Even though I moved quickly, not a big sound was made causing the silence of the dawn to dominate the environment, leaving the window leaning I reach the trapdoor that prevented my team from going down to the next floor.
Unlike the rest of the house this trapdoor doesn't even have a rune arrangement protecting it, as it's usually hidden by a large rug to keep from being seen the smugglers must have thought it wasn't worth setting an alarm on. My knife accurately hit the latch that held the trapdoor in place, expending a very small amount of aura.
In a matter of seconds, Ana, leading the team down the stairs, silently reached the floor of the floor and released her aura and elemental energy. Her body and shield were covered in a layer of thin black rock causing her tight leather armor to change from dark brown to black, her body was completely black if it weren't for the earth element energy that surrounded her, she would be identical to a wielder. shadow element.
She blasted him to the hardwood floor then slammed into the guards who must have been shocked at her entrance. Entering after the leader were Luke and Carmilla releasing their auras and their wind element, obviously none of the group will be stupid to sweat the fire or lightning element in a closed place made of wood.
Starting a fire here is the same as killing all the slaves we are supposed to save and basically destroying our chances of ambushing the leader of these smugglers when he gets here. When I got to the floor along with Nolan who was ready to charge directly at the enemy mages, I saw Luke and Carmilla massacring three gray core warriors.
The wind and aura blades were shooting in all directions, I was impressed by the size and speed of Luke's blades. The clamor didn't release a blade just a little bigger, his aura blade is three times the size of my aura blade in length and twice in thickness.
His blade sliced through a quarter of the room when he swung his weapon, the smugglers were cut in half by their blows as their defense was non-existent. It looks like he's facing black core warriors and not gray ones.
Carmilla has already killed all the warriors on his side while Ana was already descending to the final floor of the base. The bodies of the warriors killed by Carmilla were left in pieces, their blades of wind and aura were like a deadly storm that scarred the entire room with deep cuts.
I don't think these two idiots understand that we're underground with ten feet of earth over our heads, most of the wall and pillars supporting the base structure are being cut down by these idiots. Luke's blade has cut one of the pillars on his side in half and the ceiling is starting to give way, while on Carmilla's side a part of the ceiling and wall are falling off after being shredded by Carmilla's attacks, we're lucky her blows have stopped. after cutting the first layer of materials that support this room.
Even though Carmilla was the stronger of the two, her blows did less damage to the base structure than Luke's, her damage was spread over a large area.
I turn to the mages entering the room.
"Earth! Create support pillars on the left side of the room now! And then solidify the walls more."
The warriors on that side were completely killed by the two idiot berserkers, at the end of the combat Luke cut half of the massive wooden trunk that is in the corner of the room being the support for the support column that runs through the center of the room with his last blow.
This idiot is really trying to destroy this base with his blows, and he's doing it after being ordered not to use the fire element so as not to damage the base's structure too much.
Does he think his wind element is not destructive? Is cutting the room's support columns a good idea so as not to destroy the base? Without the supporting columns, will the ceiling magically stay in place?
Idiots!
As I made my way down, Quinn had already erected earth pillars on both the left and right sides, the earth around the room was also getting harder, but before I started down, I noticed the mana and elemental energy coursing through the arrangements. The building's runes began to get chaotic.
It seems that after all the damage done by the two super excited idiots the mana and elemental energy that was running through the building started to collapse after there were so many new deviations in the structure of the building.
We are in danger right now, if these runic arrangements collapse the walls and ceilings of the building collapse, the only way to fix this now is to go straight to the fountain that is on the next floor or readjust the flow of the walls.
Unfortunately, I don't have time to fix the energy flows on both sides of the building, they were damaged over a very wide area and fixing them is not a very easy job.
I summoned my aura and elemental energy and ran towards the matrix core which is on the next floor, I basically walked through the stairs without touching it. The angle of the decision was perfect to 'fall' from one floor to the other, when landing on the top floor a pulse of energy ran through the entire building cracking the walls slightly.
Shit the structure collapsed!
But when I looked ahead, I saw Ana holding a black scroll on top of the core that fed all the runes in that base, she didn't warn me that she could do that.
She has forcibly turned off the rune arrays that are embedded in this building, she has isolated the core that feeds the base with a very complex rune array. I didn't know she knew so much about runes, but as I got closer, I noticed that weird black parchment.
Not only is it a different color than the parchment I used before to help me open the barrier without causing an alarm to go off, it's a magical tool!
This scroll has a sheet of metal between the paper and the scroll insulation, and several runes that feed the rune set with core anergy at each end of the scroll.
This is the first time I've seen a magic tool of this kind and I've already researched a lot about magic tools, I have an instinctive fear of magic tools because in the first book I read about them there was a remarkable phrase."
'Magical tools can have infinite form and effects, they are only limited by the imagination of their creator. May this book serve as a guide for your first steps into the wonderful world of magical tools.'
Those words might have been flowery, but they wouldn't have allowed them in the library if there hadn't been some truth to that statement. So, I'm always nervous about magic tools.
"This looks like a cool toy."
With an evil grin hidden by her helm, Ana glared in my direction as she set the parchment on top of the core of the runic arrangements that is hidden in a corner of the floor under a table that is now turned-on Ana's side.
"You thought only you knew how to handle runes; this one is one of the new intentions of the runemasters of the royal family. He can perform some changes on enemy runes when he is fed mana and aura, carrying one of these I can seal cores, break runic arrays by force and disrupt the flow of mana and elemental energy over a very large area."
"Do you feel yourself being replaced by a magical tool, little Wolf?"
"This replaces my abilities with this magic tool that shoots a fireball replaces a mage. This toy is nothing more than a useful tool in times of emergency, but I would be careful to use it, my great leader."
"What do you mean by that?"
"You damaged the entire base structure quite well by using this magic scroll to isolate the core that powered the base."
"This damage is quite manageable, the base can withstand at least three pulses like this before it starts to break, Wolf, no need to get so nervous."
"You're right about that, but you're forgetting about those two idiots upstairs who don't know how to control themselves."
"What happened up there?"
"Water and Vanguard got so excited releasing blades of wind and aura that they damaged the entire base structure. We were lucky that they only completely cut off one of the supporting fingers."
Ana's calm aura is suddenly quickened by her anger, her aura is almost coming out of the pores of her skin. I understand why she's so pissed off, if I hadn't sent Quinn to strengthen the room's structure with her magic, the mana pulse that the core releases when sealed, might have brought down part of the base.
"Take care of that trapped light mage and the two idiot warriors that lockout. I'm going upstairs to talk to those idiots, the magic scroll can only seal the core for half an hour so you have plenty of time to create locks around the core to repair the damage the base's rune arrangements have suffered."
"Am I going to have to fix all the damaged rune arrangements?"
"Of course, yes! Do you have a problem with that?!"
She's really in a bad mood right now.
"Of course not, I'll start tidying down here the sooner I eat the sooner I finish."
I hope those two idiots suffer a lot; I'll have to work for several days to repair all the damage the base has suffered because of those idiots.
