In the next mont, the ordinary iron hamr in the box transford into the epic Warhamr ’Counterattacker’ that was emitting a silvery mist on the stone table.
For a mont, it seed as if there were two ’Counterattackers’.
This was the Second Level Spell Scroll ’Nestu Magic Radiance’.
The effect is quite special, casting an illusion on a creature or object. This illusion can make a non-magic item emit specific magic radiance, or vice versa, lasting 24 hours.
Simply put, the purpose of using it here is to make the fake appear real.
By using an ordinary Warhamr and casting this Second Level Magic Radiance to impersonate the epic magic equipnt ’Counterattacker’, thus increasing the ti for his retreat.
Reid quickly stood up and swapped the two Counterattackers, and then stored Leo’s secret stash box back into the subspace.
At this point, Reid couldn’t help but reveal a ’mission accomplished’ smile on his face.
Because this was the most difficult step of the entire plan.
Just as Reid was about to leave, he paused for a mont, then took out a miniature leather box model from the pouch on his left side to replace the real miniature model in the pouch on the right.
In other words, he swapped their positions.
’Don’t bla , Captain.’
’With this epic Warhamr, I can retire directly...’
Suddenly!
At this mont, the tray on which the ’Counterattacker’ was placed emitted a brilliant light, and an ear-piercing alarm sounded.
Reid imdiately felt the air around him solidifying like a swamp.
"Damn it!"
No plan is foolproof.
How could he not realize that although the squad had simulated this repeatedly, it was all just simulations.
They had overlooked that there was also a triggering array on the tray.
Reid vanished into invisibility, struggling to run outside, but at this mont, even though he exerted full strength, he was as slow as a snail.
Fortunately, although his invisibility magic items were partly suppressed by the array, two of them were still highly effective, so the four guards who rushed in did not notice Reid’s presence.
At this mont.
A robust Gray Dwarf clad in golden-striped armor and wielding a Two-Handed Heavy Hamr charged in, followed by several elite Gray Dwarves.
"(In Dwarven Language) Lord Angrel!"
"(In Dwarven Language) The alert was triggered, but no items are missing. Could the array be malfunctioning?" reported one of the elite Gray Dwarves.
Reid held his breath, and beads of sweat started forming on his forehead. He needed to escape before the Dark Furnace Clan captain Angrel, with at least a ninth Classes Level, discovered him.
Otherwise...
He would surely die!
Captain Angrel examined the several treasures on the stone table.
Seeing all the treasures were there, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"Thank goodness."
"As long as the treasures are safe."
"Wait! The tray is glowing, this is..."
At this mont, a lightning bolt of realization struck Angrel’s mind, and his eyes widened.
He quickly stepped forward, his slightly trembling hand reaching for the ’Counterattacker’ placed in the Guardian Array.
As he touched the ’Counterattacker’, the silver misty glow on it suddenly flickered like a distorted television signal.
This change caused Angrel’s expression to change dramatically.
The Gray Dwarf Warriors exchanged puzzled looks.
They all now knew that the epic Warhamr ’Counterattacker’ had been stolen!
The one on the table was a fake!
In that instant, Reid stepped out of the outermost range of the array, feeling jubilant inside.
At this fleeting mont, the fluctuation of his aura slightly leaked, imdiately catching Angrel’s attention.
"Thief! Die now!"
Angrel suddenly turned his head and hurled the Two-Handed Warhamr in his hand like an arrow straight towards Reid’s position.
Facing the hamr that was whistling towards him like a cot, Reid’s eyes widened. He barely managed to draw the dual darts from his waist for a crossed defense in front of him.
"Clang!"
Although Reid blocked it, the power contained in this strike was imnse, and he was forcefully blasted through one side of the wall.
At this mont.
The small pouch on his left waist was torn by the jagged edges of the broken stones, and a small item fell out.
Reid didn’t notice this at all.
Because he was just blasted out of invisibility, facing a critical life-and-death situation.
He imdiately stood up, tore open a teleportation scroll, and in a flash, he appeared outside the building and used Gale Step to sprint away.
anwhile, the Warhamr returned to Angrel’s hand.
Seeing the gray silhouette quickly escaping, Angrel imdiately gave chase, followed by the elite Gray Dwarves.
For a mont, the surroundings returned to silence.
However, on the ground in the nearby room, there was a common gray rat. Its distinctly human-like eyes widened in a dumbfounded manner.
It seed completely unable to comprehend the intense confrontation that just occurred in a split second.
The gray rat was actually Sulfur Vine in disguise.
She had suddenly heard the explosion just now, then noticed a high-tier Gray Dwarf caster casting a Flying Spell and rapidly rising into the sky, so she quickly fled from the rooftop to the ground to hide.
Two seconds earlier, when she saw the scene of breaking through the wall, her whole body froze.
’Am I exposed?’
’But that shouldn’t be!’
’I didn’t do anything!’
Just then, as the dust settled, a peculiar small object rolled to a stop at her feet.
This finally snapped the Druid Maiden back to reality.
