TOFD 327

Lucky 327

Berto descended deeper into the library. Usually, he would be alert in every step he would take, but the security system was faltering and he was not caught in a trap. 

This convinced Berto that the Ancient Library was indeed infiltrated and the enemies were currently stealing information and treasures. 

The floors closest to the surface contained casual information. The deeper the floor, the greater the information that was being held there. 

Berto was already close to the last three floors but he still didn't see any infiltrators. 

"The last three floors, huh."

He clicked his tongue. These bastards were too greedy and immediately went for the main dish, they didn't bother taking the appetizer. 

When Berto reached the first floor of the three, he indeed found dozens of people scampering around. 

"Hm?"

However, as he inspected the infiltrators, he realized that some of them were wounded. They were currently hiding around and waiting for the order to escape. 

The infiltrators were wearing full Battlesuits from head to toe and it was impossible to identify them. 

"Bishop Puti, when are we going to leave?"

One of the followers asked. His situation was better compared to others because he only had one gunshot in the abdomen. 

"We still have to find the clue about the Forest of Death. That's the main reason why we infiltrated this place."

Puti, the painter teleporter, answered. They already gathered hundreds of books and writings that might be connected to the mystery of the Forest of Death. 

"We are only facing one person so our situation is not that bad. For now, just contain the damage and keep taking more writings. Since we're in the deepest part of the Library, every book here has importance. The enemy might be strong but he can't kill all of us. Besides, we have a healer on our side."

"As you wish!"

The followers didn't deny his conjecture. Puti's explanation was well done and the followers steel their hearts and snatched more books. 

The Council of Torment had tons of treasures, but their weak point was their lack of intelligence regarding the lost era. 

They only know the history of the last 500 years, but the year over that was a mystery to them. Puti could use his painting to store the books. He was a living spatial storage. So far, his painting was already filled with hundreds of books. 

"So you're actually here, Puti."

A cold heavy voice resounded, and the always somber Puti was dumbfounded as he heard a male voice. 

"I always wonder what face will you have once I unmasked you."

"Hell Summoner!"

Puti was surprised. 

Hell Summoner might not be known in the public but his name was a terror for hidden organizations. He was a famous person in the underground society, his ability was frightening and no one wanted to face him. He killed many criminals. 

'I have to leave!'

When Puti realized that the Hell Summoner was here, he knew that this plan was already a failure. Puti might be a Bishop but he didn't have the power to face a monster like Hell Summoner. 

"Don't make him come closer!"

He ordered and the followers heed his order. They started firing their spells at Berto to stop his advance. 

Puti understood the assignment. He started drawing their escape route. 

Berto just shook his head. 

"Hell Term Attribute."

The spells that were flying at him burned to nothingness. Furthermore, the followers who tried to attack him in close combat turned into ashes. They didn't even have the time to scream, they just burned like that. 

Berto could see that Puti was making his retreat. 

'Puti has spatial storage. I have to make sure that he will never escape!'

"Back Room."

He used his second Term Attribute. 

The surrounding changed. The library disappeared and transform into a white-yellowish background of a hallway with paths. 

Back Room Term Attribute. Berto could summon the mythical Backroom and contain his enemies in this eerie place. 

On top of that, this Backroom had terrifying entities that could kill his enemies. Only Berto was safe in this place. 

"W- what is this?"

"Waarrgghh--!! Someone bit me!"

The followers were frightened as aliens, werewolves, clowns, SCP, Slendermens, and different creatures rush at them-- tearing their bodies apart and feasting on them. 

Some of the followers tried to run away. However, the Backroom was a place with no exit. Their end was nothing but death. 

This was one of the reasons why the criminals of underground society were afraid of Berto Alb. His ability could seal a person's life. This Backroom was like a Domain Expansion, a sure-kill ability. 

"... Tch, he escaped again."

Berto frowned when he realized that he could not see Puti. That man was slippery as always. 

To make matter worse, Puti had stolen hundreds of books. Each book contained information that was not open to the public. 

"Nah, the Principal can never hurt me anyway. Besides, I'm already retired and they were the ones who begged me to work again. It's not my fault if they let the enemies infiltrate the Library."

Berto justified. 

He looked around and confirmed that everything was over. He could hear a few screams here and there but he knew that the followers would never survive the Backroom. 

"The Backroom is a legendary place just like Hell, they both represent suffering and destruction. Any TA User will not last long here, even a DemiGod will have a hard time leaving this place."

The only way to escape this place was by defeating Berto, but Berto was untouchable because of his Hell Term Attribute. 

The combination of Hell and Back Room Term Attributes was like an impregnable fortress. 

"What is this place? Did I teleport to another place again? Earlier it was a library, but now white hallway with different office rooms. What the hell!?"

Indeed, what the hell. Calix survived the ordeal of Backroom. 

There was no expression on Berto's face as he looked at the person. 

The person was wearing a Battlesuit and his face was protected too. However, his Battlesuit was better than the other followers.

"Well, the Principal said that I have to leave at least one or two people to interrogate."

"The lighting is even yellowish-white, and what is this eerie atmosphere? Am I in a horror movie or something?"

Calix was clueless that he was caught in the Backroom, the mythical place that nobody knows.
