Chapter 294: The Shadow Thief's Counterattack

At nightfall, vampires and shadow thieves begin to fight the streets of Ascatra for control of the underworld. Due to the attack of vampires, many people who are afraid of death have quietly surrendered to vampires. Renault. Bloody looked at the bad news coming back one by one, and couldn't help frowning. He knew very well that if he didn't dig up the traitors, the entire guild would be dismembered alive in a month or two.

It has to be said that the tactics developed by Bardy were very successful. The vampires are slaying killers against the shadow thieves while absorbing those who defected. This is one of the reasons why the Temple and the Knights did not really intervene even though they began to investigate. They wanted to wait for the fall of the Shadow Thieves before they took action to eradicate the city's underground forces in one fell swoop.

Just as Renault was considering whether to ask the "Shadow Council" for help, suddenly, a thief appeared in front of him silently.

"Boss, I've already looked into it. Maiva has betrayed the union completely, and he secretly made a big deal for the vampires without us a little over a month ago. ”

Renault couldn't wait to get up from his chair and ask, "Tell me about the specific situation!" You have to know that the union is not doing very well, and we lose a lot of manpower every night. ”

"Maiva, this son of a bitch, helped a man named Joan a month ago. The mages of Irenikas have captured a group of adventurers from Baldur's Gate. According to information from the Tao, one of them was the son of the god of killing, Baal. And it was the vampire who was in charge of dealing with Maiva at the time, and I think there must have been a lot of secret between them. "The thief 1510 told all the news he had found.

After receiving the name of the betrayer, Renault did not get furious as others thought, but sat back in his chair and smiled playfully. A few minutes passed. He instructed the thieves, "Check the forces in the station now." Where are these captured adventurers being held. As for Maiva, don't act rashly yet. We no longer have the strength to launch an internal purge. ”

"Okay, Boss. I promise to find them tomorrow morning. With that, the thief quickly left the Shadow Thief headquarters.

"Son of Baal, hehe, this is really an unexpected good helper." Renault muttered to himself. As the ruler of the underworld, he knew all too well the power of the Son of God. These guys are born with divine powers, and they are a hundred times faster than ordinary people in learning magic and martial arts. The most important thing is that they have great potential, and once they are oppressed by the external environment, they are likely to explode ten times or even a hundred times more destructive power.

More than three hours later. The thief in charge of finding out the news returned to the Shadow Thief's headquarters with a piece of parchment. He went to the chief's desk and immediately spread out the map.

"Boss, I've already found the other party's lair. The brothers near the mall said they could often hear screams coming from the sewers inside. They tried to scout, but they all died at the hands of the magic trap. ”

Renault glanced at the map and nodded in satisfaction. "Very well done. Now organize your men and launch a surprise attack on this place as soon as it is dawn. Remember, just lure the enemies out of the room, and let the masked mages have a headache for the rest. ”

"Hehe, I see. Rest assured. I'm going to drag the Masked Mage Guild into the water. The thief smiled sinisterly and immediately went to carry out the chief's order.

Look at the back of his departing men. A smug smile appeared on Renault's face. He felt that his plan was simply perfect, not only to sell a favor to the son of Baal, but also to make this man called Joan. Mage Irenikas is captured. I don't know what his relationship with the vampire is, but it doesn't matter. There is no precedent for a prisoner who has been sent to the Forbidden Prison by a masked mage to escape.

The next morning, it was just dawn. The Shadow Thieves Guild Assassin, who had ended the night of fighting, did not return to his lodgings to rest, but was transferred directly to the sewer entrance in the northern part of the mall. After a few gestures from the person in charge of the operation, the Assassins hid themselves in the shadows. They quietly entered the sewers, but within a few steps they heard a "click", followed by a fireball that bounced off the ground and exploded.

The heat of the flames and the waves of qi killed three people in an instant, and four or five others were affected by different paths. The person in charge's face turned ugly, because with so many elite thieves, none of them had discovered the trap just now. This means that the enemy's means are very skillful, and the road to the inside is estimated to require human life.

At the same time, Henry, who had just woken up, received an anonymous letter in front of the counter in the lobby on the first floor. He carefully dismantled it with the "mage's hand", and was relieved to see the unique mark that belonged to Robert. The letter said nothing else, it was the Shadow Thieves Guild that launched a campaign against Joan. Irenikas' raid.

After receiving the news, Henry immediately packed up his equipment, and went straight to the mall without even informing Hina and Shantil. He didn't want to miss the opening and was a little worried about Aamon's situation. You must know that transforming into a killer is a great burden on your body, and I hope there will be no accidents.

To get from the city gate to the shopping mall, you need to pass through a large area of slums in the middle. Walking down the street, Henry suddenly heard passers-by talking about the western part of the area, and suddenly a huge sphere appeared out of thin air. It is said that the Masked Mage's Guild has begun to intervene and believes that the matter will be resolved soon. Hearing these people's discussions, a slight smile appeared on his face, and it seemed that the dimensional sphere had also returned to the main material plane. Now the stage has been set up, just waiting for the Son of Baal to appear and start a vigorous adventure.

As soon as he entered the mall district, Henry spotted a commotion in the distance. A horde of thieves are fighting golems, goblins, and gray dwarves that have wreaked havoc on all the shops in the Northwest. Due to the large number of shadow thieves, the monsters are retreating, and it seems that it will not be long before they are all annihilated. At that moment, suddenly a golem gave up the fight and turned around and ran towards the sewers. This move was an eye-opener for the thieves. Generally speaking, alchemy creatures fight to the death and never retreat, and this is the first time I have seen something like this that can run away.

Only Henry knew that this guy was running back to Joan. Irenikas reported the news. In order to avoid direct contact with this powerful mage, he directly blessed himself with a "stealth technique" and followed far behind. After all, there are sewers in all directions, and it would be impossible to find the underground chamber for hours without someone leading the way.

Along the way, he saw quite a few bodies, brains, arms, arms, legs, and so on soaked in jars. Surprisingly, all of these organs and limbs are still alive, and many of them retain their independent thoughts and personalities.

As he followed the golem past a garbage disposal room, Henry almost threw up. Hundreds of corpses and stumps were thrown here, and a huge rotting dung monster was devouring everything on the ground that would make it sick to its stomach at the first glance, and the smell of rancid blood combined with the unbearable picture was simply not something that normal people could bear.

Soon, the golem came to a room full of cages. From a distance, Henry saw a man with a toned body and a bruised face performing a magic spell on the man in the cage. You don't have to guess to know it's Joan. Irenikas, because one of his distinctive features is the absence of ears. As an exiled sinner, he was stripped of all his elven traits. As the iconic pointed ears of the elven race, of course, there can be no exception.

After listening to the golem's report, Joan angrily opens a portal to destroy the pesky little rats. Just as he was leaving, a thief suddenly sprang out of the shadows and ran straight to the cage where the captives were being held. However, this guy was obviously unlucky and touched a magic trap. I saw a human face suddenly appear on the ground, and it was immediately blown to pieces by the powerful magical energy.

In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of thieves, Henry directly turned on the magic "Detection Trap". I saw that there was dense red light everywhere around the cage, and more than fifty magic traps were placed in a place of less than four hundred square meters. It seems that Joan does not attach much importance to the Son of Baal, and it costs a lot of alchemy materials just to place so many traps.

Henry had no time to waste at all, so he directly blessed himself with a "flying technique" and flew forward from mid-air. Soon, around the corner, he found the Adamantite cage holding Aemon in captivity. Due to the lack of sunlight for a long time, the girl's face was very pale, and her clothes were in tatters, and she could barely cover the important parts. However, her positive and optimistic spirit has not been lost, and she is now gently fiddling with the door lock with a small wire.

"Hey, charming girl, don't waste your efforts. It's a magic lock, and it can't be broken with a single wire. Henry greeted with a smile. He could tell that the girl had been tortured, but fortunately the worst fears had not happened.

Startled by the sudden sound, Ammon hurriedly put the wire in the middle of his thigh and hid it. But when she saw that it was Henry, she jumped for joy. "Oh my God! You're finally here. Crack the damn lock, I can't wait to get out in the sun. ”

After Henry performed the "Disarming Magic" and "Tapping Technique", he heard a "click" and the cell door opened automatically. The girl rushed out of the cage and gave him a hot kiss without saying a word, and the two kissed each other greedily and caressed each other. After a while, they were reluctant to separate.

I don't know if it's because of fear or excitement, and Aemon is shaking all over her body. Henry gently stroked her hair and comforted, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." You're safe now. (To be continued......)
