Chapter 196 - In the Cellar (2/2)

After bypassing the first set of guards and entering the small outpost, they could finally see the entrance to the underground cellar. The entrance was just a regular double steel door unlike the ones at Avrion that required a special combination and were made of the hardest material known to man.

These steel doors could easily be broken by Ray but they didn't want to cause a commotion. The two of them quietly waited until the right opportunity and then finally someone had opened the door to switch duties with someone above.

Ray used that period to sneak by the guards using their shadow skills almost making them invisible.

”Hey did you feel that wind blow by just now.” A guard said as Gary walked past him.

”What are you talking about, there's no wind at all today.”

”Must have been my imagination.”

Finally, Gary and Ray were in the underground cellar. The cellar was a large single room that was too big for Ray to see the end of. Every ten meters or so at the side of the wall would be a set of Iron bars, behind the bars each contained a small room harbouring a criminal.

”It will take us forever to find him?” Gary said looking at all the rooms.

Ray started to use his Dragon eyes to scan the room, he wasn't looking for the man himself but was looking for the weapon specifically. That's when Ray noticed something strange. At the very back of the cellar, a strong life force was burning Red as if a beast was being kept down here.

As Ray looked closer though he realized it had a shape of a human, not only that but the human was still holding something in his hand that resembled the hammer.

”The man is this way,” Ray said, ”Let's hurry.”

Back outside of the outpost Jack continued to keep an eye out to see if there was anything strange but that's when he started to sniff out a familiar scent. Then he heard sounds coming through the forest he was hiding in.

Jack quickly hid behind a huge boulder waiting to see who it was. Then two figures wearing hooded cloaks had appeared. One was large while the other was small.

They walked up to the outpost and Jack continued to keep an eye on them. When they finally arrived, they took off their cloaks to reveal their faces. One of them was a woman while the other was a man Jack recognized.

It was Berg form the tavern.

”We are here to see the criminal you caught today.” The female voice said.
