Greenie had managed to get enough exp to level up thanks to them killing the demons. Reign nodded at the status screen in front of his face before removing it while they made their way back to the cave.
The trip took them a couple of minutes, but they were lucky and didn't encounter any monsters on their way. Upon entering the cave, Tank sat down and leaned against a wall as Laura continued healing him.
As for Reign, he quickly brought up the construction menu before choosing to build the portal.
[ The construction will cost 60 000 S Coins, are you certain you wish to continue? ]
Reign quickly answered with a yes as 60k S Coins were expended in order for the portal to be created. The portal was put at the very end of the cave and soon after it was created, it rippled as Cameron and the others arrived through it.
"I guess the smiths managed to finish on time?" Reign asked as Cameron and the others nodded before they took out the two large doors and plates from their spatial rings. Upon seeing the items, Reign smiled before everybody quickly started to work.
The doors were 3 meters high and 2.5 meters wide, the thickness of the doors was 10 cm and they were incredibly heavy. Greenie and Wolf quickly grabbed one of the doors before making their way outside. To install the doors was a relatively easy thing to do thanks to the elven smiths that knew that the doors would be used outside in the wilderness.
Wolf and Greenie simply had to put the door in place before channeling mana into it, the mechanism on the sides of the door would then activate, drilling holes in the rocky wall by itself before latching onto it.
The whole process took about 20 seconds and the only thing Greenie and Wolf had to do was hold the door. They quickly grabbed the second door and did the same while Reign and the others started putting the plates over the crevice, fully blocking it.
Since Reign and the others had told the smiths what they needed both the doors and plates for, the elven smiths decided to go all out in order to make it as easy as possible to install them. The plates and doors were actually connected as both the doors had a 10cm deep opening in the upper part for the plates to be embedded in. The opening was about 5cm wide and one side of the plate could fit in there perfectly.
The plates themselves had the same thing, one side of the plates was thinner and would get inside the opening on the other side of a plate. The plates were also incredibly flexible and could be put on any surface before one would channel mana to harden it, the plates would then harden, their lower ends, which were embedded in would broaden a bit and make it impossible to take out while the left and right side would do the same as the door, make holes in the wall before latching onto it.
The whole design was incredible and the only thing Reign and the others needed to do was simply put the plates in place and hold them whilst channeling mana. In a mere 4 minutes, the doors and plates were installed and the crevice was fully covered. Another surprise, however, waited for them.
The door and plates suddenly started changing and in a matter of seconds they were the same color as the rocky wall around them, since the doors had no handle, they looked exactly like a wall themselves, perfectly camouflaging themselves and making it seem like there was only a rock wall there.
The handle was actually present, but it was inside the door. Upon putting a hand on the door, the door would open a small hole in which one could put his finger and pull the handle, making the door open. The doors were connected to the territory by the system and would only open for those that were members of the territory, or were given permission by Reign.
"This, this is even better than I imagined." Reign said as he marveled at the sight in front of him. He and everybody else would be completely fooled by the wall in front of them had they not known about the door, the camouflage it had was truly incredible. Even hitting the door would in order to hear the sound of steel being struck didn't work as both the plates and door sounded the same as when one would hit the wall.
"This makes it almost impossible for anyone to find the base, I mean, just look at this, the smiths really outdid themselves for this one." Reign continued speaking as he opened the door in order to get into the base.
The crevice was pitch black and one was barely able to see anything, after getting to the end, Reign was met with another rocky wall. The second door and plates were also camouflaged and anyone that somehow managed to enter the crevice would be confused by yet another wall in front of them.
Reign opened the second door and was met with the inside of the cave which was lit up. Multiple torches were put on the walls and it was fairly easy to see inside it.
"We should probably put a torch in the crevice as well, don't want people to hit the door with their head after all." Reign said as he took one torch before promptly entering the crevice and installing it.
"Much better." Said Reign before grouping up with the others.
"Alright, Aethion is getting info from the demons, let's check out what we managed to get from this guy though." Shadow and the others all looked at the spatial ring on the corpse's finger with great interest as Reign promptly took it off and inspected it.
He quickly started bringing items out and it only took a little bit of time for all of their eyes to widen in shock.
The demon not only had 1 trap but actually 3 of them, all at the same rank and power. Next to that, there were multiple consumable items that the demon had, some were bomb-like devices that would explode after one channeled mana into them before throwing it.
The bombs had enough power to heavily injure high-level Tier I enemies and would have definitely done a number on Reign and the others during the fight. There were also defensive consumables, some would increase the user's vitality and endurance by 40% for 5 minutes, and others would create a strong mana shield that would be able to block a Tier II attack.
The potions were similar to those that Reign and the others had bought before they attacked the orc base, they, however, had no need to use them against the orcs and only used up a little bit when fighting the giant ape.
Most of the potions were useless to them as they had hit Tier I, but they still had some of the stronger ones that even Tier I combatants could use. Compared to those, however, the ones the demon had in the spatial ring were of a higher grade.
"Damn, I'm afraid that if not for Shadow attacking and killing the demon so quickly, we might have been seriously injured or even killed thanks to these things." Reign said with a heavy face as the others all nodded in agreement.
"How the hell did he even have all of this stuff?" Shadow asked as he stared at the items. Just having one trap was rare enough, but to have all of these items was simply incredible, Shadow found it hard to believe that a demon that was level 56 had such an abundance of these items.
"Well, I guess we will find out after Aethion finishes up with him." Reign remarked before putting all of the items, except for the traps, into the group inventory.
"Alright, let's go ahead and install the traps before we start decorating the base, even though we have a portal here, doesn't mean we shouldn't try to make this place at least look presentable and livable," Laura said as she took the three traps and gave it to Reign and the others.
"On second thought, you guys install them, I'm gonna see what I can decorate this with." Everyone laughed a bit as they made their way to the crevice whilst leaving Laura alone with Cameron and the others who helped her out.
As they were walking, however, something happened.
Ding!
