Chapter 131: The Battle in the Mansion (1)

Hey Guys, I'm back!

Sorry for the lack of releases. I left an announcement in P4TRE0N, but if you don't know, I caught a cold and only today I'm feeling a bit better. I'll post two chapters of Science/Magic and Fourth Prince now, and maybe another one of each tonight. The chapters I owe I'll try to post them tomorrow.

Thank you for your understanding, Aidka :p

"It's here." Illina signaled the place on a map. "I followed the scent of the person in the private room and it led me to this place."

"What is there, Illina?" Javelin asked.

"… On the surface, it's a mansion in an affluent part of the city, it's owned by an A-Rank practitioner. But when I infiltrated inside, I smelled the scent of several people in non-optimum conditions. Besides that, I smelled the prince's urine... Unfortunately, the place was so severely guarded that I was forced to retreat before getting enough information."

Bloed raised an eyebrow when he heard the word prince. Javelin looked at him and shrugged. "You already knew about it, don't you?"

Bloed did not deny it. Both of them were smart people, and Bloed already expected Javelin to make the connection when he showed him the listening device.

"How about the people guarding the place." Bloed asked.

Illina shook her head. "Unfortunately, I don't know too much about that, but I believe there is at least one A-Rank, the owner of the mansion, and nine or ten B-Rank, plus several C-Rank and D-Rank practitioners."

Liu Ying whistled. "That is a lot. How are we going to rescue them?" She asked.

Javelin looked at Madeline. Madeline thought for a moment before opening her mouth.

"Our priority is the prince's safety instead of killing the people in charge of that place. Plus, it will be troublesome someone becomes crazy and kills the kidnapped people while we are fighting the guards.

"Therefore, we will form two groups. The first group will be commanded by me. I will bring the people of Moonlight Glow to attack the mansion and attract the attention of the guards. Meanwhile, the second group will be commanded by Javelin, and their mission is to infiltrate the place and rescue the prince. Are you okay with that?"

Javelin and Bloed nodded.

"I don't have a problem with that plan."

"Neither I do." Bloed said. "When are we starting?"

"We can't afford to waste time, so we are going to do it tonight. At midnight, we'll start the operation."

Bloed looked at the girls to ask for their opinion. When he saw they were alright with it, he agreed.

"Okay, at midnight it's. It will give me enough time to prepare somethings."

"Great." Madaline nodded. Now, let's discuss the specifics of the plan."

The group then proceeded to study the location and the possibles enemies they were going to face, finally coming with a complete plan.

…

At midnight, in a certain mansion in Diadel City.

A guard yawned while looking at the empty street in front of him.

"Damn, I hate night watch. Is it necessary to increase security like this?"

The guard beside him rolled his eyes. "Stop complaining and pay attention. If something happens because of your negligence, the boss will kill us."

"What can happen?" The first guard shrugged. "Even if one of the slaves underground tries to escape, with the security underground he will be unable to reach even to the surface. Plus, with the number of people the boss stationed in the mansion, you would need an army to break in this place."

"I heard that one of our bases was attacked recently. What if they attack this place next?"

"… Now that you mention it, I heard something similar." The first guard put on a serious look. "They have not found the culprits yet, right?"

The other guard shook his head. "That is the reason the boss is so paranoid. The boss suspects the reason behind that attack is one of the people we kidnapped, probably someone important. And if that is actually reason, the enemies may attack again."

"Damn, such bad luck." The first guard cursed.

"I just hope that the nigh passes without an incident." Said the other.

Unfortunately, their wishes were destined to not be conceded.

Because at that moment, they heard a very slight noise.

The two guards turned completely alert.

"… Did you hear that?"

"So it was not my imagination, huh."

Seeing the wariness in each other's eyes, the two guards looked vigilantly to the surroundings in search of the source of the noise.

However, they were unable to see anything.

"… Could it have been a small animal?" One of them asked.

"It's better if we don't take any risks. Inform the others to be careful."

The guard nodded and took out a communication stone from his pocket. But when he was about to put his mana into it–

*Swing!*

"Huh?"

–He saw the hand holding the stone falling to the ground.

But before he could process the pain, a dagger stabbed his throat.

The other opened his eyes wide in fear and terror. Instinctively, he tried to shout, but a slender hand held his throat firmly.

"I'm sorry, I can't allow you to scream." Madeline looked coldly at the guard.

The guard's eyes shook. His fear and terror mixed into a silent plead for mercy.

Unfortunately, he was pleading to the wrong person.

"Scum like you doesn't deserve to continue living." Madeline's chilling voice reached the guard's ears.

Then, she tightened her grip.

With a cracking sound, the neck of the guard was crushed, killing him instantly.

Madeline then put his body on the ground silently while looking at the men behind her.

"You know what to do, right? Don't leave anyone alive."

The men behind her nodded in silence and took their weapons out.

Madeline smiled.

"Now go, let's paint this place in blood."

With these words, the beastmen of Moonlight Glow rushed into the mansion.

Catkins, wolfkins, rabbitkins, raccoonkins, lizardkins. Several kinds of beastmen invaded the mansion in droves, moving towards the locations of the guards.

But as expected, so many beastmen could be hidden only for so long.

And soon, a shout of panic alerted to the people inside the mansion.

"E-Enemy atta–agh!"

With that shout as the signal, the lights of the mansion lit up.

Soon, the sound of weapons clashing and bodies being stabbed swallowed the silence of the night.
