Chapter 188 Let's go together II
Alec held the urge to smack Kyle's head when he heard his words.
"Are you kidding me? No way you are going alone, it's too dangerous. Let's go together.
He said with a deadly serious expression, not wanting to back down even a little. Kyle sighed when he saw Alec's stubborn expression.
"Okay, then the others should..."
His sentence was cut short when Carcel who always stayed quiet showed him an irritated expression.
"I will go with you as well."
Mia stepped toward the trio with a frown. She was the second closest person to Bia after Kyle.
"Me too, I won't be able to take it if something happened to Bia."
Carcel gazed back at her with a serious expression. It was dangerous, he knew very well but if she wanted to come along who was he to stop her?
Professor Oliver shook his head looking at them. They were all young and filled with hormones, even though the beast was important but for him getting the kids out of this place safely was a top priority.
"Kids, it's better if we leave this place first. After we are in a more safe location I will contact the Academy they will send someone to save Kyle's bonded companion."
Kyle looked back at the Professor with a dissatisfied expression but he kept quiet for a few seconds. He could sense Bia's presence, she was not that far. There was no way he was going to leave her behind because he was having a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach. After all, no matter how much he called her name inwardly she didn't reply.
Through their link, Kyle was able to talk to Bia no matter where they were but now the sudden quietness was making him uneasy.
"I am leaving."
He said with a serious expression and started moving toward the stairway.
Alec and Carcel both glared at the Professor who was speechless.
"We are going to follow him."
They instantly followed behind Kyle with Mia tagging together with them. Jenny looked at Blane who shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know why but I think it's a lot better if we followed them."
He said and dashed behind Carcel fading back. Jenny looked at the Professor.
"Sir, I am gonna follow Blane. Please make sure to send reinforcement if you find the exit."
She didn't wait for an answer and left the bewildered Professor who massaged his temples with a sigh. He looked at the remaining students with a complicated expression.
"Let's follow them. It's safer if we all stayed together."
Professor Oliver staggered toward the stairway but he stopped when he reached the end because his hair stood up behind his back.
"There's an Array around here."
He spoke in a hushed tone but Kyle who was waiting outside the Array so the others could leave safely raised his brow.
Kyle pointed to the left.
"Walked out from that place it's safe."
Professor Oliver looked at Kyle's finger, he was anxious because if the Array was activated their escape plan would be busted but after seeing how Alec, Carcel, Mia, Blane, and Jenny were standing outside the Array he followed Kyle's finger and stepped out from the left side.
The other students quietly followed behind the Professor.
Kyle looked at the Professor who stood beside him and blinked his eyes.
Oliver stared back at him with a serious expression. He wasn't strong but he would do his best to protect the kids.
"What? stop staring and lead the way before someone arrives at this place."
Kyle didn't say anything and nodded. He started walking in the shadows with silent footsteps while everyone followed behind him.
After a minute, he stopped because he saw two men patrolling around a few meters away from him.
He tightly grabbed the spear in his hand, ready to attack when Oliver moved swiftly and slit their necks within a few seconds.
"Let's move."
Kyle snapped out of his daze and nodded.
"We need to go up."
He pointed at a stairway and started climbing with the others silently following behind him.
They passed through a few more narrow paths and climbed two more stairways. While moving, Kyle spotted some more people patrolling around but Oliver quietly took out everyone without making any noise.
After taking out another enemy, Oliver looked back at Kyle with a frown.
'Is it my imagination or are we strolling around a dangerous place like it's our backyard?'
There was no way this eerie place only had these weak bugs, Oliver could take care of very easily. He narrowed his eyes and quietly walked beside Kyle who closed his eyes to sense something and pointed at their left.
Alec chuckled slightly when he saw Oliver's complicated expression.
Meanwhile, the cyan-haired man Kyle saw in the room filled with dead bodies walked around for a few minutes but a frustrated expression appeared on his face when he didn't sense or find any other tracks except for some bloodstains leading toward the dead body which disappeared from his room.
He clenched his brows with a furious expression and moved forward with large strides.
After walking around for a while, he arrived in front of the underground prison where the new subjects from the Royal Academy were tied up.
His dark facial expression brightens a little.
"I can't find that fly but I can play with the new kids."
He rubbed his hands with an evil grin but frowned when he didn't see any guard around the stairway.
"So irresponsible! I know the kids can't run away because they are tied up with mana restraining metal but they should place some guards in this place."
He spoke angrily and was going to call someone to send a few guards when his eyes narrowed into a slit as he noticed a huge hole within the Array present outside the stairway.
"Shit."
He cursed and entered the Array. The ring present on his finger shone when the faint mana touched his skin as he easily passed the Array. He hurriedly descended the stairway only to curse once again with a livid expression.
"Damn it! Those kids funking ran away. What the hell is Larry doing?"
