Three Lives

Intrusion

...Reiki point of view...

A fortress that normally protected the kingdom had now been taken over and the knights guarding there had been taken hostage. That's what the messenger said so our goal is to retake the fort.

"I felt the evil energy from within."

When we arrived and were about to go inside, Chelsea held us back because there was a very strong enemy.

"Is that the demon king?" Ask Sora.

"No, the demon lord should have a gripping and evil energy but this is like ... It's disgusting!"

I don't understand what he means because I don't feel anything but he's like (White) Zanir and I'm sure he's trustworthy.

"Then we have to find another way in." Usul (Dark) Zanir's.

"Give it to me."

Sora confidently presented himself with pride.

"Alright, I'll leave that to you but remember. If you're in danger, run immediately."

"Good!"

After being commemorated by Chelsea, Sora ran quickly like lightning and disappeared. I wonder how he can develop so fast? Although we got training at the same time but it felt like I was far behind.

...****************...

...Sora's point of view...

After volunteering to find the entrance, I went to the back of the fort. The structure was very nice and sturdy in contrast to the dragon fortress I visited back then.

Although this was smaller than the dragon fortress but this was a fortress that already protected the kingdom. I managed to find a hole, although this should be called a waterway. I went inside after smashing it a little so that it could be entered by people. Thanks to the training from Zanir I was able to destroy without making a sound. Although he gave an easy to understand explanation but mastering this requires effort and I am a genius who can do this.

"I wonder if the Undead also need to pee?"

I walked down the aisle of the aqueduct while thinking of unimportant things. No, it's important. If the Undead also need to urinate, are they still called Undead?

"Hm? Door?"

I climbed the stairs I found and there was a small rectangular door on the ceiling. I wonder if this leads to a nice place, like a treasure room maybe?

"Hmmph!!"

Well, I'm surprised. The door opened from the floor and who would have thought it turned out to be the hostages in the room in a place like this. Before anyone realizes it, I must release them immediately.

"Now you're safe, follow me."

I quickly cut off all the ropes binding them with a knife then immediately took them with me out of the fortress through the previous path.

"City ... Who are you? You look like a fox man."

"Whoever I am doesn't matter, all you need to do is get out of here right away."

Someone asked in a nervous tone. You shouldn't be asking anything for now or they'll realize we are, that's what I'm trying to say but it looks like it's too late.

"Pcsst... Intruders found. Go after them."

A large snake man suddenly ordered his men to chase after us. We quickly ran from them.

"Damn, they don't have legs but they're very fast!"

Just a little bit more until we get to the exit and it looks like they will continue to chase after us. Then I'll have to buy some time until they make it out safely.

"I'll hold them, you go!"

"But ..."

"That's it, just go!"

The hostages immediately went running away with an uneasy feeling of having to leave their rescuers behind.

"All right now your opponent is me."

"You think a fox like you can win against us alone?"

"I think I've misjudged you."

"A lot of talk."

I quickly combined the [Dash] and [High Jump] skill that made me move very quickly and jump to and fro to confuse him.

"What ... ?!"

"It's true that I'm alone, but I'm much better off than you are."

The snake man was confused and his eyes started to swirl as he tried to follow my movements. Without the magic eye my movements could not be seen which is why I took advantage of the enemy's shortcomings. He finally fainted after his eyes were no longer strong.

"Change ... Cunning."

"Good sleep."

I'm going to go out and report it to Chelsea. But I immediately paused my intention because I had not obtained any information about the enemy inside so I turned around and continued the infiltration.

Entering the previous door and finding another door that seemed to be heading somewhere. But anyway I have to find the leader's room. On exiting through that door I found a guard who was an Undead Knight on patrol.

He didn't realize me and I followed behind him. Followed his footsteps so he did not suspect anything.

(Oh, there's someone else!)

I immediately jumped up and became the ceiling. I hope he doesn't see me.

"What's up?" Ask Undead 1

"No, I just felt like there was a shadow behind you." Answer Undead 2 while looking suspiciously.

"Hey, don't scare me like that."

"Why should I be afraid? We are the Undead!"

"Eh? Yes, yes, too."

After the conversation, they separated.

"Here you go, you're too careful. I'll be back on patrol."

"Ah, yes ... I'm also."

The two of them turned around and walked to their respective posts. I went down and followed the Undead who suspected me earlier. But I have to find their leader's room. Then...

"Bored huh?" My toot.

"Not really. We're Undead so we can't possibly feel anything like that."

Well, it looks like he's unconscious. We continue.

"You're right. Why didn't you come out? He is alone, strong."

"Don't say such a thing. He did not come out of the reading room at the end of this room as he was looking for information for the emperor to obtain a new body."

The emperor? New body? It seemed like there was an even stronger enemy and these people were gathering information. Also I already know the position of the enemy leader, for now I have to go out and report it.

"Thank you for talking to me, see you!"

"Yes, equally. Eh? Who was that?"

With the skill [Dash] I ran towards the room where the hostages were in the bushes and I went through the lower hallway to get out.

I finally made it out and met Chelsea and the others. The hostages survived too so this is my victory. It's an easy intrusion.

"You're finally back. Thanks for the cooperation so what do you get?" Ask Chelsea.

I explained everything I knew starting from the number of Undead inside, the position of the enemy leader and about the emperor they were talking about.

"Emperor huh? It seems to refer to the demon lord. But what I don't understand is this new body."

Chelsea looked confused and thought of the enemy's intentions. Although we do not get any information about his exact purpose but surely they are looking for something for this emperor.
