<h4>Chapter 654: Aren’t We Supposed to Leave Someone Alive?</h4>


    The massive shockwave, apanied by the ze, had shattered the wooden walls of the second floor. Shards of wood and ss rained like a torrential downpour, and thick smoke billowed along with it.


    However, it was a fairly small explosion.


    The detonation point was attached to the wall, so the noise of the explosion was transmitted so clearly to the outside.


    This wooden building had soundproofing, defense, fire, and detection barriers. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to withstand Jiu Er’s charge. The yers didn’t need toe inside; they could have just set fire to the door, used long-range sound wave attacks, or used curses from the Soul Snatching School to control someone to open the door.


    However, the person who arranged the defensive barrier did not consider the attack from within. The soundproof barrier originally intended to guard against the Soul Snatch spell also prevented the high-level Fallens upstairs fromunching immediate support.


    That was why Jiu Er smashed the wall open with an axe.


    As the external walls, load-bearing walls, and load-bearing pirs were detonated, the weight of the building itself was enough to demolish this structure.


    With several crucial load-bearing walls already fractured, the building descended straight down. With creaking and groaning sounds, the building’s third floorpletely destroyed the remaining walls of the second floor. The immense weight and the inertia from the fall caused such an impact that even the third-floor floor and walls were mostly demolished. Immediately after, it continued its descent, crashing directly onto the first floor.


    The copsed building emitted a heart-stopping thunderous roar.


    The deafening rumble was enough to cause ringing noise to the ear and dizziness to anyone nearby, but unfortunately, there were no people in close proximity.


    Jiu Er and Lin Yiyi barely ran out of the range, but they still felt their hearts palpitating.


    It was a sense of tension and fear that would never appear, even when fighting a powerful enemy.


    Even when facing formidable enemies, they would think that “they also had transcended abilities”, so viewing the enemy as an obstacle to ovee.


    However, this scene was different.


    It felt more like a natural disaster, pure destruction.


    The building copsed right in front of their eyes. Forget about Lin Yiyi, Jiu Er was scared even though she knew she would not die even if crushed underneath.


    That was the fear stemming from mon sense”.


    Suuankou did not detonate from the middle of the room on the second floor. He controlled the explosive rune, etched it into the beams and walls, and detonated it simultaneously.


    It was called the “Explosive Rune”.


    It would maximize the conservation of curse power and st the wall most effectively.


    Coupled with Suuankou’s explosion technique learned from the Earth’s inte, he attached the rune to the concave surface of the building. With only three spells, this seemingly solid building was sted.


    The Explosive Rune was the signature Destruction Magic. Given its practicality, almost all Destruction Wizards of Silver Rank would set aside a spell slot to learn this spell.


    This required the wizard to have set up a specific phrase in advance—it had to be at least five sybles long. Then, as long as they inscribed this rune and remained within the perception range, they could trigger the explosion by reciting the phrase or using other spells to activate it.


    The power of the explosion was not strong.


    In fact, it was used to create items like “explosive cors” for controlling prisoners or to clear paths and destroy mazes. Its explosive power was enough to blow off a head or demolish a wall… but it was limited to that extent.


    Suuankou used three spells.


    Firstly, it was [Explosive Rune]. Then, he used the Instant Spell when detonating the rune, [Total Detonation].


    This spell could trigger all explosive devices within his perception range and amplify their power. It worked on bombs without detonators, other people’s explosive runic inscriptions, or other interactive spell constructs.


    It was primarily used to detonate the grenade in the enemy’s hand or to detonate the gunpowder in the barrel. Excessive explosive power could instantly paralyze the opponent’s firearms and cause the opponent’s firearms to go off.


    As for the advanced profession, Saboteur could also learn the exclusive spell called [Wandering Rune]. That was the third spell Suuankou cast.


    The user could prepare five runes in advance and store them at his fingertips. As an instant action, the stored rune could be released and moved by thought to somewhere within the user’s perception.


    Strictly speaking, this was not a spell of the Destruction School.


    It was closer to the techniques unique to the profession of “Lurker”.


    Lurkers above Bronze Rank could use techniques to create clones or dense fog, remotely control the movement of objects, or dispel other people’s traps or spell traps.


    Combined with his creations, this crafty abilitypensated for the biggest drawback of the Saboteur’s spells – their ck of flexibility.”


    The only imperfection was that the fragments of those buildings were blown outside.


    However, Suuankou was not a professional after all.


    Even withpletely targeted explosives, he still didn’t bother calcting the specific yield needed for the explosion. Fortunately, he wasn’t a true professional demolitions expert. He didn’t need to worry about whether the yield was too high.


    After the explosion, his mission was done.


    Of course, the problem of identally injuring friendly units was still unavoidable.


    However, Suuankou expected this issue.


    Ordinary Destruction Wizard could hurt an ally just by throwing a fireball. Thus, he didn’t think that burying his teammates under the building he detonated was an issue since the fireball incident wasmon.


    Considering teammates weren’t buried in the building, it became so much safer than throwing fireballs!


    Seeing Suuankou walk confidently out of the building, wearing a cool expression and pulling on his gloves, the horrified looks on Lin Yiyi and Jiu Er’s faces still hadn’t faded.


    “Damn it, you scared me to death.” Lin Yiyi held her chest with lingering fear.


    She couldn’t help but scold and punch Suuankou.


    “You brat…”


    “Wait a minute,” Suuankou said, dissatisfied, “I’m saving the situation, sister!


    “My profession as a spell caster relies on environmental damage to make a living! Do you think the environmental damage is not enough? I have already gained more than 20 kill prompts. We could be overwhelmed if they alle down from the upstairs.”


    It was different from the grunt downstairs.


    The Fallens upstairs were not low-level.


    At worst, they were in Bronze Rank and above… plus the Fallen Path had a lot of advantages in the early stage, and the fighting style was novel. After they arrive downstairs, the party might not be able to defeat them.


    “I only have one question…”


    Lin Yiyi spoke hesitantly, “Aren’t we supposed to leave someone alive?”


    Suuankou’s body froze when he heard this, and he was silent for a moment.


    He forced himself to calm down and replied, “Don’t panic. Let’s check if there is any document or record.”


    “You really forgot about that, right?”
