Chapter 1317 Sneaking in
Belail, the Kraven prince, took his security very seriously and consistently moved around with a guard, and though he could no longer spend his time in the panic room, he remained in the heavily guarded capital, never leaving.
Lex would need to find the place while maintaining complete stealth, infiltrate it and then find a way to kill Belail. Escaping would be the easiest part of all this.
Despite everything Cornelius had told him about the examinees, Lex did not want to get involved at all. He was leaving all these problems behind to become a good little Innkeeper. He would take care of his guests, and manage his property. He was done interfering with other problems.
Although he felt bad for what was happening to the Crystal realm, if he didn\'t take care of the Midnight realm then it too would one day become like this. More importantly, he was nowhere near strong enough to single handedly resolve this whole issue.
With his plan more or less decided, he left a gold coin on the table and left, enchanting it so that strangers could not pick it up, and only the cafe staff could.
Lex teleported from the capital of the Hum nation, all the way across to the territory near the capital of the Kraven territory. The distance was absolutely enormous, but it served as no obstacle to Lex. The actual problem was to ensure no spatial ripples were released as a result of his teleportation.
Fenrir was still recovering from his tribulation, so Lex could not rely on him for stealth. Fortunately, Lex had learned a thing or two of his own - or rather, Jack had. Traveling through the shadow plane was one of the stealthiest ways to move around, and Jack had done enough of it with the Shadow talon that followed him.
While Lex himself did not have a way to enter the shadow plane, he could enter the soul plane. Due to the nature of the planes, the soul plane was not nearly as stealthy as the shadow plane, and others with sufficient control over their souls could still sense him if he came close enough.
But it wasn\'t time to rely on that just yet. Instead, Lex put on his stealth suit and used a spiritual technique to hide. The reason he didn\'t hide using some law was because he wasn\'t familiar with that yet. He figured that other immortals might be able to sense an abnormality in laws and easily detect him.
Comparatively, relying on an ordinary technique was safer, although he might still be detected. Lex shrunk the size of his body, and started walking through the Kraven territory. There were no Sol birds in sight, and the land was devoid of any life despite the presence of sufficient water and nutrients. It was because the Kraven had sucked the literal life out of this place, killing everything.
To avoid the constant invasion of monsters, they had set up artificial lights using formations everywhere. But avoiding monsters did not require bright lights, so the entire Kraven territory was illuminated in a pale, blue light that seemed to cover everything.
Lex took one step after another, covering vast distances with each step, using only his eyesight to look for towns and settlements. Fortunately, his left eyes ability to extract information was phenomenal, so it wasn\'t long before he noticed a massive hollow in the ground. It was quite prominent, with a thick black border around it, made of different shapes. It wasn\'t any language, or Lex would have been able to read it.
But Lex didn\'t need to read it. Just looking at it was enough for Lex to understand that the Kraven built their cities underground, and this was an opening, though not for a city.
This could, at most, be a simple base or something. Unwilling to spread his spirit sense out lest he get detected, Lex was forced to sneak inside while hiding, and soon found a network of tunnels and caverns, all lit up with a pale blue light.
There were clear drains made in all the tunnels, and for good reason. They weren\'t for rain, but to collect the slime that dripped off Kraven\'s bodies.
Resisting the urge to pass a derogatory comment, Lex explored the base and discovered that it was merely some kind of temporary barracks. There were only a few Kraven inside, guarding the place, and they were in the Golden core realm so Lex had no problem carefully reading their memories.
The capital was indeed nearby. It was a mere ninety-eight thousand miles from their current location! Although that sounded like a lot, and actually was a lot, Lex could now unironically say that it wasn\'t so far.
He didn\'t even need to teleport. Putting his hands in his pockets, Lex just continued to walk at the same pace as before, making sure to remain hidden and to not leave behind a trail.
Before long, Lex found himself in front of a giant crater that led to the underground capital of the Kraven. The problem was… n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The crater did not seem like a regular opening to the city. No, this looked like the crater that was formed when a meteor fell from the sky onto a planet.
Considering that there was a distinct lack of any guards or security, it was safe to say that something had surely happened to the Kraven capital.
Lex jumped inside.
