“Huh? What’s going on?”
“How come the shackles on my hands are gone?”
“Them, look at their shackles!”
Everyone was once again stunned for a while, a few prisoners hadn’t even decided whether to resist, completely baffled when the prison guards were already scared out of their wits.
They were all staring with their eyes wide open, screaming for help due to the immense fear deep in their hearts.
“They’re going to escape! They’re rebelling! They’re going to kill us, attack now!”
The prison guards had no idea how the alchemical shackles had been destroyed or how the batons in their hands had vanished, they could only conclude that it was all the work of the Extraordinary prisoners!
So the prison guards hesitated no more and drew their flintlocks from their waists!
In that moment, the Extraordinary prisoners had no way out!
“Damn! Go all in!”“Let’s kill them together!”
“We move now!”
A few Rhea Extraordinary prisoners instantly knew their situation, and without hesitation, they launched an attack on the prison guards!
For a moment, gunfire rang out!
A few Extraordinaries continuously killed several prison guards and were hit by flintlock shots themselves, struggling to hold on.
The fear in people’s hearts reached its peak, and just then, as more and more shackles vanished, ordinary prisoners joined the fray!
“Kill them!”
“Escape!”
“Don’t let them get away, fire!”
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Soon, the prison guards’ killing also began to escalate, with both sides suffering deaths continuously, everything speeding toward the most insane outcome.
Must not laugh, not yet, can’t laugh here, if I laugh out loud I might draw attention!
Darren’s heart was filled with cold intent.
Underneath the Iron Mask was a face brimming with mockery and malice, a silent smile that would’ve been utterly terrifying if anyone had noticed, but no one did.
Darren hid in the dark corner, clearly sensing that Mr. Theo was providing him with a steady supply of Spiritual Power through his “household management” Extraordinary ability.
“Thank you, Mr. Theo.”
In fact, after almost every consumption of Spiritual Power, he had received long-distance replenishments from the old butler, making it quite apparent that they were aware of his captivity.
At these moments, Darren’s heart would fill with hope for the future, clearly knowing that the Fischer family thousands of miles away hadn’t given up on him!
I will definitely survive and return! I must see my father again! See Aunt Irene again!
The scene in the mining area was already chaotic, with heavy casualties; Darren had long since secretly destroyed the Cyart prisoners’ shackles as well.
“Great! Reinforcements have arrived!”
“Suppress those scoundrels!”
Soon the prison’s management joined the fray, and the guards, delirious with joy, saw a look of despair and fear surface in the prisoners’ eyes.
Most of those managers were Extraordinaries, and with their combined efforts, they quickly suppressed the majority of prisoners, with few being able to put up an effective resistance.
In the meantime, Darren had already stealthily left the minefield as a “Specter Body” and had reached the corner of the walls next to the three innermost prison cells.
In the entire prison, only those three cells’ occupants were exempt from labor since those imprisoned were powerful Transmutation Level Extraordinaries.
They held a much higher status than common prisoners because, even with alchemical shackles, they still possessed some level of Extraordinary power and had always been treated differently, never sent to do labor.
As for whether those three prisoners were Rhea People or Cyart, Darren hadn’t managed to gather precise information.
He knew very clearly, however, that the Extraordinary imprisoned in the middle cell might be at the Middle Rank Transmutation, and even with alchemical shackles, had the power of Transmutation Level, easily capable of disrupting the balance of the entire melee if released.
“If I release that guy, even if the prison activates the barrier, it might not be able to suppress him. But if he’s a Rhea person, then all of us Cyart people, including myself, would be in danger.”
So after pondering, Darren decided not to release the strongest of all the prisoners. He merely used his “Specter Body” to reach the corner of the wall and secretly broke the alchemical shackles of two low-level Transmutation prisoners.
“Who’s there!”
He fled at once, almost getting caught!
The perception of a Transmutation powerful expert was indeed entirely different! That was close! Hahaha!
“Good, good, wasn’t noticed, hahaha! So thrilling!”
The process was fraught with danger, yet Darren felt a profound sense of self-satisfaction, eagerly anticipating the ensuing drama!
“Nobody move! Move and you die! Don’t move! Count the numbers!”
The prison’s barrier had been activated, identifying all Extraordinaries who hadn’t contributed blood to the Array, suppressing their powers.
Thus, the chaotic bloodshed outside finally came to an end, marking the first phase. The ground was a mess, littered with bodies, the prison management standing tensely atop the blood-soaked soil.
Having just suppressed the prisoners, they too suffered severe casualties; the sheer number of inmates, many of whom were driven mad, and the events of recent days had gradually robbed people of their sanity.
“Finally, it’s over,” the Warden breathed a sigh of relief and immediately declared, “The prison director will arrive soon!”
“Swoosh!”
Suddenly, the crowd was assaulted by numerous icicles, an unheralded strike that wounded many among both the prison guards and prisoners.
