Chapter 161 - Trouble (1/2)

After some time of searching, Evan finally found what he wanted. There were four white crystals in the pouch, and they were definitely the same as the one the commander had.

<Hmm, it was definitely them, but why was that crystal green? Maybe it was all about the rank of the monster.>

Evan didn't fully understand what the crystals in front of him were yet, but he didn't have time to figure it out at the moment. Probably, he would learn more about these crystals in the Academy. Right now, he had another task.

Whoosh.

Evan's spatial ring glowed and he put the pouch into it. His ring was an artifact of the zero rank , so the capacity was quite small. Nevertheless, he could take not particularly large items.

Other than the crystals, Evan didn't touch anything.  Nobody would quickly notice the missing of a small pouch. If he sorted out the rest he would just go back and take what he could.

Step. Step. Step.

Evan heard two men walking toward him. One of them said loudly: ”Babe, what's taking you so long, boss is waiting for you.”

Evan just leaned against the wall and waited for the two men to get close enough. He had the element of surprise on his side, so he was sure he could easily take them down.

”Hey, where are you?” Said one of them looking into the warehouse.

Whoosh.

At the same moment, he saw a white blade coming at him. He couldn`t even make a sound,as his head fell down the floor. His companion suffered the same fate.

Evan quickly dragged them into the warehouse and hid them under the fur of some monster, just like with the girl before.

<Good job, I've dealt with two more and they haven't spotted me yet. Everything is working out just fine>. Evan thought and headed further down the tunnel.

There were no forks in this underground base, just a few turns that led to rooms.

Evan reached the next room , looked inside, and frowned. There were nine people in there, including the commander. He didn`t see any other passages from this room, so it was obvious that all of them were here.

<Nine men at once... that's going to be pretty hard.> Five of the men were ”creating,” but the rest of them could have spotted Evan at any moment.

The squad leader was talking to some girl, while the other two were just waiting for something.

Evan looked at the raven sitting quietly on his shoulder and thought to himself, ”It would be nice to blow this place to hell.”

But it was too risky. The landslide would be too big, moreover, there was no way Evan could let the leader of the group die. A beam shot in such a narrow space would surely kill him and everyone else without exception.

The young man whispered: ”Can you take the two?”

Raven nodded, it was pretty smart and understood that in this situation it`s better not to make any noise.

Of course, Evan could have tried to just talk to these people, but that would have been the most idiotic thing to do. He had already killed several of their men, so he was unlikely to be welcome here. He should have taken advantage of the surprise and attacked.

Whoosh.

Evan ran forward sharply and swung his scythe. His target was the two men who were ”creating” at the moment. Naturally, they had no time to react to such an unexpected and deadly attack. They were killed in just a few seconds.

” Fuck, who are you?!” The commander shouted loudly.
