Chapter 200 Night of Flames (2)
Seeing something forming above him, the Baron shuddered at the thought that his man had just been 'fried' by one of those attacks.
Since he had no time to dodge, he just made a terrible face and prepared to receive it.
But when he saw the blue beam falling towards him from a huge hole that had formed above this area, the body of one of the three Fuller family emissaries suddenly appeared in front of him.
Baron Irwin's eyes widened seeing it, not expecting one of those weak men to actually jump in front of him!
'What?' He thought but couldn't say anything. Even before his expression changed due to the movement of that level 1 Acolyte, Baron Irwin saw that body being electrocuted until smoke poured out of the falling man's orifices.
It all happened very quickly, but Baron Irwin felt he had seen everything in slow motion, and time was passing differently for him. This didn't last long, however, and as soon as the man fell unconscious to the ground, this nobleman of the kingdom regained his senses.
Gupl!
"Quick, let's leave this place!" He shouted to the two men from the Fuller family, grateful that one of them had sacrificed himself for him but afraid that he wouldn't get another chance.
Feeling that the man's heart had stopped beating, the Baron could only leave this place at the side of these two men and perhaps thank Vicente Fuller in the future for such a man's movement.
The two men showed fear but said nothing, leaving their companion behind as they followed the Baron to one of the estate's alternate exits.
With the place under attack from powerful and daring enemies, there was little Baron Irwin could do but try to save his own life.
The attack that had killed the level 8 General on his team could seriously injure him!
As a man who valued his life above all else, Baron Irwin wouldn't risk himself for what was on this estate, nor would he fight an enemy who could even kill him!
But even though he was sure that he had to escape from this place, the man couldn't help but feel terrible about having to leave his riches behind and flee cowardly.
'Damn it! Who would do such a thing? Who would dare to attack me? I'm a fucking nobleman of the Seidel Kingdom!' He thought, feeling that he had to seek justice after leaving his estate.
Only the army and the Viscount's family could help him in this situation!
...
As Baron Irwin fled with two emissaries from the Fuller family, Vicente finally left his hiding place and stopped beside his unconscious soldier.
Having eliminated or scared away his strongest enemies, Vicente looked at this man who had had his heart stopped and was lying where he had been hit.
Vice crouched beside him, placed a hand on the man's left chest, and sparks shot out.
'That discharge was enough to stop your heart but didn't destroy any of your organs. You'll live.' He saw that his theories were correct, and after a few seconds, he felt the man's heart beating again.
With that done, he picked up the man's body and left, heading for the estate's basement.
As he left, Vicente once again cast a spell based on the earth element, causing the area where his man should have fallen to be destroyed as part of the estate collapsed.
With little opposition, he quickly went underground to a tunnel connecting this property to Millfall's sewer system.
Millfall had a very complex sewage and drainage system, with several underground galleries and tunnels. Many of the local noble families had alternative exits from their estates to this system for escape in times of need.
Vice already knew this, and when he had planned to rob the Irwin family weeks ago, Vicente had already ordered two men to dig a tunnel connecting one of these underground tunnels to an estate in Millfall through which he could escape.
The group of nobles from the Irwin family should be fleeing that way right now, but Vicente wasn't worried. Dressed as a servant of this estate and with Lena waiting for him, he was willing to risk himself alongside the nobles fleeing through this place.
Only members of this family and trusted people knew about the access to the local sewer, so his chances of escaping there without being seen suspiciously would be less than if he fled by another route.
With that in mind, he quickly arrived where several members of the Irwin family, subordinates, women, and relatives of the Baron were desperately fleeing, some injured, but most relatively well.
There was a steel door in the way, but Vicente would never have been able to manipulate it at his current level. It was designed to withstand even the attacks of low-level Mages, as were the defenses around this estate.
Just as he would never be able to enter this place without someone opening a door for him, he would never be able to leave the area secretly without someone else opening a door for him.
When he arrived, Vicente saw the people waiting for their turn to leave, each standing in front of the exit and identifying themselves to the people on the other side of the door.
To be a security point where only members of this force could pass, the door there could not be left open. Those on the other side could only open it for one person at a time.
Luckily for Vicente, one of the people on the other side of the door was none other than Lena, the servant Rory had managed to convince to join his group for 10% of the coins they would raise that night.
When he got there, Vicente didn't wait and went to the side of the door. "This man saw the enemy that attacked us. Please let us through!" He walked through, avoiding people's faces as he seemed in a hurry, blood dripping down his face and his hair covered in dust.
No one could tell who Vice was. But since he was there and wearing servant's clothing, no one suspected him at first.
When Lena heard Vicente's voice, she swallowed her saliva and said. "Let him through to the front."
Then the door's mechanisms moved, and it opened, allowing Vicente to pass through with his man on his back.
But on this side of the steel door, a level 7 General controlled the passage of people next to Lena.
Seeing them, the Irwin family guard raised his eyebrows, curious to know what that man had seen.
