Chapter 133: Die Smiling Or Die Trying [3]

Amon finally arrived on the floor above.
'Only 5 floors..' He huffed.
He heard the sound of rushing footsteps from below.
Clicking his tongue, Amon started running again.
Their heavy equipment and weapons were enough to keep them at a certain distance from Amon.
However, due to the difference in ranks, it was inevitable that Amon would run out of stamina first.
Or so they thought...
Taking out a mana potion he had from Daniel and Lily back then, he gulped it down.
His mana instantly started replenishing as his body felt reinvigorated again.
Considering he had no blood in his body anymore, most of his physical stats and conditions were dependent upon mana.
Without looking back, Amon started running again.
Slowly and slowly, the corridors were starting to get familiar to him.
As he ran, he eventually reached a circular clearing in the floor.
From there, the paths diverged in 4 directions and a water fountain stood in the middle of the clearing.
But the worst part was...
Amon saw guards appearing from all directions.
He looked back, where he also saw the previous squad catching up.
Taking a single sweep of gaze around him, he counted them all.
There were 36 of them.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
His gaze cast up where he saw another circular corridor that ran along the perimeter of the clearing.
There were also 4 paths there.
As Amon found himself cornered from all directions, he coated one of his arms in crystal.
Then, he further coated it in sound elemental mana.
Suddenly, multiple attacks were hurled at him from the guards.
But without hesitation, he used [Voidstep].
He appeared on the other end of the fountain and without wasting a single second, he hurled his fist at the fountain.
It cleanly connected with its outer boundary, casting multiple webs of cracks on them.
But if that wasn't enough, Amon then applied the sound mana, and the minor cracks turned large.
It was on the brink of destruction now as it vibrated with sheer intensity.
The water rippled and went chaotic, turning faster and extending its range further.
Amon ducked, dodging multiple wind blades at him.
Without wasting a moment, he struck the fountain again.
This time it broke with a large boom, as the pieces of earth scattered all around, covering the area in dust.
The cold water also went haywire as it started rampaging with an even greater intensity. Amidst the clouds of dust, many attacks were fired off randomly at Amon that he barely dodged.
Some grazed or burned his clothes, eliciting a grit of teeth from him.
But regardless of the injuries, he kept his mind calm and raised a dome of crystal around him.
As the walls started to cover him, a tiny crimson marble shot in the air that none were able to
see.
As the dust cleared, the guards saw the crystalline dome.
It was the only thing that remained intact.
They were completely soaked now which enraged them further.
They immediately started hurling attacks at it which caused it to break within a few seconds.
However as it shattered into pieces, they saw no one inside it.
And then, their bodies suddenly twitched as their gazes turned up in a flash.
And immediately, their eyes widened as they tried to take a step back to dodge.
But it was too late as the large electrical cobweb fell on them.
Immediately, shocks started to pass through their bodies, paralyzing them in their place.
And then, 37 blood spears landed from above, right onto their heads.
They pierced through, ending each guard's life as they were pinned to the ground.

Amon sat in a secluded corner of the upper boundary.
He panted hard as he took another mana potion and gulped it down.
He had to be careful.
Large groups of guards like this would force him to use more mana to kill them.
This prompted him to use a mana potion which he only had 4 left now.
He had to try and take the smaller groups out on the way.
Standing up, he stumbled a little with tiredness but quickly composed himself.
He knew where to go from here.
Without wasting a moment, he headed in the left direction.
And after just running a short distance, he saw another boundary.
This was it.
He was in the right place.
But unlike the previous circular area, this one was much larger.
And by much, he meant much larger as the path around the vast circular area ran for
kilometers.
And in that vast circular space over the railing, hovered a gigantic translucent device in the shape of an apricot seed.
It covered the whole area in a neon blue glow with its honey comb shaped patterns that covered the whole device.
Hundreds of researchers stood along the boundary, still enveloped in their research despite the commotion Amon was causing.
It was so loud that it could probably he heard in the upper floors as well, which he could see from the floor to ceiling windows that functioned as walls of the area.
And as his gaze looked up, he saw it.
Right on the top floor.
The whole class stood along the windows, along with Athena and Arthur.
And all of their gazes...
Were currently fixated on him.

"WHAT!? THAT FUCKER ESCAPED!?" James shot up from his chair.
And so did the other 2 leaders as well.
All except the smiling old man.
"You better not be joking about this officer." Shina glared at the officer.
Even though the sirens could be heard, they often went off by accident in the institute or just
some prank by the officers.
After all, no leader could still believe a mana-locked guy of the 2nd order could escape from
the grasp of Matthew.
The officer panted hard.
"P-please huff huff...I'm not j-jok-"
Before the soldier could complete his sentence, James hurled him at the wall.
"Shut the crap. I swear I'll kill that fucker this time." James roared in anger before smirking.
"Yes, if he escaped. We should quickl-" Migar's words were interrupted as the door opened
with a bang.
Ren barged in with a cigarette in his hand under the shocked gazes of everyone.
He slumped down into James' chair.
"Ain't any of you bitches going anywhere." His sound occured in the silence of the room.
"Who the fuck are you to or-" James was about to grab Ren when another crisp regal voice
sounded in the room.
"Yes, nobody steps out of this room until I say so."
Everyone's head turned sharply where they saw Elizabeth standing with Alya, elegantly.
"This is the order of an Imperial Princess." Alya reinforced Elizabeth's order.
