Chapter 1317 Sneaking in

Lex grabbed everything that Cornelius had to offer him, and after a short farewell, he left. Although Lex initially developed a poor impression of the man for being a hedonistic king, the man's strength had earned his respect. As for his personal preferences... Lex tried not to think about it.

Lex teleported to a random cafe in the capital, grabbed a drink and took a seat while he planned his next steps. Even though Cornelius hadn't given him the exact coordinates for the Kraven capital, he could get close. From there he would have to search himself.

Belail, the Kraven prince, took his security very seriously and consistently moved around with a guard, and though he could no longer spend his time in the panic room, he remained in the heavily guarded capital, never leaving.

Lex would need to find the place while maintaining complete stealth, infiltrate it and then find a way to kill Belail. Escaping would be the easiest part of all this.

Despite everything Cornelius had told him about the examinees, Lex did not want to get involved at all. He was leaving all these problems behind to become a good little Innkeeper. He would take care of his guests, and manage his property. He was done interfering with other problems.

Although he felt bad for what was happening to the Crystal realm, if he didn't take care of the Midnight realm then it too would one day become like this. More importantly, he was nowhere near strong enough to single handedly resolve this whole issue.

With his plan more or less decided, he left a gold coin on the table and left, enchanting it so that strangers could not pick it up, and only the cafe staff could.

There were clear drains made in all the tunnels, and for good reason. They weren't for rain, but to collect the slime that dripped off Kraven's bodies.

Resisting the urge to pass a derogatory comment, Lex explored the base and discovered that it was merely some kind of temporary barracks. There were only a few Kraven inside, guarding the place, and they were in the Golden core realm so Lex had no problem carefully reading their memories.

The capital was indeed nearby. It was a mere ninety-eight thousand miles from their current location! Although that sounded like a lot, and actually was a lot, Lex could now unironically say that it wasn't so far.

He didn't even need to teleport. Putting his hands in his pockets, Lex just continued to walk at the same pace as before, making sure to remain hidden and to not leave behind a trail.

Before long, Lex found himself in front of a giant crater that led to the underground capital of the Kraven. The problem was...

The crater did not seem like a regular opening to the city. No, this looked like the crater that was formed when a meteor fell from the sky onto a planet.

Considering that there was a distinct lack of any guards or security, it was safe to say that something had surely happened to the Kraven capital.

Lex jumped inside.
