Chapter 66: The Quest To Save Lily [8]
****

[5 Days Later]

Amon exited his apartment, into the dark starless night.

Gray formless clouds were parting through the blanket of dark sky, leaving small trails in their wake.

Despite the hot humid weather, slight gusts of chilly wind graced the land from time to time.

The air had a touch of saltiness in it, making him aware that it would rain soon tonight.

Tonight was the final night. 2 days were left before his quest would end and so today he would clear it.

Rather than taking a risk of time and doing it tomorrow, he chose to do it today.

It was about 12:30 AM right now, and his sister was fast asleep in her room.

Later that previous day, when he had finished checking out the information by the Cryptic Glories, he also received the equipment he had ordered from HOU 3 hours later.

After the dungeon incident, he suffered some minor tears and scratches on the equipment.

So after obtaining the platinum membership, he returned the equipment to HOU for repairs and further enhancements.

It now had a stealth enhancement that would completely cover his body and tracks for 5 minutes.

However, people stronger than the artifact’s rank were able to sense his presence with a little difficulty due to which he needed to be very careful.

A 4th tier armentist was no joke.

During these 5 days, he had taken several trips to the street in his new equipment at different times of the day.

And each time, Lily wasn’t present there anymore but rather a different girl had taken her place.

Rather than interacting with her though, he used his stealth enhancement this time and took several visits to the main building of Blackchain Enclave.

Though he had made the plan using the blueprint, he wanted to analyze how he would personally infiltrate the building.

Especially since he didn’t know where Lily was going to be among the extremely large number of children.

Fortunately, he was lucky that he did because after arriving in the secluded street where the building was located, he was instantly made aware of how tight the security was.

But actually, the security wasn’t that tight. It was that the slave house building was quite small.

Maybe it was to keep its activities under cover or something else, he didn’t know.

But he did know no matter how stealthy he was, going from the front was definitely suicidal.

After observing the security in and out for 2 days, he concluded that most of them were 1st leaf clovists, contrary to what he assumed earlier.

Only about 8 to 10 were 2nd order clovists were present as far as he had seen.

After further investigation, he found out that every child would sit down on the street for 1 week and they would be changed the next week, thus the reason why Lily disappeared after one week.

And since the children were special to them, they assigned the few 2nd order clovists they had to protect them.

If someone wanted to enter the tavern for any kind of business they had to tell the child a secret code that would be heard by the guards protecting her, leading them to further lead the client in the building.

Moving back to the present, Amon quickly got out of the apartment area.

To his surprise, some couples or people were still roaming the streets.

Regardless, he called a horse carriage and quickly gave it one Exlor for a trip to the City Centre.

Normally, he would walk but he wanted to get done with this as quickly as possible today.

He still had classes to attend in the morning.

[After 25 Minutes]

Amon arrived in the street where Lily used to sit and saw another girl sitting there.

However, rather than walking up to her, he jumped on top of a small shed of a store.

From there, he jumped on a higher platform and eventually on top of a building.

He had his nodachi strapped to his waist which was further hidden by the cloak.

Though it hindered some of his movement and put some weight on him, it gave him the effects of the weapon.

Due to this, his [Strength] and [Agility] stats were now at the level of a 2nd order clovist.

Furthermore, his [Blood] element was now Level 2 with [Lightning] only needing one more point to get to Level 2 as well.

After activating this effect for the first time in those 5 days, he instantly received an influx of information in his mind about the [Blood] element.

Aside from his usual manipulation speed increase and it becoming easier to shape it, he could finally form blood into weapons.

He could now properly shape blood into a sword or any other weapon as long as he perfectly imagined it.

Not only that, but now the acceleration of blood inside his body was relatively easier.

It was no longer such a large risk.

Pushing his thoughts back, Amon ducked onto the roof and efficiently traveled to its edge.

There, he immediately saw the 2 guards who were guarding the small kid hidden in another building.

However, he chose to do nothing.

As much as he wanted to free every kid who was held as a slave, he knew it was impossible as well.

In this way, let alone Lily, he doubted he would come out alive from the confrontation.

Additionally, he wanted to avoid as many guards as he could.

He could beat 1st order clovists, but not that many.

So, ignoring the kid, he quickly hopped from building to building, traveling through the streets.

After 5 days of doing it, this had become normal for him.

Finally, after 5 minutes, he arrived on a roof adjacent to the building.

There it was.

The building wasn’t that large as Amon had talked about it previously as well.

Even the roof he was standing on right now, was higher than the Enclave’s roof.

The normal way right now would be to enter through the roof but of course, he knew how much security would be placed there.

What’s more was that according to the blueprint he received, the slaves were probably stored in the basement.

He didn’t want to take such a long path.

And so he looked over at the entrance of the building, where 2 guards were stationed in formal suits.

He kept looking at them for 2 minutes before checking his watch and looking back again.

At that moment, both guards moved and he stretched his arms.

“It’s time.”
