Chapter 72. Explosion is Art

A sudden emergency.

In the face of imminent danger, my mind raced faster than ever.

'The left corridor is blocked. I hear someone coming down from upstairs. Is the basement still clear?'

I've been on the Front Line for over eight years. Being surrounded in the heart of enemy territory? I've been through it countless times.

I've been trapped in closed warehouses and at the tops of spires, not just places like this with paths leading in all directions.

And, in every single situation, I survived. Even if I bled and had chunks of flesh torn off, I clung tenaciously to life and made it this far.

Based on that long experience, the top priority in these situations is to stay calm. You need a clear head to assess the situation properly.

"What is this, Your Excellency?!"

"Probably some kind of alarm Magic or security device! That's not important right now. Grab your gear and follow me!"

Someone just said they felt the floor moving downwards, so it's probably a mechanical contraption. Not that it matters much at this point...
