"System: Reward granted! Now help Asher Timberlake!"
Sai didn't hesitate and got out of the carriage. "Master! I know a way to help you!" Sai shouted as he ran toward Asher.
"Your highness, no! Go back in the carriage, it's dangerous!" Asher was still fighting against the magical beasts.
Sai didn't listen, instead he went by Asher's side. "Do not worry! I can help you! You just have to buy me some time."
"But your highness-" Sai cuts him off.
"This is an order." Asher cannot do anything about that anymore since it is an order.
"Understand. Please be quick, your highness." Asher said as he got ready to protect Sai. Sai then nodded as a sin that he will begin now.
Sai faced the magical beasts and looked at them intensely. He stretches his arm forward as if he is trying to cast a spell or a magic.
"Come, my magical beasts. I have come to free all of you from that pain!" Sai commanded the magical beasts. Sai's jewel blue eyes glowed as he said those words.
The magical beasts then suddenly stop from attacking and start going towards Sai. The remaining bandits were shocked and confused as to why the magical beasts suddenly started obeying a young boy. Asher was also shocked and confused.
One of the bandits suddenly spoke. "You damned beasts! Come back! This cannot be! Did the spell break just because of that brat! ATTACK THAT BRAT YOU DAMN BEASTS! Listen to me!" The bandit was on range; he cannot make them obey him anymore.
"You guys listen well…" Sai said as all of the beasts went to his side. "All of you are now free. So will you guys grant me a wish to save all of you?" Sai asks the beasts to pet one of them. The beasts just melt on his touch. It seems like the magical beasts will now obey Sai.
Sai grins and looks at the bandits with his deadly eyes. The bloodlust was creeping out of Sai. The bandits know that they should escape now but they cannot move because of the pressure. But some of the stronger bandits manage to run.
"Too late. Attack them." Sai commanded the magical beasts, and they started attacking the bandits.
Sai just watches the scene unfold in front of him. Asher was the same. But he is still shocked by what's happening right now.
Then Asher finally spoke. "Your highness, I have a lot of things to ask you. But for now, I won't ask anything yet until we reach the north."
"That is very considerate of you master." Sai said.
"Of course… Your safety is my priority. If I hadn't known that you are not really five this would be hard for me to process..." Asher said with a bit of a playful tone.
Sai chuckles. "Do not worry, I will explain everything once we arrive in the north."
The magical beasts have finished what they have been ordered and come back to Sai. "Thank you for your help, everyone. All of you are free to go" But before Sai could finish his sentence he suddenly collapsed.
Asher manages to catch Sai before hitting the floor. "Your Highness! You're burning up!" Asher was checking on him worried that his highness got ill.
But suddenly one of the magical beasts transformed into a human being. Asher eyes widen. Did the magical beasts just transform into a person?
