Chapter 176: Unanswered

It didn't take long for the others to have enough of Lake's shoddy work and start saying things to him about it. "Rol, why are you cutting so much off?" Lake didn't know what he was doing so he wasn't really that sure what his sabotage was doing to the end result they were after but he was sure taking chunks off wasn't what they wanted or good for it.

"I'm making it like me." Lake could tell what he had just said had confused everyone around him enough that they didn't know what to say back so he just took the chance to keep working. After a few cuts Lake could tell the leader had had enough and was about to intervene to put a stop to him ruining their muse so Lake said. "I don't think you guys are working very hard."

None of them had been doing anything but watching him with dumbfounded looks on their faces since they had noticed his odd behavior so he knew if said this it would probably provoke a strong reaction from them. "You messed it up so there's no point. Go get another body." Lake looked at the leader and could tell they were only a few seconds away from yelling.

"I don't think you know what you're talking about." Lake watched the fury take over the leader's face and it seemed he had crossed a line because everyone who heard him say this, which seemed to be all of them were rushing towards him now. "Alright get him in one of the cages. There's something wrong."

Lake was surprised this was all it took for them to get a whiff of him, but this turned out to be less of a waste of time than he had thought. With them all rushing towards him he got to see how fast all of them were and he realized he wasn't in any danger in that sense and when he thought about it it made sense that they were mostly mages.

But for whatever reason none of them were about to cast any spells from what he could see. He guessed they didn't want to kill him and just planned to grab him and stuff him into a cage like they had been told. Lake wasn't going to let that happen though so he got ready to throw a punch and used a skill he had been wanting to try since he got it.

"Wave." Lake watched as a blue wave of mana shot out of his fist and realized what kind of attack it was. [Level up] [Rank up] It was like a shockwave that made it so Brawlers would be able to hit a wide area with their fist but he could also tell he shouldn't have used it in such a small area because not only had he made a mist of the five he had hit with the attack the roof was collapsing.

Lake was pretty quick to react and was able to retreat back towards the wall and get the person he had wanted to question out of the way as well. Once he was as far back as he could get he looked back and saw the roof was still collapsing towards them. Lake didn't do anything right away and waited till he knew the roof was going to collapse down onto them and used Wave again but this time aimed it upwards.

The rocks headed towards them went the other way but not for long with them running into the stones above them and then all coming down at him together. Not knowing what to do, Lake just threw another punch and then another when he saw the brute force was working and the stones above them were forming into a dome and getting thrown away.

After five punches Lake remembered his skill Barrage and stopped using mana for every punch. After a while Lake found that pretty much all the stones above them had been flying and that he could climb out of the hole as soon as he dealt with the one Demon Worshiper he had saved.

Turning Lake grabbed them before they realized they weren't at danger of being squished anymore and after thinking about what he should do Lake used another skill he had yet to use before. "Debilitate." Lake saw them drop to the ground after he used it and threw them on his shoulder before heading towards the edge of the crater he was now standing in to climb out.

It was a bit difficult because with them on his shoulder their ass and legs were dragging on the stones the whole time but he was able to get out after a while and the scene he saw once he was out made him realize he had accidentally destroyed part of the city again. It wasn't as bad as last time but he had still destroyed the street and covered a couple of homes in stone debris.

But, it seemed the people who had been on the road previously had run before it had gotten too hectic so there weren't any obvious bodies around. This was really just a lucky thing but he had no time to think about it because he needed to get this Demon Worshiper back to the guild before they woke up and he had a long elevator ride so he needed to go now.

Lake hadn't really thought about the fact he had yet to hit 100 in Agility and get his next skill from doing so. This was a crazy thought with the fact that he was already feeling too fast but maybe he would get something that affected him in a way that it didn't just make him faster.

Lake didn't really get too much time to think about what the skill might do though because even though Masters was having a bit more trouble going up the stairs because of his legs than he had when going down they had already reached his office.The source of this content is N0veII_bIn
