353 The Dark Guild’s Mission Starts

“But now I need to get out of here before someone else shows up.”

I was feeling quite confident after I had snuck inside and completed my objective. I then quickly but carefully snuck back from the way that I had come.

The guards were still there, but they were not very alert. Even if they knew that they were doing some important job, it was quite boring to guard something for the night especially when everyone is asleep.

However, I didn’t want to make any mistakes and was more careful than before. I actually got scared when one of the guards yelled at the rat as I thought he had sensed me.

Whether it was the rat’s fault or my own, I was extra careful when keeping my aura concealed. I quickly snuck out.

After that, I quickly went back to my room excited. I had managed to disarm those Mana explosives and the Dark Guild couldn’t produce as much destruction as in the novel. I slept through that night with peace of mind.

All I got to do for the coming days was cater to Grizz and his gang’s needs. Every now and then, they would hit me and try to show their dominance, especially August who had suffered at my hands.

It seemed that he had regained his confidence and was making up for the cowardice that he showed when I had gripped his wrist and scared him off previously.

Honestly, there were times when I was going to unleash my anger, however, thinking positively about how this was to camouflage my ident.i.ty, I calmed down.

.....

Anyway, with them always surrounding me and bullying me, there was no suspicion that fell upon me. Maybe it was due to my superb acting or it could be because of Grizz and his gang making other people avoid me.

Anyway, it was going well for me and all I could do was wait for that fateful day when I could see Hiro and the main characters again.

It had been many days since I had come out of the Tower Of Obelisk and gained news and information about all that was happening in the world. Especially about Seraphine discovering Dual Art which I already knew.

I also knew that Hiro, Lisa, Sylvia, and Zion would get to attend her cla.s.s. What did surprise me though was Misha who was able to increase her power exponentially.

I thought that she might be able to achieve something extraordinary and even though she was not one of the main characters in the novel, I thought that she had pretty good potential. That’s why, I told my company to give Misha if she ever was searching for another Art.

Never did I expect that she could really grow to this stage where she would be competing with those talented main characters.

Anyway, I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse. Being this talented and being with the main character would always attract danger the same as what is about to happen. If she could get through it, she would have obviously become stronger, however, in case of a wrong move, she might even end up dead.

I was especially worried about Misha. Others were main characters and I knew that even If something happened to them, they would be able to handle it eventually. But it was different for Misha as she was not one of them. She was the same as me, an insignificant character though she had more screen time than me.

( Think positively! )

I said to myself.

Even if I found that the situation that Misha was in was dangerous, it might not be like that at all. The state of the current world is dangerous and she might even be in more danger. She would be in the future where the Devil would invade with their full force.

Therefore, her getting powerful should be a good sign. At least, she wouldn’t die easily if she met devils in the future.

I could also protect her if she is in danger. I might not be able to do that every time but at least when the Dark Guild attacks them, I could protect her if needed.

*****

Finally, the day when the Dark Guild would attack had come. I was also prepared for what was to come.

Moreover, I was really curious to find out how powerful Hiro and the others had become. From the news, I could see that they were really powerful and were continuing to grow stronger.

However, the reality is far different from what is depicted in the news. They might say that they were this powerful, they had done this, but it is impossible for them to determine their strength. Only by seeing them with my two eyes could I judge their power.

“Get Ready!”

Frey said.

She was in charge of 10 Rank-As and 10 Rank-Bs that were going to attack the Seraphine Training center.

The strategy was simple for this mission. Follow the command of Frey at all times. And there was also a second in command who would manage us when we separated from Frey.

The sub-leader was stronger than Grizz as his rank was A which is one sub-rank higher than Grizz. Grizz had no problem obeying him as his mentality was to obey the strong and rule the weak.

Other Rank-A had also no problem with him commanding them. Power was everything in the world and one’s rank would most of the time determine your power. Which meant the higher the rank, the higher the position.

Anyway, even if he was stronger than Grizz, he was no problem for me. The only opponent who could pose some problem was Frey and she also would be taken care of by Professor Mia.

“Hehe. Finally!”

“Those weaklings would have no idea what hit them.”

“I can’t wait to receive the bonus for this mission.” …

The Dark Guild members were pretty excited about the whole attacking thing. They were already thinking that the mission would succeed and that those people that they were attacking were prey in the trap.

One of the members was always communicating with the other Dark Guild team as they had to attack together at the same time.

We reached the area where Seraphine’s training center was and were waiting on top of one of the buildings near Seraphine’s training center. We were waiting for the signal from the communicator as well as a.n.a.lyzing the power of the barrier.

The Dark Guild had already investigated the area and knew about that. Frey has also already come up with the idea.

She could blow up the barrier if she wanted but she didn’t want to. If she used her power here, she thought that she might be decreasing her power before her battle with Professor Mia. So, the idea was to have 4 Rank-As use their strongest attack and break the area.

Those 4 Rank-As will then go secure the perimeter along with 10 other Rank-B. They had to make sure no one escaped and also to prevent anyone from entering the place.

As for me and others, we were capturing Hiro and all the other students that were inside the building.

Soon after, we got the signal from the communicator that all the teams were ready and we could start too.

“Good! Let’s begin the party!”

Frey responded excitedly. It was time for Frey to finally get a chance at beating Professor Mia, at least that was what she thought.

“Let’s go!”

Frey commanded.

-WHOOSH!

All the members followed excitedly. As a matter of fact, right now there was no force as powerful as them in the Human Domain. They had no fear and could do whatever they wanted.

-BOOM!

First, those 4 Rank-As broke the barrier protecting the place. Then the Dark Guild members split into groups as planned. We followed Frey and entered the building.

There were several people lying injured or unconscious due to the tremor.

“SURPRISE!”

One of the Dark Guild members said to them. I was also closely following behind them.

I could also see people lying there. Not only that, but the targets of the Dark Guild were also there. By that, I meant Hiro and others who seemed to be helping those people.

I involuntarily smiled. You could easily tell that time had pa.s.sed when you saw them.

Unlike the last time that I saw them, they had all matured and become adults. Zion and Hiro had grown taller and more muscular. They were even more handsome than they were.

On the other hand, Lisa, Sylvia, and Misha had blossomed into beautiful young women. Sylvia’s once lanky frame had filled out, giving her an enviable hourgla.s.s figure. Lisa’s long, flowing hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, and her striking features had become even more p.r.o.nounced. Misha, who had always been pet.i.te, had developed a graceful poise that made her seem taller than she actually was.

However, their physical appearance was not the only one that had grown.

[ “Insight Perception” ]

( WOW! )

I was genuinely shocked when I saw their ranks and stats. They were all in Rank-Bs with Hiro almost reaching Rank-A. They were stronger than their novel counterparts by a large margin.

I had no idea but they had experienced large growth when I was not here. They were really the main characters of this world.

Give them a few more years and they would become the strongest in the world!
