Across Eternity: Book 5 - Chapter 6

... was no telling what kind of magic they possessed. He had to kill them all quickly while avoiding drawing attention with gunshots and flashbangs.

Black lightning stretched from the machine overhead into the holding tanks, scouring the prisoners inside. Noah waited patiently for the tanks to open, and when the prisoners staggered out, screaming and mutating, he made his move. Noah snuck up behind them with his sword as the ghouls observed their test subjects. The first beheading was easy, his blade slicing through flesh like a roll of wet paper towels. The other ghouls didn’t notice until the head bounced into the pit. By then, Noah had already slain the second. The third turned and began to shout, but he was silenced.

“Sound the alarm!” the fourth shouted before he, too, lost his head to Noah’s invisible blade.

The fifth ran towards the wall, reaching for a large button, but a throwing knife buried itself in the side of his head and brought him down just before he could press it. Noah then finished him off, and as the sixth turned to flee, he kicked him down into the pit, where the deranged fiends welcomed the arrival of fresh meat.

Unfortunately, he was short on time. The fiends down in the pit, driven mad by the process and yet to be indoctrinated into serving the Profane, climbed out and escaped the chamber. As they rampaged through the palace, it wasn’t long before the alarm started to ring. If guards showed up, he could hide and maybe conceal his work, but if Carthace appeared, there was no telling what might happen. Soon, his worst fear came true. He was typing on the keyboard, putting in the last few formulations, when she arrived. He was hidden, but his alterations to the machinery were clear as day, prompting her to approach.

Noah kept typing, working as fast as he could. If he finished before entering her range, he could destroy all her threads and deprive her of her sensory abilities. However, beneath his feet, the lines lit up with her mana. “Who’s there?!” she demanded.

Noah kept his eyes on the screen before him, but the appearing runes drew her ever closer. He put in the last sequence and reached for the activation lever, but was stopped when a webbing net was thrown over him. Each thread felt like a live wire, burning him, ...
