Chapter 268 Case Solved, Reaping Benefits
"So, breaking this wall will create an entry into their hideout?" One of the powerhouses asked as the group reached the end of the tunnel.
"Correct. But we don't want to make any commotion that will warn them of our arrival," Arkhen said as he put his hand on the wall. 'Velshi, create a clean hole, without making any sound.'
Soon, everyone saw a hole forming in the wall and saw a small room with tubes filled with various beasts. The room had metal tiles and a ceiling with various biotech-looking things.
"How are you doing that without any aura and not even a hint of energy?" Sasha's father asked curiously as he looked at Arkhen.
"Secret. Now let's go," Arkhen said as he created an arrow again and also asked Velshi about Sasha's exact location.
[2 reality motes deducted].
[Sasha is in the room right beside this one. Break that left wall to enter that room. Also, there's only one powerful aura present in this hideout. That aura is in the same room as Sasha].
Arkhen quickly relayed the information to the group.
…
The devil named Krablos was watching Sasha going through a transformation with a glint in his eyes. 'Frezya Empire, I will unleash complete abomination upon you when it is finished, hahaha. You dared to transfuse my ancient devil ancestor's bloodline in you and even created such a large empire. Since you took something, it's time to pay for it.'
*Boom!*
"Who?!" Krablos shouted as he stood up and saw the wall of the chamber blasting with several powerful auras entering the room.
"NOO!"
Sasha's father's shouted as his eyes turned red upon seeing the first tube!
Sasha was not resembling a human anymore! Instead, she had horns, her face had turned ugly, and her back's left part was also protruding with deformed muscles. Overall, she had become three meters tall abomination with her clothes still covering her because of the stretching property contained in all clothes here.
Her hairs were a bit rotten, and the left part of her head had no hairs at all.
*puchi…*
All powerhouses attacked Krablos. Especially Sasha's father and uncle, who were extremely furious.
In just two seconds, Krablos was half-dead kneeling on the ground, with the top left from his shoulder to stomach missing as blood oozed out continuously.
However, one of the powerhouses kept Krablos alive and started healing him.
"Revert my daughter to her normal self! NOW!" Sasha's father shouted with red eyes.
"Hahaha *Puchi*… Hahahaha, that's impossible! She is only a mindless monster now! A devil monster! Hahaha."
*Bam!*
Sasha's uncle smacked Krablos's head, smacking him into the ground.
"Even if you torture me or threaten to kill me, that Sasha girl is not returning to being a normal dark elf, hahaha! Unfortunately, I couldn't make her into the perfect devil monster and unleash her on your empire!"
"This is unpleasant," Arkhen's expression turned deadpan as he pointed his hand at Krablos and cut him into pieces by conjuring a sharp fan-shaped blade.
"This can't be happening… My daughter," Sasha's father shakily walked in front of the tube before his knees gave in.
Although general importance was given to Sasha's elder sister because of her talent and the purity of her bloodline. But Sasha was also his daughter, she was just as important as her elder sister to him!
"Arkhen, can you save her?" Sierra asked as she turned to Arkhen.
'Velshi, how many reality motes to revert her to normal?'
[5000 reality motes, and 340 reality essence].
'Alright. That's not too high. I was expecting more.'
[Fortunately, the transformation hasn't truly been fixed yet, and the process is ongoing. That's why it's easier and less costly].
'Nice.'
Arkhen walked beside Sasha's father and patted his shoulder before saying, "I can revert her to normal."
Sasha's father trembled as he looked up at Arkhen. Without a shred of hesitation, he said, "Whatever the price is, as long as it's within my reach, I will pay it."
"I'll think about the price later. For now, I need to hurry and save her. Otherwise, it will be too late," Arkhen said as he waved his hand and broke the glass tube before putting Sasha in a primal energy bubble.
'Velshi, do it.'
Everyone saw a deformed Sasha glowing with musical golden light as she started reverting to normal.
Her deformities disappeared, her hair turned normal, and her face became beautiful like before.
Sasha returned to normal after ten seconds, back to her beautiful appearance with red lipstick and wearing a new gorgeous dress with a furry 360 cape around her shoulder, and a winter fur hat.
"Sasha…" Sasha's father shed two tears before they quickly vanished as he turned to Arkhen and thanked him profusely.
Sasha's uncle was the same.
Soon, Sasha opened her confusion-filled eyes. However, those eyes were starting to fill with fury as she remembered the event that transpired with her.
*Pop*
Arkhen popped his energy bubble as Sasha landed on the ground on her feet.
"Sup?" Arkhen said as he grinned.
"Sasha, who was it?" One of the powerhouses asked.
"That bastard Cedar! The kidnappings of the kingdom are also doings of his father and some other people!"
"He is dead," Arkhen said with a carefree smile before he turned to Sasha's father, "Now for my price. I want high-grade essence stones, any type. Just give the amount you are comfortable with."
"Alright. We will send them to you. For now, let us hurry back to the academy," Sasha's father said as he nodded at Arkhen and continued, "If you need any help, then don't hesitate to ask me."
"I might go on a killing spree later. Handle it for me when the time comes," Arkhen said with a smile
Sierra raised her eyebrows as she remembered Arkhen's actions on Earth and asked, "Do you mean that kind of killing spree?"
"What do you mean?" Sasha asked with confusion. The other powerhouses were also confused.
"Surely, there are dark organizations like this one, and other criminals who are annoying, right? I am going to start killing them after the competition," Arkhen said. 'I need to rack in reality motes.'
[Yes. Also, you should kill the 3rd guardian boss quickly and open the new function, Bloodline Temple].
'Alright.'
"If you want to kill those scums, then do it. There are many nobles behind them, and they will try to obstruct you, but as the head of the Empire's Knight Enforcement Order, I will simply overlook your actions," Sasha's father said as a cold glint passed through his eyes.
"That's great. I'll do that after winning the competition," Arkhen said with a grin.
Those five powerhouses were speechless at Arkhen's confidence, but they didn't take his words lightly after seeing Arkhen's capabilities.
Upboarding the ship, Sasha slightly bowed towards Arkhen in gratitude after knowing how everything happened after she was kidnapped.
"Thank you for saving me, Arkhen," Sasha said with a grateful expression. "If you were not present, I... My fate would've become worse than death," she said as her eyes showed the emotional upheaval she was feeling.
The other girls who were saved from the hideout also thanked Arkhen.
"To close this case, we also need to kill Cedar's father and others with him. Arkhen, if you can use that blue arrow to find their secret base in the Empire, then we will be grateful to you. I will also increase the number of essence stones by asking them from the Royal family because this issue has been bugging the empire for several months," Sasha's father said with a somber expression.
"Deal."
