Chapter 458 Chase

A few hours before the werewolves attacked the city, Vincent thought of surprising them by finding out their base of operation and launching an ambush…

After all, since he managed to know that they will be attacked, isn't it better to surprise them instead while they are unprepared?

With this in mind, he set up a small team to attack with him as soon as the production of silver bullets has been completed.

He decided to join in this operation since he also wanted to see how effective these bullets are… Furthermore, he hadn't seen a real werewolf yet so he was looking forward to seeing one.

"Hmm? There's a detachment force… Not all of them heading to the city…" Luna reported as soon as she noticed the four Werewolves moving extremely fast.

Currently, Vincent's group is composed of five people… He's together with Luna, Rem, Beta, and Yulia.

Vincent felt that it was enough to have one Numbered Celestial and two Unnumbered to conduct an ambush operation. As for Yulia, she seemed to have another breakthrough in her Darkness Mystic Eye so Vincent allowed her to join the operation.

Well, the other reason is that Vincent only has five legendary-grade Ethereal Stealth Cloaks with him.

These cloaks were previously just Rare-Grade Stealth Cloaks that have 10 attribute points in Stealth and 8 attribute points in Agility. They weren't that impressive even for a rare-grade product.

However, after ascending them to Legendary, they have become Ethereal Stealth Cloaks that can fool even the noses of the Werewolves.

"We'll follow them… The guards should be able to handle the remaining werewolves that headed to the city." Vincent commanded.

"Understood…" Luna replied.

Vincent was curious about what these werewolves are planning to do. Although they were changing their plans, he didn't mind it at all considering they could find out the secrets that these Demihumans.

In addition to that, the garrison squad has already prepared themselves so they wouldn't be caught off-guard by the enemies.

Bang!

After a few minutes of tailing, they suddenly heard a noise. It was the collapse of a boulder that was blocking a cave.

Although the noise was suppressed by some sort of energy, they didn't miss this at all.

'Hmm? There's something like this near my city? I'm pretty sure I've sent several people to scout this place. How come no one noticed this…' Vincent mused as he looked at Luna and the others.

Everyone seems surprised as well so he can only leave it at that.

"Lead us, Yulia." Vincent said.

Yulia didn't hesitate as he followed Vincent's orders.

Since she has the Darkness Mystic Eye, her strength wouldn't just be doubled within the tunnel… Since there isn't any source of light inside, it is a place where her skills will shine.

"Alright… Follow me… There might be some trap so follow my footsteps." Yulia said as she entered the tunnel with confidence.

Her eyes then gleamed in the darkness. She adjusted herself in the darkness in less than a second before moving quickly to follow the werewolves.

Luna followed in with Vincent…

Beta and Rem came last as they confirmed that no one's following them before going in…

"Hmmm? They stopped inside a huge cavern. We will be discovered if we get too close… Should we reveal ourselves now?" Yulia asked.

"What are they searching for? If I'm not mistaken, this area is already underneath our city." Vincent replied as he calculated the spot they were at by recalling the path they used to arrive at this place.

"I'm not sure… They seem to be opening a box—" Yulia answered but she immediately stopped after noticing that there is something wrong…

"Not good!"

Luna, Vincent, and the rest noticed that the werewolves had triggered something in the cavern…

Boom!

A cold and powerful energy was released upwards and the ceiling of the cavern collapsed!

Soon, water gushed down as it seems that it destroyed the water pipe system that they have installed around the city. It was then followed by a few buildings being sucked inside the hole that was created.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The ground started caving in as rocks and soil filled the cavern.

The collapse lasted for a minute before everything calmed down.

The moonlight then started covering the whole area that was previously a cavern… It was a mess…

Luckily, the area that was destroyed was the barracks on the eastern side of the city… There shouldn't be any soldiers in the barracks right now considering the situation.

"Is everyone alright?" Vincent asked as he poured his Pseudo-Celestial Energy into his magic tool. He used an Amulet to protect everyone from the collapse but it may not be enough.

Nevertheless, the collapse seems to be controlled as the four werewolves just moved aside and didn't get injured at all.

"We're fine… However, I think that we should deal with the werewolves now. They seem to be planning something. They know that reinforcements were already on their way but they were still waiting for something to happen..." Yulia said as she noticed the movement of the werewolves.

Vincent knows this as well so he pulled up his gun like the others…

Mana Arts wouldn't work on these guys after all.

"Alright… We already know that they were after that box… We should end this now" Vincent said as he glanced at the red box for a moment.

"The energy just now seems to have come from that red box. I'll suppress it… You guys can take care of those four." Luna added as she has a very bad feeling about the content of that red box.

With this signal, they finally made their move and aimed their guns at the four werewolves…

They wanted to swiftly end this but it seems that they were sensitive to being pointed at by guns!

These werewolves were shocked as well after noticing the killing intent coming from a certain direction… They can't see where their enemies are hiding but they know that they aren't alone inside the collapsed cavern!

"Scatter!"

Clovis commanded. Being together right now is not a good idea. He needed to make sure that they wouldn't be an easy target…

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Four trails of lights suddenly chased after them… They didn't think too much of it at first, since they can't feel any mana or unusual energy from them… They know that they easily block a physical attack.

However, one of the guards who tried to block it with his hands got pierced by this light!

"Aaarrggh! Careful! They're silver bullets!"
