The Author's POV
Chapter 329
"Angus!?"
Jomnuk and Waylan cried out in shock, flabbergasted at the scene presented before them. Their disbelieving looks gave out the betrayal they felt. The shock was too great.
"Heh, surprised?"
Smirking, Angus looked at them from a safe distance.
BANG!
Before Waylan could do anything, the door of the hideout shot wide open and several blue-skinned dwarves emerged out of nowhere.
"Angus!"
In a tone full of anger, Waylan waved his hand and formed a small barrier around the few individuals who could not defend themselves. Even though he was alarmed by the sudden turn of events, he managed to keep calm.
"Don't panic. As long as I'm here, you will all be safe. Stay calm. There will be back up," At that point, Waylan was unsure if he was saying it to the rest or himself. His words felt empty to himself. He did not think that his chances of survival were high.
Not only was he surrounded by a hit squad of duergars, but the poison in his body had also begun to act fast. He wasn't sure, but it might have been due to his movements and casting. Although it wasn't anything serious, it rapidly drained his mana.
Being without mana in this situation was tantamount to suicide.
"It's no use. I've sealed all forms of communication. Your backup call will go unanswered."
A triumphant smirk emerged on Angus's face as he moved next to a couple of duergars. They each held large gun-like devices.
"You damn traitor…"
Cursing out loud, Waylan glared at Angus.
"To think that you were a spy. I'll have to be honest, you'd be the last person I'd suspect," Spitting at Angus, Waylan was incensed.
From how uptight and trustworthy he seemed, people wouldn't consider Angus a suspect at first. His cover was both simple and effective. As much as Waylan hated to admit it, Angus's acts as the mother of the group had slightly affected even him. He'd let his guard down.
Lifting his head, Waylan muttered dejectedly, "I see. So the reason why we weren't able to detect the poison in the food was because you had purposely rigged the device."
"That's correct."
Angus looked towards the few duergars that had shown up.
Each and every single one of them was extremely powerful, almost rivaling Waylan in terms of strength when put together.
"We've spent a ton of resources trying to infiltrate this place. Who would've expected that just when we thought that it wasn't possible for us, you would select our group for being a part of the protection mission? You wouldn't understand my happiness even if you tried. Ah, how happy I was…"
"Shut up." Gritting his teeth, Waylan decided to shut Angus's mouth. Permanently.
Since he knew that he was pressed for time, Waylan decided to go all out from the get go. Although he had wasted a little bit of time listening to Angus talk, Waylan had managed to grasp the situation and form a plan of action.
Small-time crooks loved to monologue.
Turning around while looking at the others, Waylan clenched his hand and a small barrier enveloped each of the individuals present behind him.
Ren and Jomnuk also had a small barrier enveloping their body.
"Don't get out of the barrier. It's the safest place you can possibly be at the moment."
He reminded.
Then, turning his attention towards the squad of duergers, Waylan punched out.
Vooom—!
Instantly, a whistling sound arose. Like a thunderclap, Waylan's fist explosively shot forward, forming a pressurized ball of wind that shot towards the duergars direction.
Staring at the incoming attack, Angus remained calm.
With his hand behind his back, he looked towards the duergars next to him and ordered in a serious tone.
"Activate the artifact."
The duergars each simultaneously tapped on their right chest. The moment their hands touched it, a small light shot out, converging in front of them.
In an instant, a thin, translucent, black barrier formed in front of them.
BANG—!
Right as the barrier formed, Waylan's attack connected, and a thunderous sound resounded across the room.
