Chapter 256: Panic

Chapter 256: Panic

Since the battlefield was moving around as Henry and Hanson fought, they currently were not closer to the building. For that reason, it was easier for Olivia and the group to be able to approach it.

The moment that they arrived at the entrance, they realized that the huge amount of killing intent that they had been feeling all this while was actually coming from this building.

Additionally, they felt that this amount of killing intent was way above the one that they had been feeling all this while. This made them frown. They could not help but wonder what was currently inside of this building, something that was capable of causing the eruption of such a thick amount of killing intent.

After a moment of hesitation, Olivia stepped forward. She was the one who had come with the decision of entering into this building, and since she was also the one that was holding the highest position amongst the group, she decided to take the lead.

After she stepped forward, she felt that she had gone through something like a barrier. But, this barrier was like a bubble, that as long as one was careful, then they would not be able to burst it, even if they poked it.

But still, she could feel that whatever barrier that she had gone through was, it was not capable of being destroyed that easily. That was just the feeling, and she was not ready to test that out right now.

Adam and Julie followed. As for Diana, she remained behind. She was not going to go into the building with the group. Currently, Henry was fighting, and as his summoned creature, as long as Henry had not given her the command to leave, there was no way that she was going to leave the battlefield.

Of course Olivia and the rest of the group understood that. So, they did not really blame Diana for not going along with them. Nevertheless, they believed that they were capable of handling a problem inside there, as long as it was not at the same level as Hanson, or above him.

They realized that the moment that they came towards the entrance of the building, the amount of killing intent that was surging out of the building suddenly released. It was as if it had realized that there was someone that was coming over, and it was trying to restrain itself.

This was something strange. And at this point, Olivia and the rest of the group believed that there had to be someone inside the building. As for the source of the killing intent, they were not sure if it was another member of the dark race or not.

But of course, the highest probability was that whoever it was that was causing the huge amount of killing intent to surge out of the building was definitely not a member of the dark race.

Of course, the members of the dark race all appeared closer to Crystal City. And since that was the case, how was it possible that there was one of them here? That was unless this person decided to come over here while the others decided to fight against Henry and his group while they were in Crystal city.

The entrance of the building was not locked, but instead, the doors were wide open. This was how the doors were just before, during the time that Hanson was standing in front of the building. Additionally, during the time that they had arrived, they had noticed that there was a thread that was connecting to Hanson’s back from the building.

From outside of the building, they could see that inside was no different from an ordinary building. But still, none of the three believed that this was actually an ordinary building.

So as they moved forward, all of them were cautious. It was a good thing that they had all recovered to their peak condition. But of course, that was if they considered the physical perspective together with the energy that they possessed in their bodies.

As for the mental energy that they had spent during this time, that was something that required time and sleep in order to be able to be recovered.

After entering into the building, the group looked around, trying to see if there was any abnormality within here. But no matter how many times they looked, they did not see anything.

"Let us explore this place. We will try and see if there’s anything that is going to threaten us in the future. If it is something that we can take care of, we are going to take care of it right now." Olivia instructed.

"No problem at all. That was just what I was thinking about. But I have a question, what if it is something that we cannot handle?" Adam asked curiously.

Olivia frowned as she looked at him. "Why are you acting like a little kid? Don’t you know that if there’s something that you cannot handle, you have to learn how to retreat?"

"Of course I know that. But what I’m trying to talk about is the fact that we actually are not capable of getting out of this place. Since that is the case, how are we going to retreat?" Adam asked innocently.

Olivia pursed her lips when she heard Adam. Of course she understood that whatever Adam had said was actually true. It was just that until now, they had not found a method that they were going to use in order to be able to get out of this place with the black barrier that was protecting the entire area.

"While we are exploring this area, we have to try and make sure that we find clues about a method of getting out of here. In any case, if we find something that we cannot really deal with it, I’m pretty sure that we are capable of stalling it.

At the end of the day, it is just the beginning of the apocalypse, the second stage. So I do believe that we are not going to experience something that is way out of our league." Olivia stated after a moment of thought.

Adam nodded his head. Olivia had actually spoken what he was thinking. As for why he had asked the question, it was not because he wanted to cause trouble for Olivia, but it was just because he was curious if by chance Olivia possessed another idea that was better than the one that he had.

Julie did not say anything all this while. It might be true that currently she was a rank ahead of the two people, but when it came to physical strength, she was definitely not capable of matching any of them.

Additionally, it was not as if there was anything that she wanted to say. So, she just remained silent as the two of them discussed. After a decision was made, the group finally began moving around. But of course, they did not move together, but instead, they separated into three groups, with a person making a group of their own, before exploring the building.

Each person was assigned a floor. After exploring that floor, if they did not find anything, they had to move to another floor.

...

On the battlefield, Hanson had already realized that Olivia and the rest of the group had actually entered the building. The moment that he realized that, he almost went berserk.

If Olivia and the rest of the group actually managed to reach the place where the plan that they were possessing was being carried out, then it was going to be trouble for him.

At the end of the day, this plan was made by him, something that he was going to try and use to gain his face back. But if it was destroyed, not only was the dark race going to gain another disadvantage, however, he was going to lose his face again.

But, how was he going to allow something like that to happen? So, the moment that he realized that the group was entering into the building, he turned into black smoke, and tried rushing towards the building.

However, since Hanson had already noticed something like that, it was obvious that Henry had also noticed it. And when he saw that Hanson was trying to rush there, how could he allow him to go?

Currently, there were two of him. So, the field of view that he could see through the two pairs of eyes was bigger as compared to the one that Hanson could see.

Just from the reaction that Hanson was having, Henry realized that there had to be something within that building. And, that thing seemed to be so important that Hanson had to react in such a way.

Without hesitation, Henry conjured a fireball. The fireball was dominated by the red flames, something that was happening more often during the fight.

It was as if the red flame was completely consuming the hell of flame, turning most of his fire attacks into red colored attacks.

But of course, the change that had happened was not only in the color of the flame, but even the intensity of the heat had increased drastically. As for the reason why that was happening, that was something that Henry did not really understand until now.

Brrrrh! Brrrrh!

Two fireballs shot through the air as they chased after the black smoke. It might be true that the black smoke was fast, but it was not capable of matching the speed that the fireballs were approaching it with.

Booom! Booom!

Two consecutive explosions occurred. And Hanson who had turned into a black smoke was suddenly forced to materialize again. At this point, as he dropped onto the ground, he looked way more pathetic than ever before.
