Esper the convo-territorial mana operated magic item was now in Beowulfia's hands.
It is strong and durable, made by mistake it is something better than a cheat in this world of sword and sorcery. Hein was currently the one who could use it decently and bring annihilation to the battlefield.
Being a advanced warfare mana item Esper was still hard to control for Hein, it needed a strong person with high states to use this machine easily.
Hein soon enough was thinking of teaching of to operate Esper to others and a way to replicate for their army, being available for their whole army it would just do a war crime for the entire world and create unbalanced region, which kept of Hein with progressing with the idea.
For the time being Hein tried not to give too much information about their trump card to the enemies. Keeping away Esper Hein
kept silent for time being and planned on helping Llorena out. Van seemed exhausted as well as he was now flying on a lower altitude and getting targeted mannier times.
Apparently Victor had asked Van if he needed any support support via telepathy which seemed to be a advanced level of special demon spell. Van was enjoying it and was a little exhausted but was self sufficient enough to last the battle.
As they progressed towards Llorena, they need to find her first being not able to find her everyone wondered where she went as she was fighting an undead. Searching for a few hours led them to forrest behind the castle from where the enemies moved in, enemy army was mostly finished and maximum of them running for their lives.
On further investigation the forrest had a hidden camp which enemies used to spy for a few days. When Hein and others b reached the camp they were approached by nothing but bodies of undead and dead soilders.
There was a giant crater which was on fire as well. Tents burning up, the place was heated. While arriving the crater and on further inspection Hein had found a cave system underneath it. Extinguishing off the fire everyone jumped with a blast making a greater hole. Hein saw a hall a natural made hall of stone with glow stones covering up the whole place lighting it up.
There was Llorena covered in mud,ash and blood. The giant undead broken in pieces and teared into shreads. Llorena was extremely exhausted and just fainted after watching her comrades enter. Handling the situation there were a many people with Van, Victor, Hein and other helpers and guards with them. Helping Llorena Hein decided to check the cave. The cave had many ways which lead to unknown splitting up thinking about it they moved inside as the path lead them. Hein was with some guards he thought of moving from the most narrow path, as they walked their directions were according to the old castle maps.
As they knew the castle was many centuries old had a very ancient and dark past, the ancient ruler of the castle was feared of getting captured which allowed him to think of the great strategy of creating deadly but effective cave system which cover the whole underground area and many pathways leading to safety.
The cave system was cruel, with many traps, it was like a effective exit for a guy who knew the roads but was same deadly to a unknown guy who had zero information.
The enemies could had captured the nation easily if were emerged by these caves.
As they moved they found as why the enemies didn't attacked by these caves.
There laid a dozens of enemy bodies slowly revealing into the dark. The traps had gone old but were effective as for ordinary humans who collided with weak undead it was a nightmare. The traps were targeted for humans mostly deadly enough for not to get spotted and kill slowly and mercilessly.
Poison traps were in majority which special Arcana poison everywhere which was known to the entire world for its deadly behaviour towards humans.
The traps were in a bunch of amounts so much that the creators must have gone crazy thinking about new trap ideas that they just placed the whole pathways with poison spells. The treasure which lead at the end of the caves was unfortunately previously discovered as a result of explosion disaster which dug up the soil discovering it a few years ago.
Whoever entered the maze was fooled good.
The treasure was a vitality stone which made the user immune to many types of poisons and venoms. The stoned was put to better use as was split up by a crowd affector machine to crush and be used by the whole kingdom which made most of the kingdom immune to poison leading to easy development. Which also served an easy purpose for Hien and his comrades to discover this cave system.
Being immune to many poison freely by doing nothing was worth a experience and who didn't loved it?
The kingdom offered it to all who paid there taxes as their citizen with this special benifit, which was hereditary as well.
Hein moved inside the path with poison filled with ease and continued to move ahead.
Moving for a whole day led them to a dead end supposed to be a end covered with soil and stones as closing the maze away forver from the side of the castle.
Hein blasted the soil and rock off the place creating a pathway for everyone they were approached by the basement of the castle which was apparantly a storehouse of the castle now.
As moving ahead a finishing up the investigation Hein freshed up and moved outside, soon metting Gregor talking with him about the Esper. After a few our other search teams returned as well with Van's team coming second and Victor's team at last. They were met by some enemies as well as Hein spoke with others it was little harder for them but gave them a lot of information. Van was a little sad for not coming in first not talked about it firstly he was thinking of this as a competition and thought that now he had achieved the second spot.
Everyone gained a lot of information and went to freshen up as being exhausted by the search and continuous fight.
