11 Tailing!!: Infiltrating!! Short Chapter (1/2)
With the increase in my strength as well as my new found storage of demonic energy my confidence soared through the rood. When I left the cave I activated stealth but this time it felt stronger than before.
From my hypothesis because of the addition of demonic energy in my body as well as my proficiency in controlling life force my stealth capabilities went up a couple notches. Finding myself a nice place to hide not far from the cave I observed my targets.
After 5 minutes I save 17 shadows appear from the forest. 5 of them had power levels of high rankers, 7 of them were mid rankers, and the rest were low ranking devils. Luckily the didn't sense me or I would have had to fight a losing battle.
Slowly getting closer I would able to hear their conversation.
Mid Devil - Boss are you sure it's here? None of us could find any clue of where the source of the problem could have gone.
Leader Devil - Yes it must be here, Naberius-sama and the Professor want whoever or whatever made the phenomenon to be brought to them as soon as possible. All of you fan out, and you 5 go and report the situation back at the manor.
All Low Ranking Devils - YES SIR!!!
Their conversation was short but was enough to cuz multiple thought to form in my head.
Yuu - [Naberius ... Professor ..... Research....!! Shit! I know what's going on I can't let those guys report what happened. But I also need these guys to show me where their boss is so I can confirm if my hunch is right!]
Leaving behind the bigger group of devils I follow the ones that were heading back to the manor. While still in stealth I followed them for 10 miles before I used Hawk-Eye to scout ahead. There I saw a big mansion a couple more miles ahead of us and decided that I don't need these guys anymore.
With the assistance of [Ground Shrink], [Coercion], and multiple [Void Slashes] those devils based on without even knowing what happened. Sending their corpses into the void I continued my mission.
Once I was about a couple meters from the mansion I felt a sudden jolt in my spine and stopped where I stood. Using all of my detection skill I was able to discover that a barrier was in front of me.
It was invisible but my skills were able to pick it up (thank god). When I focused my appraisal on it I discovered that it was a surface detection barrier that would notify the barriers master whenever someone entered.
