Chapter 307: The Palace’s Dungeon (Part 1)
After Melina and I had come up with a new plan where I would be acting as bait for the empress’ guards, we left Vespera in charge of protecting everyone in the mansion and left from the back.
Once we were high up in the air, we split up. I rushed to the palace while Melina made her way to the Yushan mansion.
I was supposed to cause a commotion, and the easiest way to do that would be to simply shoot a fire spell at the palace and blow up a wall or something. However, that could also seem too obvious.
When Sinoc and the Scarlet Trio reacted to our magic, they were sensing the MP of a single teleport spell, so I thought that something more destructive would be obvious that it was a diversion.
Still, that made the light bulb at the top of my head light up.
I drank a little of the invisibility potion and descended to the side of the palace where Lania told us that the entrance to the dungeon was located.
I knocked out two guards who were patrolling the courtyard and hid their bodies in a bush before taking them to safety.
They were guarding the large, red trapdoor that was connected to the palace and led to the underground dungeon.
I took another swig of the invisibility potion to make sure that the effect wouldn’t end at the wrong time and made my way inside, carefully closing the trapdoor behind me.
The torches that were supposed to light up the hallway seemed to have been off for a long time. Nonetheless, I was still able to get to the bottom carefully.
When the hallway opened up, I was a bit shocked at the size of the dungeon.
