Chapter 30: Escape (2)

Chapter 30: Escape (2)

Inside a building, countless security personnel were standing around while holding different weapons as they looked at a portal warily.

"Prepare yourselves."

The security personnel leading them said quietly, raising his hand.

"We've just received a crimson-level designation from the higher-ups. We don't know the specific details but a crimson-level designation is guaranteed to be dangerous."

"Right now, every branch is guarding their portal. Death is a high possibility. Sorcerers, go to the back and prepare to cast your spells. Hunters, go behind the Combat Mages."

At the back formation, the Sorcerers with wands and staff nodded calmly. While the Hunters with guns and weapons followed his orders resolutely.

The Combat Mages, the strongest force in the room, nodded apprehensively.

'It's rare to mobilize such a great force. So this is a crimson-level designation.'

The leading security guard nodded pensively.

Buzz!

At that moment, the portal suddenly buzzed.

Everyone paused and held their breaths, the Sorcerers ready to react, the Hunters ready to press the trigger, and the Combat Mages ready to attack directly.

Roll…

However, different from their expectations, several metal orbs suddenly spat out from the portal and rolled towards them.

"What.."

The leading security guard's squinted his eyes before his expression immediately changed, just as he was about to signal a retreat—

Boom!

The metal orbs exploded!

At that moment, the leading security guard was blasted to the ends of the room while countless security guards flew and slammed into the walls, falling unconscious.

Heavy smoke abruptly drifted around the place, turning the room into a foggy ruin. Amidst the chaos, six shadows silently appeared at the portal.

They were: Elias, Donato, Galilei, Junior, Taurus, and Alexus!

Elias silently observed the heavy fog with a complex expression before shaking his head. He walked forward with a cold gaze.

"We don't have time. Kill those who remain standing."

Donato and the rest tersely nodded. Killing was second nature to them, they were more surprised of their young master's resolution to kill.

At that moment, at the end of the room, the leading security guard finally recovered from the explosion and shouted.

"The enemies are here! Be careful!"

Galilei and the rest snorted and immediately acted. They turned into a faint blur, dashing in through the fog. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗o𝚟𝚎𝚕.org

In one area.

Galilei appeared in the fog and reached the nearest dazed security personnel. The security personnel was a C Rank combat mage with a sword as a weapon.

Combat Mages was one of the three Ranker professions. They were usually the strongest force in any organization, they were people adept at both magic and fighting.

Normally, such a formidable person would be a great trouble for their group, unfortunately, the bombs that Elias used were unique and different.

They were made by Goblin and could even deal severe damage and stun effect to a C Rank ranker, for below those, they were either blasted apart or directly fell unconscious.

That's why, the majority of the Hunters and Sorcerers in the formation were blasted unconscious. Simply put, they were E-D Rankers.

Galilei raised his hand, striking the security guard's stomach and easily making them choke and fall to the ground unconscious.

In the other areas, Taurus, Junior, and Alexus also quickly took the other combat mages down and made them fall unconscious.

As soon as they finished their task, they immediately came back to Elias.

"We can't escape to this exit. It's full of their reinforcements, let's go to the upper floors."

Elias had a grim expression and signaled them to follow. He looked at the side and immediately ran to the nearby stairs to the next floor.

Thump! Thump!

At that moment, countless footsteps resounded. At the end of the room, the reinforcement came trailing behind the leading security guard.

The leading security guard stood up with difficulty and gritted his teeth, shouting loudly.

"Fire! This smoke… different. It interferes with our mana senses! We can't find out anything about them!"

"Just keep firing! I'd like to see how they could escape with us here in the exit!"

Not doubting his words, the countless security guards had a change of expression and immediately took their firearms to shoot at the heavy fog, causing countless gunshots to echo.

Kachak!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"..."

However, after a few rounds of shooting, the leading security guard realized that they weren't hitting anything at all.

And soon enough, as the heavy smoke dispersed, they were greeted with the sight of their fellow workmate's unconscious bodies.

Some were bloodied, but we're severely injured and no longer able to nattle. While some were dead, no longer breathing. But most importantly, there was no enemy in sight.

"They escaped!"

The leading security guard said with a grim expression.

"They couldn't have gone beyond us. Hurry up to the second floor, while some of you call for more / reinforcements!"

***

Second Floor.

Elias and the group continued to run, with dozens of security guards chasing after them.

"Shoot them!"

"They're the enemies."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

However, it was for naught as Galilei stood behind Elias and wielded a sword, swinging it gracefully as he cut the dozens of bullets coming their way.

"Damn it! They have a strong combat mage!"

"It doesn't matter! Sorcerers!"

At that moment, fire, lightning, and water spells launched toward their group. However, Taurus blocked the spells with a grunt.

Seeing that it dealt no damage, the Sorcerers were about to stake greater effort to unleash a greater spell.

"Don't. The building will collapse if you use a stronger spell! Let them run. They're going nowhere, anyways."

Without their interference, Elias and the group ran faster, reaching the third-floor stairway while they followed behind.

***

With their focus concentrated on escaping, Elias and the group quickly passed the second, third, and fourth floors and finally the fifth floor.

They reached the last stairway towards the rooftop.

The leading security guard chasing after them stopped and shouted loudly.

"Surrender now! You have no way out!"

"If you surrender, you'll get a lighter sentence! It's futile—"

Ignoring them, Elias sneered and signaled the group to follow him to the rooftop. They quickly followed.

'We're at a dead end.'

Along the way, Elias sighed and shook his head before his eyes flashed a glint.

'But that's okay… everything is all according to plan.'

At that moment, Elias and the group finally reached the rooftop, stopping at a locked door. He took out the master key and immediately unlocked the door to the rooftop.

Afterward, he pushed open the door and saw the rooftop.

"Gentlemen, this is our escape plan."

Elias' lips curled into a smirk while Donato and the rest widened their eyes in surprise.

In the middle of the rooftop, a helicopter was situated.

***

On the fifth floor, the leading security guard felt bewildered and uneasy all of a sudden. With his experience, he immediately decided.

"Go, let's follow them to the rooftop."

Shortly after, they bypassed the stairways and reached the rooftop, stopping in front of the locked door.

'The door is locked, then where are they…'

The leading security guard frowned before immediately opening the rooftop door. He pushed it open and his eyes squinted in surprise.

Something was missing.

"Did anyone use the heli—"

One of the security guards gasped and pointed at the air, shouting loudly.

"Leader, look! Isn't that… isn't that our helicopter?!"

"You're… huh?!"

At that moment, everyone followed where he was pointing at. The leader along with security guards widened their eyes

in shock.

In the sky, a helicopter flew. It trailed behind the clouds, rapidly distancing itself.

'That's our… helicopter.'

The leader was stunned and fell into a daze.
