"Quickly change this to code black!"
Hurriedly shouting orders, Thomas disappeared from where he was standing.
"...Ah, goddammit! this is more serious than I had expected"
Quickly teleporting back into the black market, Thomas quickly pressed the emergency button causing the whole facility to turn red as alarms started ringing
-Daaaang!
-Daaaang!
-Daaaang!
Taking out his phone he quickly dialed a number
-Ring! -Ring! -Ring!
"...Hello?"
From the other side of the phone, a cold emotionless voice entered Thomas's ears.
"Boss we have a situation"
"...Explain"
"Dungeon gate 756, Code black, possible dungeon desync"
Pausing slightly, the cold voice said
"...I understand, you will be granted full authority regarding this matter"
-Tak!
Right after saying that, the person on the other side of the phone hung up, leaving Thomas standing there speechlessly.
"Goddamit! Why do I always have to do the dirty work!"
Cursing out loud and stomping his feet in anger, Thomas quickly dialed another number.
-Ring! -Ring! -Ring!
"Yes?"
Shortly after dialing the number, a male voice entered Thomas's ears. Hearing the voice, Thomas quickly shouted orders.
"Call in all alpha units with a rank F or below"
"...sorry?"
"Do it now! it's an order!"
"Y-yes!"
Suddenly being ordered by Thomas the person on the other side of the phone was left momentarily confused, but as soon as he noticed the urgency in Thomas's voice he immediately did as he was instructed.
-Tak!
Hanging up the phone, Thomas looked around. The whole facility was in a state of lockdown, and the whole place was dyed red as alarms constantly rang through the surroundings.
Pinching the middle of his brows, Thomas sighed.
"...I seriously hope the situation is not as dire as I think it is"
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Deep gashes started appearing all over my body as the Demon traced his finger around my body. It felt as if I was being cut by a cold metal knife.
I wanted to move, but I couldn't. It felt as if a massive boulder was weighing down on me, preventing me from moving.
Although the Baron of Everblood was not using his main body, the presence exerted by him wasn't something I could handle.
Baron of Everblood had killed countless experts throughout his whole life. He rose from being e regular demon to against all odds becoming a Baron ranked demon.
Countless sacrifices were made in his journey to the top―He had shed lots of blood throughout his journey to the top. He had also backstabbed demons whom he had once called friends just to be able to reach the point that he was now...
Just now, all that the baron of Everblood needed to do was release the killing intent that he had acquired through countless killings, to completely paralyze me.
Knowing this, I needed to buy myself time to adapt to the killing intent―it's just that it was much easier being said than done...It felt like a looming threat that was similar to a longsword that hung in my heart, ready to pierce it and kill me at a moment's notice causing my body to paralyze in fear.
Very soon, as I felt death coming closer to me, an idea came into my mind as I started speaking
"Aren't you curious as to why I know what you're doing?"
Halting, Baron of Everblood stopped tracing his finger on my body and looked at me
"...Speak"
"huuu, the only reason you haven't killed me yet is because you want to know how I knew you were trying to create a dungeon overload right?..khk"
Tracing his sharp black finger on my neck, a red line appeared. Blood slowly dripped down from the cut, falling onto the cold ground.
"...Get to the point"
"kh...not only do I know that you're trying to create a dungeon overload, but I also know that this isn't the only dungeon you're planning to overload"
Altough I knew that spilling what I knew was stupid, I had no choice. It was either this or death.
I had to buy time...
At least enough to figure out how to get out of this situation.
Moreover, me revealing what I knew to Baron of Everblood wasn't actually that significant of a matter.
