The Fox Team works in perfect harmony, with each member knowing their role and responsibilities. The Black family vault is massive, with rows of display cases, shelves and secure containers housing priceless artifacts, relics, treasures and more. A scanned the room, the eyes behind the mask analyzing the layout, determining where they should begin their search. Since they have no idea where that "thing" is, they have to act fast. He whispered commands through the communication device in his earpiece, ensuring efficient coverage of the maximum area. "B, go to the east area. C, go to the west area. D, take charge of the central area. I will go directly to the safe at the back." A gave the order calmly. The team spread out and began to examine the various items in the vault. From enchanted weapons to rare spellbooks, to beautifully crafted magical trinkets, there was everything. Each one was of great value and power, but that was not what they came for. 'That's my purpose.' As I thought about this, I moved slowly in the shadows. "As expected, they didn't send their strongest members."
My eyes watched their every move, capturing the details that revealed their strength. My characteristic [Insight Perception] is working. These members are very quick and accurate in analyzing items, constantly searching. But their postures and the weapons they hold show that they are not powerful. They are not focused on fighting, but make a living by stealing, and they are professionals in stealing vault artifacts. Those members who are primarily combat-oriented may be focusing their efforts on creating chaos in the banquet hall to make the operation look like a terrorist attack when in fact it is not. Later, it will be revealed that Caesar has been kidnapped, but that has nothing to do with me. 'It's time to act.' I had been following them from the moment they emerged through the portal, which is how I found the vault's location. I started by moving in the shadows, hiding myself as much as possible. They are searching for something that, if exposed, will shake society to chaos, as well as the moral code of the top families. Mana Core Program. Simply put, it is a plan to use the human body as a source of energy. Inhumane acts carried out in pursuit of power. But this is not surprising, which superpower in the world does not have the ambition to pursue power and rights? Isn't the desire to unify the world the very reason why we humans wage war against each other? Therefore, those who are powerful, those who can change history, do not use the morality of ordinary people as a standard. This applies not only to ambitious people, but also to demons. This is one of the reasons why I am here. 'I will never let it fall into the hands of evil.' In the game, this is his first appearance, albeit in a veiled way. As one of the highest-level villains and one of the most dangerous, even if he appears in an obscure way, he has a profound impact on the game's story.
Once the incomplete [Mana Core] and all research materials are stolen, the demons will gain one of the most dangerous weapons in the game in the future. The Black family's research was temporarily stopped due to lack of talent in this area, but the demons are not short of this, they have a mad scientist on their side. It is because of this scientist that the research was completed, which will ultimately lead to great destruction. "Ah, I think I found it." As I was thinking about this, I heard a whisper in my ear and my eyes were fixed on the man in black in front of me. He pointed to a peculiar display case, a small smile behind his mask. This case had an exquisite design, and seemed to be the same as the others in the vault. His hands quickly began to operate. Click! After a few seconds, the shelf began to slowly rise, revealing a hidden corridor. “It’s right here.” The leader of the group, A, immediately came to the location they found. 'It's right here.' The energy released from the corridor was so great that I could even feel the tingling on my skin. 'It seems that the time to wait has come.' With this thought in mind, I slowly reached for the gun stored in my bracelet while hanging the dagger on my waist. Thanks to the bracelet's unique property of not being detected, I can carry whatever weapons I need, as well as a jammer to block out external signals. This is the most critical part of the plan. "Let's go." Leader A signaled the other team members to keep moving forward, and this action became my signal to act. 【Eye of Time】 I activated my skill [Eye of Time], and time around me began to slow down, and I felt the world slow down. I assessed the situation in this silent time. 'It's time to act.' I lock onto one of the weaker intruders, the one who discovered the hidden corridor. They're momentarily distracted, and I seize the perfect moment. Taking a deep breath, I aim the silenced gun at the target, steadying my hand as I channel my mana into it, and fire. call out! The sound of a silenced gunshot echoed in the vault. However, I fired the second shot without hesitation. call out! My body was also moving slowly, but thanks to my skills I could process everything around me very quickly. puff!
When I released the skill and time returned to normal, the sound of blood splattering was heard, followed by a muffled sound. "Well……" The weaker intruder fell with a bullet hole in his chest, and A gritted his teeth, feeling the wound in his shoulder. The bullet hit the target but did not cause fatal damage. It seems that A is a higher-level awakener. 'I knew it would be like this.' As the leader of the vault-stealing team, ordinary bullets, even if infused with magic power, cannot kill him directly. whoosh! Before A could react, I moved quickly and drew my dagger. I closed the distance between us at an amazing speed. A turned to fight, and the surprise under the mask was hard to hide. 【Eye of Time】 Time slowed down again, and my skills allowed me to see A's weaknesses. With the effect of the skill and my own unparalleled speed, I quickly aimed at the vital point and prepared to make a fatal blow. And all this only lasted for a second, and my mana consumption was very high. "D." A whispered into the headset, and at the same time my dagger attacked him. clang! In that instant, his sword rose quickly and accurately blocked my attack. His training and experience were obvious, and he skillfully neutralized my attack. 'He is much more professional than the other three.' Even though his strength was not that great, the way he blocked my attacks showed that he had at least reached the level of an academy student, which posed no small threat to me. whoosh! But I still have the upper hand. 'He's injured.' I used this to my advantage and moved more smoothly and decisively, aiming for the spots where he was vulnerable. whoosh! A tried to remain calm, but my continuous attacks put him on the defensive. He dodged and blocked my attacks skillfully with quick and precise movements. Every attack I made was quickly responded to by him, and he used his sword to defend and attack. But even so, his physical strength was clearly beginning to fail. clang! "Well……"
Blood spurted from his mouth as he blocked another of my attacks. My attack put a huge strain on his body. whoosh! At this moment, I sensed an attack coming from the side. With my [Perception] ability, I detected the presence of the projectile. whoosh! I quickly dodged the attack, which was a compressed bolt of lightning. Sizzle! It flew past my face and the bolt of lightning struck the wall. “Tsk.” The other two have arrived here. Crack! 'Electric elements are troublesome.' One of them was manipulating the electrical elements around him, while the other was wrapping his sword in mana. They are here to support A, but I don't intend to let them succeed. I pulled a smoke bomb from my bracelet and quickly threw it to the ground. puff! The smoke bomb hissed, releasing thick smoke that quickly enveloped the entire vault. Thick smoke obscured the place, blocking their vision and throwing the invaders into confusion. "What?" "Be careful." I could hear them, and my trait allowed me to see more clearly even through the smoke. Activating my [Shadow], I concealed my presence, moving quickly, and picked up my gun again. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Bullets penetrated the thick fog and fired continuously at the enemy. The invaders could only react instinctively and could not see the shooters clearly. The sound of silenced gunfire echoed in the vault, sending them into a panic. "Where is he?" Crack! The manipulator of the electric element releases a strong electric current. whoosh!
But before he could make a move, I was in front of him, gun raised. puff! It hit him on the forehead before he could react. "He's here!" whoosh! Another intruder with a mana-wrapped sword tried to fight back, but with my eyes, I could already predict the trajectory of his attack. The smoke obscured their vision, and they were not strong enough to handle the situation, so I easily avoided the sword's swing. prick! Then my dagger pierced his neck and blood spurted out from the wound. Bang! Bang! The invaders fell one by one, all brought down by my carefully planned surprise attack. But the battle is not over yet. A heals himself with a potion and immediately approaches me, the sword in his hand emitting dangerous magic power. As he lunged at me, we exchanged blows again. A's sword collided with my dagger in a swift and deadly battle of attack and defense. But I knew this fight would not last long. whoosh! As I swung the dagger, the dagger attack coated with red mana made A stagger. clang! He barely blocked my attack, but it threw him off balance even further. Bang! "Well!" Blood spurted out of A's mouth and he fell to the ground. "Uh…what did you do?" He tried to stand up, but his body was powerless. "Don't you know?" I slowly approached him in a calm tone, with the gun pointed at his head. “It’s poison!” "That's right." call out!
