Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: The Sergeant’s Warning and the Midnight Secret

Someone was banging on the dormitory door loudly. The sound was so strong that it made the whole small room shake. Bang! Bang! It was like they were trying to break the door down or something. The noise was really scary. It made me jump.

The Sergeant was yelling at the top of his lungs. "Jin-woo what is wrong, with you? Can you not hear me? Get here right now!" his rough voice was coming from the hallway.

I quickly put the Mana Healing Stone under my pillow. Closed the system interface. Ryan was already really upset from everything that happened during the day so he sat up fast. "What is going on?" he said, his voice shaking. "Is something bad happening again?" he asked, looking really scared and pale in the light of the room. The Mana Healing Stone was still on my mind. I was worried, about what Ryan would think if he found out about the Mana Healing Stone.

I opened the door. The Sergeant was standing there with two soldiers on either side of him. The Sergeants eyes were narrow. He looked really suspicious. It felt like he was staring through me. The Sergeant leaned in close to me. His nose started twitching. It was like he was trying to smell something that was not quite right. The Sergeants eyes stayed narrow the time. I could tell he was looking for something, out of place.

He wanted to know what took them long to get there. He also asked about the shaking feeling they had. He asked these questions in a tone.

I said sorry to the man. I was really asleep. The vibrations, from the base generators probably woke me up I told him in a voice.

The Sergeant stepped closer. Whispered loudly "Remember this kid. You are not at the Academy anymore. Colonel Vikram is watching you. He still remembers what happened during the ambush. You were very lucky to survive. Do not think that luck means you are good, at what you do. Colonel Vikram has his eyes on you. He knows what you can and cannot do. You have to know your place. Colonel Vikram has not forgotten what you did during the ambush.

He looked over at Ryan, who was holding onto his shoulder that had a bandage on it. "You need to go to the gate of Sector 7 at 0400 hours and you have to be right on time. If you are one second late they will put you in the brig so make sure you are at the main gate of Sector 7, on time."

After the Sergeant left Ryan started to whisper fast. "Jin-woo I am telling you the Colonel knows you are hiding something. That ambush it was crazy. Did you see what happened? The Gargoyles were being cut by something that we could not see it was, like air was slicing them. The Colonel is going to find out what you are hiding Jin-woo."

I told Ryan to go to sleep. I said it in a way. Ryan needs to stop thinking much. Thinking much is not good, for Ryans health. Then I turned off the light.

I did not sleep. It was 2:00 AM. The base was really quiet except for the sound of the searchlights on the watchtower moving back and forth and shining their light on my window every few minutes. I turned on my Tactical Eye. The display in front of me lit up. Showed me thousands of Mana signatures from the soldiers and hunters who were all over the base. The Mana signatures from the soldiers and the Mana signatures from the hunters were over the place, on my Tactical Eye display.

Then my System flashed a red warning light that was coming from right under the floor.

​[ SYSTEM ALERT: Ancient Mana Source Detected ]

[ Distance: 50 Meters Below (Secret Level 4) ]

[ Status: Optimal time for Chest Unlocking. ]

This was the moment. I sat up. I put my hand on the floor. I used Void Walker. I turned my body into a shadow that was not really there. Then I started to go down through the concrete and, into the dark. I was sinking down with Void Walker going deeper into the dark with Void Walker.

​The Secret Vault (Level 4 - Sector 7)

As I got to the bottom the air felt different. The smell of iron and really old magic that does not work anymore was all around me in the corridor. I did not see any soldiers, really big iron cages and a big stone altar in the middle. The iron cages were huge. The stone altar was right, in the center. The smell of rusting iron and old magic was strong.

As I walked up, to the altar the Legendary Chest appeared in front of me. It was not made of gold or silver. The Legendary Chest looked like it was made from a piece of a star that had died. The Legendary Chest was really something.

​[ Mission Progress: 100% ]

You have finally met the condition. This means you can now get the World Legend Weapon. It is all yours to inherit. The World Legend Weapon is waiting for you.

My hands were shaking really badly as I touched the handle. When I lifted the handle up a bit a loud noise filled the whole valley. It was, like the sound of a thousand swords hitting each other at the same time.

I said to myself "Am I really ready, for this?" I whispered these words quietly.

The lid creaked open halfway. A big wave of Black light and Violet light came out. This light was really strong. It went right through the concrete ceilings. It shot up into the midnight sky. The Black light and Violet light just kept going up and up.

​Scene: The Skies Above the Army Base

The sky over the border changed color all of a sudden. This was a weird thing to see. People who lived in six cities went outside their homes because they were curious. A huge vortex started to form in the clouds over the border. The vortex in the clouds was really big. It was getting bigger. People, in these six cities were looking up at the sky and they saw the massive vortex.

The SSS-Rank Hunters who were in parts of the world felt that their Mana Watches were sending out strong warning signals. These warnings from the Mana Watches were really loud and clear, to the SSS-Rank Hunters. The SSS-Rank Hunters heard their Mana Watches scream with warnings.

We have a problem on our hands. A Level 999 Mana Signature has been found. This Mana Signature is, in Sector 7 Army Base. The Mana Signature is very strong. We need to pay attention to the Mana Signature in Sector 7 Army Base.

Outside the city walls the Daemon Lords opened their eyes in the caves where they lived. The Daemon Lords felt a chill, in their souls. They said to each other "The King of the Ancient Void has come... The King of the Ancient Void is awake now."

​Back in the Vault:

I was standing in the middle of this really bright light. Inside the chest a sword was coming out slowly. The sword was all the way out when I heard the sound. The sword it was making this noise.

​CRASH!

The main vault doors were blown off their hinges. Colonel Vikram and his team of good hunters the best ones stormed into the vault. They were all highly trained and ready for action. Colonel Vikram was, in charge of these hunters.

"Stop now!" the Colonel yelled,. They could not see me very well because of all the energy surrounding me.

​The sword was fully out now. All I had to do was reach out and take it.
