Chapter 163
The Elder with the Fox Mask
After escaping the prison, we switched to infiltration mode.
We could have just escaped while destroying everything in our path, but Demon King Ashtaroth was a cautious king. And I preferred to leave as quietly as I had been invited.
And so Toshizou and I attacked the guards in front of the prison at the same time. We were insync as we moved behind their backs and hit their necks with our hands. They fell unconscious.
“Still, I wonder why doing this knocks them unconscious?”
“I don’t know.”
I answered. And then we dragged the guards into the cells and tied them up.
We met several other guards as we made our way through the castle, and so we did the same to them. We would attack from the shadows or use invisibility magic in order to surprise them, etcetera.
“You’re like a thief, Master Ashtaroth. What do you say? Should we go and steal some treasure?”
