Number One Dungeon Supplier-Chapter 1396: The Remaining Assassin

While Kraft was holding the enemies at bay (or mere toying with his enemies), things were a lot more hectic at the Research Lab's deepest basement. The busy moving of resources from the lab into the portal was quite a sight to behold. The Demon Rat Researchers and the Dark Elves were working together to get cardboard boxes of papers to be thrown into the portals. With the exception of some delicate apparatus, the Dark Elves assisted in carrying machines twice the size of them into the portal.

Only those with storage rings like Narris and Tinda had decided to use it solely for documents that were indicated 'Top Secret'. That alone had made Dr Transquick want to learn their technology even more upon learning that it was not a magic artefact but a product that was readily available to plenty of them. It was pretty obvious that there was a brand new world for them if the Demon Rat Researchers could safely join the humans.

Some of the researchers thought that this was a move by their top to infiltrate the humans like how the assassins had managed to become long term researchers to betray them at the final moment. However, the majority of them were relieved that they could live to see another day mainly because they knew that the current battle against the humans was more or less a loss.

If the humans had decided to eradicate the entire Demon Rat Undercity, all they could rely on was the Birth Mothers under the human's care. No doubt there were some who had their pride hurt knowing that they were not able to defeat these humans beyond the seas despite reassurance from the North and South Scholars that the technology from other countries was inferior to theirs.

Right now, they could see that the scholars either made a wrong judgement or they lied to them that the humans beyond the seas were strong.

In the meantime, while they were breaking out all their locks to move their documents and pushing precious machines into the portals, there was actually a Demon Rat Researcher whose movements were out of the norm. And naturally, that caught the eyes of not just one Night Fox but every one of them within the vicinity of that particular Demon Rat Researcher.

Clearly, he was with the rest of the dead assassins on the floor but he had decided to hold his weapon. A backup assassin in case things went awry for the first group. Borat had never expected the backup group to act aggressively alongside with the first but he believed it was well justified since the Night Foxes had presented a menacing aura that he had never felt during his years of assassinations and hunting of humans.

They were of a different level and Borat could feel it in his bones. In fact, if not for the fact he had kept his cool, he believed he would be gone alongside the backup group who thought it was a wise choice to aid the first group of assassins.

But now with the leader of the backup assassins all alone in this particular situation, he thought it was best to bury this entire underground lab by exploding the lifestream that they initially wanted to use as a bargaining chip against the humans.

If not for Kraft's quick acceptance of the negotiations, Borat thought that they would have the chance to kill off Night Foxes. But now that he realised that they had portals leading to their homeland, he thought that it might be a good idea to destroy the exposed lifestream and spread the explosion through the portal as well. At the very least, the destruction should destroy whatever documents that the Demon Rat researchers had desperately wished to save for the defection.

"Your mind is so easy to read," Tinda said as she and Narris stood right behind Borat.

"What are you talking about?" Borat maintained his cool and began to pick up a few documents from the side of the table. "Please do not disturb me, Dr Transquick had already said that we do not have much time on our side."

"That is why I told you to wait until we catch him in the act." Narris sighed as she said placed her hands on her hips as if signalling to Tinda that her blatant rash behaviour to catch the spy before he did his act was a futile attempt.

"I honestly do not care. We have no place for betrayers and besides, having a live specimen would be better for Kraft. He said that he wanted to try some new torture methods against the Demon Rats if they do not comply. Also, having a spy in denial is better than a dead spy." Tinda said as she moved her index finger with magic pulsating through it.

It immediately cast a spell to bind Borat up and even forced his mouth to be wide open while his tail bounded to his body. Through their experience. they knew how some of these rats were adamant about not giving information to the point they were ready to suicide by biting their tongues or even sending their tail right through their heads. (Yes, it was surprising enough that they could harden their tail enough with sufficient blood pressure and pierce through their brain.)

It was to the point the Night Foxes had devised a way to bind the Demon Rats and quickly extract information from them rather than doing the usual method of interrogation. (Since most of them knew that Kraft loved to play with their victim's emotions and tapped into their pool of fear but that would not work if they could kill themselves before revealing any information.)

The Demon Rat Researchers were undoubtedly frightened by the sudden capture of their own people but seeing how the Night Foxes had concluded that he was one of the assassins, reminded them that they were still at the mercy of their enemies.
