Dungeon Raider System

Chapter 243 Payback feather

After having his eyes opened by Uriel and gaining a significant amount of power, Sam decided to take matters into his own hands and while the mining crew kept busy deploying the tier 2 batteries, he headed towards the Celes camp and spied on them.

After losing most of the soldiers that tagged along, the army pulled back most of its resources, at least during the investigation. But they couldn't do it entirely or they would break the contract Ethan stroke with Tina's father.@@@@

Because of that, they needed to provide some basic resources and at least one colonel, but that didn't mean it would need to be a capable one and they chose Cassandra to fill the gap left by the late colonel Windfire. However, she turned out to be much more capable than they expected.

The Celes encampent was comprised of ten different tents which served as both housing and protection from espionage, something that Sam noticed as soon as he had a clear line of sight to it.

The tents were placed in a circle surrounding the shadow being cast by the island floating above, and the soldiers worked their way to the center using plasma cannons to get rid of any hostile cryptids and from what Sam was able to see, they were doing a spectacular job.

They moved in an orderly fashion and the newly appointed colonel Sword kept everyone in line which didn't add up with the picture both Luna and Uriel painted about her.

Both of them described Cassandra as violently rebel and as someone who would always have the last word in any conversation. Something like that didn't go well with the army's mentality but it seemed that being in the highest position in her detachment countered that.

If there were no superiors to disrespect all she had to do was to make sure no soldiers defied their orders.

Sam watched with a gaping mouth how Cassandra kicked someone to the ground just because he made a mistake while mounting their mining laser hull.

After all, everyone knew his trait was related to his sight and no one would suspect he was currently in possession of an artifact that allowed him to manipulate air. Even if the army investigated, they wouldn't find a single hunter with an air manipulation trait in the Dungoen Raiders company.

He knew it well because he remembered the files of every single member that joined them thanks to his eidetic memory.

It was as though all the stars aligned just to give him a chance to avenge the Air spirit people.

Sam walked towards the floating island that hovered right above the Celes camp and climbed up with the help of the long roots that tethered it to the ground.

As soon as he reached the bottom of the island, he opened fire towards a single spot at the distance until his intermediate rifle ran out of energy, then he popped a tier 2 battery, then another until a hole the size of a penny was dug letting out the steaming hot air that filled the island.

It started like a focused jet stream of air coming out with such force it could have torn a huge hole on the bottom of the floating island, but because of the intense heat, even the rock would melt and seal the hole. That was something Sam wasn't counting on, but he was well equipped to prevent it.

Sam closed his eyes again and manipulated the air in such manner that the hole couldn't be sealed and the stream of air soon became ten times stronger than the air coming out from a zeppelin's engine at full thrust.

After succeeding in his task, Sam let go of the root and glide his way back towards his camp turning his head from time to time to see his unsuspecting victims with an unsightly grin on his face.
