Each of the four guards was wearing thick metal armor pieces on their bodies. Their shoulder guards had metal spikes coming out of them, and they wore metal knuckles with small spikes that they could use to deal more damage if they had to use their fists, but thanks to the system, a person couldn't gain the attribute boosts from two different weapons at once, only in cases where a person was holding two similar weapons, like two swords, two daggers … would that happen.

That led Reign and the others to believe that the knuckles were either there just to give them more options for battle, or they were a part of the armor they wore.

The metal pieces of the armor shielded their vitals mostly, the armor didn't go down to the legs and there was a big metal piece covering the front of the torso. The armor pieces were gray, with red lines that were seemingly spray painted.

They also wore metal helmets, and from what Reign could sense, all four were Tier III combatants.

The number of people passing nearby was very low since the basement entrance was at the far side of the base and there was nothing here for people to do, that allowed Reign and the others for more options when it came to picking how to handle this situation.

The disappearance of the guards will be noticed for sure, but so will the disappearance of the boss of the base who was currently in the basement. The door leading to the basement was a thick steel door and opening it was impossible for Reign and the others as it functioned the same as the entrance to the base, which meant that they would have to destroy it in order to move down to the basement.

"Wait, do we really need to go down by using the door?" Wolf suddenly asked, making Reign and Elijah look at him weirdly.

"Well, the basement is below us, so can't we just do the same thing we did before, just cut a hole and go down?"

"We could, but I can't sense anything down there, even when I try to sense any souls, it's as if something is blocking me as I can sense way too much down there."

"What do you mean you can sense too much?" Wolf and Elijah looked at Reign who simply shook his head.

"Just like I said, it's as if there are thousands of people down there, my senses are completely blocked and I can't pinpoint anyone, same goes for mana."

"That's not good, boy, for someone to sense so many souls below, something bad is going on." Aethion suddenly spoke out as Reign simply nodded at his words,  fully agreeing to them.

Whatever was going on in the basement was bad news. Something like this had never happened to Reign, which made him a bit nervous.

"Well, we can deal with the guards, but we will still need to get past the door, at least if we cut a hole, we can immediately go down there, if anyone spots us, we can do our best to finish them as quickly as possible so no alarm gets activated," Wolf said as Reign and Elijah nodded at him.

Right now, that was the best option for them, not to mention that they had already spent quite some time in the base and Shadow and the others were bound to be getting a bit nervous and worried about them.

"Let's do it, from what we already know, the basement is massive and stretches out for the entirety of the base, some parts going even further, so we can choose any place to make our hole, but we should probably do it in one of the nearby offices as they are empty most of the time, that should give us enough time to make a hole and then cover it back up." Reign said before he and the other two made their way to a nearby office and waited for about 2 minutes for the only person inside to leave.

Wolf then took out his sword and stabbed the ground. His sword was the strongest weapon the group had, and his ability made it melt through the floor easily as the sword became bright orange from the incredible heat of Wolf's flames.

Cutting the hole only took Wolf a couple of seconds, and right after the hole was made and the piece of the floor fell down, Reign made his way down, his lightning flickering around him as he made his way to the bottom before the metal piece and grabbed it. He immediately looked around, and upon seeing nobody, he breathed out a sigh of relief before Wolf and Elijah jumped down.

Reign and Elijah quickly used their weapons in order to get up the wall as the ceiling in the basement was 4 meters high. They made their way up and held the metal part in place before Wolf used his flames to melt it together.

Wolf had placed a cloth on the surface that blocked the hole they had made, and right on top of it, he placed a desk, with some luck, it would take people a long time to notice what they had done.

As they finished that, they all started making their way deeper inside the basement, and for the next couple of minutes, they saw nobody walking through the halls.

The walls around them were made out of cement and there were lights lighting up the place. The lights were of course operated by mana, they were made out of glass and a mana crystal was inside of it.

There were no rooms, no doors, nothing present in the basement, just a bunch of hallways that they were walking through.

'Why make this basement so complicated and large, wouldn't a smaller one be much more useful?' Elijah asked as Reign and Wolf nodded at his words, fully agreeing to them. Unfortunately, they also had no idea why the basement was like this. That was until a couple of more minutes passed and they heard the sounds of footsteps.

Two men appeared in front of them, each one dressed in rags and running. They seemed weak, a bit malnourished, and beaten up. Just by glancing at them, none of the three believed that they were members of any gang.

"Get over here!" An angry voice suddenly yelled out as a chain appeared behind the two. The chain wrapped itself around the foot of one of the men who fell down before being dragged back.

The other one continued running while the one that was being dragged back screamed, yelled, and cried, begging the ones behind to release him.

Reign and the others looked shocked at what was happening as another person appeared and ran after the one that was getting away. The man was dressed in a coat, but one made out of leather. Blood stained most of his body as he had a cleaver in his hand. As he looked at the man who was running away, he licked his lips with glee before suddenly stopping.

"Elijah, get the guy that ran away, Wolf, kill those that are behind this bastard." Reign said as his hand was clenching the throat of the man dressed in a leather coat. The man struggled, even tried to hit Reign with the cleaver, but only found his hand broken upon doing so.

Reign lifted him up and stared at him with anger before breaking his neck and collecting his soul.

"Aethion."

"On it."

Elijah quickly managed to overtake the man who was running away, but the man was panicking and Elijah could do nothing else but grab him and take him back to Reign and the others by force while trying to placate him, promising that they were here to help and wouldn't hurt him.

The man only calmed down when he saw the dead body of the man who used a cleaver. He then saw a fat corpse being thrown a couple of meters in front of Reign as Wolf arrived with the other man.

"You two, speak, what the hell is going on here?" Reign asked the two who were shaking. Their minds were still spinning and they were incoherent.

"I don't think they will give us any answer until they fully calm down, I just don't know if we have time for that, the disappearance of these two will be noticed," Wolf said before he used his flames to light the two corpses on fire. There was no smell of cooked meat as he had immediately used the hottest flames he could to turn them to ash.

"I know." Reign said as he crouched down.

"Listen, go to the end, to where the stairs are, but do not go up, there are enemies up there and they will hurt you if they see you, just wait at the stairs, we will come there soon, alright?" Reign asked the two who were staring up at him before nodding at him.

"Don't go up, alright, you got that, you can't go up, you'll die if you do." Reign made sure to tell them again before he and the others made their way deeper inside.
