The Author's POV

Chapter 838

Boom—! Boom—!

It was the sound of two massive explosions that reverberated from two opposite ends that startled the commander out of his mood as his head immediately snapped upwards.

"What happened?"

He had just left the premises to go inspect the other areas when, all of a sudden, two massive explosions happened.

The commander was able to deduce from the degree to which the environment was shaken that the explosions were not something to be taken lightly, and his expression changed to one of grave concern.

[Commander! Commander! There's an emergency!]

A panicked voice reached his ears. Trying his best to remain calm, the commander spoke.

"Report to me what's going on."

[Two explosions happened. One in the lower quarter, where the lower end prisoners are trapped, and one in the higher quarter. Star Unit 5.]

"Star Unit 5…?"

[Make the demons check the room.]

Overhearing the exact location of where the explosions had occurred, the commander's frown deepened, and all of a sudden, his face stiffened.

"It can't be…"

Pinching his chin, his foot unknowingly began to tap against the ground, and he quickly tried to contact the soldiers that were in charge of carrying the two prisoners.

"Star Unit 5 – Delta Squad, please communicate with me."

[…]

"Star Unit 5 – Delta Squad, please communicate with me. One quick word is enough. I need confirmation of your vitality status."

[…]

"Star Unit 5 – Delta Squad, please communicate with me…"

[…]

It was much to his disappointment that none of them answered, and the commander knew that something was wrong.

"Communicating with all available squads within Star Unit 5... Communicating with all available squads within Star Unit 5… Communicating with all available squads within Star Unit 5..."
