94 The Truth Part 1 (1/2)

Wallace has been searching for a safe place to land for a couple of minutes. He wanted to make sure that no others traps were present on the island.

He glanced at the eastern part of the land and used his Divine Sense to monitor and avoid alerting the guards.

As Wallace descended in an isolated area near the shore. He noticed that the dome at center of the island was lighting up from time to time. Although it wasn't that bright, it was enough to see them during this dark night.

”They're still working during the night, huh. I wonder what it looks inside.” Wallace mumbled as he was getting nervous and excited at the same time.

He chose an area opposite of the dock to avoid the stationed battleship and as soon as he landed, his Divine Sense felt some connection coming from the dome. Unfortunately, there was another presence he had detected filled with killing intent. He scanned the surroundings again and noticed a person trying to find his presence.

As soon as Wallace locked into him as a target using his Divine Sense, the latter seems to have also noticed Wallace's presence.

”Tsk. He's coming.” Wallace said as he prepared to escape and hide. Although he had means to defend himself, he couldn't afford to fight as there's a lot of magician here. He'd definitely be exhausted and surrounded after fighting several of these magicians.

His armor glinted a bit before it silently vanished. No traces like footprints can be seen due to an auxiliary magic he placed on the armor. Though it can only be used when Cloak mode was activated, it is very convenient to use at this time.

Now, he plans to capture an unsuspecting guard to extract information. He left and headed to a dozing guard he had detected a while ago while scanning the place. It wasn't too far from where he landed but he had to be careful and constantly use his Divine Sense, never leaving it off to avoid any mistakes.

Just thirty seconds after Wallace left, the middle aged man that Wallace detected using his Divine Sense arrived where the latter descended.

”Was that my imagination?” The man said to himself. He was contemplating about the fluctuation he had felt a while ago. It seems that the relic they found here in the island had just transmitted some connection around here and attempted some form of communication. But due to special materials of the dome that blocks surveillance magic and communication technologies going in and out, it seems that the relic hadn't been fully successful. He had barely detected where the communication attempt happened but looking at the place, there was no traces of someone being here.

”Haaa.. Is this due to decades of unfruitful research?” The man thought that it could be due to him being tired and might have felt incorrectly. He was clearly aware of the security of this place and there shouldn't be anyone capable of reaching the shore without their notice.

”Well, I should still report it just in case.”

The man didn't investigate further and returned to his position guarding the vicinity of the dome.

Wallace saw a young guard sleeping behind a tree while seated. He seemed to be a guard from a nearby outpost but neglecting his duty and slept due to having a peaceful night.

He doesn't want to be overconfident as he activated his Enhanced Magic Jammer that is also capable of disrupting radio signals. Wallace doesn't want to focus on just improving his Mana skills mastery but would also like to develop his technological skills together. So he would always consider to add an advanced technology in his Mana Artifacts.

As soon as he confirmed that the guard would be incapable of sending out information stealthily, Wallace expanded another spell that he had been using for a while now, it was Silence Wall that came from his Silver Orb. There are four 5th gen magic structures that can be placed on his Silver Orb and this Silence Wall was just part of the third 5th gen he placed.

He grabbed the head of the unsuspecting person, lifted it up and pounded on the tree he was leaning to. For a trained individual equipped with multiple Mana enhanced clothes and weapons, the guard wasn't that injured and only had a bit of pain. Though it was definitely enough to wake the person.

”W-who are you?” The person asked upon seeing a black humanoid monster. Although his head was grasped by it's cold mettalic hands, he can still see the glistening black being who was holding him between the gaps on it's fingers and had enough space for his mouth to barely voice out his words. He tried to activate his emergency Mana artifacts, necklace, rings, and even his Mana artifact hidden within his mouth but something seems to be stopping them.

'Magic Jammer? Hmph.' The guard didn't lose hope yet as his left hand stealthily pressed a button on his belt while his right hand was trying to hold the wrist of the monster.

The red eyes coming from this monster was really scary, but even though he felt weak compared to him, he could still call for someone else's help.
