Chapter 175: Igniting the flames [3]

-Swooosh!

Two hours since last contacting Ren, putting away the binoculars in his hand, Kevin jumped off the building he was on.

...the time was right.

-Tap!

As his feet softly landed on the ground, Kevin quickly turned around and swiftly moved through the narrow streets of the Gud Khodror.

Fortunately for Kevin, as he was no longer the size of an orc and thus no longer wearing the heavy armor that weighed like a truck, he was now able to move around the city fast and stealthily.

"This should be the place"

Stopping in front of an inconspicuous-looking house, glancing at his watch, Kevin softly mumbled.

"Fifteen minutes..."

Fifteen minutes

That's how much time Kevin had at his disposal.

After he noticed that Silug was taking a break, Kevin immediately sprung into action as he quickly arrived before the place where he observed the food storage was located.

"Two orcs..."

Glancing left and right, Kevin spotted two orcs walking around the perimeter of the house.

Although they looked nothing special as they wore no armor nor did they seem strong...Kevin wasn't fooled.

...using his drone to scout the perimeter, Kevin had a general idea of the location of every guard in the vicinity, including Silug who had gone to a nearby tavern to eat.

Regarding Silug, from what he had collected these past few days, Silug's breaks were all around fifteen to twenty minutes long as he would quickly come back to his post.

Although he hated his job, he was a diligent orc.

Still, if there was one thing Kevin managed to observe was that whenever he had a break he had to inform the other guards of his absence.

Because of this rule, Kevin was quickly able to figure out who the other guards were.

...and thus why he knew that the two orcs before him were guards.

Although Kevin was most wary of Silug, the strength of the two orcs before him wasn't something to scoff at.

From what he observed, in terms of strength, they were all within the <C> to <B> rank range...which was something that the present Kevin couldn't handle.

Regardless of the fact that he had a system, there was no way he could fight the orcs with his current strength.

But that was fine, since his goal was to destroy the warehouse, Kevin didn't need to be close to them nor did he have to fight them.

Staring up towards the dark gray sky covered in clouds, Kevin softly mumbled.

"It's about time it rained..."

-Pita! -Pita!

Not long after the words escaped from his mouth, a droplet of water fell towards the ground.

Following the first droplet soon came another and from there more and more droplets of water came crashing towards the ground.

Extending his hand and feeling the rain falling down from the sky, from his dimensional space, Kevin took out a black cylindrical object that had a red button on the top.

-Ding!

Pressing the red button, Kevin glanced at his watch and remained still.

thirty seconds, one minute, two minutes, three minutes, four minutes, five minutes...

"...Alright"

-Fwuaa!

Exactly five minutes after he pressed the button, Kevin took out a black square-shaped device that looked like a small vehicle from his dimensional space and threw it on the ground.

-Plam!

Glancing at his watch, Kevin tapped on the screen and the vehicle-like device before him moved forward a couple of meters.

"...it's working, good"

Seeing that the device worked, Kevin nodded his head in satisfaction.

The device he was currently using was one of the newest ground drones available on the market back on earth.

Equipped with the most up-to-date cloaking function and sound dampening system, the product was something that could easily infiltrate secured locations without getting noticed.

Although it wouldn't work on the truly powerful people, it could more or less evade the perception of most people...unless they were actively seeking the device and that would be a different story.

If they were unaware of its presence, most people wouldn't be able to detect it.

Which was enough.

Thankfully, before coming to Immorra Kevin had brought the equipment with him.

Since he loved using these kinds of devices and gadgets as they made his life easier, Kevin naturally brought the devices with him.

Although he liked to fight with his sword if he was presented with another easier option that didn't involve him risking his life, Kevin would much rather take that option.

He was no battle junky after all.

Licking his lips and controlling the drone through his watch, the device quickly moved towards where the guards were standing.

-Pita! -Pita! -Pita!

As the drone moved, the rain became even more aggressive masking the already little sound the drone made.

As he watched the drone move forward, staring towards the sky, Kevin softly mumbled.

"I guess the effects of the Sleeping Ivy are starting to work"

Although the drone he was using had very good cloaking and dampening devices, it wasn't completely foolproof.

Had the guards been in the right state of mind, they would've instantly have noticed the small trail that the drone left behind as it moved across the puddles of water on the ground.

But that only applied if they were in their right state of mind.

However, they weren't.

...and that was because currently, another factor was at play.

Sleeping Ivy.

That was the name of the poison Kevin had put on the air drone that was levitating up in the air.

Using the rain as a way to camouflage the poison, Kevin released the poison in the air through his drone.

Originally he had planned on directly feeding the poison to the orcs through the food they ate at the tavern they frequented...however, after noticing the erratic climate, Kevin opted to directly spread the poison through the rain.

The poison was rather weak and a nonlethal one, however, it was because of how mild the poison was that Kevin chose it.

With the poison being extremely weak, once it entered their system, the orcs would have no idea they were poisoned.

Normally, orcs would've been able to tell whether a poison had entered their system thanks to their strong constitution...however, that only applied to strong poisons.

If they found themselves poisoned by a weak poison, their bodies wouldn't react to it and thus they were unable to know that they had been poisoned which was exactly what Kevin was aiming for as the poison he gave them was a poison that caused their senses to slightly decrease for a short period of time.

The reason he chose this poison was self-explanatory.

He wanted to increase the chances of his ground vehicle making it past them.

Kevin didn't want to make any mistakes.

As long as he could reduce the chances of his plan failing, he would take it. It was never wrong to be cautious.

...and the result paid off, not long after the poison fell on the orcs faces, they suddenly seemed to be more lethargic.

Although their backs were straight, their eyes weren't as clear and lucid as they were before making Kevin understand that they had been successfully poisoned.

Therefore, not long after the drone moved, Kevin slowly drove it past the orcs. Right towards the door that led to the warehouse.

Tensely staring at the camera view from his watch, Kevin tapped on the screen of his watch.

"Initiate drop"

As soon as Kevin tapped on the screen, the vehicle stopped moving. Shortly after, a small compartment of the drone opened up revealing multiple thumb-sized devices each about the size of a spider.

-Flick! -Flick! -Flick!

Not long after the doors of the compartment opened up, the spider-like devices lit up with a red dot in the middle.

Shortly after, the spider-like devices quickly got moved away from the large vehicle and entered the door leading to the food warehouse through the narrow gap at the bottom.

"Good..."

The plan was almost completed...

...staring at the spider-like devices entering the door from the distance, Kevin felt a slight peng in his heart as he recalled the fact that each of them was worth around ten thousand U.

The reason why he was looking at them like that was that they were all going to explode soon.

Yes, they were all loaded with explosives.

Although their power was weaker than that of a regular grenade, when piled up together, they would without a doubt be able to create a massive explosion.

Especially since there were over a hundred of them.

...knowing this, Kevin knew that once they exploded his money would also go along with the explosion, but in the end, he could only grit his teeth and endure it as the five-star sword manual was worth far more than that.

In fact, comparing the value of the two was like comparing a Ferrarri to a Fiat.

Huge difference.

"Alright...everything is set"

Shortly after all of the small drones entered the house through the narrow gap of the door, using his watch, Kevin quietly recalled the main drone back.

"three minutes..."

Staring at the time of his watch, Kevin knew he was running low on time. In three minutes he estimated that Silug would arrive.

Increasing the speed of the ground vehicle, as soon as it arrived before Kevin, he quickly picked it up and ran as far away as possible from the warehouse.

He couldn't allow himself to be too close to Silug as he might actually be able to detect something.

"Huuuu..."

After stealthily running away in the distance, making sure that he was far enough, Kevin sighed in relief.

"This should be far enough"

With a solemn look on his face, Kevin stared at the warehouse in the distance.

After a couple of seconds, bringing his watch next to his mouth, Kevin tapped on the screen and softly mumbled.

[10...9...8...7...6...5...]

...

On the opposite side of where Kevin was, coldly glancing at the orc that stood in front of the Zornaraugh's house, Ren hid himself a couple of blocks away from him.

...right now he just stood still and observed the house before him.

He was waiting for something.

-Ding!

[10...9...8]

Suddenly, Ren felt his watch vibrate and Kevin's voice entered his ears.

Hearing the countdown, placing his hand on the sheat of his new sword, bleak star, Ren channeled his wind and fire psyons simultaneously as blue streaks of light started appearing on guard of the sword.

-Kracka! -Kracka!

[7...6...5]

With each passing second, the electricity revolving around the sheat of the sword became more and more glaring as the low muffled sound of thunder rumbling became more and more discernible.

[4...3...]

Glancing at his watch indifferently, Ren remained still.

[2...1...0]

Then the countdown hit zero.

...once it did, silence prevailed over the surroundings.

However, the silence only lasted for a split second as an enormous explosion soon resounded in the distance.

-Boooom!

Gud Khodror shook.
