Chapter 773: Break The Door
Chapter 773: Break The Door
Olag had grabbed the senior members of the Bonum Society, and they were currently running through the grand hallways of the facility. The facility was extremely large, but thankfully with most of them being Pagna warriors and Hybrid beasts, their physical abilities meant that they could travel quite the distance.
“Olag, why are we going this way? Isn’t it quicker to go through the west entrance? We were right there,” one of the members asked.
“Because we don’t know how large or what number of attackers there even are,” Olag replied. “We’re going to come up from behind and trap them so they have nowhere to run when they realize just how much of a mistake they’ve made.”
“There are around fifty members training in there right now, all of them prime and strong members of the society. Not everyone went with those others–they needed a backup plan and people to protect this place. They will be able to hold them until we arrive. The only thing I’m worried about is if they finish them off before we arrive.” Olag started to laugh, and so did the rest of the group. That laughter quickly stopped, though, as Olag froze in place.
He had stopped running, and so did the others behind him. He looked at one of the side walls -the walls that were made of solid and thick steel, at least three meters thick. He raised his hand and touched the edge of the metal.
“How is something like this possible?” one of the members asked.
“I have no idea, but we better hurry,” Olag replied as he looked at the large hole that had been carved out from the metal. It went deep and far. The walls had been used as a shortcut to head to the training room, and the metal was completely destroyed.
Raze was continuing to follow the trail-the trail of where the most people in the facility were. He could only sense movement from far out with his Wind magic; he was unable to know the layout or anything else in the facility.
Instead of going through the large number of corridors and trying to get key passes to head through some of the doors, he decided to make his own shortcut to get to the place.
With his sword, he was ready as he went ahead and used the fourth formation: Void Pulse Formation. With a little magic and his Qi, Raze thrust his sword forward, and it pierced through the thick steel walls.
The attack was large enough to create a big opening for them to get through, but it only got them from one hallway into another.
“We need to move quickly. Although this place is solid and that didn’t make too much noise, you never know what security systems they have here,” Raze said as he continued to push forward.
The one saving grace for the two of them was that despite how large the facility was, there seemed to be a lack of people in the place, which was making it harder for them to be discovered. The size of the facility was only making Raze more intrigued as he felt something had to be there.
As the two carried on moving, they came to another steel wall, and once again, Raze lifted his sword, gathering the Dark Magic and the Qi in the hilt of the sword and thrusting it forward.
The attack tore through the metal, piercing deep and right through it. Raze felt something- after his fight, he thought his body would be worn, would be broken down, but instead, it felt slightly stronger than before.
The fact that he could produce two Void Pulses and still feel fine was quite the sign. As they passed through the destroyed part of the walls, Mantis couldn’t help but look at the steel. He went ahead to grab it, hardening his Qi around his hand so it didn’t get cut.
He grabbed part of the broken edge and then tensed his hand. It started shaking, and finally, the steel crunched up into a ball, and he ripped it off from the wall.
“This stuff is really sturdy, and it’s so thick, and with his attack, he was able to break through it like that?’ Mantis thought.
He was gaining an idea of just how strong the person he was with currently was. No longer could he even look at Raze as a rival, but he started to think something else as well.
Just before they reached the other side of the wall in the hallway, Raze was getting ready to break through it again.
“Wait!” Mantis said. “Do you mind if I give this one a try?”
Raze looked through the holes and hallways they had made. It didn’t look like anyone was following them, so he stood to the side.
Mantis figured this was Raze’s way of saying to give it a go.
Mantis took a few steps back, further into the width of the hallway, then bent down, crouching like a tiger. He got ready and ran up, his Qi gathering in his hand. He continued forward and then flung his hand out with all of his speed, bashing it into the wall.
A loud echo and a thud were heard, shaking the floor they were on, and quite a dent had been made. The rest of Mantis’s body then crashed into the wall, and he fell onto the ground.
“Sh*t!” Mantis said as he held onto his shoulder and looked at the wall. It was dented, but he hadn’t managed to break through it completely.
In all honesty, Raze was quite impressed with what had been done already, especially for a student-it was clear he had gotten stronger.
“Let me try again… I think I nearly got it,” Mantis said as he jumped back to where he was and got into the same position as before.
Raze didn’t say anything and continued to watch as Mantis ran across the room, kicking the floor, and then leapt through the air.
“I’m going to destroy this f*cking wall!” Mantis exclaimed, and as he gathered Qi, dug in deep, drawing more power, a black substance gathered around his entire arm. A wing came out from his back, only from one shoulder, and propelled him forward.
His fist crushed right through the steel wall, breaking through it until he had reached the other end, landing on his feet.
Mantis was staring at the floor, unaware of what had happened.
“I did it!” Mantis said with a smile and looked up, only to find himself in a room, surrounded by fifty or so people staring at him.
“You did, and now it looks like we might need that strength of yours even more so,” Raze said as he came through. The two of them had reached the training area.
