Chapter 772: A Breakout
Chapter 772: A Breakout
Mantis would have never expected this: that he would be working side by side with Raze in trying to break out of a facility they were captured in by the Light Faction. He could see Raze doing something as he placed both of his hands on the ground.
“I just had a thought,” Mantis said. “Why did they just capture us and not the others, and what’s even happened to the others?”
Raze had already thought about this, considering a large number of different things. He was hoping they had all managed to escape, leaving behind the two people that weren’t able to fend for themselves.
As for a reason why they might still be alive, both Mantis and Raze had shown extraordinary abilities. Mantis with his body being partly a beast and a Hybrid, and then there was Raze and his magic.
‘My magic and Qi, it’s all returned even if my head still isn’t a hundred percent in the right place,’ Raze thought. ‘But the Light Faction, taking me to their center, if this is their facility, then it might be a chance to learn something.’
After a short while, Raze lifted his hands off the ground.
“I can’t sense any other magic,” Raze said, not even bothering to hide his words anymore in front of Mantis. “Which means that Safa isn’t here.”
“Safa?” Mantis replied back, somewhat remembering that was the name of one of the contestants.
“It also means I can rule out that it was Alter that captured us,” Raze continued.
“Alter?” Mantis repeated again, hearing phrases he didn’t understand.
“What I do know, though, is there are a lot of people out there, and I’m telling you now, I don’t mind you coming with me, but I’m not going to look after you,” Raze stated.
“Ha, like I needed any help from you,” Mantis replied as he watched Raze heading to the solid metal door.
Raze placed one hand on the metal door, and it started to freeze over. After that, he gathered Qi in his fist and threw out a punch. As it hit the door, it smashed it into pieces that went flying into the hallway.
“How are you even able to do these things?” Mantis said out loud when he wanted to say it in his head, and it was the same as the next line that came out of his mouth. “It’s not fair.”
“You’re right,” Raze said, stepping into the hallway. “If it will give you some peace, it’s because I’m from another world.”
Mantis didn’t know what to do apart from just laugh at the situation. Raze started to make his way through the tunnels, hoping that he would eventually come across something that would be of use to him.
As they continued to rush through, they could see a person up ahead, walking through.
Before Raze could even act, he saw something come right past him. Mantis had leapt through the air at great speed and grabbed onto the other person’s face, slamming it onto the floor, knocking the man out or possibly even killing him.
“We’re both breaking out of this place, and immediately I might need your help, so I can’t just leave it all to you,” Mantis said.
Raze nodded. He appreciated someone like this. Someone that didn’t just come along for the free ride. Even if they felt like they were weaker, they still tried to help in their own way.
The two of them continued to run, and Mantis couldn’t help but look at his own hand and think about what had just occurred.
‘I was only meaning to run, but then my whole body leapt across the room, and the power I could feel. I didn’t even put much Qi into my attacks. My whole body, it feels like it’s changed, like it’s evolved,’ Mantis thought.
Up ahead, just before they turned a corner, Raze placed both hands on the ground, and an ice trail appeared, freezing the man completely around the corner, and the two of them continued to move.
“Hey, aren’t you going to finish them off?” Mantis asked.
“It will only slow us down. I plan to cause a big mess in this place anyway. Usually, if there is something to hide in the facility, then it’s the place with the most people. So we need to save our strength for that. Come on, let’s go,” Raze said as he continued through the hallways, unknown to him, heading for the training center.
Where there were large groups of hybrids practicing.
While in the hallways, other members of the Bonum Society were just making their way when they spotted the man passed out on the floor. The member quickly rushed over, turning him around to see his face bloody and broken from being slammed onto the floor.
“What is this? Who would just attack someone like this?” the member said, calling Fanum
over.
“I just got a report that another one of our men was attacked as well,” Fanum said. “It looks like someone’s infiltrated the base. We need to inform everyone immediately of what’s happening.”
The Bonum Society members were now on high alert, sure that an intruder had come into their base, and the information had eventually got passed to Olag, who was playing cards with a bunch of other members in one of the break rooms.
“For f*ck’s sake, why does this crap always have to happen when it’s just me here?” Olag said, standing up and starting to bark orders at the others.
“I can’t believe this type of stuff always seems to happen when Amir has to be away,” Olag thought to himself.
He started to look at the information and listen to the new reports that were coming in on a little square device by his side. It had a little tuner used, and the voices of the others would come in to him.
“Hey, what’s this?” Olag said with a smile. “From the sounds of it, they’re heading right for the training room. Let’s give these guys a nice little surprise, yeah. Everyone, let’s go!”
