"Hahaha!"

After a burst of unrestrained laughter, Syura retracted his blood-stained foot.

He then turned his gaze toward the prison entrance.

"Cosmina, Enshin, come with me!"

"The rest of you stay here and suppress all resisting forces within the prison. If reinforcements arrive, hold them off until I return!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Syura's orders, the five combatants split into two groups.

Dorothea, Izou, and Champ continued to suppress the prison guards.

Meanwhile, Syura led Cosmina and Enshin deeper into the prison.

Along the way, Syura moved with incredible familiarity.

Facing the intricate maze of the prison, he navigated it as if he'd been there countless times, showing no hesitation whatsoever.

In fact, that was precisely the case.

As the son of Prime Minister Honest—a true scoundrel—Syura had grown bored of the capital even before reaching adulthood.

Like many other depraved nobles, he expanded his indulgences to include humans themselves.

Just like the family that Tatsumi once encountered, Aria's family.

Syura, along with many corrupt nobles, engaged in similar acts.

However, unlike Aria's family, who needed to lure outsiders into their home, Syura, being the son of the Prime Minister, didn't need any prior arrangements.

He only needed to visit the Empire's death row prison, where countless "materials" awaited his entertainment.

So, how could he not be familiar with his former playground?

Swiftly traversing the winding paths, Syura delved deeper into the prison.

As the Empire's death row facility, this prison was enormous, with a labyrinthine interior.

Without someone familiar with the routes, one could easily become lost.

These convoluted pathways were part of the prison's defensive system.

Unfortunately, this posed no obstacle to Syura.

"Cosmina, Enshin, stay alert to our surroundings," Syura cautioned as he continued forward.

"What's wrong, Syura?" Cosmina asked, puzzled.

"It's just... this place feels too lax."

"Lax?" Enshin echoed, confused.

"Not at all. Those guards we encountered earlier seemed quite elite to me," Enshin remarked. "If we weren't Teigu users and strong ourselves, we couldn't have broken through their defenses."

"You're right," Syura chuckled. "But that's only for common prisoners."

"My father was once the highest official in the country, wielding power for decades. Do you think he wouldn't have some powerful subordinates?"

"Impossible. So, if they were truly guarding against my father's loyalists coming to rescue him, they'd at least station Teigu users here."

"But there's nothing."

After hearing Syura's reasoning, Cosmina and Enshin, who had relaxed due to the ease of their earlier actions, tensed up.
