Chapter 304: Hundreds of Chaos stones loot (1/2)
”How did you have the button?” Cassandra quickly asked the moment they distanced themselves far away from the people of the Black organization.
”I simply tampered with all of the Chaos stones inside, including those that have been connected to the holder of the button.” Leo replied.
”Are you serious? Then doesn't this meant the entire Lesser Chaos Magic Array is as good as useless?” Charlotte asked, still doubtful of Leo's claims.
”Don't worry, I'll show you what I meant,” Leo said before he mischievously chuckled
Although he had indeed left the Black organization's camp, he wasn't actually just leaving to escape, but rather to distance himself far away from the trap he had secretly set inside the cave.
Just like what he had mentioned to Cassandra and Charlotte, he already has full control of the Chaos stones, so if he wanted to detonate them, he could! The only problem is for them to get out of range of its attack.
Once he distances himself far enough, he would explode 1 Chaos stone or two, which should be enough to eliminate the majority of people from the Black organization, considering their distance to the explosion. He wasn't worried about the explosion affecting the other Chaos stones in the pile, because just like what Charlotte had explained to them awhile ago, it is nearly impossible for a Chaos stone explosion to affect the other Chaos stones. Of course, there would definitely be chances for a survivor to appear amongst the near two hundred people of the Black organization, but with them blocking the door to the exit, would they even be able to successfully leave? Not to mention, they would obviously be seriously injured afterwards. Therefore, the answer is, they can't! And he also wouldn't let anyone leave because he is determined to not let any of them leave here alive, as it would also mean the other people of the Black organization would be informed.
As for the issue of the loud noise caused by the explosion attracting the other people of the Black organization, the explosion caused by one or two Chaos stones isn't really that much. Basing on what Charlotte had explained, it would most likely only affect the entire Black organization's camp. It won't even be enough to reach the surface. So, aside from them, no one would know what is going on here.
The moment they finally distanced themselves a hundred or so meters away, Leo stopped walking and turned around to look in the direction of the Black organization's camp. This distance was already considered very far, considering he will only be detonating one Chaos stone or two, but just to be sure he chooses to stay as far as one hundred meters.
”I know that both of you are still feeling doubtful, so I'll show you the proof,” Leo said.
Suddenly, with only Leo expecting the next scene, an explosion sounded that completely caught Cassandra and Charlotte off guard.
Boooom!
This explosion was really loud, but it was only because they were near the site of the explosion.
”That...” Cassandra and Charlotte were shocked beyond belief. The two of them were indeed still feeling doubtful of Leo's claim. No matter how much they trust and believe him, they just can't see any reason that will explain how he can have the button to activate the Lesser Chaos Magic Array. But now, seeing the explosion for themselves, they finally believed him.
Unlike any normal explosions caused by Magic bombs or some other explosives that use Magic dust, an alternative for Gunpowder, the explosion this time was much more disastrous. To be more precise, the Mana was in total chaos, resulting in the surrounding the become completely devoid of Mana.
”I think I might have underestimated the Chaos stones damage,” Leo felt a bit ashamed of his confident assumption a while ago. He had really thought that there would still be survivors from the people of the Black organization, but seeing the current scene right now, it was most likely not going to be the case anymore. Even the ground and ceiling made up of tough stone that has survived the test of time were not spared by the Chaos Mana as they have turned into mere black dust, not to mention those people who were basically just standing a few dozens or so of meters from the center of the explosion.
Leo, Cassandra, and Charlotte waited for a few minutes until the black dust falling from the ceiling completely settled down before they went back to check the situation of the Black organization's camp.
At this moment, they weren't expecting that much anymore, aside from a scene that they are currently seeing right now.
In front of them right now was like a tiny-wasteland, ranging 30 meters in diameter from the center of the explosion which is the pile of Chaos stones. The ground was now fine black dust, and the ceiling has expanded by a dozen of meters or so due to the explosion. There was no survivor to be seen in the scene, even the skeleton remains of those people were missing. Surely it has also turned into dust. It was also impossible for some of their things to survive, for even the wall that surrounds that cave of the pile of Chaos stones was turned into black dust, leaving now an open wide space for everyone to see.
