Chapter 348
348 Planting the seeds of chaos [2]
BANG— BANG—
A loud metallic sound rang as an energy blast shot towards a large metal door.
The sound rang in the air for a brief moment before it disappeared completely. What followed after was the cacophonous sound of several alarms ringing, completely drowning out the banging sounds that ensued after repetitive attacks towards the metallic door.
"Step to the side."
Seeing that the attacks were not working, a duergar stepped up.
Holding onto a large metallic barrel in-between his armpits, the duergar channeled his mana towards it. Soon, spherical orbs of mana agglomerated towards the center of the barrel, forming a concentrated ball of energy.
The threatening energy expanded in the hall as it steadily increased in size.
Before long, once the ball reached a certain size, the duergar firmly planted both of his feet on the ground and discharged the energy.
BOOOM—!
What followed after was a terrifying blast that shot towards the massive metal door. A colorful trail of mana traced behind the attack.
Once the attack connected with the door, a thunderous sound rang out, and smoke diffused in the air.
"Did it work?"
The duergar who shot the attack wondered out loud as he tried to see through the large cloud of smoke.
"It's no use. The door is designed to withstand the impacts of
Before the duergar could get a proper look, a cold and apathetic voice spoke from behind.
Turning to the direction where the voice came from, the duergar's face paled considerably.
"L-Lord!"
"Stay put."
Scanning the metal door, the mood of the duergar elder sank.
"Damn it."
Placing his palm on the door, the elder circulated the mana inside of his body towards the palm of his hand and closed his eyes. He was trying to gauge what was going on inside the room.
While the elder was busy, the duergars behind him stood silently with their backs straight, not daring to mouth a single word.
After a while, opening his eyes, the elder's face relaxed a little.
"He's still alive…"
After having scanned the internal structure of the room, although he wasn't able to tell what exactly was going on inside, he could tell that there were two people alive.
Out of the two, one was a demon and the other was Karl.
Recognizing Karl's mana signature, the elder was able to tell that he was still alive. At this revelation, he felt a lot more relaxed. As long as he was alive, all was good.
"Hm?"
However, apart from those two energies, he felt no other energy. This meant only one thing.
Every single researcher inside had been killed.
'Why did a demon betray us?'
The elder wondered as his brows tightly knit in consternation.
For the perpetrator to be a demon, no wonder the Duergars assigned to Karl had failed to protect him. Nobody would have seen it coming.
—How is the situation going on your side?
It was then that a voice suddenly entered the elder's ears.
Completely unfazed by the voice, the elder tapped on his ear and responded in a calm tone, "Karl is still alive. However, he is currently being held hostage inside of the room with a demon."
—A demon?
The voice sounded a bit surprised. It quickly followed up with a question.
—So you're saying that the one responsible for this is a demon?
"That is correct."
The elder darkly replied.
