Creation System: Reborn As A Fantasy Worldsmith

Chapter 72 Preparing For The Raid





Below the message was also a small symbol that looked like one long line down the middle with two crossing it horizontally near the top.

"A symbol? Did they want to tell everyone who they were as a sign of dominance? How naïve, giving themselves away like that." Leon said as he saw it.

Alten was the first to speak about the message, "What should we do about this?"

Lyrian paused for a moment to think, while Leon replied, "I doubt this isn't a trap. They must think we're dumb."

"First of all, we have to move now. This place is far too dangerous for us now. Secondly... start looking for other hideouts while you're out." He said calmly.

Hearing this, Alten got slightly confused, "Hmm... why?"

Lyrian looked back at him, "We're going to give them a taste of their own medicine," he slightly smirked, "I don't dislike their gameplan, but I dislike that we were the victim of it, so we're going to beat em up and steal their cores."

Leon also slightly smiled on hearing this, "I like the idea."

Alten was the only one who didn't, since it would mean picking a fight with other kids which was pretty dangerous, 'Thinking on it... I guess it was them who picked a fight with us in the first place. They shouldn't just get away with it scott-free and expect us to do what they say like we're some plebs.' He said in his mind before retorting, "Fine! Let's get them back!"

After all of them agreed on this plan, they began cleaning up the place. They sweeped the charcoal and ash that was spread around back into the campfire pit, fixed up what was left of the tents and folded them back up, and also cleaned up any other sign that they were there in case they were being followed.

After doing all of this, they began walking in a new direction that Alten pointed out, "I remember seeing a pretty solid place to set up camp a few days ago when looking for cave entrances. It's like our old one, covered with large rocks, but even more hidden due to more rocks around it. On top of that, it's a bit farther away from the middle as well. Maybe that will lessen our chances of getting ransacked again."

The other two agreed to follow him and they walked for another hour or so before arriving near their destination. It was a forest of large rocks, which they carefully made their way through by climbing on top and jumping across the tops of the rocks.

Finally, Alten, who was leading the group, suddenly stopped, "This should be it--" He ducked down out of nowhere, alerting the other two to duck down as well.

"What? What happened?" Lyrian whispered.

Alten paused, his eyes slightly widened with shock as he spoke, "It looks like this place already has residents..." He said quietly as he saw multiple tents and a fireplace inside of the cove of rocks where he wanted to have their new base.

"What? Didn't you check if there was anyone already living there a few day's ago when you first saw it?" Leon quietly whispered to Alten, who quickly retorted.

"I did! I'm, sure there was nobody there. I think they must have moved in recently."

Hearing this, Lyrian paused for a moment, "Hmm... this might actually be a good thing. Look at that symbol on their tents." He said while pointing.

Alten and Leon quickly turned their heads at where Lyrian was pointing to see the same symbol that was written on their tents as well from the ransackers.

A light smirk appeared on Lyrian's face, "I think we've found our target boys."

Alten was delighted, his eyebrows raised in surprise, "Wow! What are the chances of that! What should we do? This is big news with a lot of possibilities--" He exclaimed quite loudly before being cut off suddenly by Lyrian.

"Hey! Shh, you are being too loud. Don't wake them up or finding this place will be for naught."

Alten calmed himself down, "You're right, I got too excited, I apologize... but, the options are many. What do you think we should do, Lyrian?"

Lyrian paused to think before speaking, "We need a base camp, how about we make one right in their backyard?" He smirked, "They will never check there, and we can always have an eye on them to do whatever we want."

Alten was amused at this idea, but also slightly nervous about it. "That would be quite the risky play."

"It will only be for one day, so there isn't much to worry about. When they leave to search for other bases tomorrow, we will do the same to their base as they did to ours, but instead of leaving a symbol, we will wait there for them ourselves. If they don't have cores in their tent, they will surely have them on their bodies." Lyrian said before beginning to dash across rocks to get to the back of the base.

The others followed, and they came across an open area in the middle of the forest of rocks 20 meters away from the base. It was in a perfectly secluded and blocked-off area, impossible to recognize.

On top of that, it was also in an area with nothing nearby but stones, so the chance that the kids would check it would be nearly zero.

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm The three quickly began building their camp. Although their tents were all messed up, they sewed them together with a knife and string to make them usable again, while just being slightly smaller.

"It's not like we are going to be sleeping in these after today anyways." Lyrian joked as they made the tents.

Although it was important, they decided to not make the campfire, since it would cause too much light and might potentially give away their location. That wasn't really a big deal for heating, however, since they could acclimate their body temperature with mana.

It wasn't a problem for cooking food either, since Lyrian had fire magic. So after preparing everything, the three finally dozed off, ready to raid tomorrow.
