The headless bodies of the two researchers fell to the ground, a pool of blood forming around them.
Amon quickly extracted it and stored it inside his ring.
He quickly headed through the door, entering a new wide corridor that stretched out for as far as the eye could see.
Wasting no mont, Amon sealed the door shut, sealing it with crystals.
He ran through the wide space before facing another three turns.
Finding himself in a difficult situation, he imdiately spread out his blood threads.
On the thread that went in the front direction, he quickly attached a small dart to it by summoning his cane.
As the threads spread out, he closed his eyes.
Imdiately his vision blurred and another view entered his vision.
It was the view from the thread that crawled on the floor.
He examined the surroundings of the thread as they passed through.
Unfortunately, no familiarity occurred to him as he tried to span his vision as far as he could.
And it didn't take long before he felt one thread of his reach a dead end.
He clicked his tongue as he further increased the speed of the thread that carried his vision.
But it too wasn't able to go far as imdiately three guards entered his vision.
He also the sound of a siren in the distance.
As soon as the guards matched his gaze, he cut off the vision.
As he returned back to his normal view, he suddenly lost connection with the third thread as well.
It ant that there were guards in that direction as well.
He knew which thread was correct now.
It was the one from which he was looking.
The sound of the siren was sothing that confird his doubt.
The unfamiliarity with the surroundings was also cause he wasn't that deep in the center yet.
He was at the outer edge of it.
The only problem was the guards.
Gritting his teeth, he made up his mind and quickly ran through the wide corridor.
There was no ti.
The guards from the other direction were also currently headed his way.
As he sprinted, it didn't take long for the guards to co into his vision.
If he had to gauge their strength, they were probably around initial to midway through 3rd order/tier.
There were currently 5 of them.
Imdiately, one of the guards responded.
"Stop right there!"
His voice ca like a booming echo in the tallic corridor.
Reacting quickly, Amon raised up a wall of crystal from his arm.
The sound connected with the wall and resulted in a large boom.
Fortunately, the wall was able to hold with only so cracks on its exterior.
As it disintegrated, the crystal guard found himself in shock as Amon wasn't there anymore. "Behind you!" A guard called from behind.
Unfortunately, it was already too late as a bullet passed through the guard's head, darkening his vision.
The other guards found themselves in a mont of shock at Amon's sudden teleportation. Exploiting the opportunity he got, he disappeared once more and appeared behind a second guard.
Amon touched the back of his head before making a shooting motion again.
A bullet passed through his head again, ending his life as well.
The other guards finally composed themselves and gritted their teeth.
"You fucker!" A guard waved his spear and a wall of flas launched in Amon's direction.
His gaze unwavering, Amon stretched out both his arms before clapping them with full force.
A large boom occurred that made the tallic walls shudder and the wall of flas completely dissipated.
Only a few embers touched Amon's clothes burning them.
Not wasting a mont, he touched the floor.
Imdiately, crackles started to sound in the air as the tal floor was charged up with lightning.
The bodies of the guards twitched a little from the shock.
Fortunately, their clothes were able to protect them from major damage.
But even that single second of paralyzation proved to be fatal for them, as three spears of
blood passed through their heads.
Their bodies crashed back into the walls.
Amon looked at all the guards that were dead.
There was quite a difference between their strengths but his surprise reveals and many
elents were enough to take them down, regardless of their experience.
The only problem was that he had expended quite a bit of mana.
Going forward, he had to limit it.
Especially since he had to venture into that polluted air.
Suddenly, footsteps echoed in his ears from behind as he turned to look.
And imdiately, he saw 6 guards running his way.
'Fuck...'
Amon cursed in his mind and imdiately took a turn and ran off into the corridors.
Eventually, he was able to find a staircase that led him to a floor above.

Alya, Elizabeth, Charlotte, and Ren looked up at the ceiling in confusion as they heard sirens
going off.
They had just entered through the entrance into the facility right now through the air when sirens went off all around.
Their guides imdiately ran to the researchers and guards to confirm the situation.
Everyone in their class except their group was currently hunched together in fear.
After all, everyone rembered those smiling incidents and what just happened 2 hours ago.
"What do you think it could be?" Charlotte asked the other three.
Alya shrugged.
"No idea. Maybe so experint of theirs went off?" She told them.
But she knew that wasn't the case.
Rembering that final gaze of his, she knew sothing was happening related to him.
And in her heart, there could be only one explanation.
And looking at the other three, she knew they were thinking the sa.
They were only trying to refrain from bringing that sad topic up.
But...
Elizabeth finally spoke up, her voice confident which betrayed her previous expressions.
"What are the chances that it's 'him'?" she asked everyone else.
Charlotte and Alya exchanged glances, not knowing what to say at the sudden question.
The only one who shrugged nonchalantly without a care in the world was Ren.
"Who else could it be? Of course, it's my bro."
It was true. Out of all three of them, only Ren was calm and did not care after he heard about
the situation.
He simply said that the last thing he expected in the world was that 'shit' aning Amon to
die.
And as if confirming his words, the guides ca back.
"It seems to be that your fellow classmate has resisted capture and thus escaped from his cell. Because of that, we have to unfortunately cancel this trip until he is caught."
Everyone imdiately had a horrified expression on their faces as they heard about Amon.
The guides quickly tried to calm them down.
"Do not worry. You are safe on this floor and nothing will happen. Our people have already gone to relay the news to the Unit Commanders who will swiftly take action."
Hearing those words, the three exchanged glances and Ren smirked.
"I knew they couldn't hold that fucker."
At that mont, the three of them saw Athena enter into the building with Arthur from the
entrance.
Athena's gaze imdiately locked with Ren while Arthur nudged slightly toward the door
from the back.
It was a clear sign to the guy who knew the man long enough.
And without wasting a mont, Ren separated from the class and ran up to Athena.
"Well, I can't leave a homie do all those things alone can I?" He told the other 3 people before
running off.
At his words, the three looked in the direction of where Ren was running.
And in the next mont, Alya and Elizabeth ran off as well, leaving Charlotte standing there
confused.
Reaching Athena who was looking at Ren with surprise, he grasped her hand, sliding
sothing in it.
"Forgive for this sis. Take this as an apology."
And then, he passed her before nudging Arthur with his elbow.
"Take care of this for pops."
The latter gave a hidden wink to the purple-haired boy as he passed through the door,
heading out into the air.
The sa happened with Alya and Elizabeth, as they slid sothing into Athena's hand while
she looked in surprise.
Thereafter, they ran through the door as well while the guides and everyone looked in shock
at the two pairs that stood at the entrance.
Ignoring them, Athena cast her gaze into what was put in her hand.
And then, her mouth twitched under everyone's gazes.
Taking one of them into her hand, she tore off the wrapper before throwing it into her mouth.
The imperial officers looked at the duo with horrified expressions as both of them then
whistled before walking forward.
As if nothing happened at all.
"Now, until I give the order, nobody passes out of this door or goes anywhere." Arthur's crisp
voice echoed in the surroundings.
He planted his cane into the ground where he leisurely sat down, propping his chin on his fist.
