Chapter 271 - Escape (2) (1/2)

Auron and the man moved to the underground prison's door. The man took the key and opened the lock.

Click... After opening the lock, the man signaled Auron to be ready. Then, Auron opened the door.

”Are you done? What happened inside?” Two guards were stationed to look out for the door. They thought that their friends were the ones who came out of prison.

However, they were wrong. As soon as the door opened, the man immediately attacked the guards. The guards were caught in surprise and could not avoid the attack. They fell as a result of the impact.

The man took one of the guard's weapon and used it to finish the guards. It was quick. The guards wanted to scream, but they could not. The man already killed them.

After killing the guards, the man took the other guard's sword and threw it to Auron. ”Can you use it?” He asked Auron.

As Auron was in his mage character, he could not use the swords. ”No, I am a mage,” Auron revealed his class.

The man looked at Auron in surprise. Although he hadn't look at the way of Auron's fight, he could sense that Auron was proficient in close combat fight. So, when Auron revealed his class, he was shocked as close combat mage was rare.

However, the man could not think about it for too long and just accepted the fact. They were in a hurry to escape. The man exchanged the dagger in his hand with the swords in Auron's hand.

After going out of the prison, it was also the first time Auron saw the man's appearance. The man had a shabby look. Maybe, it was the result of staying in prison. Auron estimated the man was in his late forties.

However, Auron could only look for a bit before the man started to continue. Because Auron didn't know the plan, Auron could not help but follow him.

Both Auron and the man went upstairs and arrived on the fortress's first floor. The situation was still normal. There was no uproar since the military hadn't come yet.

Auron could see a bandit was patrolling around the first floor. However, they were already yawning as their shift time almost over.

One of the bandits who were patrolling stretched his body as he said to his friend, ”Ah, I am so sleepy. After this, I will go to sleep. What will you do?”

”Me, too. I haven't had a good sleep these days. I am thinking of applying for...”

Before the bandit could finish his sentence, a sirene rang loudly. All of the people inside the fortress could clearly hear it.

It was an emergency sirene that rang all over the place. As soon as the sirene rang, the commotion started to take place inside the fortress. Many of the bandits came down from the fort and confused about what happened.
