Episode 38.2 (1/2)
The sun was high in the sky.
(Well damn.)
(It's noon already.)
(How long did I sleep anyway?)
His duel with Zoltan may have been very dense but it shouldn't have taken that long.
Lecan went back to <Rafin's Rock Terrace Inn> right after lunch yesterday. After which he headed straight for the dungeon. The duel should be over before nightfall and then Lecan went to sleep. And yet it's noon now. He's way overslept.
(Now then.)
(Let's go.)
Lecan made his way to General Dungeon Administrative office.
The office's front entrance is situated directly to the opposite of the dungeon. Lecan went around several buildings and stood before the front entrance. There are other entrances on the building's sides, but going through the front would net the shortest route to his destination room.
Lecan searched the building's third floor with <3D Perceptions>.
Chubby told him that the two are in a room next to the chief administrator's room.
That administrator's room was probably the room he had a discussion with Eliza the other day. With that guess in mind, Lecan searched the rooms neighboring administrator's room.
(There it is.)
(This must be it.)
There are two people laying on the floor in a room to the right of the administrator's room. He can't tell in details at this distance, but they seem to be tied.
(Don't tell me they've been kept like this.)
(Since they were taken yesterday?)
Someone is sitting in the back of administrator's room. It's probably Torog.
Lecan probed the surroundings, but there's nothing especially threatening personnel strength-wise. They probably never imagined someone would launch an attack here.
Then he looked for the route to get to the third floor from where he is.
(Now then.)
(Let's do this.)
Lecan got up the three step stairs and went for the door.
”State your business here.”
One of the soldiers standing guard asked.
”I'm here to fetch my acquaintances on floor three. Passing through.”
”Hold it.”
”<Lightning>.”
The soldier was about to catch Lecan's shoulder when he got hit by <Lightning> and crumbled down on the spot. The <Lightning> was supposed to only be a diversion, but Lecan poured a bit too much mana into it and cast a quite strong one instead. But he's probably not dead.
Lecan kept walking ahead.
'We're under attack', the soldiers made a huge fuss.
Lecan nonchalantly passed by the spacious lobby on the first floor.
As he was about to enter a narrow stairway connected straight to the third floor, a knight came slashing at his back.
”<Lightning>.”
Lecan didn't even turn around as the knight got fell down collapsing.
On the second floor, one knight and five soldiers were already waiting to ambush him.
”<Lightning>.”
He managed to knock out all six at once.
