Chapter 48 - 46 (1/2)
The servants, soldiers and individuals inside the royal palace were in distress as King Xiuwei commanded strictly that they must find a way to retrieve the second princess. Zero was unaffected to this as he left unknowingly through the same passage way of the ancient library. He had a hunched that the girl was hiding there.
The passage was the same as he saw the usual lamp light attached to th wall. He did not take it as he used his qi perception in order not to alert the person who might be hiding here.
He retraced his track to the tunnel until he arrived to the spot where he heard the voice of that witch. He followed where it came. The walk was around ten minutes when he reached the end of the tunnel.
'Did he got it wrong?'
Zero examined the wall as he found runic symbols on it. Even though he was not familiar to it but the system was telling him otherwise.
[System Detection: formation barrier in north.]
'A formation array?'
The young man looked at the wall infront of him as he observed the runes that were scribbled on the wall. Even though he was new to formation arrays as this was his first encounter with it but he read it on a book that formation arrays had its core that would served as a 'heart' of a formation.
In order to locate it, Zero touched the runic symbols as he traced it with his hands. Feeling each of the runes if he could figure something out from it.
[”System, do you have any items that could detect formation arrays' core?”]
Right. He could not buy anything from the system shop as he had no completed tasks yet.
[”Do you have any freebies for it like free test?”]
[Host could try the free samples of mini bombs.]
'Mini bombs? What would I do with that?' He thought.
[Mini bombs are designed for free samples. Explosion intensity is 20%, magnitude level is 5% and it is made for muted explosions.]
Zero frowned as the system did not stop talking about those mini bombs. He was not interested with it but it felt like the system was forcing him to take it.
[Mini bombs are free, the host will not regret trying.]
[Mini bombs are free, the host will not regret trying.]
[Mini bombs are free, the host will not regret trying.]
It kept repeating like a broken stereo.
[”Okay, okay. I'll take one.”]
The young man sighed as a small palm-size bomb appeared on his hand. He frowned while looking at it. There was no indication where to activate it. How will it explode?
[Host can use a command and the system will activate it.]
'Alright.'
Zero put the mini bomb beside the wall and he thought for a good command. He then smiled as he thought a cool one, ”Cha-ching!”
['Cha-ching' is set as activation voice command. Auto-explosion activated. Host is advise to be 20 meters far away from the mini bomb.]
'20 meters?' Zero used his agility to run away out from the explosion radius. The young man did not heard any sound of explosion as the system confirmed it.
He went back to the wrecked place and saw the big hole on the wall. It then led to another passage but a shadow caught his eye. It was the girl he was looking for!
”Wait! I have something to ask you!”
The girl ignored his shout as it continued to run away. Zero chased her. Finally a dead end met the girl that made her stopped from escaping.
Fortunately, he had a good stamina thanks to his system so he did not get sweat from the chase.
”It's over now. You cannot run anymore.”
