Chapter 478 Leaving The Demon Base

Reign and the others glanced at each other before a smile bloomed on each and every one of their faces.

They had found it, just like they thought, a secret room that Arash used in order to hide his valuables.

They slowly went down the stairs that led to an underground area that was some 6 meters below the building. Upon reaching down, Reign and the others were amazed by how large it was.

They had an underground facility themselves, but that one was used for training so they had to make it relatively large, but this one didn't lose out against them at all.

Most of it was empty and was for Arash to train in. He had a couple of training dummies that were created by a strong metal, since they could see damage on them and some that were even destroyed, it was safe to say that they were below Tier III and only slightly superior to those that they had back in their base.

There were also fields that were marked with some sort of paint, Reign and the others didn't know what those fields were for, but each one had a weird crystal in the center and they were not about to risk anything by going there to find out.

At the end of the area, was what Reign and the others would call the storage place.

Multiple armor sets, weapons, and some gems were placed on shelves, some of the shelves were protected by glass panels, and some were not.

Upon reaching the storage area, Reign and the others didn't wait before taking the items with them, all of them.

On the left side of the storage area was another area that had a desk, chair, and a couple of shelves that were filled with books and documents. Reign and the others took a glance before taking that as well.

The documents and books could be useful, so they would later study them, either by themselves or with the help of other players and the elves.

Reign and the others continued looking around, they thought about taking the crystals, but decided against it, at least for now.

They were still Tier I, and their boosts and the power up from the marks were now gone, if the crystals were something that Arash used in order to train, they could be dangerous to them in their current state.

The team gathered everything they thought would be worth anything or useful to them before leaving the underground area. They closed the secret entrance since they wanted to come back later and get the crystals as well.

The demons would probably enter the building later on and try to take everything that was inside thanks to Arash being dead.

Reign and the others went outside, only to be met with about 10 demons who had come inside the base after the sounds of battle had stopped.

Upon seeing Reign and the others coming out of Arash's building, the demons were at first confused, before their confusion was replaced by shock and anger.

They stared at Reign and the others before getting ready to fight.

"Humans, how dare you come here!"

"Dirty humans, trying to take advantage of our boss fighting!"

Reign and the others simply glanced at each other before they all released their auras.

The shouting stopped.

The demons movements stopped.

Even their breathing stopped for a brief moment of time as they felt the incredible auras coming from the seven in front of them.

The demons were no longer able to see humans in front of them, but monsters with incredible strength.

Death was written in front of them as they knew what the outcome would be if they were to dare fight Reign and the others right now.

The seven simply glanced at the demons who were almost petrified by them.

"Your boss is dead, the fox too," Wolf said as they all started walking toward the demons.

"Your array also seems to have suffered grave damage, I doubt it will work anymore."

"So how about we make a deal with you guys?"

"Shut the hell up, don't move, hell, don't even breathe too loudly before we leave this ruin that was once your base, and we will let you live, ok?" Wolf asked the demons with a smile on his face as his killing intent was on full display.

A cloud of blood could be seen around him, well, at least it could be seen by the demons who were the target of his killing intent.

None of them replied, they didn't dare to even move their hands as the auras that were coming down on them were too overwhelming for them to resist.

Reign and the others walked.

They just walked.

Their auras alone were enough to make the demons too scared to do anything.

Even the most powerful of demons were still a notch below them, and the majority of those had either been killed by Reign and the others a while ago or had died during the battle between Arash and the fox.

The fox itself had killed quite some number of demons and whittled down their numbers before Arash had joined.

In total, there were just about a hundred demons left, and they were on average level 80. Only 3 demons that were above level 95 survived, and upon sensing the seven auras that were above their own, they all hid, the last thing they wanted to happen now was for their lives to be taken.

They had already confirmed that both Arash and the fox were dead.

Upon seeing the battlefield, and the numerous craters and destruction that was caused coupled with Arash's and the fox's injuries, it was easy to realize that they had been killed by a third party.

Somebody took advantage of the fight and murdered both of them.

Hell, perhaps this whole thing was orchestrated by the third party that wanted to use the opportunity to kill two of the most powerful Tier II monsters in the area.

The powerful demons didn't know who it was, but upon sensing the powerful auras, they were shocked by the sheer number of such powerful beings.

Even back when the base was at its strongest, there were only 2 beings below Arash that had similar auras.

Those two had been sent to a different base after they had confirmed that they would be going through an evolution soon.

Arash still had to spend more time as the leader of the base before he would be let back into the higher-ranked bases.

But that was now finished.

Arash would never serve his time as he had been killed.

Their base would probably get abandoned by the higher-ups since it was simply too annoying to constantly send more demons down to the base.

It was the one that was worth the least amongst the bases that the demons had in the enormous mountain range and it barely served any purpose.

It was more a place for the stronger demons to send the worthless and those that had broken the rules than a true base.

The demons had a communication crystal that could be used to contact any base on the mountain inside the headquarters, hopefully, it wasn't destroyed during the battle.

They would be able to tell the higher-ups what had happened in the base and request for reinforcements, but they highly doubted that the higher-ups would send anybody.

As Reign and the others moved closer to the main gate of the base, and the location where the more powerful demons had hidden, the latter all tried to hide their presence and mana signature as much as they could in hopes of them not sensing them.

Reign smirked after sensing the mana signatures of the demons which were slowly becoming weaker. He knew what they were doing, but unfortunately he had sensed them since a while ago, fortunately for them, however, he and the others weren't interested in killing any more demons today.

They all left through the front gate and the demons simply stared at their backs before they disappeared from their sight.

The demons all took deep breaths, lucky to be alive right now.

They went to the place where the fox and Arash were fighting, only to find the mangled corpses of the two. The fox was in an even worse state compared to back when it died since Reign and the others took what was valuable from its corpse before heading out to Arash's building.

The demons simply threw the corpses out, not interested in doing anything with them. There were no burial processes that the demons respected, the dead bodies of their brethren meant nothing since their souls would leave and they would get resurrected later.

They all slowly started working. The base was in ruins and it needed to get cleaned up.

They knew that they were probably going to be left to fend for themselves after what had happened, and knew that hard times would be upon them.

As for Reign and the others, they were all happy since a notification had appeared.
