Chapter 13 - Retrieving the Maps

After the wedding Lenin took a small break leaving the siege of Gellnor in the hands of Adlaf and spending time with his wife. But now he believed enough time had passed the Gramwis soldiers must be tired of the siege as well.

So he called Horis and his people for support and told him to meet in the camp near Gellnor.

After a while all of them met with each other and thought of a way to attack the city. Adlaf thought as now they had greater numbers they could just ram their way through. I mean we also have an arch mage on our side. He said.

But things weren't as easy as an arch mage couldn't fight normal people, that

Would be a huge taboo for them. Neither could they go for the throne. They had grown past these things. They could serve the lords to help their people or could just go on their own journey unbothered by other people as no one else could really stop them.

With that being another problem Horis came up with another idea. He suggested using the underground labyrinth which were setup in the older times by the founders of Gellnor. But there was one problem with this..... The maps were kept in the library of Denla. Which was heavily guarded. But Bek decides he will be responsible for retrieving the blueprints of the labyrinth.

It wasn't so easy though as time was of the essence cause once Darzen comes to know of this. He will think of a counter especially with Karma by his side.

So with the plan set in motion it was decided that Bek will get the maps while Lenin and Horis will be ready with their army. But Bek only had 3 days to do so otherwise the enemy might realise their plan.

So Bek made his way towards the library in the dead of night. He entered through a high window. It was too easy he thought to himself. Oh well I should just hurry up and leave. But as he entered deeper into the library it turned into a huge maze with giant shelves and mountain of books. So he started using his magic making his way through with sonic speed. Finally he saw it the maps of the underground labyrinth in a far off chamber. But as he entered the chamber the doors suddenly closed behind him and two giant golems appeared in front of him. It was a trap.

He struck one of em with his sword at high speed.

.... SNAP!....

His sword was in two. Whoever made this trap was aware of his tactics and designed it with him in mind.

"Oh well if speed doesn't work strength it is" Bek said.

He starts chanting...

Bek was a wind user by nature. He just preferred using sound based attacks at it got the job done faster.

He conjures his spell "AEISARON"

A hude tornado appeared in front of them which engulfed both the golems smashing them to bits.

Then something out of the blue happened. The destroyed golems start to reattach and became this single huge two headed golem. It trys to squish Bek but he creates a defensive barrier just in the nick of time.

He thinks to himself what to do ...

"Screw it. Enough of being discreet.

Time to go big or go home"

With that being said he utters the words,

"AINFIJARON"

A huge explosion takes place as the whole roof and that segment of the library gets completely obliterated. As if a huge hurricane had struck there.

After taking care of the golems. Bek quickly grabs the maps and makes his way back.
