After rescuing the humans from the Abyss Demons, we quickly led them to a different place while watching out for the Abyss Demons. This was a place that was in the exact opposite direction that the Abyss Demons were searching in. Even though they were searching, it didn't seem like they were confident to split up and search a large area. That and the fact that they saw footprints made them head in one direction. The Abyss Demons were surprisingly easy to trick since those footprints didn't even come from a living person. But of course, I made sure to watch over them with the skeletal rats just in case they decided to head back this way. It was dangerous to believe that the enemy would just follow whatever trap one set, it was best to watch over them. However, since they were going in a different direction, that meant that we had some time to talk. After I told them the situation, the humans that we saved let out a sigh of relief. Now that we had some time, I could see that they were around the same age as us, though they were a bit older than us. At the same time, they were wearing the same Abyss Guard badges as us, which meant that they were also members of the Abyss Guards. Though they did have more stripes than us, showing that they were higher ranked than us. Once we had time, the leader of the group came forward to take my hands before saying, "Thank you for saving us. I really thought that we were done for." "Right, if it wasn't for you, then that really would have been the end of us." "I honestly thought that was the end, but to be able to live another day is always a good thing." That was the general vibe of the group, but…there was always that one person that didn't do the same thing as the rest of the group. There was always that one person that seemed to be at odds with the rest of the group. "If you were going to save us, why didn't you do it sooner? Because of you, I wasted a bunch of my supplies trying to chase them off. Are you going to compensate me for the items that I wasted?" The rest of his group narrowed their eyes to look at this person that said this, but they didn't say anything to reprimand him. It was clear that this person that was acting stuck up was an important member of the group…though it didn't seem like it was because of his power. No, it seemed that it was partly because of the power that he had and partly because of his background. With the way that they looked at him, it almost seemed like they were a bit subservient to him. I narrowed my eyes to look at this person after hearing what he said. This person was a young man with hair that was standing up and eyes that were sharp and narrow. He had the kind of appearance that just demonstrated how arrogant he was and how much he wanted to show off. This was not the kind of person that seemed like they would be able to be humble no matter how he acted. And since that was the case…. "Alright, it seems that you're full of energy then. I wish you good luck." I said in a cold voice before turning around to leave. I had helped them because they were members of the Abyss Guards like us, but to be shown this kind of ungrateful response after saving them… Well, I wasn't about to let them just walk all over me like this. It wasn't as if there was a need for us to be with anyone else in this Abyss. It was better if we were alone since it would give us more options in doing things. If we were with someone else, then it would mean that we would have to care about what they wanted and what they needed. The arrogant young man who had been complaining suddenly revealed a stunned look while the rest of his group revealed awkward looks. They weren't surprised to see us act this way, but it seemed like there was something else that they were worried about. After he came back from his daze, the arrogant young man suddenly twisted his face and said, "Where do you think you're going? Since you're here, it's only natural that you will act as a distraction for me. I am your superior officer, you will listen to my orders." There was no hesitation in his voice at all, it was as if he truly believed that everyone in this world should just cater to his every whim.

You're a private just like us, what makes you think that you're our superior officer?" I said without any hesitation. The face of the arrogant young man twisted again when he heard this before he pointed at his badge to say, "Can't you see, are you really that blind? I have two stripes, which means that I'm a private second class. So it's only natural that you should listen to me since my rank is higher than yours." "I have no obligation to listen to someone like you. If you really want to push it…" With a snap of my fingers, there were several bones that came out of the ground around me. When they took shape, they took the form of the same undead as before. That was because they were the same undead as before. The skeletal rats had also brought those broken bones over and I raised them as undead once more. After being raised, the skeletons raised their swords to point at the arrogant young man without any hesitation. I knew that for someone like this, words would never get through to him. The only thing that would get through to him were actions.
