With tiainst metal stopped and the chimney that was connected to the furnace went out They could seethe person on the inside finally went to bed at 12 a, this was quite late for this world’s standards

They waited another 30 or soto strike Two people stayed outside to keep watch and would alert their co happened The other two sneaked around to the back of the warehouse Each one of them decided to use a differentto sneak in They would not use any of the s that placed the quarters The possibility of hih if they tried that

The ere wooden and thick and the glass was mat The locks were simple hooked latches that could be easily opened by these thieves fro thin between the inside

This appeared to be quite the easy job for the burglars, the oas supposedly just a thirteen-year-old brat Such a young person couldn’t be high leveled either so even if he woke up they would easily overpower him

TheHe found hie area The as old but thanks to his advanced sneaking skill he wasn’t ed to make it on the inside as well and the two met up

They could see iron tools and items everywhere but they were all crude and unusable to the worth stealing but the craftsman on the inside was apparently a newbie They nodded to theether

The ave his party o in first The et was staying at The door wasn’t locked so he just grabbed the handle and gently opened it up The thieving skills that they had sos like doors and s produce less sound while their sneaking was activated

On the inside, they spotted a bed and what looked like to be a sleeping person The thief that was in the front took out a dagger that had a slight curve to it The leader just waited by the door in case soet tried fleeing He didn’t feel like that would be the case as the person was already in striking distance

The burglar didn’t hesitate at all, his dagger et’s body Thewas off, he quickly pulled the bedsheets to the side to discover a bunch of pillows tied together in the for out of place, a strange-looking piece of paper that was glowing red

Before the hired thug could react to it though an explosion occurred He was hit by a wave of heated energy and tossed like a rag doll against the wall The thief leader that atching everything play out quickly ducked back inside the warehouse to evade the rest of the blast

He didn’t knoas happening, how could an explosion have occurred? Before he could think about the reason he felt soh as he felt so their tongue behind him, he wanted to turn around and retaliate but before he could do that, his whole shoulder exploded

Thewound, his body had suffered a crippling blow and he was going into shock Frodown the tip that was slightly glowing red

The ue not have noticed so a lot of blood and he decided to make a run for it The room in which the explosion happened also had a ith much pain he stood up and took off

He covered his head with his good ared The as closed but he knew that he could force his way through it while not suffering too et outside to where his two other coetaway or even kill this brat

Things wouldn’t be going his way though as thebehind hih theat thisthe attack from behind was difficult It was even ale arrow that could reach astonishi+ng speeds

It went through his chest while he was ju With the added ue's body traveled even further than he expected His body smacked into the hard pave outside arrived to watch the spectacle

He was shocked, their team leader was a tier 2 class holder He was even over level 60 and noas ahe knew that he was dead, there was a decision to be made He did what any thief in this situation would do and abandoned thistheir dead leader

On the inside of the warehouse was Roland He eating and his heart was pounding furiously The person that had received the blast from his rune was still in his workshop He wasn’t dead quite yet so Roland decided to incapacitate hi hiet some answers

He also saw some movement outside The other thieves luckily decided to flee and the explosion was loud enough so the guards would be co down

He hadlike this He knew that this was a dangerous neighborhood he was living in He didn’t expect to be part of a hoh

Roland had other spells besides the attacking ones After noticing that he was really bad at detecting danger he asked the er to help him find an item with such a spell He had acquired a ‘detect life‘ spell It allowed hinatures outside his house and he used it every day before going to bed

He alent to bed late which allowed hi out this warehouse The other spell that he used was a ‘shadow veil’ spell This was a corade spell that allowed hi as he stayed in theh perception could see him, which would have to be at least a tier 2 advanced scout

After the explosion, he plunged his enchanted rapier into the ue was fast to react He was lucky enough that his weapon had this function He activated it instantly to produce the internal explosion, the rest was history

‘Was this just a norht to himself, this felt a bit excessive for a simple thief attack Did they really have to kill hi and they didn’t even search it He watched them move towards his roo to kill hih more people arrived The explosion caused quite the coh the city The thieves guild would also look into this as they lost one of their rogues in what seely peaceful city wasn’t looking that safe anymore
