Chapter 768 Fun Ride
"What a weird place to put a maximum security prison," Kiyu stated. She, like the rest of the skulk, was in their fox forms surrounding Kraft as the only 'human' to stakeout right outside the 'prison'. With Kraft using his abilities, no one should be able to see them before they acted. Still, it was effective enough to not catch any attention from the tower guards around the prison.
"Only Moloch could think of such a ridiculous place to put a maximum security prison." Pei shook her head as she looked over the railings and surveyed the surroundings. It looked as if it was at the busiest street intersection of the Demon Metropolis and only a fair distance away from the Royal Palace. Guards were everywhere, and it served as a warning to the others who would dare commit crimes in the Demon Metropolis. At the same time, it was also a testament to Moloch's intricate design and the portrayed image of the prison being unbreakable.
Even if someone dared to try and break out, or yet even crazier, try to break in, the Royal Palace was on the watch, and many in the Royal Guards were dying to prove their worth so they could get promoted into the inner Royal Guards to serve the Demon King directly. Even if not for the Royal Guards, the demon adventurers themselves wished to prove their strength and hopefully gain some recognition to be a noble.
The prison enticed people to catch the prisoners as if it had tremendous rewards to do so, but they did not know it was a ploy by the royalty and King Baal only gave such exemplary rewards twice. Still, that was enough for propaganda services to take effect.
"I think it's meant to attract this huge crowd so that people can see what the Demon King was doing when Moloch executed his long term plan. Sadly, that cotton minotaur couldn't have predicted that his plan would potentially backfire this badly when he tried to prove to everyone King Baal was going insane." Evon commented, and the rest felt a tinge of pity for Moloch.
"To be honest, I find that Moloch you guys are talking about, rather refreshing. In my opinion, its advantages of his construction outweigh the disadvantages by a lot, especially when you take into consideration how the demons can resurrect after a certain time frame, just by paying some money. If there was ever a prison break, there are too many witnesses around to catch the prisoners in action. Police in the vicinity is able to come and reinforce in time. Remember how hard it was to capture that one Weasel Cultivator back in the day because we enclosed him deep in the mountains, thinking he would not break out from his prison cage created by...Zhou Lin?" Rex took some difficulty to say the last name but nevertheless did so without any emotion.
"Ah, that rascal weasel cultivator...He really was a major pain in the ass." Tsu reminisced as he climbed up onto Kraft's head for a better view of the area. "If we are going the brute force way, I suggest we do it swiftly or else, the Royal Palace guards will come storming in less than twenty minutes."
"So, we got to be out in less than twenty? Sounds eas-" Suddenly a large paper fan flew onto Kraft's face and stopped him from talking. Pei held the paper fan with her mouth since she too was in fox form and subsequently took it out to shout at Kraft.
"DO. NOT. CURSE. OUR. RUN!" Pei practically screamed each word with such ferocity that she really meant business and the others would not even dare to oppose her on that. Because of that unlucky running mouth of Kraft, things were bound to happen in the opposite way, and they had to work extra hard to overcome those unexpected adversities. Worst of all, they all knew Kraft was doing it intentionally, craving the extra chaos as it made things 'interesting' as he would justify his actions.
"I think his curse had already been activated." Itori pointed with her paw at the roadside beside the maximum security prison. An entourage of carriages with bright exquisite designs indicative of 'Royalty' had been spotted right beside the gate of the prison.
"Come to think of it, Moloch did say that only a small part of the Royal Family actually appeared on the battlefield. There were Prince Stolas and Princess Gaap with the latter being dead. Probably a few more siblings who had not answered the call for arms or perhaps they've been stationed here on standby?" Ixa queried, and suddenly a message was pinged on Kraft's phone.
"Oooh! Looks like there's some interesting development. Jin is going for a counter-attack, and the System wants us to create a ruckus so the King will go after the ruckus to clear the raid to protect his Dungeon Core."
"So...we are not caring about the royalty that came by?" Ixa asked once more since she had been ignored by the whole skulk.
"What are you talking about sis? Of course, we care! We always care about the royalties!" Ixel answered in a sarcastic way, and Itori caught wind that her brother was implying on the Royal Zodiac clans.
"Then, what are we waiting for?" Rex turned into a human and gave an upward nod along with a grin which everyone followed suit. Ixel placed his leg on the railing and using it as a support, he jumped up to the skies and looked down at the maximum security prison. Suddenly, Ixel landed on something in mid-air proving Kraft's hypothesis to be true. There was yet another invisible energy shield that was protecting the prison, and the moment he stepped on it, the entire prison went on alert.
Bells rang loudly, and deafening sirens were blaring throughout the whole prison. Spotlights started to illuminate, and Ixel continued to climb upwards despite the spherical curvature of the energy shield. The spotlights managed to gather on him, given that they used magic to direct the coordinates of the intrusion. With a few sprints, Ixel reached the pinnacle of the energy shield and jumped up once more.
Separately, the guards quickly strengthened the shield to the maximum concentrating on the top part and started to sortie a few aerial sentry Dragonlites to the scene in order to stop the threat. The Royal Entourage that came to visit the prison hastened their steps into the prison, assuming command of the entire area.
Currently, they did not know what the objectives of the intruder were but seeing that there only seemed to be one person, they assumed it could either be an accomplice trying to break out their friend out of prison or someone insane enough not to get captured by the toughest police in the city. Whatever the case, they would find out once they caught him.
Kraft chuckled as he saw Ixel soar up to the sky and the feeble resistance meant to stop him. He saw the cultivation of the large Grizzly bear appearing above Ixel.
"Oh, it will be a fun ride. A very fun ride, indeed!"
