Chapter 299 Inside The Facility
The five of them were finally able to get into the interior of the facility. While the man was still glued to the doorway with a confused look on his face.
Saeldir freed the man from his Magic's snare a moment later. The man was suddenly able to move his body again.
"What the hell just happened?"
He muttered confusedly in the middle of the corridor. His flustered voice echoed off the cold metal walls.
The man then took a deep breath. His facial expression said as if he could already accept the strangeness that had just happened to him.
"This must be because of the subjects," he said.
The man didn't seem to want to linger too long in his confused state. Because he had remembered something that he thought was the answer to what just happened to him now.
He then shook his head and walked through the door. The door closed and locked with a brief snap.
The five of them had already started walking. But they were still close enough to hear what the man muttered.
'Did you hear that? He's getting used to the Magic issued by the subjects,' Billy said.
'That means they've seen a lot of stuff going on in there,' Adrien said.
'Exactly how far have those people's Magic abilities developed?' Aurdis said with a worried tone.
Saeldir on the other hand didn't say anything. He sank into his own mind thinking of all sorts of possibilities before their eyes.
Then, Saeldir felt compelled to tell them what he had expected.
'The possibility for us to fight them is getting bigger.'
They all turned towards Saeldir. Their eyes showed obvious concern.
'Then it can't be helped,' Erend said.
They all exchanged glances at him. Erend's eyes which were originally full of worry like theirs were turned into something else.
Now his eyes were shining with preparation. It was as if he was lighting a fire within himself to be used if a battle was inevitable.
Seeing that attitude, Adrien and Billy calmed down a bit. They already know how powerful Erend is. And they believe he is more than capable of fighting them.
If the two of them who had never seen Erend's true strength started to calm down, then Aurdis and Saeldir were even calmer.
They had already seen how Erend fought in his Dragon form. Especially Saeldir who had seen what kind of terrible power was inside Erend.
They went deeper into the corridor.
All that's left now is an ordinary metal door with no scanners or guards.
The people in this secret facility must have had enough with just one door equipped with tight security because their location was so hidden. They don't expect any breach to happen
Erend opened the door slowly with a dagger in his hand. He looked right and left quickly through the little gap in the door.
'There are several people here. Come on, quickly!' Erend said.
They quickly slipped in and closed the door.
Inside the room which looked like the lobby were three people.
One person sat behind a desk that looked like a reception desk.
While the other two were security officers in black clothes and weapons who appeared to be asleep.
The fact that the two security guards were sleeping in their chairs even though it was still early in the morning showed how tiring their job was.
The person at the reception - a woman - frowned when she saw the door open by itself.
But soon the door was closed again. And nothing gets past it.
Because she was also very tired, the female officer ignored the strange incident.
In her mind, the door that opened by itself was also caused by the influence of Magic that was already spreading everywhere in this place.
The people at the facility took it for granted because it happened so often.
Little did she know, Aurdis was right in front of her with outstretched arms.
The rings on her fingers glowed gently preparing to send Magic to make her lose consciousness.
Saeldir has also temporarily turned off the surveillance cameras.
Adrien and Erend were also behind the security guards and were preparing to take them down.
But it seems that all is not necessary. The woman at the reception just yawned and continued typing something on her computer.
'Everything seems fine,' Billy said.
'You're right,' Adrien replied. 'Let's go.'
They then left the room and walked through the corridor that was at the reception desk. Until they finally arrived at a large room.
In this room a lot of people walking around wearing white lab jackets, casual clothes, and black uniforms of special forces.
There are not many of them. But they were most likely experts drawn from their respective fields.
Billy opened his cell phone to check again where the locations of the subjects.
It was very convenient when the white Magic coat that Saeldir and Aurdis gave could also hide all the equipment they used.
'Over there,' Billy pointed to a place at the end of this room. There is a door that connects this room to another corridor.
The five of them walked carefully so as not to bump into passers-by.
As soon as they reached the door, Aurdis and Saeldir put up a veil with their Magic so that no one would see that the door was being opened by something invisible.
So all they see is the same state. The door was still closed and no one had entered.
'Wow, you guys can do anything with Magic, huh?' Billy asked in awe.
Saeldir looked at him. 'You've seen it so many times yet you're still in awe of it?'
Billy grinned. 'I'm just feeling a little excited. If I can already master Magic, that means I can also do the same things as you guys, right?'
Billy talks back about the problem they want to avoid.
But he said it with a cheerful tone and a smile on his face.
It made them almost believe that Magic's awakening in this world wasn't such a bad thing.
