The Author's POV

Chapter 277

Amidst the chaos, glancing at my watch, I ran towards a certain section of the first level. From what I've observed, the people that had infiltrated the Monolith were targeting the general portals.

The ones that everyone used.

On a good note, those were not the portals that I was aiming for. On a bad note, I could more or less tell that they were planning on blowing up this place. The plan was fairly obvious, I was sure that the Monolith had understood this as well.

'Damn it, I don't have much time at my disposal.'

Ignoring all of the chaos around me, following the map on my phone, I quickly made my way towards the area where the private portal was. Time was not on my side. If they were truly hell-bent on blowing up the portals, then I really had to hurry.

"As expected, there are only a few people here."

Arriving before the designated location, glancing left and right, I noticed that the security was fairly lax.

My original plan was to pretend to be the commander using the mask to then directly enter the portal. The problem regarding his build wasn't actually a problem, I still had a few gigantifying potions from Immorra.

The only reason I had not used them back then, was because I wanted Luther to actually notice me.

Risky, but it paid off.

Either way, that plan was now no longer viable. With the Monolith under attack, everything changed.

Hiding behind a wall, and peeking right, I looked up and glanced at the cameras in the distance.

After that, I looked below them.

'Good, there are only two guards.'

Guarding an enormous metal door were two guards whose strength was about the same as mine, around the rank range. Under normal circumstances, there would've been stronger guards guarding the place, but these weren't normal circumstances.

The stronger guards had probably left their post in order to aid the people guarding the general gate.

Though this made them look sloppy, in reality, this wasn't a real problem. Without the special pass, even if the invaders tried to brute force the way into the room that led to the portal, they wouldn't be able to get in. The materials used to make the doors were something that even ranked would have difficulty breaking.

Thus, the decision to leave those two weaker guards to guard the place was the right decision given the circumstances.

And this perfectly aligned with my plans.

"huuu..."

Closing my eyes, and exhaling, with the aid of the chip inside of my head, my brain started processing all of the information that I had just observed.

'The distance between me and the guards is more than ten meters, this I can't use the third movement. This is a bit of a problem since I don't want to alert the others of my presence...there's also another problem I need to take care of."

Because I specialized in sneak attacks, as long as my opponent wasn't way stronger than me or reacted faster than my swords, killing them wouldn't really pose a problem for me.

There was only one problem though.

Peeking right, I glanced at the cameras that were above the two guards.

The cameras.

The biggest problem at the moment was the cameras. If I wanted to use the Keiki style, I had to make sure that I removed all evidence of it.

By now, everyone knew that Ren Dover was the inheritor of the Keiki style. This was without a doubt something that everyone knew as it had been broadcasted to the whole world during the tournament. What they also knew was that I was dead.

If the Monolith suddenly spotted 876 using the Keiki style, then finding out about my real identity wouldn't really be a problem. If that were to truly happen, all hell would break loose for me.

'I can't let that happen.'

Just imagining the consequences of such revelation, caused the back of my hair to raise. Taking a deep breath, a look of resolution flashed across my eyes.

'Even if this removes the element of surprise and makes things harder for me, I don't want to leave anything that would come back and bite me in the future.'

Grabbing a couple of sharp objects from my dimensional space, squinting, and aiming for the cameras in the distance, I flicked my fingers, and the objects shot towards the cameras in the distance like bullets.

'”WHIIIIIZ!

The moment I flicked my fingers, stomping my foot on the ground, I quickly dashed towards the two guards in the distance.
