A few hundred miles away from the hidden tunnel's location, a cloaked figure with a deep wound on his chest appeared.
"Damn it! Where did that monster come from!" He cursed before taking out a bottle filled with glowing gray liquid, carefully attaching it to the cavity below his mask, and then pushing it.
The gray liquid quickly emptied in his mouth, and the wound on his chest began to heal at visible speed, and soon it was completely closed.
'Damn bastard, he had me used this precious beyond unique rank healing elixir, not to mention that billions of ZC worth talisman! And here I thought I would leave without incurring any losses. Nonetheless, since I'm already out the range, I can activate all the rune booms and hope that bastard will be caught up in the explosion. Even if he won't be killed, he'll draw those fanatics' attention!'
Malice shimmered in his eyes as he was about to remove the runic plate, but he suddenly felt a bit sluggish.
