Chapter 275: 118. Mysterious Linkage_5

Translator: 549690339

Whoever can control the Sage’s Lock can then control the stereo array of the Sage’s Space, manipulating the Sage’s Space as if pulling the strings of a marionette. At that point, whether to fold up the Sage Space and transform it into Sage Particles to take away, or to remodel this space, is entirely up to the will of the controller.

Noland Lee’s original plan did not involve delving deep into the Demon Rat Nest.

He had manipulated Undead Gustav to enter the Underground Layer 10 of Sector 8, to open the doors of several other corridors, allowing the aberrations to enter Sector 8, lured by the scent of living humans.

Once the situation on the scene became chaotic and enough corpses were available, Noland would have Gustav implant the “Pure Bone Cards” into the corpses. Noland would cast the “Enslavement of Deceased” technique on these corpse carriers from afar, controlling them to surround the isolated Hickman Arlington and wait for the opportune moment to activate the “Evil Explosion” and kill him instantly.

As long as they could ensure that there were no witnesses, this would be a safer course of action.

There was just one downside…

When the “Evil Explosion” is triggered, Noland must maintain the “Enslavement of Deceased” technique. He would bear the excruciating pain of the explosion of the lost souls.

Noland had prepared an alchemy potion for pain relief for this reason.

Now, it may be necessary to alter this plan.

Because Noland found the alchemy bombs set up by the Blackbone Hermit. They were near the entrance of the nest.

In the first layer of the Demon Rat Nest, a herd of hand-sized demon rats gathered around Gustav, thick as thieves and chirping incessantly, resembling starving piranhas waiting for their meal.

The incisors of these demon rats were as wide as a palm. They hovered around Gustav, both greedy for the chunks of flesh on him, yet afraid of the scent of the alchemy potion he exudes.

The alchemy bomb was right above Gustav’s head, within arm’s reach.

They were in the southeastern corner of the first layer of the Demon Rat Nest, corresponding to the Underground Layer 11 of Sector 8.

They were hooked onto the ceiling of the nest and connected by several threads to the floor of Underground Layer 10 of Sector 8.

The floor connected to the bomb had been modified by the Blackbone Hermit to become a pressure step board that would trigger the threads with a single step.

Once the team from Elemental Judgment came from the Staircase of Underground Layer 9 to Layer 10, stepping on the pressure step board would trigger the bomb.

They would fall into the Demon Rat Nest, dropping into the trap space directly below.

In just 0.1 seconds, the trap space that was originally filled with mud would be filled with high voltage lightning, deadly toxic fumes, and metal spikes.

The trap space was designed to deal with high-grade alchemists and powerful aberrations. Its immense power was more than enough to instantly kill the team from Elemental Judgement.

Those four alchemy bombs controlled by the pressure step board were no ordinary items.

They were categorized as controlled items by the Alchemy Cathedral.

Although each one was only as large as a fist, its power was comparable to 50 kilos of high explosives.

Once ignited, they would unleash a tsunami-like shockwave and a massive amount of sharp fragments.

This explosion could not only destroy the ceiling of the first layer of the rat nest but could also penetrate the floor of the first layer, exposing the trap space in the second layer.

Noland manipulated Gustav to cut the four threads, removing the four bombs from the hooks.

In this way, the pressure step board could no longer pull the threads and pull out the safety pin of the alchemy bomb.

Even if the Meow Meows from the Elemental Judgment danced on the pressure step board, it wouldn’t trigger the bomb.

Noland manipulated Gustav, carrying the alchemy bomb, to return to the temporary camp at the crossroads of the corridor.

Undead Gustav waited behind in the corner of the wall, monitoring the situation inside the temporary camp.

Having confirmed that no one extra had appeared in the camp, Noland pushed open the Metal Gate and silently sneaked close to the camp.

The alchemy slave lingering near the alchemy platform had just downed the last gulp of wheat beer when he died from a silent crossbow shot.

Noland disposed of the corpse, erased the scent of blood, and used the “Enslavement of Deceased” technique to turn it into his own undead.

He took all the Bone Cards from Gustav, and carefully lifted the alchemy bomb from Gustav’s arms.

He attached the alchemy bomb to Gustav’s body, and tied the safety pin of the bomb to Gustav’s finger with a thread.

Thus, a suicide bomber undead made its debut.

Noland quickly erased his own traces and hid back in the Underground Layer 10 of Sector 7.

He manipulated the undead Gustav, who was carrying the alchemy bomb, to head towards the pressure step board’s location. Another alchemy slave undead followed behind Gustav.

Noland tried to soften the steps of the two undead to avoid making any noise.

In no time, several stealthy figures appeared in Gustav’s vision.

A Blackbone Hermit named Coudaman, along with several alchemy slaves whose combat capabilities had been enhanced, guarded the corridor in front.

About 50 meters in front of them was the pressure step board.

Further ahead was a staircase leading from Underground Layer 9 to Layer 10.

The Blackbone Hermit and his team had prematurely destroyed the other staircases and left only this one.

The team from Elemental Judgment could only enter the Underground Layer 10 from this staircase.

Alternatively, they would have to do as the Blackbone Hermit did—blast a hole in the floor of Underground Layer 9, entering Underground Layer 10 from an unexpected location rather than taking the usual path.

“Boom-”

Noland Lee’s eyes suddenly shot open, a puzzled expression on his face.

He was one hundred percent sure he had heard an explosion.

The slight vibration of the floor beneath his feet confirmed that an explosion had indeed occurred.

No way, right? The Meow Meows from Elemental Judgement, could they really have blasted the floor of Underground Layer 9?
