Chapter 362: Stashed Away Pt.3

After Lake's attempt to start a conversation failed, he and the others had just stood next to the bed's massive leg while they waited for Hampton to come back or say something down from up top. Enough time passed this way for him to get curious enough to use Detector to look for Hampton to see if he was still fine on the top of the bed.

Seeing a small man start to glow above them he watched for a few seconds to make sure the man was moving before looking away. "He's still fine." Lake felt like the others would want to know this so he went ahead and shared the information with them even though he was sure none of them would say anything back.

After another ten minutes passed they finally saw Hampton lowering himself back down to the group. "Alright we can go now." Lake was decently happy to hear this since Hampton didn't seem like he was going to let him do anything while here in this place but the others didn't seem ready to go and quickly asked a question each.

"Did you figure out where the Phantoms are coming from?"

"What's up there, is there actually a body?"

"Will we have the chance to go through the stuff we passed on the way here?"

...

Donny understood why the other two asked what they asked but he really thought they were shooting for the stars here while the stuff they passed was much more likely to fall into their hands. There was really no way Hampton would ever confirm if there was anything up there or not so it was best if they just moved on. The source of this content is N0veII_bIn

"I won't be letting anything, knowledge or material goods leave this place with any of you. Now get moving please, we have a long journey out to the surface." This was a heavy blow and Donny was sure the guard would attack after this but remembered what their original goal was to get food and go back not steal treasure that belonged to the Earth Domain.

...

Lake wasn't sure why Hampton had whispered this question but it didn't really matter since it gave him an idea of something he should enter into Detector. After he had set Detector he watched as the very air around them started to glow and while it took him a few seconds to figure it out he eventually said. "It's the mana level."

He hadn't been the only one to notice the extreme level of mana here in this place so after he said this it only took a few seconds for Hampton to put the rest together and say. "It's the formation I set at the door to get rid of the phantoms. It's probably causing some disruption in the balance of mana that's present. Hurry, I must dispel it now before any more quakes happen."

After he said this Hampton tried to move towards the door but stopped because no one else moved. It was obvious they all planned to take advantage of the fact Hampton had to go all the way back to the door to get rid of his formation and have a look at what was on top of the bed.

...

At this point Donny just wanted the tension to go away but he wouldn't abandon the guard if he really thought this was a good idea by walking out of the room with Hampton. That left him stuck here in this terrible silence as they all tried to read each other's faces. After a few seconds of this stand off the guard finally spoke up. "Just let us get a brief look."

This was obviously the last thing that would be said if Hampton said no and it seemed the older man knew this because it took him a long time to react.

Sadly the response they got was what seemed to be the beginning of an attack as Hamptons hands started to glow a light blue. With the fight started Donny instantly threw his shield in front of him and rushed towards the younger mage.

...

Lake wasn't particularly surprised when Donny ran at him even after he had tried to make it clear he would be on their side if a fight broke out but he saw a real problem with letting this continue now that they knew how unstable the mana in the air was. Dodging the shield charge from Donny Lake said. "Hampton, you really shouldn't use your magic here."

It was obvious Hampton was about to use the same type of magic that he had used to disperse the phantoms which was most likely going to cause another quake. He didn't know why this was happening but he would put his money on some of the mana in the air was what was causing the phantoms in the first place since there was such a violent reaction to the magic Hampton used on the phantoms.

"You're right. I'll just use Water." After he said this, Lake watched as the blue coming from Hamptons hands turned darker until it looked like the same color as the ocean. He had been hoping to stop the fight with his words but truly he was fine with the fight as long as he survived it.
