บท 2160: Prison Break

A quick strategy was formulated, and Emery and the group walked into the third-floor prison with deliberate steps. The corridor was wide, lined with rows of reinforced doors, and their target cell lay at the far end.

"Who's there?! Stop!" shouted the first batch of Magus guards, their senses heightened by the unexpected intrusion. The familiar figure of the captured Apothecary master stepped forward.

"I am here to check up on the prisoner," he said calmly.

Behind the Apothecary master were two shadowy figures, their forms indistinct and unremarkable to the guards. Thanks to Grand Magus Vulani's ability, their minds were clouded, unable to discern the true identities of the figures trailing the master.

The group moved forward, passing several cells without incident. But as they passed halfway, two grand magus figures blocked their path. Both were one-cosmos figures, the highest-ranked security personnel of the Faulen palace.
