Number One Dungeon Supplier

Dr Transquick came over almost immediately to see the ruckus but before he could make any sound in the attempt to protect his fellow Researcher, Tinda reached into his body and tore a patch of skin from Borat.

Naturally, he tried to fight back but Borat did not expect that the female Dark Elf that was choking him had so much strength within her that there was no way to fight back through usual means. He initially thought they would be weak considering their slender body and the nimble use of guns in the initial massacre of the assassins but now he understood that he had no chance against her.

The binds were biting on him even harder the more he resisted as if there were magical thorns penetrating his fur and skin. But the most painful was the patch that Tinda had torn out to show Dr Transquick of his betrayal.

"I believe you know this particular symbol?" Tinda said as she continued to squeeze Borat with her thorny binds.

"That's…that's the 49th Mage Company Insignia." Dr Transquick could recognise it despite the fur and blood around the broken patch of skin. He then nodded his head slowly and tried to explain that the majority of the Demon Rat Researchers were also in Mage Companies as well before they became his employees.

"Sigh, so are you saying that my Night Foxes need to do some culling before we are sure we will have no traitors in our midst?" Tinda questioned with a stare that demanded an answer immediately in order to taunt him.

"No. If you kill my employees, you might as well kill me too since I was a part of the Mage Company as well." Transquick said as he unbuttoned his coat and revealed the very same 49th Mage Company insignia on his right scapula. Some of the Demon Rats stopped their work and decided to show their insignia as a sign of trust for their Research Head too.

And this immediately gave all the Night Foxes the excuse to activate their magic eyes to peel into the Demon Rats' heads, vetting each and every one of them who had contact with the Mage General or had orders to assassinate the Demon Rat Researchers.

With Borat as their example, Tinda had already given explicit search terms for all the Night Foxes to check whether these Demon Rat Researchers were accomplices. While they knew that their search might not be as extensive as Kraft's, it should not be as difficult as the ones they were given in their exams where they had to face veteran human spies to dig out specific information.

Knowing the Demon Rat's history where brute strength and overwhelming numbers were the key to victory over the Northern Region, it was apparent that their level of knowledge when it comes to spying was akin to an amateur stalker.

With each read and double confirmation of the Demon Rat Researchers, the Dark Elves shouted the name of the Demon Rat and stated 'Clear' as a sign that there was no need to suspect that particular researcher.

Eventually, it all boiled down to Borat himself even though he was desperately hoping that the mage general was more meticulous to provide the backup group a backup group as well. Of course, with the last Demon Rat which they scanned considered innocent, Transquick had no choice but to accept the fact that Borat, one of his long term trusted employees, was working and backstabbing him at the same time.

"Blo…" Borat tried his damnedest to move his mouth. "Blow…it…up!" It was muffled but slightly audible as Borat attempted to stir the remaining mana within his body to force a self destruct, hoping to distract the Night Fox that was holding him down.

However, he had no idea that the Dark Elf right in front of him was superior in all aspects. Physically and magically, perhaps intellectual as well but it was never proven until Tinda who was welding magic at her fingertips suddenly closed them together.

It caused the binds that were holding him to turn into a ball of magic vines and subsequently squeeze him with a velocity and strength that outmatched being hit by the speed of a racing car. His self destruction sequence had initiated but it was contained within the magical ball of vines.

All the Demon Rats could see was a flash of light emanating out of the ball and subsequently, blood dripping out of it. Dr Transquick sighed but told the rest to work hard to move all the items into the portals immediately. The rest of the Night Foxes were feared by the researchers but the researchers were doing their best to remain calm while working hand in hand with their new allies.

It was a brutal show of force but Tinda deemed it necessary although Narris begged to differ. No doubt, all of this were also transmitted in real time to Kraft as he watched it live via the System channel as he trampled the mages who attempted to murder him.

Evidently, the Devil himself was enjoying the show more than he should, knowing that the Night Foxes, especially Tinda had made the right choice to show her might against the Demon Rat Researchers.

"After all, they are going to be mine. Then we will show Jin's Science Branch that Kraft's sciency rats are better than theirs by miles… Heheh not to mention all the experimental gadgets they could allow me to use and then I might be able to have a rematch against Jin to have a clear victory." Kraft giggled to himself as he started to plan a list of agendas for his new science team while he massacred the rest of the mages that popped up.

Whether he forgot it or not, Jin and the System were watching him and his team the entire time. He was relieved that more Birth Mothers were rescued as well as having the corpse catcher technology available for analysis. However, he was a little mixed in the opinion of allowing Kraft to have his very own research team.

"But it could be a good thing…considering how he always pesters Ayse and Weslie to make something crazy for him and delays the rest of the science branch's main priorities. Besides, some competition might be healthy for the development of the store." Jin thought to himself and also started to think about what he could do for the coming future.
