Chapter 551 Prison break.

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Adjacent to the cell blocks, were dedicated wing houses for rehabilitation and medical facilities. Skilled healers and therapists provide magical and psychological treatment to the inmates, aiming to rehabilitate and reintegrate them into society if possible.

These facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art healing chambers, spell-disruption devices, and secure containment rooms for high-risk individuals.

The 6th section was a separate section of the prison designated as a training ground, where inmates can engage in controlled combat scenarios, hone their magical skills under supervision, or participate in rehabilitative programs. The training grounds are constructed with reinforced barriers and anti-teleportation wards, ensuring that any exercises or conflicts remain contained.

The 7th section was the smallest compared to the rest. It was the detainment cells where people like Blake who were yet to be sentenced or set free were kept. Although way smaller, this area was closer to the entrance than the cell blocks and had all the necessary facilities for the detainees.

The final area was the High-Security Wing; it was located within the depths of Aetherhold Penitentiary. It was accessible only through multiple layers of complex enchantments and guarded by elite personnel. This section was reserved for the most dangerous inmates; the cells here boast additional layers of enchantments, reinforced with anti-teleportation and anti-phasing measures.

RING! RING! RING!

The alarms of the cell block rang signalling it was time for lunch. One by one, the inmates dressed in grey overalls and black Mana inhibiting collars began filing out of their cells under the supervision of Ash Corps.

Straight from the cells, they picked up their trays and stood in line for their lunch.

Unlike the Ash Corp and Magic school Cafeteria that warped the food straight to the tables of the workers and students, the technology wasn't implemented in prison. This was to prevent a compromised worker from secretly warping items hidden in the food to the inmates.

In less than 10 minutes, most of the tables were already occupied by the inmates. They were all eating peacefully until one of them noticed that the Mana inhibiting collar's red light had turned green.

"What the?" The inmate was shocked and began looking around, only to see that it was the same for everyone.

Almost instantly, other inmates noticed this and were now looking around, giving signals to others.

Sure enough, an Ash corp positioned above them noticed this movement and immediately tried to contact those at the control centre, but immediately a large fireball out of nowhere slammed into him, sending him flying.

Seeing this, the other Ash corps wasted no time sounding the alarm, while bracing themselves for combat until backup arrived.

…

On all floors of The Square, the alarms began blaring interrupting everything everyone was doing.

"The Mana inhibiting collars of all inmates suddenly malfunctioned. Everyone above the Champion realm is ordered to report to the underground floor. You are permitted to kill all inmates trying to escape!"

"The Mana inhibiting collars of all inmates suddenly malfunctioned. Everyone above the Champion is ordered to report to the ground floor. You are permitted to kill all inmates trying to escape!"

Without wasting any second, all Ash Corps above the Champion realm dropped all they were doing and made their way to the underground floors.

'What the hell is going on? How did the collars malfunction?' Just like everyone else, Camilla was beyond confused. Cities in the East were being attacked by the League of Assassins, now there seems to be a prison break.

This was no doubt the doing of the League of Assassins, the question was what was the aim for orchestrating a prison break.

…

At this time, Blake heard the pleasant bell from the walls of his cell signalling time for lunch. Having spent the entire time meditating he immediately made his way to his table and placed his order from the menu.

After that was done, he sat back and waited for the food to get warped to his desk, but instead of a steaming meal, it was a folded brown parchment that lay on his desk.

'Why will he just send in the map so openly, what if they see it?!' Being on high alert, Blake picked up the parchment with a confused look on his face just in case someone was looking.

On opening the parchment, Blake found the entire layout of the Aetherhold Penitentiary, with live feedback of the position of guards and personnel.

'Wow!' Blake was stunned, he had expected a map not this.

"It looks like everyone is in a hurry." Blake thought as he saw the dots on the map moving around the map.

Click!

While he was still looking at the map, he heard the door click and open. Not only did he not see anyone behind the door, but he heard the blaring sound of an alarm.

[He most likely orchestrated a prison break in the cell blocks to distract the Ash corps from constantly monitoring you.] The system said.

"Then let's leave here before they notice I am not around." Blake said as he released Ebony and Ivory from his pocket dimension and exited the detainment cell.

The Ash Corps made use of warp arrays to move all around the prison, and since most of their attention was subduing the inmates in the cell blocks; the corridors were empty.

…

Once the alarm had gone off, the prison had warped in more guards while requesting for backup from the Ash Corps in the Square.

The first to arrive were the Demigods in charge of monitoring and protecting the artifacts. They knew that if the inmates escaped the prison, they would be the first to be attacked.

They were immediately warped into the cell blocks, where they began to assert their dominance by ruthlessly dispatching all inmates in their way.

In a matter of seconds, they had obliterated tens of inmates, but that number immediately plummeted as inmates in the Demigod realm began appearing.

Inmates from the High Security Wing were appearing!
