Chapter 138 - Special Task Force ( 2 )

There are 15 members of the ASTF and 5 Teutonic Knights in this group.

As soon as they entered, Old Huan quickly advised everyone to cooperate with the officers and there's nothing to worry about.

"We will do a quick inspection. Once you're cleared, you can go outside!" Jacques announced and this immediately calmed down the crowd.

"We will cooperate!"

"Please, start with me."

"I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hit and run that kid! I'm actually planning to help him after the recruitment… I swear I'm not running!"

Suddenly, one of the applicants confessed his sin.

Perhaps, because the ASTFs are carrying high-caliber guns, he decided to just give himself in instead of being forced to surrender.

After all, they might decide to "accidentally" shoot him in his head if he acts like he was fighting the arrest.

"Oh? Someone take this man outside and hand him over to Corporal Lance." Jacques didn't think too much of this confession as he was focused on finding any suspicious person inside.

"Yes, Sir!"

After this small incident, they continued their operation and looked for their real targets.

"We should hurry… I think that they found out about your crimes." Cyril frowned after seeing the ASTF entering the building.

"Fine, should we forcefully do it now? I'm ready to revert to my original form." Selma asked Cyril ready to force their way.

However, Cyril told her to just move quickly instead.

"They're still inspecting everyone below. It should buy us some time…"

"Got it! Let's hurry then."

The three moved swiftly to the upper floors. Since most of the elite Awakened went outside, they were able to move a lot easier… They only had to be careful not to activate the defensive arrays placed everywhere in the building.

"Cyril… I think that there's another A-Rank Awakened guarding the room." Selma suddenly said as soon as they arrived in front of the Crystal Storage Room.

"That's correct, Master… I only felt his presence now after getting near. They have arranged a decent concealing array inside."

"I see… It seems that they didn't just go outside hastily. They sent someone to guard the most important place of the guild."

Cyril commented after observing the large room ahead. He can't sense the A-Rank Awakened at all but he trusts the detection ability of these two demons.

"We have to forcefully steal the Entrance Crystal in the end."

"Yes… Supposedly, I can already connect to my Arcane World and return. This distance is enough for me." Selma said confirming that she can feel her Entrance Crystal inside.

"Got it… Magenta and Selma, I need both of you to destroy the entrance. Magenta, stop the A-Rank Awakened. Selma, point to me where the Entrance Crystal is. After that, assist Magenta… Don't kill anyone! Understand?"

Cyril gave his command.

"I'll obey, Master."

"I understand. Let's finish this quickly. I think those heavily armed Awakened are coming."

Soon, they no longer hesitated and started to deal with the fortified door in front of them.

Whoosh~

Cyril pulled out his weapons. It was his Giant Wraith Sword, Decimation Gloves, and Smoke Ring…

Because he connected to his Dimensional Storage Space, his Stealth was deactivated and the Awakened inside the room sensed his presence.

Magenta and Selma also burst with power, they did not waste any time as they waved their hands to destroy the door.

Boom!

An explosion occurred which created an aftershock… The building was shaken for a few moments.

"Who dares?!"

The A-Rank guarding the room was angered by the sudden attack. He thought that this will be a peaceful guarding mission but as he was resting, he sensed three unknown powerful beings trying to enter this room.

Luckily, he has an Artifact meant for a defense allowing him to survive the explosion.

"Die!"

The middle-aged man is wearing a complete set of Rank-B Armors and a Rank-A Lance as his weapon…

He did not wait for the smokes to clear up at all as he could clearly sense the three.

Ha!

He thrust his lance forward to hit the nearest figure.

Bang!

He hit the figure perfectly but his hands went numb implying the powerful defense of whatever he just hit.

"Hmph! Take this!"

The man then activated the skill of his Lance. It suddenly turned red with heat before suddenly spinning like a drill.

Lance Vortex!

The man surged with power as he pushed his Lance at the figure he just hit. He also sensed the other two getting inside the room. However, he doesn't have time to deal with them.

'Tsk! This commotion surely attracted Old Huan and the others. I just have to deal with one of them.' The middle-aged man thought as he concentrated on his enemy.

"Eh?" He finally realized that even after all of this, the figure didn't budge at all.

A cold sweat run down his back.

He quickly stepped back as he wanted to understand what's going on.

However, the other figure who entered the room didn't give him a chance to recuperate and was kicked on his back.

He was confident with his A-Rank Aura blocking this simple attack but he made a mistake…

Crack!

Two or three of his ribs were broken after being kicked!

Bang!

He crashed on the wall and wanted to cry in pain. Unfortunately, the figure in front of him kicked him on his jaw putting him unconscious.

"I found it!"

Cyril said and quickly destroyed the Array protecting the High-Class Entrance Crystal.

Clang! Clang!

Crack!

The durability of the Wraith Sword lowered significantly and it was even chipped!

"Ugh… "

Cyril frowned but still decided to keep it inside his Dimensional Storage Space.

He picked up the Entrance Crystal as well.

"Cyril, I used too much energy… I need to return now. At this rate, my body will suffer irreversible damage." Selma said as she waved her hand. This action removed the black energy covering her entire arm.

She can't kill the A-Rank Awakened so she decided to just defend and wait for Magenta to knock him out. In the end, she was annoyed by his cry so she still had to put him unconscious with her kick. She was also very careful with that action.

Well, all her previous victims died as she couldn't properly control her power. Though she's terribly weakened, she's still a "Destroyer" after all!
