Chapter 80: 80. Doubts?
He was unwilling to die. Well, who in the right mind wanted to die? At the time of his death, he hated society very much.
He hadn't done anything wrong; he never harmed anyone in his life; he hadn't even betrayed someone.
But fate played a joke on him, and without any reason, he was killed. That changed his mindset.
All the unwillingness and hatred broke his moral shackles. He learned the true nature of people, and eventually, he concluded.
'Fairness and Equality are just fantasies made up by the weak. The strong won't care about the rules set by the weak.'
It was a profound lesson that he learned at the time of his death, but it was already too late.
'Now, I need to concentrate on work.' Kai remained himself.
"Dayan, let's go. We need to leave early to get a place in the worship, or else we won't get a seat for ourselves." Sahro said.
"Okay, we can go, and I will take it in no time."
"Are you going to take me by flying?" He asked in excitement.
"Yes, you can enjoy your first flight," Kai said and grabbed him.
"By the way, where is the capital? I kind of forgot the location."
"Bro, how did you forget the location? It is in the north-west direction. Go straight, and we will arrive in an hour."
Seeing that Sahro didn't get suspicious, Kai let out a sigh of relief and flew in the direction.
After traveling for an hour, both of them arrived at the location.
There was already a huge crowd awaiting them. But it is a different experience for Kai since the crowd looks like a huge mountain instead of a sea of people.
Kai and Sahro found a place for themselves and sat down. No one found anything suspicious about Kai.
'I need to leave this soon, or else the entire plan will be ruined.'
Kai knew he wouldn't be able to hide from a Tier 4 spirit, so he needed to leave this place before they arrived. But at the same time, he didn't want Sahro to know about his disappearance.
'Okay, I should use the fragment abilities in combination and leave this place.'
Kai used his [Astral Projection] [Quantum Decoy] abilities at the same time. Another similar Kai with the same wavelength appeared, and the original Kai disappeared from the place.
'Phew! I can now start doing my job without any care.'
His purpose for staying in the same kingdom for eight months was to steal the third fragment and the rumored treasure.
Kai began to wander around the capital to see the reaction to his fragment.
On his way, Kai saw a lot of sand spirits. The capital wasn't different from any other place; they were just doing their work without caring about anyone.
The only difference is that the capital is huge compared to the city, and there are a lot of guards with weapons standing here and there.
After searching for some time, his fragment reacted for the first time. Kai immediately followed the directions and arrived at the royal palace.
'Although I know the fragment must be in the palace, can't they change the location for once?' Kai cursed the cliche situation and scouted the royal palace.
He knew today would be his only chance to steal the fragment this year.
Almost all the powerhouses and people of the kingdom were in the location of worship, so it was his perfect chance to steal without any danger.
After scouting the royal palace, Kai didn't find any Tier 4 sand spirits from outside.
'Maybe there are some hidden guardians inside the palace?'
Kai went inside the palace to check. He used the law of darkness to conceal his presence.
With the guidance of the fragment, he didn't wander around the royal palace. He went straight to the Treasury, and to his astonishment, he didn't find any hidden guardians.
'Is this really happening, or is there some kind of scheme going on?'
Even Kai began to doubt since everything was going smoothly without any troubles.
Kai went near the Treasury Gate and tried to open it. But his danger sense warned him.
'Wow, what kind of mechanism is this? Did they set up something similar to a laser?'
Kai used his Will Power to inspect the gate, and after seeing the result, he was mesmerized.
'I didn't expect the sand spirits to be capable of making something like this.'
The gate is attached with a combination of detection, killing, defensive, and illusion formation.
The detection formation will alert a person who has the detection ring, which is used in this type of formation.
The remaining three formations will trap the person until help arrives. All these formations are Tier 4, and Kai isn't capable of bypassing them without leaving any trace.
'Although bypassing would be troublesome, I can break them by exploiting their weaknesses.'
Kai's mastery over formation dao increased to formation saint after the epiphany.
But he could only draw Tier 3 formations, so he can't be called a formation saint for now. His cultivation level severely limits him.
Kai began to draw a Tier 3 hidden formation around himself. He didn't want to get caught during his work.
After successfully drawing it, Kai placed a hundred peak-grade spirit stones as formation eyes.
'Now, I can start cracking them without any danger.'
Kai tried to follow their patterns and combinations. They are the core of the formation; if he understands them, he can easily break the formation without any obstacles.
But he soon encountered his first problem. The formation master who created this formation didn't just simply create it using formation; he also drew a lot of fake lines without affecting the formation.
'Now this is a genius idea that I should also implement in my work.'
