Chapter 185 Breakout
The first thing that we had to take care of were the guards that were outside the cave we had been put in.
But that was very easy since…they were both asleep.
These guards were completely exhausted after the feast and they didn't think that anything would happen with the humans tied up, so they fell asleep in the room outside the cave.
That was the last mistake of their lives.
When the time came, we slowly made our way out of the room with Cecilia and her subordinates in the lead.
They were all fully equipped with their weapons and armour, so they didn't have a problem taking out the demons.
If the demons were awake, it might have been hard.
The specialty that demons had was that they were filled with powerful mana. With that powerful mana, they would be able to form magic barriers around their skin that could even resist sharp blades.
It was just too bad that these powerful magic barriers didn't work when they were asleep.
Well, they worked, but they weren't as strong as when they were awake.
So it took a simple slip of the sword to cut through their necks.
The demons didn't even get a chance to make a sound as Cecilia and one of the knights held their mouths shut as they slit their throats. The demons could only look up to see the humans who had killed them as the light drained from their eyes.
With this, there was no turning back.
Without any hesitation, we headed down one of the passages in this room and soon we reached the treasury.
Before entering the treasury, I put on the Detection Ward and checked it out first.
When I saw the people that were there, I took off the Detection Ward and waved for the rest to follow me in.
The ones that were already here were Moon and her elves.
There were two of them that had dark blood on them, but it was the same with Cecilia and the knight. This was the blood of the demons that we had killed.
After seeing us arrive, Moon came forward and asked, "What do we do now? It's locked."
I didn't answer this question and instead walked over to the stalagmite that held the key.
I pushed down on the top of the stalagmite and the key was revealed.
Then taking this key, I opened up the gate that was in front of us before giving a gesture inviting them in.
Seeing this, everyone looked at me with a bitter smile on their faces before a few of them moved forward.
There was a group that protected the area while a few of us went in to see if there was anything that we could use here.
After all, when I had been here this afternoon, I didn't take everything that had been here.
I had only taken a few things that I thought were useful, but there were still plenty of other things here. There were plenty of things that I didn't know what they did, so I had no reason to take them.
But now that everyone else was here, I wanted to see if they knew what these things did.
It was better to use these things to help us than to leave them here after all.
Haley was the one that had the most fun here.
She was like a child in a candy store as she started going through all of the items that were on the ground. She found quite a few things that it seemed like she wanted to take, but after thinking about it, she left those things there.
That was because she wanted these things for personal reasons and they wouldn't actually help us here.
Seeing this, I patted her on the shoulder and said, "We can come back for these things later."
She looked up at me before giving a nod and then looking back at the items on the ground with an unwilling look.
Moon was the person who was the second most interested in this pile.
She found a few things that caught her attention and she put them into her Storage Ring without any hesitation.
That was the difference between those that had a Storage Ring and those that didn't.
She was able to keep what she wanted in that Storage Ring without a single care since it was a secure place to keep things, that was also out of the way.
Haley looked at me as if she was asking me to do the same.
A bitter smile appeared on my face as she looked at me like this.
I did have a Storage Ring, but it wasn't mine in the first place. It was the one that I was currently borrowing from the blonde elf, so I couldn't just use it as I wanted.
Seeing this, she gave a sigh before turning her attention back to the pile.
It didn't take long for us to find the things that we needed, so we quickly left the treasury.
It would only be a matter of time before the demons sent people to check the cells, so we only had so much time before our jailbreak was discovered.
Before that, we had to get in position to take out the demons, so there was no time to waste.
Since we were done here, there was no reason for us to stay here any longer.
I put on the Detection Ward and disappeared in front of everyone before heading out first to scout the area.
When they heard the signal, which was the sound of a stone dropping, they followed behind me.
Just like this, we made our way to the exit of the cave.
But before leaving this cave, I had to check the situation outside.
As I had expected, all of the demons were just lying on the ground asleep. They had all knocked out from the food and drinks that they had, so this was the perfect chance.
I went back to the rest and told them, "Get ready, we only have a certain amount of time before they start waking up and fighting back."
All of them nodded in response to this.
They knew the plan, they wouldn't make a mistake.
So it was time to get it started.
