Chapter 1156 1156. Checking Out The Buildings

Jack cast Barrier while running to the building complex at the center of the force field. The barrier was just in case he was. .h.i.t by stray lightning. The high demon and the infernal stormbird were still battling one another up there in the sky. Loud sounds were heard whenever the two clashed.

Through his radar, he could see that he was close to the barn from the positions of the other demons. All the demons had gathered outside the buildings to watch the battle.

He didn't know how long the battle between the two in the sky would last, so he couldn't waste any time. He let go of stealth. He summoned Therras and his royal agents once he rushed out of the yellow fog.

The demons, whose attention was still on the sky, didn't see the group of intruders until they were too close. Everyone took advantage of the situation and landed the first strikes except for Jack, who ran into the medium-sized building.

Jack didn't go into the largest building because he deduced that the building should be the demons' living quarters, which made the medium-sized building a more likely storeroom for the fruits. The two demons who were originally inside that building were also outside joining the others, so the building was empty.

Therras and the royal agents knew Jack's intention, so they kept the demons outside from going back into the building.

After entering the building, Jack saw the inside looked like a stable. Large strange animals were inside some stalls lining the two sides of the building. The animals didn't appear hostile and they also didn't appear on Jack's radar. Jack a.s.sumed these animals must be some kind of a steed to carry the demons or to transport something.

He looked around but didn't see anything valuable except for the animals. When he was feeling disappointed and was about to leave to check out the largest building, he noticed that this stable was smaller than the building size seen from the outside.

He then noticed a door at the far wall. He was not aware of this door at first because its material was the same as the wall. Hence, it was slightly camouflaged.

He came to the door and tried opening it. It was locked, which Jack considered a good sign. Locked doors meant there was something valuable in the room behind it.

He didn't have the time to lockpick the door, so he started hitting it. An HP bar and damage number appeared following his. .h.i.t. He was glad this door was not considered too tough for his strength.

He looked at his radar when doing it, the number of red dots outside was decreasing. The demons were no match for his minions. As for the large red dots, they were still glued to one another a distance away.

After a few minutes, the door finally succ.u.mbed. It broke to pieces and revealed a room filled with strange yellow b.a.l.l.s that sometimes exuded yellow fumes. He used Inspect on one of these strange yellow b.a.l.l.s.

Brimstone Fruit (Super rare ingredient)

An ingredient for alchemy and cooking.

"Yes!" He exclaimed loudly.

He then started collecting the fruits and storing them in his inventory. Darmos only asked for one. But considering this was a super rare ingredient that could only be found in the underworld, he supposed he should take as many as possible.

The only valuables inside the room were the fruits. There were almost a thousand of them, so it took Jack a while to collect them.

After he was done, the regular red dots outside had decreased to only two. When Jack came out of the building, the remaining two demons were down. He looked up at the two battling creatures up in the air, the two were still in a heated battle.

Jack then turned his attention to the larger building. He told his royal agents to keep a lookout before he ran into that building.

Ramaun, who was high up in the air, wasn't oblivious about what was happening on the ground. He had seen the intruders coming out of the yellow fog and a.s.saulting the guards down there. He also saw one of the intruders entering the storehouse. That same intruder was now entering the main building.

He had tried disengaging the battle to engage those intruders, but the stormbird didn't let him.

The stormbird was angry at Ramaun for his abuse by utilizing the force field a while ago. Even the unprotected brimstone trees on the ground were less tempting to the stormbird compared to exacting its vengeance upon this demon. The stormbird attacked frenziedly every time Ramaun turned his attention away.

This led to Ramaun suffering damage every time he tried to disengage. The stormbird's every attack also had a chance to cause paralyzation.

Ramaun was extremely vexed. He had a higher level than the stormbird, but this situation where he was unable to focus caused him to lose most of the clashes.

Inside the main building, Jack saw a lobby followed by a s.p.a.cious living room with sofas and lounges for the demons to hang out. Jack was amused imagining the demons hanging out like normal people.

His G.o.d-eye monocle didn't register anything worthwhile in those rooms, so he proceeded to the corridor beyond the living room.

The left and right of the corridor had doors that led to small bedrooms. Jack entered every room but still found nothing. At the back was something that looked like a kitchen and stairs to the upper floor.

He ran up the stairs and continued going room after room, without much luck. Until finally, he encountered a locked door. He proceeded to a.s.sault the door with abandon.

After several minutes of intense battle with the motionless door, Jack was granted entry. The room inside looked like an office to whoever was in charge of this plantation.

A few markings on his monocle immediately attracted his attention. One of them was purple. It was another legendary-grade lockbox! The box just sat there on the desk.

"Yes!" Jack threw his hands up in celebration.

"What do you think the chance of me getting another portal-closing stone?" Jack asked as he picked up the lockbox.

"The same quest item from two lockboxes? I'll say, very, very low," Peniel answered.
