2024-10-29 19:42:56In the dark underground shelter of the mining base, as the other slaves slept, a figure was already up. He looked smilingly at the sword that came into his hand mysteriously from nowhere.
Morales’s smile was wide as he softly caressed the sparkling metal body of the sword.
Lionel always asked him again and again for the past few days why he did not demand a weapon to be crafted for him. He always replied with a smile, and that he already has his own weapon.
Though the latter always looked at him doubtfully after hearing him, he gave up in the end as he was the leader. The risk of their uphill endeavor was clear to them all.
It took a lot of willpower on his part to prevent his desire to bring out the weapon that he got from his system lottery draw for the past days. Finally, he could freely bring it out today.
All it required from him was to let his intention known and the sword mysteriously materialized from the system.
He was waiting for this for 2 months already, so he quickly opened his interface to check its attributes.

[Remark: This is a well-crafted weapon that was once used by the calamity grade powerhouse, the Storm warlord. It is a fine piece of art with a legendary history. This is just a fragment of the original weapon.]
-------------------------------------------------------
Morales was shocked after going through the attributes of his new weapon. Its base stats and special effects alone were already outrageous for a weapon of its grade.
What made him more astonished was the special weapon ability of the sword. This was a completely godlike ability for the current him.
“Damn, I hit the jackpot”.
With these new perks granted by the storm sword, he was now more confident in the outcome of their escape mission today.
“Is this what it feels like for the goddess of luck to smile on you?” He muttered happily. This surprise put him in a completely giddy mood.
Calamity grade powerhouses are supers who already grew to the Grade A territory. They were the pinnacle of individual strength, only below the beyond grade A’s.
The Storm warlord is a famous calamity grade powerhouse of the old era that once reigned during the era of the legendary Clifford.
As Morales reveled in the joy brought by his new toy, the first signs of the morning finally started breaking through the veil of the night. He sat straighter as the early bird slaves started waking up.
According to his rough estimate, he easily deduced that the time was probably around 4:00 am already.
As they woke up, on seeing that he was awake before them, they greeted him respectfully before going forth to wake up their still sleeping companions. For their successful escape, they had to wake up early and be at their best.
This process was carried on for 2 minutes before all the slaves finally woke up from their deep slumber.
Seeing this, Morales gradually stood up. Despite the yellow mining slave work uniform that he was wearing, his presence seemed extremely intimidating as he opened his mouth to speak.
“My fellow freedom fighters, this is the moment of truth. I hope you are all reader to fight with your life for this one chance at survival”.
“All the plans and everything that we need have already been provided and planned, the rest is up to us. I expect to see us victorious today, are you ready to get freedom with me?”
“Yes, we are ready”. Hearing his words, the slaves all echoed as their emotions started getting riled up.
“Good. That’s all I have to say, and that’s the answer I wanted to hear from you. Saying more words would not do anything, our fists shall speak for us. Get ready, we are going out in 5 minutes”.
After saying this, he suddenly raised his hand, holding the storm sword up exaggeratedly. “For our freedom!!”
“For our freedom!!” They quickly echoed back, while making sure to keep their voice down as they did not want to alert their captors.
Morales finally sat back down on the bare floor, prompting the few slaves to go and get their weapons from the hidden trench that they dug in the underground shelter to hide them.
After this, the ones who were acquainted with each other got together to spend what could possibly be their last time together.
They were ready to give their all, even their lives, so it was inevitable that most of them would die during the escape. Perhaps, the dead would be them, so they had to settle and conclude everything that they wanted.
As this went on, Lionel finally went closer to meet Morales. After bumping fists with him, he plumped down to sit beside him.
“Bro, where did you suddenly get this weapon from?” He asked in a suspicious tone while turning to look at the sword in his friend’s hand.
As a mechanic, his high intelligence made him very perceptive to high-quality equipment. From his knowledge, he was able to recognize that this was the best weapon he had seen in his short life, which left him shocked.
“Haha, I told you that I have my means”. Morales replied with a soft laugh while turning to give his friend a meaningful look.
Lionel sighed on seeing the look that his friend gave him. As supers, it was inevitable that they all had trump cards and secrets that they don’t tell anyone. He understood, so he just patted Morales on the back before standing up.
“I hope you are ready; we need the best you for this escape sabotage to be successful”.
“Don’t worry about me, try and prep the others instead. I have never felt so good in a morning”.
“Ok, I which ourselves Goodluck”. After saying this, he finally walked away.
Morales just shook his head on seeing this.
…
5 minutes later, all the slaves gathered before the door leading outside the shelter. Morales stood at their front with a solemn expression on his face.
After standing silently like this for 10 seconds, he released the breath that he held in before decisively going outside. All the slaves walked after him swiftly as they advanced like an army battalion going for war.
Thud!! Thud!!
Hearing the loud sound of footsteps coming from the underground shelter, the guards who were stationed at the door were puzzled as they woke up groggily.
After clearing their sleepy eyes, a bit, the sight that greeted them scared the hell out of them.
Hundreds of the originally timid slaves walked out gallantly with menacing expressions on their faces like soldiers going for a world war, holding dangerous weapons intimidatingly.
This sight only caused them minor impact despite the large number of slaves marching out. What really made them petrified was the strong energy presence being released by the slave who led this now obvious rebellion.
“Run, r…” The unit leader reacted quickly as he tried to order his fellow guards to run, but he was still a step too late.
Before his words could turn into the scream of alarm that he intended, thieves and night rangers dropped from the ceiling, while others came out from stealth.
The dozen nightwalker class holders did their job as they swiftly killed all the guards before anyone of them could react appropriately.
Morales did not bat an eyelid at the dead remains of the once tyrannical guards who originally took joy in bullying them, they were just insignificant cannon fodder that will not affect the outcome of their escape.
A wise one once said that a cool protagonist does not turn back to look at what he already destroyed.
Even if he was not a cool protagonist, he was a cool pugilist, so he had all rights to act the part.
“All of you stay here and wait for my signal, wait for the signal that will indicate the death of Chakra before engaging”.
After saying this, he finally turned to face his other 4 leaders that helmed the operation. “Lionel, Bigfoot, Tigerclaw, Hero, I hope you are ready”.
After getting a solemn nod from them, indicating that they were ready, he heaved a sigh of relief before turning to the thieves and rangers.
“Nightwalkers, this is the moment where I need your help the most. I hope you can cover our tracks. Good luck, for our freedom!”
“For our freedom!”

In the most luxurious room at the center-most point of the mining base, the leader of the base slept peacefully. As a beast-man, his sleeping posture was not the most decent.Grr!!Chakra spread his body like a rag across the large king-sized bed as his loud snores echoed across the room like rumbling and boiling water. His physique could only be described as wild.As he was not a human, most of the things seen as indecent to them were daily normal occurrences to him. His naked body twitched at intervals on his bed as the faint wind blowing into the room tickled his thick skin hair.All his burly muscles were clearly outlined, forming a stunning sight depicting immense manliness, but the group of people who were entering the room stealthily did not admire this. They did not have weird tendencies.As soon as he entered the room, the first thing that Morales did was to use his detect skill on their dangerous target immediately.---------------

We already did all the hard work of killing Chakra, now go and inform the others of our victory”.“Tell them to start the attack, tell them that victory is ours, but remember to warn them to follow the plan that we laid out.

Bam!! Bam!! Bam!! They expressed their wild excitement with actions as they recklessly attacked the guards with fiercer moves. A massacre began as they slaughtered the disoriented guards. The guards still could not believe that the elite guards of their leader were killed so easily by these slaves. They were shocked, horrified, and speechless. And where was their leader? “There’s no girl with Chakra, right? This is not the time; we need him now!” Despite their hopes, nothing seemed to be happening and their leader seemed to have abandoned them as they were massacred like chickens. The other 4 leaders, including Leonel, were tired, so they refused to join the

It only took a few minutes before Morales led his 4 companions back to the location of the mining base. After getting there, they found a good place to hide before laying low. A few days ago, when he was working in the mining base, he was surprised as the system suddenly gave him the E-Class mission indicating that an assassination was in motion against him. He was shocked on seeing it, but he didn’t panic as he was confident in his strength to survive any assassination from people below the Grade E superhuman realm. He knew that the assassins after him were not at the superhuman realm yet, because of his knowledge of the dungeon protectors’ strength at this stage. Only the head dungeon protector of the dungeon of madness was already at the Grade E realm. After knowing about the assassination agenda, he became more careful and calculative. What came as a relief to him was that the assassins were not unbridled enough to try assassinatin

After taking a few minutes to rest and recover his strength, Morales finally stood up to go inspect the 5 corpses that lay before him. Seeing him stand up, the others gritted their teeth and also stood up. The first thing that they did on getting close was to thoroughly check the 5 assassins for any dangerous substance, after this, they finally looted them. They offered the loot to Morales to take his share first, but he simply waved them off to take everything. He was the one who asked for their help, giving them this little favor was nothing in return. The only thing that he took was the pugilist pamphlets that the dead protector Davis took with him. See
The Clan Head System. CHAPTER 15: IMPLEMENTING THE PLAN.
Before the other escapees could wake up completely, Morales took Lionel as they went out to look for where the other 3 leaders slept. Convincing them was the pivotal link to making their plan work.Among the other 4 leaders that led the escape apart from Morales who was the overall leader, unlike Leonel, the mechanic with a slightly literate and refined look, the rest were mostly unruly and savage.The months and years of working in the mining base affected them in different ways.Tigerclaw was an Esper, he was a fairly muscular and cheerful young man. His ability is shapeshifting.Because of his low energy rank, he could not transform completely yet, but he could strengthen parts of his body during battles to grant himself an advantage.Like his name, his ability had the attributes of a tiger when he used it. He usually bragged to them that when his energy finally entered the grade E realm, he could then transform into a huge mutated tiger.

Though Morales already thought and went through his battle plan thoroughly, getting close to the hidden entrance of the underground dungeon left him feeling nervous. He inclined his head a bit to look at his companion. To his surprise, Tigerclaw was completely focused with a nastily serious expression on his face. Seeing this, he quickly came to a realization. “Yeah, why am I even afraid when I’m not there yet? With my strength, I don’t believe that I can die stupidly, I can escape if the situation goes contrary to expectations”. As these thoughts went through his mind, he quickly found the entrance of the dungeon. It was a grey metallic door with signs of rust already on it, but it was still sturdy from its outward appearance. Morales knew that a special enchanted scroll was required to open it, but he had alternative means. The entrance was covered with a bunch of grass originally,

Excluding genius Espers with fierce abilities like Tigerclaw, it was hard to find an Esper class holder that was a main attacking fighter. Most of them focused on support in their early stages due to their low energy rank.Unlike other classes, Esper class holders depend more on their energy. Unless they cross the grade E superhuman boundary, it was hard for them to fight to their full potential.That was what exactly was happening in the chaotic hall as the Esper class holders got relegated to support positions.Under the smooth leadership of Lionel and the mechanics, they slowly started getting the upper hand. Despite this, they were still tense as they knew that only a portion of the guards of the dungeon was in this hall.Due to the noise and commotion, they were sure that reinforcement was already coming for the guards.They were currently in a race against time. According to Morales, if they could get to the cages in the dungeon w

This act that they just started was an act of war! Inside the necromancy domain was like a dark endless void filled with chaotic space that kept on ravaging through anything that they could devour. It was now night, but the effects of the night here were amplified several folds. The extreme darkness, gloominess, and absolute silence gave this region the spookiest attribute that it could afford.

From the most important warrior to the least important, even the mysterious Elder Lorrain of the Clifford family were all present. Like before, Pirate Admiral Frenzy was the one who stood up to speak. He was seated alongside his fellow counterparts at the very front of the hall. Morales eyed these seats. With his current status as a Grade C- expert, if he revealed his real strength, he could easily become one of the higher-ups of this alliance.

Being contacted so suddenly by the well-known Frenzy Psychic, Morales experienced a rapid rush of emotions. It did not take him long before he connected this call to the achievements of his fleet in the just-concluded campaign.
