Chapter 1385: Separated

A few minutes before the battle at the shipyard took place, two dozen acolytes snuck out of the complex with anxious looks on their faces. Their eyes were fixed on the distant horizon that embodied their long-awaited freedom.

However, as they were all without the protection of the main group, they couldn't help but feel too exposed to dash across the fields towards said freedom. Especially when they saw the approaching thousands of Nightwalker creatures that had filled up one part of the courtyard and were currently clashing with the elves.

"Those things!! There are so many of them!!"

"They are leaving us!! We must go now!!"

"No! Are you crazy?! We won't make it with those creatures in the way!!"

While they were busy debating whether to go or not, they suddenly fell silent when they saw hundreds of Nightwalkers split from the horde and head right in their direction.

"We are going to die!!" screamed one of them hysterically.

It was at that moment that a swirling portal suddenly appeared in front of them. The group could see four people walking out from within. The only female of the four immediately shouted upon seeing them, her tone scolding.

"What are you idiots doing just standing there?! Do you want to die!? Get inside right now!!!"

Without waiting for a response from the dumbfounded group, Silva told the three acolytes who came with her to quickly close the door. The acolytes outside immediately ran back inside and made it just in time before the door tightly shut.

"Alright, now we will stay inside until help comes. We will also split into groups and look for anyone who was inadvertently left behind during the chaos," said Silva in a serious tone as she led the group.

Hearing those words, Jai Strider quickly took out his tiny mechanical spiders and told the others about the interior layout of the place after they had explored it.

He discovered that there were two rooms where their friends were most likely to be held captive in, which were located some distance from one another

"Alright, so we split into two groups?" Arcana asked, evidently a little anxious at the idea of them splitting up.

Before Silva could make up her mind, Jai also told her about a certain girl being held captive in Grand magus Zenonia's room. A pondering expression appeared on the white-haired girl's face.

Another voice interrupted before she could make her decision.

"No! Split into three groups because of only one girl? No, I am against this!" said Arcana, protesting the idea.

Hearing that, Silva glanced at the child-looking acolyte and said, "You do know that the girl is the ticket for us getting out of here, right?"

Realizing this was Emery's girl they were talking about, Arcana's opinion immediately underwent a 180 degree change. On the other hand, Silva had finally made up her mind. She told the others to split into two groups, while she herself would go alone to save the girl.

It was quickly decided that Jai would lead half of the acolytes to the room on the east side, while Arcana would lead the rest to go to another room on the west side.

The moment the plan was set, the group was startled by a loud bang that came from the closed door behind them. They instinctively looked at each other and knew what the other was thinking without saying anything when they saw each other's expressions.

The acolytes moved quickly as they realized the time they had was limited as the creatures outside were clearly currently trying to force their way in. As if that wasn't enough, an even louder bang could even be heard from the other side, one that created tremors throughout the whole compound.

"That's a grand magus level battle down there" Staring at the acolytes, Silva said with a serious tone, "Unless you are bored of living, I suggest you don't go near it"

The two deafening sounds attacking them from all directions added another reminder that they didn't have much time left. Hence, they wasted no more time and quickly headed towards their respective objectives.

With her extraordinary agility, Silva knew that wandering around this place on her own would be much faster and safer especially with her [invisibility cape] on. The white-haired girl quickly headed up to the second floor on the west corner, making her way to the room Jai had told her about.

When she had just turned in the direction of the room, Silva quickly backed away silently when she sensed that the room was actually being guarded. She couldn't help but click her tongue in annoyance when she realized the guard's strength.

"Dammit, it's a magus." Sighing, she muttered under her breath,

Since there wasn't much time for her to come up with a plan, the headstrong Silva decided to go on with a frontal solution. Just when she was finally closing in on the figures through the cover of the shadows, Silva saw a second figure and heaved a sigh of relief.

"I can sense you there! Come out now!!" Shouted the magus guard

While staring in the direction where Silva was, the magus on guard barked with threatening eyes. a human half blood in a dark cloak, he must have been one of Zenonia's henchmen. However, the smile on her face did not disappear as she recognized the red hair of the girl standing next to the magus.

"To think I would see you here," said Silva towards the figure, whom she had spent months with on a certain island.

Hearing those words, the figure with short crimson hair quickly replied, "Likewise."

As soon as the red-haired girl said those words, she took a sudden action, not toward the serpent girl, but instead the magus stood next to her. With a practiced movement, she stabbed the magus right in the heart with her knife.

This action of hers naturally shocked the magus, a look of apparent disbelief as well as rage on his face as he turned his face towards her.

"Arrgh you!! Why are you..!? Traitor!!!"

The magus quickly took out his defensive artifact to push Annara away, but before he could recover, Silva had already charged at him.

The dark cape magus was a bat half blood proficient in the law of shadow, unfortunately being injured and surrounded, he could not show any of his power of shadow. In just a short minute, the magus quickly found himself overwhelmed. He could only watch helplessly as the two teamed up and finished him off.

Silva looked at the crimson hair girl and said "Emery said that you are on our side, I guess it's true…"

The girl appeared a little surprised and answered "He's wrong… I am on no one's side"

"We must hurry, there are three more of these bustards around here somewhere, and you don't want them to be the one that sneak up on us"
