The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess

Although Alex greatly sympathised with them, their shrieking cries were making his head burst in pain.

So, trying to put on the most sincere smile he could muster, Alex muttered.

"Trust this big brother of yours. Your safety is my responsibility. With me, no one will hurt you."

The children's eyes sparkled.

The three students from Academy were a bit sceptical about it but they decided to believe in him as they couldn't find the monster guarding the cage and looking around they found traces of battle which meant that Alex took care of the monster.

"Okay, now stop crying. I will cast a healing spell on you so line up and please don't cry otherwise we will attract the attention of those baddies monsters."

"So Shush!" Alex muttered, putting a finger on his lips.

The students obeyed and putting fingers over their lips they stood up straight obediently.

Alex cast a series of spells and took the opportunity of Goddess Buff to give them buffs which would last for two hours.

Alex took out a pouch inside which were some weapons he snatched on the way.

Alex took out daggers and gave one to each for safety.

Alex walked towards his classmates and asked them about their identities and strength.

"Alex senpai, I am Tina. I am a Mage and I am at disciple rank." A girl with pink hair mattered.

Followed by her were two boys Harrison and Gaston. One was a warrior and the last one was a scholarly mage.

Alex noted their strength but coughed embarrassedly when they addressed him as Senpai.

"I am in the same batch as you, so why are you addressing me as a senior?"

"Alex Senpai's strength is way beyond the league. Only a person with strong willpower and strength could be daring enough to battle like you. I can feel that you are Epic rank strength. So, I think you are a bit older than us." Gaston spoke with sparkling eyes.

Alex rubbed his chin nodding in satisfaction but he almost fell on his butt when Gaston thought him older.

"My age is similar to yours so please don't address me as a senior."

"No, you are senpai. It's a matter of respect."

Alex was unable to shake their determination and sighed heavily.

'Kids these days are too stubborn and tough to handle.'Alex murmured inwardly.

"I wanted to ask you, just how many of you were there initially."

"There were around a hundred here and but a few days ago all adults were taken away by those monsters leaving anyone below 20. We are lucky enough to survive. If we were just a year older.." Tina stuttered at the end as tears came out of her eyes thinking about the horrible fate she might have suffered.

"Alex senpai, how will you take us out? You are alone and we all may be a burden on you if a large group comes out to attack us." Tina asked worriedly.

Alex's expression turned a bit stiff. He was also contemplating this matter.

He knew the horror of outside, the place was full of enemies and they would pounce on you, and attack out of nowhere.

He had also heard from one of the fellows he tortured that they could smell humans and especially the children who are quite tender and soft for them.

There were many small getaways around. Under the reddish pool of liquid, one could find a gateway to enter and exit.

Alex had found some on his way and the quickest one from here was at a distance of one and half hours.

He could cover it in a matter of a few minutes if he used a flying spell but with these, he had to walk to that point.

On top of that, the sacrificial temple was quite close to this. While entering the cave, Alex caught the sight of the Grand temple which looked menacing from afar.

"Listen, does anyone besides these three, anyone who knows how to fight?"

"Like some spells or simple skills," Alex asked.

All of them shook their heads. Alex noticed that many were even unawakened in the group.

'It seems I can only rely on myself and the mana sensors. System, it seems that the life of these people is in your hands.'

Alex put all the responsibility on his system. If any figure was missed by the map of the mana sensor, then all the blame will be shifted to the system.

Meanwhile, the system wants to curse this dogshit guy but due to Alex's headache, he didn't curse this fellow and showed a big heart.

Alex gave them instructions and taught them some things for basic survival. With the help of the Goddess Buff, they were enveloped with the protection of light blessing so they don't have to fear getting harmed by the mana of darkness in the surroundings.

"Okay, follow me now and don't make any noise," Alex advised them and took the lead.

Tina, Harrison and Gaston acted as second in command to keep the others in tab.

Alex didn't find any more monsters in the cave, but as soon as they came out, Alex caught sight of a few people.

"Hide in the cave, for now, I will take out a few," Alex said.

"Take me with you, I will be of some help." Harrison insisted but Alex sternly refuted.

Alex walked slowly and stood behind a tree. He took out the bow from his back and the sight of three figures reflected in his eyes.

Alex summoned three arrows and shot.

Swish!

Three bodies fell with a thud.

Alex examined from the distance and walked across the area to clear the mobs while keeping his eye on the mana sensor.

Seeing that no one was nearby Alex walked towards the cave. On his way, he stood on the top of a boulder and observed the temple that was covered with lava.

Noting no abnormalities in his sight, Alex jumped down the boulder but as he reached the cave, he felt a large surge of mana followed by a huge explosion from afar.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
