Chapter 241: More Digging

Seeing the texture of the stone change Lake was pretty sure he had made it far enough away from the city that this was natural ground opposed to the stone that had clearly been made by whoever was building the city. He was guessing this area had been mines at some point and once they had started to build it into an area for people to live they had come though and filled it in with stone so there wouldn't be open tunnels surrounding the city.

He wasn't sure if this natural stone would really make a difference in the speed he could dig though so it didn't really matter until he started to hit dirt or any kind of loose material. Once that happened he wasn't sure if it would make it easier for him or harder though. He had never dug a tunnel in his last life so all he knew was cave-ins were usually bad.

He was ready to take a break though so he put his sword onto his back and flew to the 10th tier because they had a room ready for him and it was always safer to have other people around that you could trust when you slept. He was getting more and more paranoid about sleeping but it didn't really matter anymore with the fact he only had to sleep for 10 minutes a day.

It was almost like going to the bathroom at this point, it took so little time that it didn't even matter. He was also pretty sure he could push himself to not sleep for a few days if he wanted to and not have any side effects but he was working too hard at the moment for that to be true. He actually liked sleeping as well or at least he had grown to like it while he was under house arrest in his last life.

He wasn't trapped inside of his house anymore so it didn't really matter to him that much that he was going to lose the ability to sleep soon since he could always find something to do now that he was free. Landing in front of the base, Lake waved at the guards and walked in. He quickly found Wezz and said. "I'm about to sleep. Do you need me to do anything when I get up?"

"It's hard to turn down an offer like that. We need more weapons, with everyone back up on their feet we don't have enough any more and we're having a hard time getting any that aren't damaged in some way off the bodies." Lake had seen their store room when he had chosen the sword he was using to dig so he knew they only had about thirty weapons lying around before everyone had been healed.

Not all of them had been in the best condition either though so he asked. "How many?" Wezz thought about it for a second and said. "I'll give you a list of what we need when you get up." Hearing this Lake knew they had a problem because there was no way they would think he would only sleep for a few minutes.

"Try to have it ready as fast as possible. I don't sleep for very long." It was fine if they didn't have it for him as soon as he woke up because he would need to take a few trips to carry that many weapons back and whatever he brought back before he got the list would still work. "Alright I'll start asking."

Lake nodded and started towards the room he had been given the first time he had come back to check on them. Going to take his armor off he remembered he wasn't wearing the old suit anymore and moved his hand to where the strap was now. Sliding his chest piece off and kicking his boots into the corner he sat down and wrestled the gloves off of his hands.

Laying down he realized he still had his helmet on and took it off before his head hit the pillow. Closing his eyes to fall asleep, Lake started to think about his tunnel and wondered if he was getting close. He wasn't digging straight up so he couldn't measure how close he was by timing the flight against how long it took him to fly up the elevator shaft unless he remembered how to do math all of a sudden so he would just have to guess.

He had started the tunnel slightly above the 10th tier and the surface started at the 8th so unless he was accidentally digging up into one of the mountains that surrounded the city he should hit the surface after a few more hours of digging. It was nice to think you were almost done but it was hard to not be sure.

...

Hearing the door open Tiff stopped digging through the food she had kind of eaten and looked to see if it was the two that had run off to look for 'their friend' like she had done every time someone had entered for the last hour. Thankfully it was them this time and she could finally hear what they would have to tell them.

She had grown extremely impatient after about twenty minutes of sitting here and it had only gotten worse after their food got here because Dawn hadn't liked it. Tiff hadn't thought it was very good either but some of the things Dawn had said made her not want to eat it. After the two men sat down, the one who had spoken before they left started to talk again.

"We didn't see them. That might be bad news or good news depending on how you look at it."

"I'll go with bad news just to be safe. Would one of you like to come with us to the temple to keep an eye on us in case anything does end up happening, you can take these two and deliver them to safety for me."

"I'll go." This time the quiet man spoke up. "I don't need to be here for our job to still be possible."

"Alright let's go then. Waiting just gives them more time." Standing as the Temple Head did Tiff gave the man who was staying here one last look before following the three that were going out. As soon as they were outside Dawn asked. "You said your job could be done without you here, why are you here then?"

"It can be done, just not as well. M is good at pointing people out which is what we're here for but in a fight you don't want to send someone who has such a useful skill if you don't have to. He sits out of most of the actual battles."

"M? Is that his real name?"

"No."

"Why are you hiding his name from us?"

"Because I don't know it."

"What's your name?"

"..."

At this point Tiff felt like she had to step in. "Dawn stop. Leave him alone, he clearly doesn't want to tell you anything you're not supposed to know." There were always secrets that had to be kept to keep people safe against the Demon Worshipers or next time you went home they might be there waiting for you.

She had only told one person when she got the Holy attribute and that was all it had taken. Of course she didn't know if the word had spread from their mouth or if the Demon Worshipers had gotten whiff of her some other way but they had been in her home at some point because by the time she had gotten home after her class at the temple her family was gone.

She was pretty sure whoever had taken her family had mistaken her sister for her and that was the only reason she had had enough time to disappear. It was good that her mother had told her that she was in danger as soon as she had said she had the Holy affinity or she wouldn't have known to run.

Once she had realized her mom had probably told people at the Temple and that the people at the Temple Might have been the ones that had told the Demon Worshipers she just stayed gone. She had stayed out on the streets for years to be safe and the only good thing she had gotten from it all was her first Legendary skill that had saved her life more times than she could count.

It was also the reason she had been chosen for the 23 because at the time they didn't have anyone with the Holy attribute that was a better match to hold the dagger. "Ok, I'll trail behind you all and you won't see me unless you need to." Realizing she had better things to be paying attention to, Tiff started to walk away from the man Dawn had just been interrogating.

Looking at the road Tiff realized she was less than two hours away from seeing the God of Light again as long as nothing went wrong. She wasn't really looking forward to it either so this was going to be a rough last couple of hours of being a normal person.
