It was strange. For the first time in his life, he realized he had power. Real power over others. And when he'd exercised that power against Nelfania, he found that he'd enjoyed it a lot.
From what the Mentor had told him, nobody would miss her. She was the kind of scum his father had always told him it was a martial artist's duty to protect others from. It had been with difficulty that he'd resisted the impulse to simply ignore the fat bitch's retraction and simply let Horny have his fun. It would be so easy....
No. Ranma shook his head. That wasn't why he was here. Those girls, he had to remember that his purpose was to get them so nobody else here could do what they wanted with them. He might be a jackass himself, but that still put him on a higher level then these sadists and monsters.
There was no place to go but forwards. He could not hesitate, he had to do what he must.
The Slaver started to make his next pitch for Milly.
"Now what shall we hear for this fine beauty? 3,500 gol-"
"Hold it. They're mine," Ranma cut him off coldly.
"Uh, My Lord Keeper. Really now, this is a respectable auct-"
Again, the Auctioneer's irritating tone was cut off as Horny's slightly bored expression changed to one of restrained eagerness as Ranma's hand motioned slightly.
"The Price was 15,000. Was it not?"
"Well, yes. But that was for the other slave. The rest are not part of that dea-"
"I am altering the terms of the deal. Pray I don't alter them any further."
There was a hiss of air from the Dark Elf as he and his followers made haste to clear the area between Horny and the sweating Slaver.
Unbeknownst to Ranma, his pupils had started to shift towards a crimson shade. The power of the Dungeon Heart pulsed inside of him, and he felt that strange sensation of pleasant anticipation for the potential slaughter.
"15,000 for the lot! Yes, that is a fair price, My Lord Keeper!"
He felt almost disappointed when the man conceded with almost unseemly haste. Such a pity.
Oh well, there would be other opportunities...
