Chapter 199: Undoing Pt.1

Lake had finished his checks on the other four groups and was now waiting for the piece of metal he had been given to light up. The Temple Head said it would happen during the attack on the Mana siphon so he still had a bit of time before it happened. Lake was sure the attacks would start soon though because with everyone in place sitting around was just giving the Demon Worshipers more time to notice them and prepare.

...

Donny looked at the others that were with him and then at the one holding the device that would tell them when to move in. "It's hard to believe that the Demon Worshipers would dare to put one of their bases so close to the guild." The Group he was in had only had to move a few streets over from the fighters guild after they had met up with a small amount of mages from the Metal Temple to arrive at the place they had been sent to raid.

"Not that crazy if you think they were hoping to catch us off guard." Donny guessed that made sense but he didn't think this small building they would be attacking could really be holding enough people to go against the guilds. Even if the other guilds hadn't sent any forces to deal with the Demon Worshipers didn't mean they wouldn't defend the district if it was attacked.

Looking away from the person who had the device since they had put it back into their pocket, Donny started to look around for another person to talk to to pass the time. He eventually found someone he thought might know something about Lake because of the skills they had. With skills like theirs they would be a scout or a thief and either way they should know something about a scout like Lake.

It was the person who had let them into the house they were using to hide. "Have you ever heard of a person named Lake?" Donny knew it wasn't really the best time for him to be investigating the person he suspected of being the one who stole his shield but he had been separated from the people who could be considered to be Lake's friends so he didn't need to worry about him asking about Lake getting back to Lake.

"This door in front of us has someone behind it." One of the people in the back of the line must have an earth affinity or something because they called out to the leader that they had found someone in one of the next rooms. "Ok we'll start there." The leader didn't directly blast this door. Donny felt it was because so far they hadn't seen anything that would make them think a Demon Worshiper was who was in the next room and instead walked up to it to open it slowly.

He had also noticed that this raid was nothing like the ones he had been a part of yesterday. He didn't know if that was a good thing or not though. "Hello. Is anyone here?" The leader asked this like they didn't already know the answer and when they got no answer they tried again. "We're from the Fighters guild. We just want to ask you some questions."

With still no answer coming from the room the leader said. "We're going to enter now." After they said that they positioned their barriers in front of them again and started to enter the room. Donny followed them inside and following their eyes as well he saw a person in the room corner clearly having been trying to hide.

They looked normal from what he could see of them but there was no way to know who someone was by how they looked even if it seemed to be a pretty accurate method most of the time. "Come out here." It seemed the leader didn't want to be the one to close the distance and instead wanted to have the person hiding to come towards them.

When there was still no reaction from the person in the corner of the room Donny started to wonder if they were dealing with a dead person. They also hadn't cleared the rest of the building yet so he was worried about being flanked since they all had their attention on this room and what was in front of them.

Turning away Donny asked. "Which one of you called this out?" He wanted to see if they were able to watch their backs or maybe even tell him if they had only sensed this person because they were moving before they entered the room. Seeing a dwarf step forward Donny knew he had found the right person so he didn't even wait for them to confirm this and asked. "Was this person moving before we entered the room?"

The dwarf started to nod so Donny said. "Thank you, and would you mind keeping your eye behind us while we deal with this?" The dwarf gave him a thumbs up and said. "Already on it." Donny figured that would be the case since dwarves were so good at doing their job but he felt like he should still say it.

Turning back around Donny got the person who had taken his place out of his way and said to the leader. "They're faking." The leader nodded and started to creep their way towards the person in the corner.
