228 Staying Behind (1/2)

-Dark Brotherhood Castle-

I'm sensing a lot of movement throughout the castle. They move so fast and I can tell that they are starting to scatter.

”Shhh... let's move fast. Kaita, lead the way.” Beat ordered. Thankfully we have a bit of a handful of people in our group.

We headed straight to the other path Two Teeth was telling about and I can tell that both paths have the same amount of guards so even if we go back, there's no way we could not meet any enemies.

We hid for a bit because there's a lot of guards lurking around. It looks like they have good sneaking masteries but when it comes to tracking, they're quite bad, not to mention they can't use any spells to enhance their tracking abilities.

”Did you see any suspicious ones?” One of the guards asked the others.

”No, Sir. We're searching every place but so far, no signs of them.” One reported.

”They were able to take down the best warrior we have, even our guild leader can't defeat him in hand to hand combat.”

”Really? Did they kill him?” Most of them are surprised.

”No, he fell asleep. They probably used a tranquilizer to put him down. Even if there's a hundred of them, fighting him without spells is like suicide.” He's right. He's really a beast. I can't believe they have someone like that in their guild.

”Ok, enough with the chitchat. Let's try to find them. Both our leader and Order of Light's leader are really pissed right now. They said that this would be a hindrance to their plans but they're the only ones who know this plan. Move out!” They scattered once again. Plan... are they talking about the plan that I heard earlier?

I checked the surroundings and it seems like Dark Brotherhood's population is really small and with only the spell restriction barrier, they will be having a hard time defending this place if their hideout has been exposed unless they create defensive mechanical artillery.

We're getting closer and closer to the exit. I hope there's no trap ahead or running and avoiding traps at the same time would slow us down really hard.

”It looks like the old geezer was really part of the conspiracy from the start. He tried to look like he doesn't know what is happening and that fooled us. I don't know why he's doing this but he'll pay for this madness.” Scy told us while he's still carrying me. I hope I'm not being a burden to him.

”I think what they're doing right now is related to their plan,” I replied.

”Yeah, it looks like it. But for now, let's concentrate on going out of this horrifying place.” Scy replied.

Most of us trying our best not to be detected. With one wrong move, we might all be in big trouble. If we're caught, I'm pretty sure they won't kill us because if they're going to, then they should have done it when we're at war. It's like they're trying to isolate some people out from the war, like Scy and Shella.

-Dark Brotherhood Exit-

After trying our best, we finally reached the exit but... there are like more than twenty people guarding the place and they don't look like normal players. With their gears, they're probably high-level players. I don't think we can take down twenty people without one of them calling for backup.

”What are you guys worrying about?” Scy asked.

”For starters, if we get caught here, we might all end up in one prison cell,” Osia replied.

”Well, last time, I'm just trying to protect both Akko and Shella but now, this is a different story.”

”Can you walk now Chara?” He asked me.

”I'm pretty sure I can now,” I replied.

”Ok then, let's show these guys how strong we are even without using spells.” Wait, what? Is he saying we'll fight head on?

*SWOOOOOSH!* Out of nowhere Scy, Beat and Kaita jumped at the same time!

Scy landed on one of the guards delivering a massive kick and after he reaches the ground, one guard tried to attack him with a sword from the back but it did nothing! Scy grabbed his hand and unleashed two massive body blow and a face punch to end it. The others did well too!
