Chapter 212: Break It Down

Lake decided that they had had enough sleep for one night and went to wake them up. Once they were all ready to go he led them outside saying he had cleared the area around them and it was time for them to escape. A lot of them had seemed excited until they realized he didn't have a way out yet.

"Alright go ahead and grab a weapon. I don't want you all to break it, I just want to observe what it does while being attacked." After he said this they all got to work like he had asked and Lake pulled one of the dwarves from the Metal temple to the side and started to ask them questions about the formation that made the barrier.

They had been in the room while the Temple Head had been deciphering it so he was sure they had been given a good look at it and understood it at least a little. "Do you think it's safe for us to touch it?" Lake wanted to know what the dwarf had to say because if it was safe he could just have the others return for a break and take down the barrier before they returned.

"I don't know, the Temple Head said he couldn't fully read the formation meaning there could be a trap set for anyone who brought it down." Lake nodded he had been worried about something like this as well so he asked. "Do you think we should just wait?" It would most likely be the safest thing for them to do so he would agree if the dwarf said they should.

"Maybe until we get a message from the Temple, but there's always the chance the ones who come to let us out won't be the Temple." Lake guessed that was true but he felt it was unlikely because there would be other people here that would be around as strong as he was. That would go for the Demon Worshipers as well but the defenders should have an advantage.

Plus he had already taken out a huge part of their plan by killing everything here. This meant the Demon Worshipers would be missing a decently sized army they most likely planned to use near the end as some type of trump card plus with the fact that a large percentage of it was the gargoyles that could make more undead it would have been even bigger than it had been when he had destroyed them.

"I don't think we need to worry about the Metal Temple losing, but I do think it would be best if we could get out of here because I could help quite a bit if I wasn't here." Lake felt making himself sound important to the war effort in front of one of the three people that he knew were close to the Temple Head would help his perceived importance later.

Ducking under the first attack from the undead he hadn't hit yet, Donny went for its leg and seeing it fall to the ground decided this fight was over since these three wouldn't be able to chase him right away.

Finding a building with an intact door while running, Donny tried the handle and found it locked. Using his mana he opened it by messing with the lock. Walking inside he could tell he probably wasn't the only person here but with them hiding they were probably just people who lived in the city so they shouldn't kill him if they found him sleeping on their chair.

He was clearly just a normal person so they would understand he was a fighter that had needed a place to recover. Using his mana to relock the door Donny grabbed the chair and brought it further from the door. He didn't want to open any doors because it might cause whoever was hiding here to attack him so he just put the chair behind the only pillar in the room and sat down.

He could feel that he would be asleep in a matter of seconds when he closed his eyes but it didn't seem like he would be so lucky. Something was at the front door and while he didn't know if it was the undead or just someone who was trying to get in because they were running like he had they were clearly motivated to get in.

He couldn't just stay in his chair and let them break down the door so he got up and pulled his sword. Sadly this house had no windows he could use to look at what was at the door so he had to just open it and hope he could handle whatever it was. Waiting till the door stopped moving Donny swung it open and backed off.

Seeing a person he didn't drop his guard right away because undead looked like normal people sometimes. The fact that they weren't already attacking him was a good sign that they were just a normal human though. "Go away please." Donny didn't want to get involved in their struggle to survive so he just made it clear he was hostile in the hopes the person would realize they were better off moving on. "Just let me in for a little while."

Donny didn't understand how that would help them if he was just going to throw them out again in a few minutes so he said. "Go to that house over there. It's empty." He didn't know that for sure because the door had been torn down meaning anything could be inside but he didn't really care.

"It doesn't have a door." Donny shrugged and said. "Doors mean nothing if something wants to get inside a thin stone door won't stop them." He was pretty sure they had been about to smash this door when he had opened it so they should be able to accept this as truth. "Just let me in."

Donny was starting to think he would be better off leaving and letting them go inside and take his place. He could find somewhere else to sleep. "Fine, come on in." After the person walked inside Donny closed the door behind them and used Magic to make it get stuck closed. With this he would know if they had bad intentions towards him because they would have to break down the door to follow him into the streets they had been begging to get away from.

Looking down the street Donny decided to just move in the same direction as earlier to look for a place to rest. This part of town seemed pretty quiet at the moment even if it had signs that something had happened here earlier so it was safe enough to walk around.
