Chapter 1103 1103. Going For The Prize While Everyone Was Occupied

"Yes!" Jack exclaimed. "Thank goodness everything has been easy."
He then slapped his head. "Oops! Usually, things take a turn after I said that." He looked at his radar, making sure no red dots happened to move in his direction.
Relieved that everything was still fine, he went into the chamber. The teleportation device was a large round platform with a glowing power stone hung directly above it. That power stone was the device's power source. So, destroying the stone would cripple the teleportation device.
Jack used Sword of Light. His crescent light hit the power stone. A damage number appeared accompanied by an HP bar. He estimated this power stone was sturdier than the door he just broke. He was just about to cast Soar to reach the power stone when that stone suddenly glowed. A demon wearing a robe then appeared at the center of the platform.
Jack and the demon were frozen as they looked at one another for a second.
"INTRU...!!" The demon started shouting but was cut midway when Jack's boot came into his face.
The kick using mana manipulation sent the demon flying to the wall. Jack followed by using fast spells. He cast Ice Bullet and Electric Bolts, keeping the demon frozen and paralyzed while he approached. He then battered the demon with fast slashes.
The demon was only a special elite, so his HP was drained at a fast rate. However, the demon proved to be one with a solid concentration. Despite Jack's non-stop slashes, he could still cast a spell. His speed of casting was also not slow.
He finished his first spell and a barrier enveloped his body. He then proceeded with a second spell which spell formation contained five runes.
Jack recognized the runic symbols from the spell formation. It was Warlock's Hellish Explosion.
He wasn't worried about the spell. He was able to tank this explosion even without his defensive skills. He continued to deliver punishments on the demon, trying to finish him as fast as possible.
When the demon was on the brink of death, the demon completed his spell. Jack braced himself for the explosion, but his mana sense didn't detect any incoming one.
He then heard a loud explosion from behind. The demon had targeted his spell outside the chamber. The demon's purpose was not to injure Jack but to alert the other demons in this mansion.
"Shit!" Jack cursed as he delivered the final blow that killed the demon. He saw the few red dots on his radar, which were static a moment ago, now rushing in his direction.
He had to act fast! He took out his companion token and summoned Arlcard.
Arlcard was now level 68, one level higher than when he left after the incident with the archdemon. As a mythical grade, he immediately detected the abnormality of the mana.
Before he asked about the mana, Jack spoke first, "We are in the underworld. No time to explain! This is currently an emergency. Use your Sonata of the Night to hinder anyone from entering this room, then quickly destroy that power stone. Afterward, kill any demons that you see!"
Finished speaking, Jack rushed out of the room. Arlcard didn't dilly-dally. The fog that was the signature of Arlcard's Sonata of the Night soon filled the space outside the teleportation chamber. Jack also heard the sound of Arlcard starting to assault the power stone.
The stairs to the fourth floor were behind a locked fence. Jack had passed by that fence and it was not far from where the teleportation chamber was located. He rushed over and then hid in a corner near the stairs.
Despite his agitated state, he slowed his breathing and urged his heartbeat to slow. He was using the mana concealment technique again as his Cloak of Shadow turned him invisible.
Jack saw the fence to the stairs open and four demons appeared. Two were winged high demons and the other two were wingless regular demons. His Inspect informed him that one of the high demons was the Hell Baron, Hraghshu. He was a weak level 60 special elite, but Jack didn't dare do anything to him yet. It might cause his father, Mammon, to teleport here before Arlcard destroyed the teleportation device.
The two regular demons were level 70 special elites. Nothing to worry about. It was the other high demon who posed a problem. A level 70 mythical demon by the name of Algerad.
The four weren't aware of Jack's presence. They turned to where the explosion had been heard and headed there. They left the fence open, which Jack was thankful for.
The four passed by Jack's position. Jack waited until they encountered Arlcard's spell before he jumped out of hiding and then summoned his wolves, his spirit weapon, and Therras.
Jack gave them a brief instruction before turning around and heading to the stairs.ReadNovelFull.com
Therras, the spirit weapon, and the ten wolves rushed toward the four demons. They were to hinder the demons with the help of Arlcard's fog until Arlcard finished dealing with the teleportation chamber. Jack gave them a strict order to not touch Hraghshu.
The ten wolves ran forward and attacked the two special elite demon guards. They also ran around Hraghshu, confusing him without attacking him.
Therras used its Tyrannical Charge and slammed into Algerad who was surprised to find a strong enemy was suddenly behind them inside this manor.
The spirit weapon supported Therras and the wolves with ranged attacks.ReadNovelFull.com
While his minions were keeping those demons occupied, Jack ran up the stairs and arrived on the fourth floor. He was greeted with an enormous hall full of luxurious furniture and decorations. He didn't have the time to admire them. He checked the position of the white dot on his radar. There was another red dot near that white dot.
Jack was not worried. This red dot was normal color, which meant it was not higher than his power level. A single same-level enemy won't give him much trouble. He rushed over to their positions.
Fortunately, the room he was heading to was not blocked by locked doors or other obstacles. He crossed through an opening in a wall and entered another large hall. This hall had rune diagrams all around its walls and ceiling. They were flaring with dark light and tendrils of energy could be seen coming out of them and flowing to the center of the hall.
At the center of the hall, a nightmare was being wrapped by these tendrils of dark light. The dark light wound around her body and slowly seeped into her orifices. She was struggling but appeared weak. The flame that usually burned around a nightmare was not seen. She looked like a simple horse with dark red skin.
Jack used his Inspect and confirmed that the bound nightmare was Luna.
