if everything goes right, then I might break your curse and you don’t have to experience any painafter that.”

After saying those words, Leo walked out of the cave while leaving behind a hopeful griffin that bowed its head at Leo.

‘If only I had someone to help me back then, things would have been very easy for me.’

Leo walked out of the cave with a long sigh and said, “Nasr, let’s go to Manticore territory to get your revenge.”
