Chapter 225: Red Arrow

Getting kind of bored, Lake started to think of a way he could cause a commotion without moving. He had been waiting for a while now and he was starting to think this place wasn't reacting to anything going on outside. He guessed they were some type of reserves or guarding something important.

He had his knife and he knew he was able to throw it through walls with Crunch but the hole it would leave would point them right to him if they looked through it. This led him to think of using his skill Magic Arrow instead. He should be able to fly it in a path that wouldn't lead them to him even if they were to trace its path.

He would also be able to take out a few other people during his attack so that he wouldn't have to hide the body of the person whose core he would take to get him a human disguise. He could also pretend he had been hit to explain the blood on his clothes if anyone noticed.

Since he was supposed to be an undead being slightly hit by an arrow wouldn't have killed him and he would have healed already. Pretending it was time for him to check the stairs, Lake walked into the next room and opened the door to the stairs. Using Crunch and throwing his arrow into the air, Lake flew it through the wall of the staircase and into the main base.

Now if they were able to trace it back to where it had come from it would look like someone had launched it from the stairs after killing the guard he was currently disguised as. By the time they found this he hoped he would be someone else so he had no problem just leaving this body here.

With the arrow now flying around wildly inside the walls he walked back into the hallway where he was supposed to be and used Mana Vision to try and aim his arrow. It was good that he was able to see the arrow as well as the people he was aiming for because all he had to do to start taking people out was make the two meet.

The first few people he hit he didn't receive any Exp but he wasn't surprised since they were most likely undead but it was enough to get them into a panic and a few seconds later the effects already reached him with people starting to run towards where the arrow was repeatedly stabbing people.

The body he needed to destroy was disfigured enough that he could take their face and no one would notice. Once he switched his identity Lake walked back to the room because this was where the person he had turned into was supposed to be. Seeing how easily he had been able to kill the six that were now dead on the floor, Lake wondered if he should just go on a killing spree instead of trying to covertly get out of here but decided there was no way to know if it would be safe to do.

For all he knew there was someone here he couldn't beat which sounded unlikely but there was no way to know especially since there were undead around. Lake had no grasp on what kind of things undead could do as they got stronger. He had seen the undead giants the Demon Lord had and they seemed to have crazy abilities.

This meant leaving was a better idea and he might come back later if he found out he needed to for some reason but for now he just wanted to focus on getting to the surface or at least as far up as he could get. Right after thinking this he remembered the people he had been leading down on the 42nd tier.

If they found their way out of the barrier and up the stairs they would find a base filled with Demon Worshipers. They would have a chance at winning but there was no chance they would all survive. This would make it seem like he had abandoned them later if some of them survived and saw him still alive after they had to fight their way to the surface.

Lake didn't think any of this would happen until they ran out of food though because there wasn't a reason for them to leave base until they ran out of food especially since he wasn't there anymore. They would think something had possibly killed him so it wasn't safe for them to go out.

Realizing someone was looking at him, Lake switched on Play The Part to blend in until he got a chance to split off from the people in this room. Feeling his body start to move on its own, Lake wondered what it would do and wasn't surprised when it started to talk. "What happened?"

The last thing this identity remembered was going to sleep so he would be confused too if he woke up and found that he was surrounded by burning bodies. "We're under attack." One of the people close to him answered and Lake could tell he was about to start talking again because he could feel how confused his identity was.

"Under attack by what?" Lake wished he could control what the identity did more because it was weird he didn't know since he had gone through it as well. "It looked like an arrow to me." Someone else answered this time and Lake realized since the arrow had been hard to see he wasn't the only one who didn't know what it was.

"How is an arrow hitting us?" This question didn't get an answer but it did make Lake realize he was going to be here for a while. None of these people wanted to move and no one had gone for the door yet. He guessed they thought a room the arrow had already hit was the safest place for them to be because a lot of the people here had arrived after the first time and knew about it hitting other parts of the fortress so in their mind if they left they might walk into another attack.
