Chapter 216 Dire Straits

Chapter 216 Dire Straits

"U-urgh..."

Yuri slurred as she woke up, her body perfectly healthy despite remembering how badly she was wounded right before she passed out.

As she blinked several times, ensuring her blurry vision returned to normal, she noticed the ten people that stood around her.

"Miss Yuri! You're awake!"

"He said you'd be fine, but I'm happy to see you well."

"Miss Yuri!"

Yuri's blurry vision soon returned to normal, so she was able to see the concerned expressions of the caravan members.

'They're all safe. I'm also perfectly fine. Sir Ralyks must have helped...'

That was the only rational conclusion she could get to.

"Mhmm..." She slowly rose from the ground and looked around her.

They were all within a considerably large golden dome; big enough for them to move freely inside.

'Sir Ralyks must have erected this.' Her thoughts naturally trailed.

She could also see the merchandise safely placed in a corner within the barrier around them, and beyond it, she could see the charred surfaces of earth.

"What happened here...?" Yuri found herself whispering.

"Sir Ralyks happened!"

"He killed all of them in the blink of an eye and burned their corpses."

"Yes. I don't think I've ever seen a man so powerful and brutal."

As more people vividly described what happened to Yuri, she couldn't help but remember how foolish she had been to think he was soft in the past.

Back then, he had refused to kill anyone, so he considered him too merciful.

But now... upon hearing just how he went about business, Yuri was more than impressed.

She was amazed!

"So, where is Sir Ralyks now?" She asked, looking around her once again, but not seeing him anywhere.

"He said he'd be back soon; that he's off to check a Warehouse, per his agreement with Lord Blanc."

"I... see..." Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Yuri knew the Warehouse Ralyks went to. It was the place that they kept the Enchanted Items they were going to sell to the Elves.

'I trust Sir Ralyks, so I'll leave everything in his hands.'

They were currently operating within the best case scenario.

'We just need some luck.'

As she stared above, her gaze fixed on the night sky above, she smiled sadly.

'Please return safely, Sir Ralyks.'

'So this is the place...'

It barely took Rey thirty minutes to arrive at his designation despite it being cities away from his previous position.

Sure, they had been traveling Eastward, but not so far East.

On his way, he had seen so many settlements—including developing towns and small villages—but his speed made all of them appear like blurs.

Rey didn't know how many miles he had traversed, but with his [Grand Flight], coupled with a few Buffs, he was sure he had covered a lot of grounds.

'I memorized the map well, and since Rebal was detailed with his description, it wasn't too hard to find...'

Right now , he was floating right above what appeared to be considerably large mountains.

'But I know that they aren't mountains.'

This entire place was a warehouse, connected through several underground paths which led from one mountain to another.

'The KariBlanc sure is resourceful.' Rey could see about ten Mountains clustered together, so he knew he was in the right place.

'Just how massive is this warehouse for all of them to be filled with Enchanted Items for the Elves?'

There was only one way to find out, and Rey was about to begin his descent.

'I haven't forgotten about our deal, Rebal. However, since this is a remote area and there seems to be a lot of flaws in your plan... I think I'll help you out just a little.'

Rey smiled as his eyes flickered with dark purple.

'I might need to be a bit extreme in my measures.'
