Each of the four guards was wearing thick tal armor pieces on their bodies. Their shoulder guards had tal spikes coming out of them, and they wore tal knuckles with small spikes that they could use to deal more damage if they had to use their fists, but thanks to the system, a person couldn't gain the attribute boosts from two different weapons at once, only in cases where a person was holding two similar weapons, like two swords, two daggers … would that happen.
That led Reign and the others to believe that the knuckles were either there just to give them more options for battle, or they were a part of the armor they wore.
The tal pieces of the armor shielded their vitals mostly, the armor didn't go down to the legs and there was a big tal piece covering the front of the torso. The armor pieces were gray, with red lines that were seemingly spray painted.
They also wore tal helts, and from what Reign could sense, all four were Tier III combatants.
The number of people passing nearby was very low since the basent entrance was at the far side of the base and there was nothing here for people to do, that allowed Reign and the others for more options when it ca to picking how to handle this situation.
The disappearance of the guards will be noticed for sure, but so will the disappearance of the boss of the base who was currently in the basent. The door leading to the basent was a thick steel door and opening it was impossible for Reign and the others as it functioned the sa as the entrance to the base, which ant that they would have to destroy it in order to move down to the basent.
"Wait, do we really need to go down by using the door?" Wolf suddenly asked, making Reign and Elijah look at him weirdly.
"Well, the basent is below us, so can't we just do the sa thing we did before, just cut a hole and go down?"
"We could, but I can't sense anything down there, even when I try to sense any souls, it's as if sothing is blocking as I can sense way too much down there."
"What do you an you can sense too much?" Wolf and Elijah looked at Reign who simply shook his head.
"Just like I said, it's as if there are thousands of people down there, my senses are completely blocked and I can't pinpoint anyone, sa goes for mana."
"That's not good, boy, for soone to sense so many souls below, sothing bad is going on." Aethion suddenly spoke out as Reign simply nodded at his words, fully agreeing to them.
Whatever was going on in the basent was bad news. Sothing like this had never happened to Reign, which made him a bit nervous.
"Well, we can deal with the guards, but we will still need to get past the door, at least if we cut a hole, we can imdiately go down there, if anyone spots us, we can do our best to finish them as quickly as possible so no alarm gets activated," Wolf said as Reign and Elijah nodded at him.
Right now, that was the best option for them, not to ntion that they had already spent quite so ti in the base and Shadow and the others were bound to be getting a bit nervous and worried about them.
"Let's do it, from what we already know, the basent is massive and stretches out for the entirety of the base, so parts going even further, so we can choose any place to make our hole, but we should probably do it in one of the nearby offices as they are empty most of the ti, that should give us enough ti to make a hole and then cover it back up." Reign said before he and the other two made their way to a nearby office and waited for about 2 minutes for the only person inside to leave.
Wolf then took out his sword and stabbed the ground. His sword was the strongest weapon the group had, and his ability made it lt through the floor easily as the sword beca bright orange from the incredible heat of Wolf's flas.
Cutting the hole only took Wolf a couple of seconds, and right after the hole was made and the piece of the floor fell down, Reign made his way down, his lightning flickering around him as he made his way to the bottom before the tal piece and grabbed it. He imdiately looked around, and upon seeing nobody, he breathed out a sigh of relief before Wolf and Elijah jumped down.
Reign and Elijah quickly used their weapons in order to get up the wall as the ceiling in the basent was 4 ters high. They made their way up and held the tal part in place before Wolf used his flas to lt it together.
Wolf had placed a cloth on the surface that blocked the hole they had made, and right on top of it, he placed a desk, with so luck, it would take people a long ti to notice what they had done.
As they finished that, they all started making their way deeper inside the basent, and for the next couple of minutes, they saw nobody walking through the halls.
The walls around them were made out of cent and there were lights lighting up the place. The lights were of course operated by mana, they were made out of glass and a mana crystal was inside of it.
There were no rooms, no doors, nothing present in the basent, just a bunch of hallways that they were walking through.
'Why make this basent so complicated and large, wouldn't a smaller one be much more useful?' Elijah asked as Reign and Wolf nodded at his words, fully agreeing to them. Unfortunately, they also had no idea why the basent was like this. That was until a couple of more minutes passed and they heard the sounds of footsteps.
Two n appeared in front of them, each one dressed in rags and running. They seed weak, a bit malnourished, and beaten up. Just by glancing at them, none of the three believed that they were mbers of any gang.
"Get over here!" An angry voice suddenly yelled out as a chain appeared behind the two. The chain wrapped itself around the foot of one of the n who fell down before being dragged back.
The other one continued running while the one that was being dragged back scread, yelled, and cried, begging the ones behind to release him.
Reign and the others looked shocked at what was happening as another person appeared and ran after the one that was getting away. The man was dressed in a coat, but one made out of leather. Blood stained most of his body as he had a cleaver in his hand. As he looked at the man who was running away, he licked his lips with glee before suddenly stopping.
"Elijah, get the guy that ran away, Wolf, kill those that are behind this bastard." Reign said as his hand was clenching the throat of the man dressed in a leather coat. The man struggled, even tried to hit Reign with the cleaver, but only found his hand broken upon doing so.
Reign lifted him up and stared at him with anger before breaking his neck and collecting his soul.
"Aethion."
"On it."
Elijah quickly managed to overtake the man who was running away, but the man was panicking and Elijah could do nothing else but grab him and take him back to Reign and the others by force while trying to placate him, promising that they were here to help and wouldn't hurt him.
The man only cald down when he saw the dead body of the man who used a cleaver. He then saw a fat corpse being thrown a couple of ters in front of Reign as Wolf arrived with the other man.
"You two, speak, what the hell is going on here?" Reign asked the two who were shaking. Their minds were still spinning and they were incoherent.
"I don't think they will give us any answer until they fully calm down, I just don't know if we have ti for that, the disappearance of these two will be noticed," Wolf said before he used his flas to light the two corpses on fire. There was no sll of cooked at as he had imdiately used the hottest flas he could to turn them to ash.
"I know." Reign said as he crouched down.
"Listen, go to the end, to where the stairs are, but do not go up, there are enemies up there and they will hurt you if they see you, just wait at the stairs, we will co there soon, alright?" Reign asked the two who were staring up at him before nodding at him.
"Don't go up, alright, you got that, you can't go up, you'll die if you do." Reign made sure to tell them again before he and the others made their way deeper inside.
