Chapter 362: Battle At Makari Capital Part 2

Pov Nix:

As soon as we left the Dungeon and entered the hole the master made to reach the sewers.

In the sewers, Lilian and I went on separate paths from the other two, according to what Leonardo told us there are secret passages that lead to the 10 connections, Elsaris and I already know the location of these passages.

Elsaris and Layla were responsible for destroying 8 of the connections, while Lilian and I were responsible for destroying only 2, but that's because we have something else to do after that.

"You're ready?"  (I)

"Yeah, I don't think we'll have any problems with our part."  (Lilian)

Lilian and I follow to one of the secret passages while we stay hidden from the Kimera Soldiers, I hide in the shadows, but Lilian seems to disappear while hiding her presence completely.

Once we arrive at the entrance we wait for the patrols to pass before opening the passage by pressing two bricks that open the passage, as soon as we enter I put on an illusion to keep the passage open without calling attention to a quick exit if necessary.

It was a narrow corridor for one person that led us to a small room where there was a magic crystal floating in the middle of a magic circle, in addition, the entire room was made of black stone.

"A pity to destroy a magic crystal of this size."  (I)

"I can see why we can't destroy this and walk away, it has a lot of warning spells near the magic circle, it also has a barrier magic to defend the magic circle."  (Lilian)

"This would be useful against others, but rica's cursed fire can burn its own mana as fuel, everything in this room will be destroyed, once the barrier disappears the magic circle and magic crystal will be destroyed in seconds."  (I)

"I've seen the damage this purple fire has done to the extremists, even if someone makes it this far they won't make it through the fire or they'll be seeking their own death."  (Lilian)

"What time is the crystal to be activated?"  (I)

"After the sunrise, in an hour and a half or so."  (Lilian)

"Where would be the best place to put the crystal?"  (Lilian)

"Put it right here where we are, as long as it stays inside this room no matter where it is, after that we'll go to the next one."  (I)

"Right."  (Lilian)

Lilian takes a magic crystal that has a strong purple glow from her storage item and puts it on the floor, so we go back the way we entered, there were three kimera soldiers passing by, we waited a few minutes until they were far away, then we left and closed the passage before following our way.

We followed the same steps for the second connection, after entering the connection room I leave the crystal that was with me inside the room.

"Now we have to get out of the sewers."  (I)

"Do you have the poison barrels?"  (I)

"Yes, I'm impressed with the quality of this poison, not many Alchemists are capable of making something of that quality."  (Lilian)

"There are many reasons for this, Lyra has learned a lot about venoms from Arachnees and Lamias."  (I)

"Both races have studied alchemy for generations researching mainly on poisons."  (I)

"Also, the materials that were used in this poison were the master's and Jade's poisons, not to mention the other ingredients and mixtures that Lyra must have put in to make the poison's effects even more deadly."  (I)

"You were talking to Leonardo before we left the Dungeon, do you know where we are going?"  (Lilian)

"Yeah, we're going to need to get out of the sewers, the entrance to the place we want to go to stay on the surface."  (I)

After saying that Lilian and I went out through the passage closing the entrance before heading outside, the entrance the master created for us is now closed, so we will have to go through the sewer entrance.

We followed our path taking twenty minutes to reach the exit while we continued hiding from the Kimera Soldiers, at the entrance we saw that there were dozens of these soldiers looking outside, it must be preventing against us.

I grab Lilian's shoulder and we both start to sink into the shadows, doing this with someone else takes a lot of energy, but it will make it easier for us to get out.

I walk past all the soldiers going from shadow to shadow, when I get to the streets I go to an alley and come out of the shadows.

"These are very useful skills, I would love to have Affinity with the shadow element, it would have been very useful in my line of work."  (Lilian)

"Freya told me you've seen the master bestowing power and bloodlines, so you only need to talk to him after this is over."  (I)

"I wouldn't dare ask the holy son for anything..." (Lilian)

"Looks like Vanessa has a few things in store for you."  (I)

"She said I didn't need to hide the things she told me."  (Lilian)

"She's right, the master doesn't like to keep secrets from his companions."  (I)

"Then don't worry about it, besides I can talk to the master about you later, but I think you'll have to earn his trust first."  (I)

"The holy son still doesn't trust me."  (Lilian)

"Actually, he already trusts you since Vanessa accepted you as a subordinate."  (I)

"He just has doubts about his motives for agreeing to stay with us."  (I)

"Just tell him the truth after this is over."  (I)

After a little conversation we started walking from alley to alley to the place that Leonardo spoke to me before, it was a side street where some houses were, I could see the lights off in the houses.

I walked over to a two-story government building that houses maintenance tools and the entrance to the passage that the builders used during the construction of the sewers.

The building is empty so we have nothing to worry about, I open the passage and we go inside, then I take the paper where Leonardo drew the tunnel system that looks like a labyrinth.

Following the directions shown on the map, we arrive in a large room with stairs forming a dome on the floor, this is the top of the secret room where the magic control circle is.

"This is the place, prepare the poison, as soon as the explosions start we will throw the poison in there and head towards the castle."  (I)

"OK."  (Lilian)
