Mage Veigar

Chapter 111 Escape
In Vega's opinion.

As long as Nightingale dies, the remaining professionals are basically wild monsters that give him experience.

Because the purpose of sending professionals up here was to find his trace, delay his steps, and then let Nightingale rush to the scene and kill him. Therefore, once Nightingale, the real protagonist, died, there was no one for him to worry about on the entire 7th floor.

"Master Nightingale?"

One of the professionals had just stepped into the door frame when he saw Nightingale's body.

"Captain, be careful!"

Before he could take a step forward, his teammates behind him shouted to be careful, because a black figure had stood behind him at some point, and was rushing down with a dagger in his hand.

flutter.

He didn't even have a chance to dodge before his head and body were separated.

The professional who died was surprisingly the only level 5 trainee professional in the team.

"Squad leader?"

The teammate closest to him was terrified. He picked up his sword and swung it at the shadow: "Monster, die!"

boom!
The strong wind was blowing, and the blow directly shattered the shadow.

He breathed a sigh of relief when the shadow disappeared into the air.

But a few seconds later, the shattered shadow appeared behind him again, and without him noticing, it took the professional's life with a single blow.

"Run, everyone, run."

A professional who came from behind and witnessed everything roared at his teammates, then rushed to the exit of the seventh floor. He had recalled the precautions mentioned by Nightingale: "Never think about killing the shadow. All you have to do is delay the opponent's steps and protect yourself."

Yes.

How could they possibly be a match for a shadow mage.

It was ridiculous that they actually forgot Nightingale's instructions and tried to defeat an unkillable monster with human power.

almost.

He had already seen the exit to the seventh floor.

Just fifteen more seconds and he would be out of this damn place.

He is just a small professional, how can he be a match for a magician? If he wants to fight a monster like War, of course he should let the magician team of the headquarters take action. Damn it.

15 seconds flies by.

The professional let out a long sigh. As long as he stepped out of this door, he would be able to survive.

"Luckily I reacted in time."

As the first team member to sound the alarm and escape immediately, when he was sure that he was about to leave the 7th floor safely, he took the opportunity to turn his head to see how many teammates had followed him.

But he saw no sign of his teammates.

Because there was pitch black in front of his eyes, the black was deep and boundless. Seeing this, he already knew completely that his life would sink forever in this boundless darkness and he would never be able to grasp a ray of light again.

flutter.

The pitch-black dagger pierced through his body.

This professional has fallen to the ground, and all breath of life has disappeared.

After confirming that there was no life on the 7th floor, Vega removed the shadow spell and revealed his true form. He first proudly shook the spell medium he had plundered from Nightingale, then looked at the corpses scattered in the corridor and began to count them.

1, 2, 3...9?

After counting, Vega frowned. He found that only nine professionals and Nightingale were killed.

But he clearly remembered that there were ten professionals on the seventh floor.

Killing 10 professionals would give him a high chance of being promoted to a level 2 magician, which made Vega unwilling to accept. He searched the seventh floor again, but still found no trace of the tenth person.

"Did someone escape?"

Vega suddenly recalled that Nightingale had issued a call for help at the entrance to the seventh floor. Did that mean that one of them had sent a distress signal to the bottom floor?

Rolling his eyes.

Vega suddenly realized that his chance to escape from the headquarters had come.

Nightingale was not dead when he sent out the distress signal, and when Bruno received the distress signal, he must have thought that Nightingale had confirmed that he was on the seventh floor and had entangled him, so he boldly mobilized the team of mages guarding the entrances and exits to come up for support.

In other words.

The blockade of the entrances and exits of the General Administration of Law Enforcement will now inevitably be extremely empty.

But Vega did not rush downstairs.

Because in the final analysis this is just his guess, but this does not prevent him from making the situation even more chaotic so that he can take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

So he walked towards Bruno's office on the 7th floor.

boom.

Kicked the door open.

Vega found that the place was deserted and the piles of documents on the table had also been moved away. It was probably because the transfer work had been carried out simultaneously when the search plan began.

Vega began to circle the room.

He wanted to see if the other party had missed anything during the transfer. After all, this was the headquarters of the Kingdom's spy organization. Even if a piece of information was missed, it could become an important bargaining chip.

Rummage through boxes and cabinets.

Vega finally found out helplessly that the whole room was so clean that there was not even a scrap of paper, let alone important information. This made him extremely dejected. The enemy's transfer work was obviously done very well.

He sat in Bruno's large office chair. Then he found a comfortable position and began to scan the entire office, while thinking that if he took this great opportunity to escape from the Law Enforcement Bureau, the recording evidence on him alone would be enough to prove Bruno's treason.

As a bargaining chip.

It probably wouldn't be a big problem for the military to save his life or even promote him.

To put it bluntly, in a place like the military, as long as your influence is important enough to them, any request you want is not a problem.

between thoughts.

Vega discovered that although Bruno had transferred all the information, the various types of red wine on the shelf were the only ones that had not been moved. He stood up from this not very comfortable chair and walked towards the shelf.

"Romanee, Petrus, Ausone..."

Vega casually opened a bottle of red wine, and the charming aroma of the wine made his nose move.

Even someone like Vega who didn't know much about the wines from another world knew that they were priceless. Unfortunately, these famous wines were not portable spellcasting media, so he couldn't take them away and exchange them for money.

Took a slight taste.

Vega found that the taste of red wine was intoxicating even for a layman like him, but he did not continue tasting it because now was not the time to drink. Getting drunk here would not be a fun thing.

It seems that Bruno is indeed a wine lover.

Vega sighed like this, and at the same time a strange thought appeared in his mind. What would happen if a wine lover lost his beloved thing? Would he go crazy?
Vega's mouth curled up slightly, and he was ready to do an experiment.

Vega picked up a few bottles of exquisitely packaged red wine and threw them directly out of the window.

Then he picked up a kerosene lamp from the wall and started playing with fire.

Bang bang bang.

The explosion sounds of red wine falling on the first floor scared Bruno Valen who was listening to his men's report on the latest situation.

"Protect the Director."

The team of mages beside him quickly protected Bruno, but there was no subsequent sound.

After a few seconds.

Seeing that there was no danger, Bruno pushed aside a few mages and looked in the direction of the source of the sound.

This sight almost made him go crazy.

He would recognize the broken wine bottle even if it turned into ashes. The red wine that he had collected with great difficulty and had been reluctant to drink had turned into this state. He was so heartbroken that he almost cried.

He turned around and shouted at the professional who was making the report: "Didn't you say that Nightingale had already found 007's trail and had entangled him, and was just waiting for us to go up and destroy him in one fell swoop? What's going on here!"

"perhaps……"

The professional who asked for help said tremblingly: "It may be because of the lack of manpower. The professional team and Lord Nightingale failed to entangle the enemy, and the enemy escaped again..."

"Humph."

Bruno calmed down a bit, then said to his assistant, "Now that we have found 007's trail, we need to select a few mages from the Blockade Bureau's mage team, and then take the remaining professionals with us to kill this damn rat for me."

The words just fell.

Bruno discovered that his office was suddenly on fire.

"asshole!"

Bruno's mood, which had calmed down, was completely boiling again because of the sudden fire.

That room contained all the red wine he had collected for most of his life. Those were his lifeblood.

Bruno immediately roared: "All the magicians, move out! I will crush him to ashes!"

"Chief, please wait a moment."

The assistant quickly persuaded Bruno: "I suggest that we issue a rally signal and mobilize the mage teams and professional teams on duty outside to go back to the headquarters before going up to the seventh floor. Otherwise, the entrance and exit of the headquarters will be empty..."

"assistant!"

Bruno grabbed his collar and said, "By the time those useless bastards come back, our headquarters will have been burned to ashes! This 007 dared to set the fire, which is equivalent to exposing his location on the seventh floor. If Nightingale and those pigs can still lose 007, I will definitely cut off their heads with my own hands."

"Yes Yes."

The assistant didn't dare to speak, so the mage team and the law enforcement team led by professionals all rushed to the seventh floor. Some of them were targeting Veigar, while the task of others was to put out the fire. The entire headquarters, from the mages to the law enforcement team members, were all busy and it was a complete mess.

Then no one noticed.

In the chaos, a thin and short guy wearing a law enforcement uniform that didn't fit him well was carrying two empty buckets and walking downstairs in broad daylight.

No one even looked at this guy during this time.

Since there are so many people in the law enforcement team, it is normal to have one or two short people.

And dozens of minutes later.

Bruno just came down from the seventh floor and re-issued the order to block the entrances and exits of the General Administration. He also issued an assembly signal, mobilizing the mage team and professional brigade on duty outside to return to defend urgently.

But until dawn.

They searched the headquarters inside and out, but could not find any trace of Vega.

Bruno finally realized that he had made a fatal mistake.

That was because he trusted Nightingale's ability too much and underestimated Vega's strength. If he had issued the assembly order at the beginning, even a flea would have been found.

But it's not Bruno's fault for being careless.

After all, no one expected that a level 1 Shadow Mage and dozens of professional team members not only failed to hold back a level Shadow Mage for dozens of minutes, but were also killed by the opponent in a desperate counterattack.
