Chapter 58: The Raid!
A gloomy forest, full of hideous and terrifying man-eating monsters and a bone-chilling darkness. The sound of the leaves shifting against each other as the foreboding winds blew past the edges, gave off a dangerous and terrifying aura. Dark clouds hovered over the forest as the rain pelted down, giving off a spooky feeling. Deep inside the forest where the trees were sparse, and the wood felt lifeless and cold, were the ruins of the fallen kingdom. This was also the current base of the assassin organization and the target of tonight's mission.
A tandem-rotor helicopter landed inside the forest, completely hidden from any monitoring because of the stealth artifacts.
*Beep*
"Lily, are we clear?"
{Yes, Master.}
Within a few seconds, several people in high-end battle suits disembarked in proper formation. In front of all these veteran members of the guild stood a teenager in a black and red battle suit with an extremely solemn expression on his face. Beside him stood a black-haired beautiful girl wearing a light blue battle suit and had an icy cold expression on her face, barely suppressing her killing intent.
"Everyone should be clear about today's mission?"
To Luis' question, everyone gave their silent acquiescence. Everyone in the raid team is an elite of the guild and they have experienced a lot of things. Luis was also clear about this, so without any further ado, he said.
"Let's start the operation."
The next moment, Lumine's sharp voice sounded,
"Team Alpha to the West."
Giving a faint nod to Luis, she left with the Alpha team members.
"Team Beta to the South."
Jack's deep voice sounded as he also left with the Beta team members.
"Team Delta to the Northeast."
With those words, Ronald also left with the Delta team members.
Lumine, Jack, and Ronald were leading the Alpha, Beta, and Delta teams, respectively.
Now only the members of the Support Gamma team, which was led by Dellard and Luis and Alicia as the commanders, were left.
A minute later, tapping on his mana bracelet, Luis asked.
"Lily, is everyone in position?"
The next second, Lily's childish voice sounded.
{Yes, Master. Everyone is in position, but...}
Feeling the distress in her words, he asked with a frown.
"What happened?"
{The enemy is on alert.}
"Did any of them escape?" Luis asked tentatively.
{No, but from their movements, it seems they are planning an ambush.}
Hearing this, Luis' frown eased a bit. As he said with a sigh. "In that case, it's fine. It's too late for them to do anything."
Tapping on the communicator earpiece, he gave the command.
"Attack!"
As if answering his command, the next second, the sounds of heavy bombardments sounded.
*Boom*
*Boom*
The raid has begun.
***
Ronald bombarded the assassin's base with his advanced magic spells. Completely showing off the might of an S-rank Overlord Magician.
"This is what you get for harming my son!"
With a loud exclamation. Ronald chanted another spell.
"Ultimate Spell-White Super Nova."
A white orb of energy the size of a tennis ball formed above his right palm. If observed closely, the white orb had a special pattern on it.
"Take this!"
The next moment, a white light flashed, and a big explosion sounded as if a missile had hit.
*Kaboom*
What was left of the aftermath was a big crater and a part of the ruin was missing. Even the clouds hovering above the ruins were dispersed. Hence, the rain stopped.
***
*Kaboom*
Hearing the sound of the explosion, Lumine's lips curled as she shouted.
"They have already started! We can't lag! Let's show them who the boss is!"
"OOHH!!"
With a loud cheer, the members of the Alpha team rushed in.
The assassins have already set up an ambush to attack the infiltrating party. Normally they can easily take out a party of B-rank awakeneds, or even critically injure an A-rank. But in front of Lumine, their ambush was nothing.
"Heh! Small tricks~!"
With a sneer at the corner of her mouth and a ridiculing expression on her face. Lumine unsheathed her curved sword and launched a series of sword slashes.
"Aaah!"
"URGH!"
As their ambush failed, the assassins and the Alpha team were now in a fray. Lumine was moving in front, chopping those assassins and clearing out the way for the Alpha team.
"This one's for Maria!"
*Slash*
"GAAHH"
"And this one is for Luis!"
*Chop*
"AAAH!"
Venting her anger, and dancing in the middle of the battle, Lumine had already started a bloodbath.
***
On Jack's side, the Beta team has already killed a dozen of assassins. All the assassins they encountered had the strength of C and B rank.
'It seems young master was right. Most of the assassins consist of C and B rank and only a few are A rank.'
There were no S ranks on the assassin's side, so there was no suspense, and this raid was bound to be finished soon.
The strength of the raid team was overkill. But it was better to prepare in case of extraordinary circumstances. Fortunately, everything went as planned.
{Master, the raid is estimated to end within 5 minutes.}
"So soon?" Luis was a bit surprised, as this result was beyond his expectations.
{With Dad and Mom participating it went better than expected.}
Luis nodded with a smile, which froze a second later.
Raising his brows, he asked, "Mom? Dad?"
{They allowed me to call them as such.} Lily answered innocently.
Hearing this, Luis' lips twitched as he sighed a moment later. 'I should have expected this.'
Shaking his head, Luis put aside those thoughts and turned to look at Alicia beside him. 'It seems she heard us.'
Ignoring the cold expression on her face, Luis looked at her with a smile and said a simple sentence. "Our revenge has come to fruition."
Alicia had also heard what Lily said to Luis. Knowing that her mother's killers were being brought to justice, Alicia's cold heart couldn't help but feel blank. Hearing Luis' sentence, Alicia just had one thought in her mind. 'Is this it?'
'I have been imagining this result for all these years, but now that it has come true, why does my heart feel so empty?'
'Is it because I didn't kill them with my own hands?'
