'[Gravity Series: Gravity Blast]'
The mont Aiden chanted the spell, the security sensors of the hall imdiately picked up on the huge amounts of mana he was emitting and considered it dangerous, which in turn caused the security alarms of the hall to go off.
People were now beginning to feel uneasy by this stunt Aiden was pulling but, as if to shut down their doubts and make them aware of the situation they were in, Aiden's mana-imbued fist collided with the invisible barrier.
-BAM!!!
-Crack! Shatter!
His fists which had seemingly connected to nothing but empty space suddenly revealed a mirror-like crack in space which then shattered almost imdiately and disintegrated into dust-like particles, causing the onlookers eyes to widen in shock at the phenonon before them.
So nobles, at least the ones who were C-rankers and above among them imdiately realized the situation they had been in.
They had been trapped, and they didn't even seem to realize it!
Aiden upon smashing the invisible barrier to smithereens imdiately bolted out of the hall without even so much as an explanation.
Flynn upon watching his brother smash the barrier swiftly ran towards the center of the hall and casted his own spell upon seeing that the five people he noticed had thrown the red balls into the air.
'[Telekinetic Series: Force Field]'
As if what Aiden had done wasn't enough, people who were now becoming wary of the situation they were in, watched Flynn as he ran towards the center of the hall just as a gigantic explosion went off.
-BOOOOOM!!!
A gargantuan eruption of fiery chaos consud the hall in a massive explosion, shattering all the high rise windows and chandeliers, the towering pillars completely torn apart from it's very foundations and unleashing a tempest of debris, shattered glass and devastation.
Yet, even as all these happened and a lot of young nobles released all manners of bloodcurdling screams, panic-stricken screeches, piercing cries and terrified yells to signify their impending deaths, the dust which had been covering the hall due to the sudden explosion and tempest of pressurized winds eventually died down to reveal a pulsing green aquamarine transparent do which covered the entirety of the hall.
Within it were all the nobles without so much as a single scratch on them.
Realizing that they were all safe, they all looked around with deeply confused expressions on their faces but eventually, all of their eyes settled on a single silver-haired figure holding both of his hands as if suspended in the air.
Suddenly, they watched him drop on one of his knees while panting heavily onto to the marbled floors which had now being cracked and shattered in many different places while releasing a curse from his mouth.
"Shit! I really overestimated myself this ti!"
***
(Imdiately after Aiden left the hall…)
Aiden dashed through the long corridors of the hall, covering their lengthy distance in literal seconds.
'I really hope that Flynn stays safe!'
-Wooosh!
Aiden who still didn't stop running dashed through the adults hall without even caring that he had interrupted so many people's socialization with the imnse speed at which he dashed through the hall.
"What's a teen doing here?"
"This is very disrespectful! Interrupting us that brat!"
"Wait… Isn't that…"
Anna, Leopold and Sebastian looked at themselves and without even skipping a beat, imdiately ran after Aiden.
Aiden who had noticed that his parents were running after him increased his speed even further.
'It would be a hassle to explain right now so I have no ti to wait!'
He had now reached the reception hall and imdiately covered its wide distance within a second and bolted out of its doors without even stopping.
He then looked around and just like he and Flynn had surmised a few months back, it turned out that their thoughts had been correct.
There were no guards at the front of the main entrance of the hall.
Aiden and Flynn had a discussion a few months prior to this day.
They had both wondered how a place as secure as the Royal Family's banquet hall had been infiltrated by the mbers of Obelisk.
After pondering and thinking over it for days on end, they ca to the conclusion that the only way sothing like that must've happened was if the guards had been in on it.
They were the ones who allowed for entrance into the hall so if they had purposely played the part and sneaked in a few of their mbers in, then there wouldn't have been anyway for anyone to notice a thing.
However, that still left a single question.
Did so noble families join hands with Obelisk?
It was highly unlikely that that was the case because even till the eventual extermination of Arcadia and eventually, all of humanity, noble families never joined hands with Obelisk even once in the novel.
But still, both of them decided to not completely eliminate that thought process.
Discarding those thoughts however for the anti, had led Flynn to co to a singular thought.
One of those Obelisk bastards who infiltrated the hall was proficient in the use of [Illusion Series].
Aiden however had countered that thought by explaining that it could never be the case because the sensors in the hall would've picked up on it when it was casted, even if said person had done it before or after entering the hall.
So, Flynn revised his thought and made a more believable theory.
The guards who were guarding the halls, or probably one of them, was a proficient user of the [Illusion Series].
As a result, the sensors will not be able to pick up on it because the person who activated the spell was not present in the hall so everything would appear normal to it. Even technology has its flaws.
'We were right! There really are no guards here!'
Those were Aiden's thought as he rushed down the staircase.
'Whoever it was who was inside the hall must've sent a signal to these guys that he was about to blow up the hall, causing them to leave before anyone else caught up to it. That definitely ans that by now, they were not out of the vicinity just yet!' Aiden inwardly continued.
As soon as he reached the last steps of the staircase, he imdiately ran towards the parking lot and lo and behold, there were two guards who were about to get onto different vehicles just a few ters ahead of him.
One was about to climb a red futuristic motorcycle while the other had already ignited the engines of the hover car he was in.
"Got you, you bastards!" Aiden muttered and imdiately casted a spell afterwards.
'[Gravity Series: Suction] !!'
"W-What the hell is going on!!!" the guard that was about to start the motorcycle shouted as he felt himself being drawn towards a black-haired teen that seemingly appeared out of nowhere.
The guard who was in the hover car however, imdiately began to drive without even caring about his accomplice, the circular holes which were present beneath the hover car where the tires were supposed to be, pulsing with energy as he drove off.
Aiden grabbed on to the head of the guard which he pulled towards him and in one swift motion, jamd his head into the concrete of the floor, causing a small hole to form beneath his head and effectively putting him out of commission.
The spell had also pulled so cars and the sleek futuristic-looking motorcycle towards him but he wasn't really concerned about that. The person he wanted to catch was about to get away.
"Tch! He's getting away!" Aiden said with a frustrated tone and frown as he watched the other guard drive off.
"I can't let him get away!"
Aiden began to look around but imdiately realized that there were no cars that were unlocked.
He then settled his eyes on the red futuristic motorcycle before him with the keys already in the ignition.
'Can I drive this?' he asked himself.
Although Aiden had experience driving cars and motorcycles in his past life due to the many types of part-ti delivery jobs he did to sustain both himself and Flynn, he was really unsure of whether he could actually drive this futuristic-looking motorcycle.
"Screw this! It's not like I have a choice!" Aiden resolutely said as he got onto the motorcycle and ignited its engine.
'It's a bit weird but I can definitely manage' he inwardly said to himself after igniting its engine.
-Vroom! Vroom! Vroooooom!
The sleek looking futuristic machine purred to life with a rhythmic hum, it's engine emitting a symphony of smooth vibrations and low rumblings, akin to a contented feline.
Aiden smiled at this and imdiately drove out of the corner where vehicles were parked in while following the silhouette of the hover car in the distance that the other guard had drove off in.
-BOOOOOM!
"What the hell is going on!!!" Sebastian muttered in shock and confusion as he, Anna and Leopold felt the strong vibrations of what seed to be a big explosion.
"I have a very bad feeling about this!" Anna said while opening the doors of the main entrance, her tone laced with imnse worry.
Anna, Leopold and Sebastian finally made it to the main entrance of the hall and watched Aiden drive off while effortlessly gliding through the open road on what seed to be a red motorcycle.
Aiden upon noticing them shouted at the top of his lungs as he drove off.
"Mum! Dad! Uncle Baz! Check up on Flynn! I'll explain everything once I get back!"
"Where did he even learn how to drive that…" Sebastian muttered to himself in confusion again.
'This weird sense of deja-vu…' Leopold thought to himself as he watched his son drive off into the distance.
He then promptly tapped on his smartwatch and contacted Frank who was near their limousine present at the other far end of the parking lot while giving him the order to go after Aiden.
"Anna! He'll be fine! I've contacted Frank. Let's go check up on Flynn as he requested of us" Leopold said to his wife.
"O-Okay…" Anna said worriedly, still with an imnsely disturbed look on her face as she heard the sound of the motorcycle Aiden took off in, humming in the distance.
