Breaking a few bones

"Hello there princess" Sergeant Tanilov grinned, it was a wicked grin. Even though DEBUG_HERO had known that man for five years as a very kind man with great sense of humour, she couldn't feel anything but vile hatred towards the man now.

"One day I'm going to make sure you won't be able to smile ever again" DEBUG_HERO said, fists up, ready for the first one to come her way. She had a few benefits from having to constantly heal herself, the body's natural process to build itself when training is always first destroying small parts of itself, be it muscles or bones and the healing up making everything stronger. She noticed that her bones didn't fracture as much, her muscles were strong and her senses were on point. One can argue she was in the best shape of her life, an athletic warrior, she had one hell of stamina, and the guards could never tire her out, just knock her out by brute ****.

The sergeant nodded to two of the men to come forward. Getting her out of the corner so they can surround her was a new tactic they had been starting using, but DEBUG_HERO didn't really care. All of the dancing will still end up with her being **** on the floor, they will eventually overcome her, but it's not like she had any other entertainment in her cell.

The two guards approached her cautiously, each had a club in hand and just padded armour, the standard these days. DEBUG_HERO didn't wait for them and jumped right at them, they panicked and she used their confusion to quickly kick one in the head while using her leg coming down from the kick to swipe the other one in the shin. The first one flew towards the floor, not even registering the blow, the second one groaned in pain, hands shooting straight down to hold the leg that was hit.

"We don't want to break this, do we now, maybe swap out?" She teased the guard, before clocking him in the head with her elbow. The guard fell back to the floor, his eyes rolled back. DEBUG_HERO looked at the two on the floor, then turned towards the guard sergeant, "Who's next?" she grinned. The **** two were Crooked Nose and Big Ears, she already knew anything she needed about those two, but there were some in the guard she didn't test yet.

Others came in, in a group. Knocking two out who were hesitant and unprepared for her was easy, fighting off eight guys was practically impossible, not in the state she was in at least, were she not naked and unarmed, it might've been a fair fight. She traded some blows, but they got the best of her fairly quickly. She felt one of her ribs crack, had a few strong white flashes as they hit her head and she was pretty sure something had happened to her spleen.

She was holding one of the guards by his neck while trying to dodge some of the attacks, it was so annoying, she tried to study the guard she was holding, but those pesky guards continued to hammer away at her, she's going to kill them if they don't stop. She felt so much anger and power surging through her, if only she could squish them. Gargling noises startled her, she was squeezing the man's throat so strongly he was ****.

"Oh great Dragon's dump, can you fight each other for a moment" She shouted at the guards, dropping the **** man. The guards were stunned for a moment, not sure about her reaction, before returning to try and hit her again, DEBUG_HERO continued to try and dodge or block their attacks.

Back behind the guards, the one she was **** stood up to his feet, a look of determination in his eyes, and he hit one of the other men as hard as he possibly could in the back of the head. None of the other noticed who delivered the blow, but they did give room for the guard to drop. DEBUG_HERO looked at the falling man, curious, then at the guard she was ****, he hit another man in the back of the head, smashing and breaking his club completely.

The fighting stopped, the guards were shocked at their friend's actions as he jumped at another guard, attacking him with fists. "Wonderful" a woman with pale skin and white hair said from the corner of the room, pleased, as that fucking hallucination always was. The guard's sergeant had a look of terror in his eyes, he stumbled back in horror, "Run! She's turning them!" he shouted as he pushed past three other guards who were catching their breath.

"Interesting" DEBUG_HERO said, grabbing one of the shocked men by his face and ordering "You serve me now, don't let ugly sergeant escape". She felt how instinctually she channeled some arcane energy to the man. To her pleasant surprise the man not only obeyed but bolted after the fleeing sergeant, pushing past the guards too, only one objective in his mind, stopping the sergeant.

She turned towards the exhausted guards near the doorway, one of them began to run after the sergeant and the possessed sprinter, the other two looking at her with fear in their eyes. "Do I need to make you two slaves to my will too?" She gestured behind her, to the other possessed guard who was going on a rampage on the other ones, who were exhausted but he fought lie a berserker. The guards shook their head, "How do I get out of here?" she asked them.

"Tanilov is the only one with the keys on the inside, Princess" one of the guards said, pointing at where the sergeant fled, there were screams from that direction. They cowered as she approached them, leaning over them she touched both of their cheeks, "Thank you, now kiss" she commanded and poured a small amount of arcane energy into them, the two guards raced at eachother kissing passionately like lovers who didn't see eachother for a long time. They broke it off just as fast, embarrassed looks on their faces. She strode out of the cell door.

"You need to be a little bit conservative with your channeling if you want to heal yourself afterwards" the hallucination said to DEBUG_HERO.

"It's related to how much energy I transfer into a command, correct?" She asked the hallucination instead. They were walking slowly, approaching a scene of one man on the ground, sergeant Tanilov, being mauled by the possessed guard, while the third trying his best to steal the keys from Tanilov's belt without being hit by the possessed guard.

"Yes, but also how susceptible they are to magical influence" The figment answered, she wore a nice dress DEBUG_HERO noted, nodding at the hallucination. An odd thing to notice now, especially when the scene in front of her started to become bloody as the possessed guard bit off one of Tanilov's fingers, losing a tooth in the process.

She smiled at the frantic guard who was still trying to get the keys from the now screaming sergeant, before giving him a proper fist to the temple, his head striking hard on the corridor's floor. "Hey, get off him for a moment" she said to the possessed guard, but he just continued to rampage.

"I guess I can only give one command?" DEBUG_HERO looked at the pale woman who nodded in confirmation. "Fine" she stood up and kicked the possessed guard as hard as she could in his head hearing a distinctive crack as his body went flying to the wall on the other side, so yes, she was strong.

"Okay elfbreeder" DEBUG_HERO flipped the sergeant over, who was crying and holding his bleeding hand with the other, "You know there are regulations, right?" She asked him, "There's a reason this prison was designed this way and that only the ones outside from each section have the keys to the inner area" she freed the keys from his belt, he had a look of absolute horror in his eyes. "It's to prevent prisoners from escaping because they can never open the next door from the inside". He wasn't screaming or making sound any longer, just holding his hand with his back on the floor, whimpering. "So when you bring the keys to the entire complex and bring all the guards who are on duty or on call to the cell, you're breaking regulations and essentially helping me break out" she finished, the guard had a look of complete disbelief.

It was true, she counted, the patrolling guard together with the active duty guards were in the cell, the guards on call were there plus the two who were now dead next to DEBUG_HERO and sergeant Tanilov. There was simply no one ready or expecting her outside the doors, she could've planned and plotted for years and never take into consideration that all it took was some luck and stupidity from the man who had the keys to everything.

"You had to throw everything away just for some hot piece of ass?" she asked him, her bare foot slowly coming to his crotch area, hovering above it. "I want you to know, next time I'll be back here, you are going to die" and she stomped hard, the sergeant screamed his lungs out and passed out from the pain, a small retribution, DEBUG_HERO thought.

She took the keys and unlocked the corridor to the noble's cells, there was someone there with a worried look in their eyes, she ignored them and continued to unlock the next door to the atrium. As expected there was no one there, she continued to unlock the next door, seeing a long corridor with slits in the walls to allow guards with short crossbows to shoot at any escaping prisoners who managed to get this far.

But no one was waiting for her there too, probably no one heard or paid attention to any of the screams coming from the dungeons.

She walked up to the last door, unlocking it. That was it, the next step will be the barracks and the inner courtyard, she didn't plan for any of it yet. Believing she had a bit more time, and seeing the actual breaking out as the hard part, DEBUG_HERO didn't plan for anything outside that door yet. She knew the layout but didn't know how many guards there were, the schedules, she didn't even know what the time of day it was. There is a saying that 'No plan survives contact with the enemy' but there still was some preparation done in that case, when you plan you at least know what to expect and know what is at your disposal to improvise. Outside that door there was only the unknown.

She opened the last door, stepping outside to the corridor, there was no one in it apart from a servant boy, whose mouth began to shape into a scream.
