Debauchery of a Soul-Eating Wraith

Chapter 48: The Secret Is Out!

...

-Yvette's Room-

The passionate session eventually ended after many orgasms from the participants.

Yvette was now snuggled happily in bed covers that protected the lewd image of Evian's seeds leaking in copious amounts out of her pussy.

Now fully dressed in the Larnak Military attire he had come to Yvette's room in, Evian retrieved a piece of parchment from his spatial ring. On the parchment was a map that very clearly depicted the Larnak Estate.

Evian's eyes roamed the map until they fell on a particular landmark that had been his reason for visiting The Larnak Estate today;

The Larnak Family Vault.

Evian had spent the past two days with the Crew. He had gotten to know them better, gotten involved with Plans that irrevocably involved him now.

The quad of Gillert, Ember, Gryon, and Carleine had a habit of looking to him when they plotted how to steal the next batch of Tax funds. They still looked to him as the 'Old Evian' hoping he could lead them right to pull off a successful heist.

With enough support from Ember's father, Erik Lockheart the Merchant, as well as residuals from previous jobs, the Crew had access to certain equipment that they claimed was enough for the 'Old Evian' to come up with a feasible plan.

Alas, Evian was not the 'Old Evian'.

He couldn't think like they wanted him to and he didn't bother to try.

Why go for Tax Funds when you can go for the motherload?

"We should go for the Vault. You said it yourself, It holds all the valuables the Larnak Family holds dear. What better way to cripple their power than to rob them blind?"

Ember shook her head,

"It can't be done."

"Why not?"

"Well, it's a stronghold. We have no chance of getting into it before getting caught." Ember said.

Evian raised a brow and smiled before inching closer to her.

"I can do it. You know I can."

Ember knew what he was referring to. So far, she was the only one he had entrusted with the knowledge of his ability to Phase through objects. But even then she shook her head.

"Forget it, it's too risky. There's a whole thing that involves the Vault. If we could go for it, don't you think we would have?"

Gillert nodded.

"She's right.

Even when we targeted the Larnak Spear, we made sure to go for it at a moment Larnak had it out for ceremonial reasons. Well, YOU made sure.

Robbing the Vault can't be done. Let's focus on what we CAN do." Gillert said.

Despite the nay-saying, Evian felt it was possible and came to the Estate on his own to scout out his mark. But of course, one stop was essential before he moved on.

Anyway,

With Wraithic Phasing, he left Yvette's room and set out on his way. The unflattering Guard Hat of the uniform he had on provided enough cover so he could walk swiftly through the Estate grounds without instantly calling attention to himself.

Outside, the Guards were constantly on the move. A detail that caused Evian to raise his brows. When he first arrived at the Estate today, they had mostly been stationary and even when on patrol, it had not been as agitated as this.

Whatever had gotten the Guards moving had them focused on everything besides the one odd 'Guard' not moving with the mass. It gave Evian even more of a chance to approach his target.

The Vault-building was a part of the main Estate buildings. A position clearly chosen so it was close to the head of the Family, who in current times, was Herbert Larnak.

Guards stood post at the Vault-building but with how casual they appeared, it was clear they were only there for appearance's sake. So lax were they that Evian felt they were killable- Their Knight Orders were certainly not at a level that could threaten him but he decided against taking their lives. Yet.

He preferred to secure his loot first.

The Guards were easy to bypass and the moment Evian was in the building, it was immediately very clear he was in the right place.

The Vault, large as it was, looked like a separate structure within the building, with a massive stronghold door basically melded to the rest of the structure. Ordinarily, the material of the Vault looked strong and secure... Probably could handle the might of a Sixth Order Knight but that was only the first part of its fortification.

Symbols glowed all over the structure and the door as obvious signs of active enchantments- The real security that had been entrusted to keep the Larnak Family treasures safe. Able to recognize authorized spiritual energy. An appropriate foil to the deliberately lax security.

He walked close and gently placed his hand against it. Listening for the slightest disturbance that would call attention to what he was trying to do. He was careful with rubbing his hand all over the symbols of glowing enchantments while feeling the hum of magical power they held.

Eventually, he phased the hand he had against the Vault and was not surprised when he was unable to push through it.

"Expected," he mumbled, "The enchantments should rightly be beyond my level."

He looked down and knelt on the hardwood building floor before placing his phased hand against the floor in front of the Vault. It went through.

"If the base of the Vault isn't fortified, precise use of my Phasing should get me in," Evian mumbled with building excitement at possible success but the 'if' in his sentence remained a big one.

With how the Vault looked like a separate structure within the room, it stood to reason that the base was made with the same material as the rest of it i.e. Strong enough to resist Martial force.

That said, there was a slight chance they had not bothered to add in the enchantments to the base as they had done with the upright sides of the Vault- That slight chance was all Evian's quickly cooked-up plans relied on.

Also, while he had gotten better with choosing his angles for his phasing over the past couple of days, Evian had not gotten so good to be precise.

"Alright," he mumbled, "The first test."

He Phased his entire body, sunk into the ground, and only two seconds later, he returned to the surface to find himself many feet away from the Vault. Still inside the building.

"Damn it," he groaned in annoyance, "One more time."

He tried it again and was just as imprecise as before.

"Come on, Evian! Visualise your spot. Choose it well, angle your body, and do it!"

Psyching himself up, Evian leaned his body back and made sure he was at a Forty-five-degree angle to the ground before he phased. Alas, right before his intangible body hit the room floor and sunk away from sight, his posture slipped, and his body fell even lower to a Thirty-degree angle.

By the time he returned to the surface, he had offshooted his target by a wide margin.

He was completely out of the Vault-building and now standing in the massive courtyard of the Main Larnak Estate buildings.

"Fuck!" Evan let out in frustration quickly looking around in the hope his sudden emergence had not drawn attention to him.

It hadn't.

The Guards remained as enthusiastically on the move as they had been when Evian first sought out the Vault-building and they had no time to pay him any attention.

Evian turned away from them, ready to return to the Vault and try again when he overheard multiple conversations that pulled his attention to the reason there was such movement in the Estate.

These Guards were moving to keep the Estate in a constant lockdown- No one in and no one out while a Captain-led Squad left the grounds to join up with Patrol Squads in the Doreen district all for the purpose of laying siege to the base of the Resistance.

The secret of Viyeen Complex was out!
