Chapter 5 Run Run Run

Two guards at the fifth level of the Dawn tier grade, this was certainly not good for them.

"What are you two doing in this area, and why are you with a slave".

The Guards arrived in front of both of them and stood surely. Lucas still with his head bent downwards slightly frowned, these idiots actually had to show up now.

"Am bringing this Slave on the orders of the Warden, as for why? I have no idea".

Although Zander had an indifferent expression, he was actually sweating buckets on the inside, he feared that they would be able to see through him.

Both guards stood like two imposing mountains. From they way they walked, it was as if they owned the place, one was tall and burly while the other was short with a bald head. His ugly face was twisted whenever he frowned and even more twisted it would be if someone imagined him smiling. However, the surprising thing was that the tall and burly guard was actually standing behind the short bald guy.

This was enough to show the senor between them and their status in the Slave Silo. After Zander spoke the short guard frowned slightly. "Not just anyone is able to go see the Warden, much less the warden taking the initiative to send someone to fetch him a slave. The people who can do that are very limited and I know because I happen to be one of them, however today is the first time I am seeing you".

The Short guards face became even more distorted as he starred at Zander as if he was trying to pry through his soul. "Dammit" Lucas's face turned grim, things were going far from the original plan. "Am a new guard here".

In an attempt to save the whole situation, the middle-aged Zander spoke out towards the two guards. "Hmm, I have been with the Warden the whole day, he never mentioned anything about wanting a slave, Moreover the chances of him asking a newbie to get him a slave is too outrageous, don't you think?"

Boom!

Zander broke out into a cold sweat, even Lucas who still had his head lowered silently pulled out the short sword behind him ready in case things went south. "Also I think I recognize you before". The short baldy narrowed his eyes while his face made a pondering expression. Then he raised his head to look straightforward and smirked.

"Aren't you one of the slaves that came in the day I was supposed to supervise?"

"Young master, Run!" Zander immediately shed all pretenses, he pushed Lucas behind him and thrust out with a Small blade in his hand. Being a bodyguard previously before his core point was destroyed, this guys would be far below him if he was at his prime. He thrust out the blade and shouted.

Die!!!!

However, what followed was a cold snort as the short baldy stretched out his arm, subsequently catching the blade with his left hand. The blade didn't even leave a scratch and was broken in two. With a flick of his wrist, Zander was sent flying and he crashed against the wall.

"Haha, a regular person actually dares to be presumptuous before me, a fifth level dawn tier grade at the Slave Silo. Although I don't know how you managed to escape from the monitoring guard, you will most likely die here today".

As he spoke, a murderous intent skyrocketed from his body as he casually made his way to the heavily injured Zander who was no different from dead meat in his eyes. He completely ignored Lucas would was still sitting on his butt on the dirty floor.

Before he walked up to Zander, a cold light flashed out from his eyes as he raised his hand and corrected energy traveled to his palms. "You said that I would die earlier, now I think its time for you to do the same".

"Don't you dare touch him". However his mind was completely distracted as the air in front of him condensed and a dark golden haired silhouette appeared before his eyes, the male that looked like a slave gave the bald guard an ominous feeling as he looked at its lifeless eyes.

"A Spatial Skill, then that means you are a Soul lining grade martial artist". However a cold snort erupted in his ears behind him.

"Wrong!!" At that moment, he felt pain erupt on his legs. Lucas had precisely made his move as he used his newly acquired skill to serve as a distraction. He drew out the short sword and slashed downwards at the back of the kneecap. The bald guard immediately grunge in pain, whereby lucas followed up by kicking that same leg that blood was bursting forth from the back of the kneecap.

The bald guard immediately went on both knees and his eyes were filled with fear. He immediately took out his saber that was in his sheath and slashed behind him. However his appointment was no longer there as if he had already predicted his next movements. A sharp gleam shot out from the short sword and it stabbed into the center of the bald man's back.

"Ahhhhhh, My spine!!!!!" The bald man shouted and was extremely furious. However lucas continued to move, his earlier movements were done beforehand to deliver the final attack. As the former ARK 1 of earth, even though his opponents strength far surpassed him, he could still kill him as long as he could sneak attack him and perform his skills swiftly.

He had long predicted the bald man's movements and dodged before he could make the saber strike and dug his sword into the man's spine, instantly shattering the spinal cord. However he didn't stop and the next strike went directly for the head as it pierced into the bald man's skull.

Silence prevailed as the bald man directly fell to the floor without any signs of life. Lucas turned his gaze around to sweep the other level five slave guard who was dumbfounded to the extent he couldn't even react in time to aid his companion.

He immediately turned around and ran as there was visible signs of dread in his eyes. However, Lucas would not allow this man to flee and bring even more trouble to himself.

.He drew back his arm and with accumulated force, threw the short sword at the escaping guard with precise accuracy. The sword pierce through the guards skull and he fell and died afterwards.

Lucas breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. He wasn't just relieved that he had stopped the guard from sounding the alarm, he was also relieved that the guard had chosen for flee instead of staying and fighting.

In Lucas's eyes, he had dread within for the very first time in a while. If that guard had stood his ground, Lucas would be completely turned to minced meat. It was because the guard had fled that he could kill him easily with his superior marksmanship.

Ding Dong Ding Dong.

"Shit, its the warning bells, I just had to jinx it. Someone must have found the guards dead body ahead of time". Lucas said out loud as the warning bells which indicated that someone was trying to make a jailbreak was sounding loudly.

Without wasting even a breath of time, Lucas picked Zander up who was leaning on him for support and walked quickly through the hall. They arrived in front of the kitchens doors in a minute.

Unlike other places in the Slave Silo, the kitchens were unguarded as only the cooks entered and exited those places. It was currently close to midnight so nobody was inside. Seeing that they were short on time, Lucas immediately took out the iron wire to pry open the door lock. He then carried Zander inside and closed the door.

"Young master, escape without me, I can hold them off for a little...."

"Do me a favor and shut up OK, I can do a lot of things, but leaving behind a comrade is not one of them". This was one of the rules Lucas lived by in his previous life. Anyone who was loyal to him, how would never forsake. Even though he wasn't the Lucas that Zander's knew, he was still moved by this man's unyielding loyalty.

"Y-young master..... I...." Lucas didn't pay him much attention, right now, Zander was wounded and they were being sought after. It wouldn't be long before they were found in the kitchens if they didn't move quickly.

He soon arrived at the trash chute and helped Zander to walk near it. "Young master, we are we going down there?"

"Yep". With a single sentence, Lucas pushed him down the trash chute sending him sliding downwards. Immediately, he followed down the chute and started sliding downwards at fast speeds. The whole journey didn't take long as they landed into a small body of water that gave off a putrid smell which could make one throw up.

"We are in the sewers". The slow current pushed them forward and they were moved along with the pieces of rubbish and human waste around them. Throughout, Lucas swam close to Zander and supported him seeing that he couldn't swim properly as he was badly injured. Soon the currents started picking up speed as they rapidly moved through the dense network of underground tunnels.

Throughout the time, both of them tried as much as possible to stay conscious despite the fact that they couldn't see and the putrid water was constantly trying to submerge them. After a long time of being moved with the current, they both finally saw light at the end of the tunnel as the water slowed down.

It turns out that the Slave Silos tunnel led to an small stream that was polluted. However, at this moment, both of them were glad to see something other than darkness. They both climbed out of the stream and laid flat on their backs as they starred into the night sky.

"We... We made it, we are free!!", Zander's eyes gleamed and he has a bitter smile on his face, Lucas however laid there exhausted as multiple thoughts flashed through his head.

"Judging by the currents and how long we traveled, we should be about half a kilometer away from the Slave Silo. They have probably found out that we escaped through the kitchen trash chute".

"If we want to throw them off our tail, we need to run, run as far away as possible. Who knows if they will send their own men down the chute and they could appear before us through the same way we came soon".

Contrary to Zander's happy expression, Lucas was more collected and not the slightest bit positive. He immediately got up without the smell of waste on his body bothering him in the slightest. In his past life, he had gone through worse situations than this.

The smell was normal to him, and even though it bothered Zander, he didn't make a fuss about it. However, before the latter could take his first step.

Barf!

He immediately held his stomach and puked blood. His legs trembled before involuntarily falling on his knees. Lucas expression was not good after witnessing this scene.

He looked into the distant woods and then turned to look at the kneeling Zander who was still coughing up blood as if he was making a decision whether to abandon him or not. In fact that was exactly what he was doing, however he didn't leave and immediately started to ponder the memories of the Fallen angel to see what he could do about this.

Zander's organs were almost ruptured when he received the strike of that level 5 guard back at the slave silo. Not only did that strike contain five times the power of a regular human being, lucas could tell that the strike behind it had a low level martial skill.

If he didn't do something, there was no way that Zander would be able to move without incurring further damage to himself. He would most likely die.

After combing through memory after memory, Lucas finally found something odd. As it turns out, apart from herbs and medicinal potions and pills, the only other thing that he could find to help Zander was Mythic blood.

Mythic blood was a kind of special blood only privy to special types of beasts and Mythical existences like angels, heavenly beasts and others. Such blood was very unique and special as creatures that possess it would have high healing and regeneration abilities.

The Fallen Angel Hallion was one of those special existences and he would quickly recuperate from any serious injury or wound he was given in battle.

"Perhaps the Mythic blood was passed to me through the Book of sovereigns, after all my core point that was originally destroyed was fully restored because if the book of sovereigns".

Thinking about it, Lucas took out a sharp stone and sliced his own palm. Seconds later, the bleeding stopped and the wound disappeared as if it was never there.

"This, I possess Mythic blood!".

Although he had already guessed it, his breathing couldn't help but quicken after witnessing it himself. This type of blood would enable him to quickly heal after a severe injury and save his life in several occasions.

Soon after coming to his realization, the turned to Zander and said. "Old man Zander, do you trust me?"

Huh.

Zander was a little stunned and displeased at the same time. He was stunned because lucas asked such a question and he was displeased because Lucas called him old man Zander even though he was a middle aged man. However, his appearance was very ordinary compared to his young master now who was actually handsome.

"Wait, when did young master become more handsome. He looks slightly different from before".

Little did Lucas know that the Page of sovereigns was slowly changing his appearance. After all, he now had Mythic blood flowing through his veins that originally belonged to an Angel. Before, Lucas could be considered to be a little above average when it came to good looks. Just good enough to not be ordinary.

However know he looked genuinely handsome, although he still couldn't compare to some major pretty boys. Zander who was in a daze slightly shook his head and answered, "I trust young master completely".

"Then close your eyes and open your mouth. Don't peek no matter what and whatever I give you, swallow it completely, do you understand?"

Gulp! Zander found it slightly strange but he still nodded and did as he was told. Lucas proceeded to cut his palm and allowed the blood to drop into Zander mouth. Zander shuddered but still obediently swallowed every last drop. Soon the wound on Lucas's palm healer and Zander opened his eyes.

"Uhm, wait a... Oh heavens". Just as he felt like he was about to throw up, get suddenly felt his body burn from the insides as if he has been enveloped in fire. However, there was no pain and it was actually kinda refreshing, like a small part of him had undergone rebirth.

Soon he realized that his internal injuries were healing at an incredible fast rate. He even felt something else that he hadn't felt in a long time was starting to tingle. "My, My core point, its actually rebuilding itself". Zander could not help but exclaim in shock.

Lucas who was standing there was shocked as well. According to the Fallen Angel Hallions memories, his blood possessed potent recovery abilities but he didn't know that it could cure a Core point. "Perhaps he never used it on people with broke core points" lucas thought to himself.

However his thoughts were bound to be interrupted.

Growl!!!!!!!!!

A loud growl came out from the far edge opposite them and a ugly hyena that was twice the size of a normal hyena back on earth with large spikes on its back appeared before their eyes. Despite the fact that it was a distance away, Lucas could still feel the aura it gave out.

"Level 4 Beast Hyena". Lucas's face turned grave as he turned to look at

Zander who had also noticed the danger in the distance. However he could only spit out four words before dashing deep into the forest. "Split up and Run!!!!!!!".
