Chapter 542: Chapter 542

Camile Jensen remembered the information shared with her regarding the armory - it was one of the biggest rooms and probably the most damaged in the battle. Neither Assistant Professor Vyn nor Lucias Vyn had been there for quite a long while, so the intelligence provided would likely be very outdated.

 

Behind the metal door was a wide and slippery tunnel, and Assistant Professor Vyn headed first and slid down the tunnel holding Lucias Vyn’s hand, none of the members of the team had any time to complain, and they proceeded to slide down the tunnel one by one.

 

The steepness of the tunnel and the fact that it took all of them quite a while to reach the bottom indicated to everyone that the armory was somewhere deep underground. When Camile Jensen got out from the other end of the tunnel, she found herself in an underground bunker, with a ceiling that was roughly around six or seven floors tall at the lowest part, and more than fifteen floors tall at the highest. The place was barely lit up by sparsely distributed magical lights and torches hanging from the ceiling and on the walls. But even with these sources of light, the visibility was still quite terrible - they could barely see anything outside of 30 feet (around 10 meters).

 

This was no simple giant empty hall like the ones to house aircrafts, space shuttles or giant monsters. But instead, even though severely damaged, there remained a lot of structures in this underground armory - there were floating platforms in the air, spacious balconies and wide bridges on the walls and barely functioning or recognizable stairs made of floating stone tablets and wood panels or just carved on the wall leading to different positions of the entire hall, with some underground defence towers and bunkers placed at different positions, acting as a defence system from within. It was a masterfully built underground structure with intricate internal designs, the debris all over the floor and the uneven ground from the damage this place took from the battle long time ago did not take that away.

 

“The entrance to the vault is beneath the central bunker.” Assistant Professor Vyn pointed forward and said: “It’s not far, but as you can see, this place is heavily damaged. And it had connections to different parts of the entire castle, so we’re not sure what awaits us in the shadows. Everyone on high alert.”

 

The team started to move forward, ignoring the booms and cracks coming from the tunnel through which they arrived at this armory. Judging from the fact that they could barely feel the vibrations or shakings from the room they were just in, this armory had pretty good insulation from the impact from other places.

 

The team formed into three groups, and each of them went ahead in a straight line from different angles. Camile Jensen was assigned to the group on the left, and was right behind Lady Marza O’Gul. The team in the middle was led by Assistant Professor Vyn and Lucias Vyn; while the team on the right was led by the other Hellinger who was completely masked up and covered by a suit of black cloth armor. Before they proceeded, all of the team cast spells to conceal noise and energy waves on themselves and each other to ensure maximum stealthiness in their moves.

 

It took around five minutes for them to get visual on the central bunker Assistant Professor Vyn was talking about - it was a dome-shaped bunker that was about two storeys high, with shooting holes near the top, but it was mostly destroyed and seemed like it was lucky to be standing in place without collapsing.

“Crack...”a small stone moving sound came from the darkness beyond, which seemed like something had stepped on some loose or fragile debris. All members of the team immediately knelt down on the ground while keeping their eyes open and forward and their weapons and spells ready. Triples by triples, glowing eyes opened up in a distance before them and some in places around them. These eyes were distributed in the same manner: the two eyes on the side were glowing in green-ish blue with black pupils, and the eyes in the middle were long and thin while standing vertically, and they were glowing in purple with dark red pupils.

 

“Nightmare Bat-wolves.” “It’s Nightmare Bat-wolves.” messages were delivered from the members in front to the members at the rear: “Ready your anti-confusion spell gears.”

 

The anti-confusion spell gears were pairs of goggles with a silver shine on one lens and a dark blue shine on the other. After putting her goggles on and activating them, Camile Jensen felt that there was a slight dim in her vision and there were foggy auras around all the objects in her view.

 

Nightmare Bat-wolves, one of the potential dangerous and hostile creatures they knew they could encounter before they came here - they were a mostly nocturnal social magical beast, which had the ability to glide using wings on their backs, and the ability to cast confusion and illusion spells with the eyes at the centers of their foreheads.

 

Being a librarian of the Grant Academy and a member of the famous and influential Jensen family, Camile Jensen was well-read enough to know about the appearances and habits of a lot of magical beasts in the world, especially the dangerous ones. And after realizing that they were facing a herd of Nightmare Bat-wolves, she immediately kept her eyes low, tried to peek at them only through side eyes and to avoid direct eye contact with the eyes. But even so, she noticed something unusual right away.

 

“Lady, they looked… bigger than normal.” Camile Jensen whispered to Lady Marza O’Gul.

 

“Are they now?” Lady Marzar O’Gul looked around then lowered her head: “Looks like this place might just be a tad bit too fertile.”
