Chapter 1014 Navigating Through The Underground
-----
I kept spying on the Elven team, finding out about Alma and Hermes abilities and a bit of their past by peeping at their Status, the twins were next. Their name was Elma and Elena, one had dark green hair and the other had bright green hair. The twins had different personalities as well, one was cheerful and the other was rather emotionless and looked around without changing her expression at all. However, both had a powerful and strange connection with supernatural powers.
By checking their Status, I noticed both had the powerful Ability named [Twin Connection] which allowed both of them to connect their minds and share some sort of supernatural psych bond. They also are not reincarnated people and are original from this world, but they got something like Psychic powers, wow, that's new I guess.
The two have more Abilities such as Telekinesis, Telepathy, Psychic Barrier, and more. They seem to specialize in using them for their advantage and perhaps to talk with other members of their group somewhere else… However, the most surprising thing is that they also had great magic affinities, both of them had fire, water, and nature attributes, three in one single mana core each! They were amazingly talented. I've heard that Elves normally have two element affinities, but three?! And even more, without a second mana core inside of them!
"Knife, do your thing." Alma said, as she unsheathed her pink knife, which shone brightly and then generated a hole in space, where they stored the corpses of the elven soldiers… "And done."
"Without leaving any trails as usual, princess?" The Knife spoke, quickly reminding me of Uller and Skadi, and now of Hel, Benladann's talking Axe.
"We can't leave any trace. They'll be easily alerted eventually if we leave them here… Let's continue." Alma led her group as they slowly walked across the caves.
"I can sense a troop of ten coming here, they don't seem to know about us but think there's something suspicious…" One of the twins said, as the other nodded. "That's right!"
"Alright then, it's my time to shine now, leave this to me." Hermes cracked his knuckles, as the entire army of ten elves armed with mechanic armor to enhance their physical abilities and holding large futuristic-looking guns straight out of a sci-fi movie or show appeared.
"Did you said you felt something here? There's nothing here though."
"Yeah, I am pretty sure there was something… where's the smaller troop at though?"
"I don't know, didn't they go take a break?"
"Hmm, they really take it easy, those guys…"
The elves were walking amongst themselves carefreely, easily showing they had no idea there was an ambush here. Hermes smiled at this chance to use his powers, as he suddenly took out several knives from his own pocket, more than what should actually fit inside, probably using some sort of space storage magic, and then imbuing each knife with a deep blue mana aura.
FLASH!
Suddenly, he threw the knives right towards the walls in front of him, but they suddenly went through the walls, emerging around the soldiers faces and piercing right in the middle of their foreheads!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"Uuaggh!"
"Gaahh!"
"Uuggh…!"
"Wh-What the…?!"
A few of them managed to survive and evade in time, but the knives hey evaded simply continued traveling across space as if small wormholes appeared within the walls themselves, until all knives reached their targets, killing all ten of the elves!
Amazing, so this is how people use space magic to fight, huh? I guess teleporting around seems a bit too expensive but make a knife slip through space seems way more cost-efficient.
"Mana Overload."
CRAAASH!
Alma quickly destroyed the devices of their ten victims and then stored them inside her knife's spatial storage ability, as the group quickly nodded at one another, without speaking this time, and moving forward.
Were they using telepathy to talk or something? Damn it, if I try to peek at what they're talking about using my own psychic powers, I might get found out, so I better just stay here in silence for now.
They ran and ran, taking down several of the soldiers. The twins took down five soldiers by using their psychic powers, using Telekinesis to slam them into the floor or Telepathy to invade their minds and make their heads go into shambles… the twins were pretty deadly as well.
Ultimately, after killing over thirty soldiers, they reached an area very near where they were heading, the facility of Greenwood. There was no doubt about it. I saw an enormous building underground, with even car-looking carriages in there holding several materials and transporting them around the facility. Countless elves that all looked almost the same as greenwood were there too. Are they like clones or something?
"We are here…" Alma said.
"How do we even infiltrate now?" Hermes wondered.
"With this, obviously." One of the twins said, as the other nodded. "Key."
They had taken many possessions from the elves they killed, including strange key-shaped items they used to enter the facility. Wow, that was deadly easy, but it feels like there's something wrong here. Are they not going to get ambushed or something by now?
"Root, are you there?" One of the twins, Elma, spoke.
She remained in silence as she spoke through telepathy.
"He seems to have arrived at the facility, he's underground and waiting for the signal to start attacking. Do you think we could broke through, princess Alma?" Wondered Elena, the other twin.
"Root is a monster, I'm sure we could if we force our way, but we'll probably get swarmed by laser gun attacks and magic attacks. There's no mechs so that problem is out but still, this feels suspiciously easy, I guess gun attacks are not so much if I erect a strong enough barrier." Alma said, rubbing her chin.
"Yeah, this seems suspicious to me as well. There's something really fishy." Hermes said.
"It almost feels…"
"As if Greenwood is inviting us inside…"
