Chapter 638: 638
"U-uhm, there are 13 underground floors in this prison, but they’re generally divided into five levels and each level is three floors, with the exception of the 13th floor . Us, prisoners of the first level are put here for relatively minor crimes and aren’t strong . Venerable’s strength is mighty so if I had to take a guess, he’ll be put in the third or fourth level . "
Esco raised his head and explained the structure of the prison and how it functions . For a weak prisoner, he was knowledgeable, at least enough to satisfy Arthur’s curiosity .
"Each level is handled by a chief guard and if they sound the alarm, the rest will replicate within seconds . "
"And who’s the strongest in here, no, let me rephrase it, how strong is the Warden and the Chief guards . "
"The Chief guards are as strong as eight-winged angels, as for Warden Habs... I really don’t know . " The muscular prisoner paused for a moment before hesitantly saying: "But he’s a very ambitious person . "
"Ambitious? What makes you say that?"
"He has no special background but still managed to climb all the way here, moreover, he’s human yet managed to rule over angels . He’s the only person Heaven trusts to manage this godforsaken place . "
*****
The prison was split into two parts, the underground one is where prisoners are held and the black structure Arthur and co saw is where the personnels live . The Warden’s office is also at the top of this massive ominous building .
"Anything new?"
A man with long crimson hair and sword-shaped eyebrows was resting on his leather chair while listening to an angel’s report . The angel had eight white wings spreading from his back and emitted an aura no less threatening than an Exalted God .
"The situation in Heaven is still unresolved, however, there have been talks about a possible solution . "
"Which is?" Habs fiddled with a dagger while listening to handsome male angel .
"A young World Tree was found in a low-realm somewhere in the System Universe . Actions has not been taken yet as there is a strong chance the System may retaliate if a large force of angels appear uninvited . "
"Interesting . Very interesting . Do they expect some kind of resistance? Is that why they’re planning to send numerous forces?"
"That’s most likely the case . "
The warden tapped the dagger’s hilt on the table, continuously and almost periodically as he was lost in thought . After an indeterminate amount of time, he added:
"Anything else?"
"Three unknown individuals were discovered and caught within the prison’s vicinities but their strength is negligible so they were put on the first level . "
"Hmm negligible you say?"
Seeing Habs’ strange reaction, which is different from his nonchalant one, the angel furrowed his brow but didn’t speak .
"In the prison’s vicinity and negligible strength? That doesn’t make sense now, does it?"
The angel listened to the warden without uttering a word . By now, he was used to how Habs behaves and how he talks to himself .
"Just entering this planet is a feat of its own yet you say ’negligible’, I find that... worrying . Are they human?"
"They appear to be so but since the proper procedure hasn’t been done yet, we can only assume so . "
Although the prison is undoubtedly huge, it isn’t every day that prisoners are captured and brought here . In fact, it rarely happens, especially special cases where they’re discovered kilometers away from here and this definitely prickled Habs’ interest .
*****
Instead of immediately heading deeper into the prison, Arthur stayed for a few hours in the cell along with Shen Shen, Vyncent, and the rest of the cowering prisoners . The number of guards was staggering and every fifteen minutes exactly, a patrol of six angels would pass in front of the cell to check on the situation . They weren’t strong but were highly vigilant and didn’t drop their guard even though the prisoners were trapped and severely weakened .
Arthur cannot use Space Magic, however, [Faster Than Death] didn’t qualify as a teleportation and was accessible, fortunately . Moreover, Arthur could easily bypass the thick floor under his feet by transforming into a plant or an ant but his disappearance would be discovered soon and that would complicate things . The best solution is to infiltrate the deeper floors by possessing some one of high status, like one of the Chief Guards .

Esco said that they are no weaker than Exalted Gods so he needs take down one of them swiftly and without being noticed . It’s going to be hard but if done meticulously and thoroughly, it’s definitely possible .
Sadly, the Dark Cloud which can act as his substitute is with the main Arthur so he has to resort to the shadow clone, which is temporary and noticeable by stronger individuals .
The clone remains for two minutes at most, so within 120 seconds, he needs to take down the Chief Guard and come back here . Once his target has been taken down, the rest will smoothly proceed . By possessing someone with a lot of power, he can transfer ’himself’ into another safer place so he won’t have to worry about potential mishaps .
Apparently, the Chief Guard of the first level is, surprisingly, a goblin named Buo Buo . Apart from his distinguishable appearance, little information is known about him as he isn’t as active as the other Chief Guards, nevertheless, Arthur chose him as his first target since he’s the closest . Buo Buo is also rumored to be the weakest amongst the five .
...
A very short and hideous-looking blue-skinned goblin sat on a comfortable sofa while enjoying a lavish feast . He was surrounded by pretty elves who served him food and satisfied his desires . The chief guard was so engrossed that he didn’t the approach of an invisible figure . Arthur easily bypassed the barriers put around this place and successfully infiltrated Buo Buo’s private room .
"Buoyoyoyoyoyo pour me more wine!"
His unpleasant laugh echoed across the large and luxurious room, which was unbefitting of the prison . He noticed nothing as the parasite got within fifty meters of him, the latter’s aura was non-existent and he was currently in the form of a tiny snake that can turn invisible .
Arthur thought that’s it’s going to be easier than he expected but, out of the blue, Buo Buo suddenly got up and looked around .
"Did something bother you, master?"
After looking around for a few breaths, Buo Buo shook his head, grinned while showing his disgusting teeth and said: "It’s nothing nothing buoyoyoyoyo!"
A split second later, something flashed before the goblin’s eyes, startling him . Buo Buo’s body slightly shook before his eyes turned livid and his liveliness vanished . His body remained motionless for sometime before he returned to his laughter as if nothing happened .
Arthur converted all of his strength into Agility and Intelligence and activated [Transmutation], granting him speed that far surpassed the goblin’s reaction time . He unleashed a concentrated green bolt of lightning which headed straight for the target’s brain . It was a swift and clean attack which was not resisted or blocked, it allowed Arthur to end Buo Buo and possess his body .
This time, Arthur purposely chose to obtain the goblin’s stats and skills as he needs to act like the real chief guard . The increase in stats was significant, moreover, he gained powerful skills in the goblin’s possession . The interesting ones were [Goblin’s Gold Bag], [Apex Slavery], and [Handler’s Telekinesis] . In fact, the last one was an Enigma skill which caused a reaction with his own [Telekinesis] .
