Chapter 286 Infiltration

Aion flew as fast as possible toward East, to the point that he used more mana than he could recover by meditating and solving the issue by using his money. Still, he didn't stop.

"It has been a while, but this never gets old…" Aion thought while shrugging his shoulders.

Putting that aside, Aion had to think about what he could do to deal with the situation. The most obvious answer would be to use his death knights. However, the Necromancer class was at a low level… he wanted to deal with the situation as fast as possible. Still, Aion might be forced to kill some earthworms to get a few levels.

"I can use the Undying Lord class, but skeleton riders can't be more subtle than Kala, the assassin that ruled that country," Aion thought. "She has the weapons that make her completely invisible. If she becomes fast enough, she will have an easy time dealing with the downside of that ability. Which is to have to reveal herself before attacking."

"Since I can level up the Necromancer class faster, I will use it to make the death knights level up faster even though I can also use them with the Undead Lord class," Aion thought after checking the class. "Besides, I won't be able to use the improvement points on them… that combination has several limitations.

The skeletons will have the efficiency halved if compared to their real peak, but it will be enough against the likes of bandits.

In the end, Aion decided to infiltrate the enemy's base using the Furtivity of the ninja class. It had reached level fifty in terms of power, so it would be hard to find Aion. Unless the enemies get really close, and even if they do, Aion can just kill them and dispose of their bodies with his weapon… he doesn't want to process human bodies. Still, he will ignore that rule that he put on himself in order to save his sisters.

Thanks to his flying speed, Aion reached the border around eight in the evening… the trip that was supposed to take one week, he did it in six hours. He saw some fortresses on the border and with a lot of lights on, but he didn't stop to talk with anyone there or even look for his father and brothers.

Around midnight, Aion managed to find some camps across the desert and some watchtowers. The bandits sure were being cautious… Aion wanted to trash everything that they had, but that would be a bad move now.

"My first goal is to find them and then let loose and make them regret being born…" Aion thought, already imagining how he was going to make them feel absolute despair.

One hour later, Aion found the fallen capital of the Milleris Kingdom… The bandits had changed a few things since Aion had been there. He didn't think that they were that good at magic, but they managed to wall the whole thing. Which was quite surprising given that they weren't that good with magic…

Aion furrowed his eyebrows as he saw that, and he did it even more so when he noticed that the enemies were using the half-destroyed castle as their base. The base of the structure was quite large, but several towers that were over one hundred meters tall were still standing and looked in good condition.

Aion approached the towers since they were completely dark and then entered them before changing his class to Ninja and using Furtivity. The place was covered in dust, so Aion confirmed that it hadn't been checked in quite a while.

Without wasting time, Aion began to climb down the stairs of the first tower. While his mother never mentioned it, he imagined that the place had a lot of underground rooms that were used for all kinds of stuff, like secret meetings and magic research. It was probably a good starting point to look for his sisters there.

"I need to look for the guards and wait for them to spill the beans… I can't risk interrogating them," Aion thought when he reached the bottom of the staircase.

The place was empty, but since it had a ton of sand inside and some torches, Aion managed to find some traces of people coming and going. That was useful, but it was a pain for him since his footsteps would be visible. His best option was to fly using wind magic… that was possible but not that efficient.

"I can't wait, and I need to move and find them… I don't know their condition, so I might be running against time," Aion thought while furrowing his eyebrows.

Using wind magic, Aion began to levitate close to the ceiling and trying not to make any noise. That was hard since that was just a tier-one class, and he was already using mana to stay semi-invisible.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Aion to find a big door in the distance. Half of it looked made of wood, and the other of some gray stone that seemed to be rich in magic. That was definitely the entrance to the throne room…

Aion saw some guards in front of it and decided to investigate it further…

Aion thought that someone would come and go soon, but it was past midnight, and the guards were way too relaxed. Like, they were resting their back against the sides of the door while holding their spears.
