Chapter 393  C393. Secret Base

The tunnels beneath town had been initially designed for the Royal household’s use and thus, had been stored secret from the remainder of the lots. Therefore why that they had not been maintained for many years now but Blane and Bam didn’t discover its present state to be too dangerous.

It was clear the tunnels had been nonetheless in use even now, or a minimum of, the tunnels resulting in the underground storage unit they had been simply in. That means, these tunnels had been getting used for the transportation of that drug’s predominant ingredient.

After leaving the storage unit housing the Mana shards and strolling for some time, Blane— who led the group as their vanguard, abruptly stopped as he felt his sense of route was being skewed.

“One thing unsuitable?”

Blane turned to look on the pair strolling behind him and shook his head as he continued strolling with out saying a single phrase.

He may now vaguely sense the consequences of a strong concealment spell that was presently energetic throughout them however it appears the 2 behind him had been unable to sense its results.

Within the presence of such highly effective historical magic, telling the others may find yourself exposing them to hazard somewhat than growing their consciousness. As they had been already being affected by the spell, he could not make certain what phrases they’d hear from his mouth.

Nonetheless, the truth that they had been nonetheless following carefully behind him meant their sight was not but being affected so conserving his mouth shut was the most suitable choice on this scenario.

He may inform that finding the underground cell once more can be an issue however that could not cease him from monitoring the enemy base.

He was presently utilizing a bit of clothes from one of many useless our bodies as a conduit in finding their base and so long as he adopted the Mana path and stored an in depth eye on the others, they’d not get deceived by the concealment spell.

Nevertheless, that they had solely walked for about 10 minutes once they stumbled on a useless finish.

“It is a useless finish.”

“We will all see that child.”

“Oh proper, my dangerous.”

“Unfold out and search for something that is likely to be a clue.”

“Proper.”

Blane frowned inwardly, his monitoring spell pointed straight forward so there was no mistake about this on his half however that did not change the truth that there was a stable wall in entrance of them.

After looking round for a bit, they quickly situated a lever on the proper nook of the tunnel and Bam curiously pulled it earlier than Blane may cease him.

The wall in entrance of them moved apart, revealing a dimly lit hallway with flickering lamps on the wall.Blane glared at Bam who awkwardly scratched the again of his helmet barely embarrassed.

Blane sighed and gave the sign for Kate to attend behind and defend this entrance Incase anybody was capable of escape from them. He then turned to Bam and spoke critically.

“Pay attention Bam, we should always kill everybody from right here onwards. I haven’t got something to bind them with, and in the event that they increase the alarm we’ll be in hassle. Even when we knock them out, they may get up. Underneath the circumstances, it is simply too dangerous to attempt to subdue a location we do not know something about… is one thing unsuitable?”

“Ah, no, it is nothing.”

Bam shook his head to ward off his uneasiness. His coronary heart pounded in his chest, however he tried his finest to disregard it.

“Forgive me. I am alright over right here. Able to go at any time.”

? ? ? ? ? ? ?, ? ? ? ? ? ? ?.

“Actually? …Hm, seems to be like I used to be underestimating you, forgive me.”

“Oh please, you do not have to apologize for something. My face doesn’t scream confidence, to start with.”

“I see… You have been performing unusual ever since this mission began, however you have acquired a decided face on you now. I do perceive how you’re feeling, giving as this isn’t the kind of mission you are used to and we would encounter a strong enemy. Nonetheless, don’t fret. I am right here. There’s additionally no have to struggle to the loss of life, we’re solely right here to research in spite of everything.”

Blane patted Bam on the again and walked into the corridor. This was the primary time he had ever spoken to Bam so casually since he arrived and Bam may perceive why.

He clutched his weapon tightly and adopted carefully behind.

They’d solely walked for just a few extra minutes when the sound of heavy footsteps got here from behind the door to their proper of the hallway. Then they heard the sound of locks disengaging — three, to be exact.

The 2 instantly paused and readied their weapons.

Within the on the spot the door opened, Bam slammed his total physique weight into the door, rooting all the factor off its hinges, and earlier than he may even stand as much as end off the man on the ground, Blane was already carried out dispatching the remaining and his blade got here piercing by means of the man’s cranium.

Concurrently, there have been sounds of our bodies dropping to the bottom like lifeless puppets as Blane pulled out his one-edged blade and swung it within the air to get the blood and mind matter out.

Bam was left speechless as he raised his head to see all the room now virtually empty, over six headless our bodies on the bottom with their heads rolling subsequent to them.

‘What the hell simply occurred.’

Bam was fully dumbfounded. He had all the time recognized that Blane was stronger than him but he had by no means anticipated the distinction between them to be so huge it virtually appeared limitless.

His thoughts was pulled again collectively by a voice that made an analogous sound because the one he was making in his thoughts.

There was another individual left alive inside the room, a demihuman in leather-based armor and carrying a brief sword. Bam knew why this one had been left alive and whereas he felt ashamed to obtain such handouts, he couldn’t complain as he instantly rushed him and closed the space right away.

“Ah! Who the hell are you?!”

The person stabbed at Bam together with his blade, however Bam simply deflected it together with his sword.

After that, Bam raised his sword excessive and introduced it down on the person from above.

The person tried to dam it together with his sword, however a mere quick sword couldn’t stand up to a strike with Bam’s full weight behind it. Bam’s sword snapped the quick sword in half and his blade sank into the person’s shoulder, carving by means of his larynx.

The person cried out in ache as he collapsed to the bottom. Blood gushed out of his open wound as his opponent twitched and spasmed on the bottom as he lay dying.

Bam rushed deeper into the room, driving the circulation of the battle whereas remaining alert. No enemies got here out of hiding to satisfy him. He may hear Blane operating up the steps to the primary flooring behind him. This was clearly the underground base of the identical group that was producing the drug so there should not be any operations happening within the higher flooring however there might be enemies all the identical.

Nonetheless, he had to verify there have been no enemies left alive right here earlier than he moved on to the subsequent room.

A minute handed.

Having checked their assigned flooring and glad themselves that there have been no different enemies, Bam and Blane met on the entrance.

“I went over the primary flooring, however I did not see any enemies.”

“Identical right here. With the variety of folks we discovered right here, this does not appear to be the bottom of the Secret Order as anticipated. I reckon this may simply be a brief hideout of a brand new group.”

“Chances are you’ll be proper. There appears to be an extension to the highest flooring that results in different buildings that is likely to be the duvet of this group. If that is the case, then there ought to be a hidden entrance to the place they’re operating their operation from.”

Blane spoke as he walked in the direction of one of many partitions within the room, his eyes keenly looking for any hidden doorways they may’ve missed.

Bam had not discovered any thief expertise, so he couldn’t detect secret doorways simply by wanting, so he merely needed to depend on Blane whereas remaining alert In case of hidden enemies.

After looking the varied rooms for some time, a secret door was abruptly triggered and the big portray on the wall moved to the facet to disclose a slim passageway that prolonged deep into the wall.

“What do you suppose?”

“Looks like a complete completely different part of the bottom. This place may simply be right here to idiot their enemies and their true base of operations may simply be on the opposite facet.”

“That is present. I am going to go first, after I get to the opposite facet, I’ll sign you to make your approach there as nicely.”

“Understood.”

Blane moved swiftly by means of the passageway, he did not appear to be anxious about any traps, maybe he possessed a talent for sensing traps which was why he had determined to go first.

After what appeared to be greater than a minute, Bam acquired the sign and dashed by means of the slim passage. If he had been to be ambushed in such a good house, he did not suppose he would have the ability to totally defend himself as his preventing model was ill-suited to such cramped areas.

After attending to the opposite facet, he got here to an open room with no items of furnishings however a bunch of huge work that appeared precious on the partitions. There gave the impression to be stone slaps with uncommon objects on either side of the room.

There was additionally a big door on the opposite facet of the room the place he may sense the presence of a single particular person behind that door.

“I am positive you may sense the presence of somebody behind there. You wait right here, we do not need to go dashing into the enemy base. I am going to use stealth and Examine additional in case there may be somebody too robust for us to deal with.”

“Proper! Understood.”

Earlier than Bam may totally not his head, Blane’s physique slowly grew to become clear as he sank into his shadow and disappeared fully.

Bam additionally did his finest to cover his aura and rein in his presence as he noticed the room he was left alone in.

Strolling to the stone slaps at either side, there have been objects like vases, crowns, and gauntlets however even somebody as inexperienced in valuables as him may inform that these had been all fakes and even the work seems to be copies however that was to be anticipated.

He did not suppose any self respecting legal group would so carelessly show precious objects like these in such a shabby place, even when this was a secret base.

Though he needed to admit, even when these work had been fakes, they had been probably the most aesthetically pleasing artwork piece he had ever seen in his life, and he had spent the previous couple of months residing within the Emerald palace.

That was as a result of, these work all depicted probably the most superb and exquisite landscapes of constructing and cities he may by no means think about in any lifetime. He could not discover the phrases to explain what he was taking a look at as he could not even comprehend the idea of such unimaginable buildings.

‘The cities of creativeness. How attention-grabbing.’

Bam spent a number of seconds admiring the artwork work when he abruptly shook his head and snapped out of his daze. He could not afford to get distracted in such a spot.

He then walked over to the portray and commenced to check them carefully. Because the hidden passage that led right here had been hidden behind a portray, he wished to verify these didn’t conceal any extra hidden passages.

He positioned his ear to the portray and listened, inserting a knock on every of them as Blane had carried out to substantiate if it was certainly hole inside.

As he moved round repeating the motion again and again, the sounds of foot steps abruptly rang in his ears. Bam’s coronary heart skipped a beat as he jolted right into a preventing stance and traced the place that sound was coming from.

To his shock, it was coming from the passage from which that they had initially entered.

Seconds later, a person slowly emerged from the passageway simply as Bam was shocked with shock.

Chilly sweat poured down Bam’s again as the person’s aura flooded the room.His metallic armor appears to develop a thoughts of their very own as they tightly gripped onto his physique for pricey life.

“Ahhh…. you have to be one of many intruders. Are you additionally one of many ones that destroyed that silly Viscount’s mansion? If that’s the case, what occurred to Quantity 10? Was she captured or killed? Do let you know’re dying to know.”
