"Maybe there’s an easier way," I said, walking the reers down it A third of the way on the other side of the corridor, h the stone "Aha!"

"Excellent work, Justin" Bella patted et there are oat"

"Are there really that many ways?"

She nodded and walked toward the fake wall "But one way is usually better than the others" She held a finger to her lips and vanished into the fake wall

I followed We’d gone about a hundred yards down the dark passage when the rurowl of what sounded like a wounded anilowing peepers I ht flickered from beneath a closed door The handle turned without noise and I eased it open Inside was a laboratory straight out of a mad scientist’s wet dreae stack of theainst the wall next to the entrance I saw a partially disasseray man strapped to a worktable in the corner to our left Metal cages, all empty from what I could tell, cluttered the back of the roo a three-di in and out to look at two groups of Templars, which looked like they were pinned behind one of the stone buildings in the courtyard He circled a group of vaer from one location to the other, I saw one of the vao to the location

Good god, it’s like a freaking video game

As Dash zoomed into another area, I saw inert bodies of black-arled with those of va and the vampire army I realized if I could take over Dash’s display, I could pinpoint all the enemy locations Not only that, but I could tell theive the Te theer at a huge Tesla coil in the center of the rooes as it occasionally gave off a burst of radiance in all directions

"Is that the source?" I whispered

She shook her head "No, it’s only a focus"

Another bellow of pain echoed fro, thanks to all the stone colu The bellow sounded somewhat fauarding hiht back to Yolo, Vadaee animal turned out to have more bark than bite, and I hoped Dash hadn’t captured the poor thing

Bella shrugged "I don’t know But whatever is powering the coil must be attached to it so across the floor and behind a thick column "It must be behind there You sneak up to it and detach the cables" She held a hand out as the tesla coil spilled another flash of energy into the air "Dash has attuned his focus, the coil, so it benefits only hiy If it’s not disabled, he’ll be able to replenish his y at a rate I can’t hope to compete with"

I nodded "I’m on it"

Hard-soled shoes echoed in the halle’d just corabbed Bella and pulled her behind the closest stack of crates

She whispered so us in invisibility, though it didn’t seem to be the case

"Why haven’t you moved our forces in for the kill?" said Maxi over Dash’s seat

Dash looked up at hiuess it depends on how many soldiers you want to lose They’re cornered but still dangerous"
