Bab 879: Lucius rescue operation (8)

"Be careful!" Richard said. A laser bolt sizzled dangerously close to Caiden and Lucius. 

The group hurried through the prison's mazelike corridors. The echo of their footsteps seemed to bounce off the walls, but that wasn't the only sound around. 

While Caiden brought Lucius onto his back, Richard and Becker were wreaking havoc. There were many enemies, but the two were powerful and killed most of them before they attacked. 

But they weren't omnipotent. They couldn't be everywhere. Here and there, a soldier slipped by their defenses and tried attacking Caiden and Lucius. 

Richard or Becker took care of them, but Lucius came out unscathed only because Caiden had quick reflexes.

A group of guards arrived. "On our left!" Becker said. He dashed, his air sword ever present; moving with the agility of a cat and a sword in his hands, he was like the scythe of death, as that was exactly what it unleashed.
