The sun rays were coming from the window, hitting the face of Kaylen. She woke up bit by bit.

Sleep efficiency is now level 10. You know only need 4 hours of sleep.

Runic mind cores are now 62.

A knock came from the door. When the bartender came in, she had a tray in her hands with food on it. "Eat and get ready. We will start our first mission in thirty minutes. Be ready until then." She left the tray on the bed and left the door. Kaylen studied the loaded tray. There was a mug of milk, two toast and a bowl of mashed potatoes and utensils. She ate the whole thing and drank the milk. She then wore her clothes, took the tray and went down to the bar. The bartender was there cleaning mugs. There were no other people in the brothel, except the demons, that didn't do something. Kaylen left the tray on the bar and waited for the bartender to finish what she was doing. "Are you really going like that for the mission?" One demon said she had the number seven on her left side of her blouse she wore. Kaylen turned her head to the demon that spoke and nodded.

Succubus, 7, level 173.

Kaylen didn't know how she did that. She only wanted to look at the demon and know how strong she was. That was the trigger to open the blue box. She then looked at the bartender. She had the number fifty on her and though the same thing as before.

Succubus, 50, Bartender, level 35.

Kaylen then asked the bartender. "What do the numbers on your clothes mean?" The bartender kept cleaning the mag, and when she finished, she spoke. "The lower the number, the stronger." And then return to clean another mug, and she added up. "We will leave when one comes back. Until then you can do whatever you like. Just don't destroy anything okay?" "Okay."

Kaylen went to a couch and used the martial art skill she had. 30 minutes later the 'one' came back. And her skill was now level 3. Kaylen looked at 'one' to learn her level.

Succubus, 1, level 312.

"I have the list with the names that Alica wants dead. There are three hundred soldiers. But today, we will focus on one group only. In that group, I spot three nobles going for essence hunting with 40 guards around them and more of them at the back. We will have to kill everyone and let no one warn the guards, in their group, they have two people with strength close to 7. Now, change to real forms." The 'one' said and changed to her real form, and so did everyone else. The level corresponded to the sexiness they had in their demonic form and strength. All of them now had tails, were ten cm on average taller, had horns bigger than before, and the blue hue of their skin was now red. They wore close to nothing, only on the private parts and breasts they had something to hide it. And they were emitting pheromones that made people want to sexual intercourse with them, man or woman. It even affected Kaylen, but her brain shut it down.

"Now, I will cast an invisibility spell on us, and move out of the gate and into the jungle they went into." It was again 'one' who spoke. She then created runes in the air, and the runes floated around the group, even Kaylen. When 'one' finished the spell, everyone was transparent. "Now, we leave, but make sure to not make many sounds. I created a sound nullifier spell too, but don't count on it. It was my first time." Said 'one' and made a signal with her hand for everyone to follow her. Kaylen moved with the group around the city, no one could see them, and no one could hear them. Kaylen saw many new things while they moved closer to the gate. She saw blacksmiths, tailor shops and many other that had signs, and others who did not. She heard and many new sounds too. Like the ringing of swords colliding with each other, kids moving happily around play with each other, and many other things.

When they were in front of the gate, they waited in a corner because there was a line of people wanting to get into the city. Everyone was following the commands of 'one'. They waited for some time until there was an exchange going on with the guards and the people that wanted to go in. 'One' gave a signal for them to move out. They successfully left the city without the guards noticing them.

They moved farther away from the gate until they were in front of the vast jungle. "I saw them going inside the jungle, but nothing else." 'One' said in a low voice. Then, they moved too, inside the jungle. "Try to look for a trail of something. There should be somewhere here." 'One' added, she and everyone was looking at the ground for trails that could help find them. Kaylen looked at the others, and she too looked at the ground for anything that could help find them. "I found something!" One succubus said while she signaled with her hand for them to come closer. She had found the trail. There were many footprints from humans with heavy equipment. They followed the trail until they heard voices and a ground moving. "Those are the people we have to kill. Wait for more info here. I will check how many people they have, and maybe learn why they need so many." 'One' said, and left the group. Trees were everywhere, and she used them to her advantage and as an advantage point and for her to count heads. A few minutes later, she was back. "They are heading to a new dungeon that has formed a kilometer into the jungle. There have close to three hundred people. Our targets are the nobles, but we will kill every. We will wait for them to go into the dungeon, and kill them with traps, understood?" Everyone nodded their heads and followed the crowd of soldiers.

The soldiers stopped at the front of the dungeon and set up camp. From what 'one' had learned was that the nobles were hungry and that they were exhausted. "Now we kill them when someone of them goes for scouting or other bodily needs we attack them" They waited for a few minutes until a guard left to do his thing. 'One' moved closer to the guard, but before she could strike him with the talons that she made of her hands, Kaylen stopped her. 'One' looked at her with rage visible in her eyes, but before she could say something, Kaylen looked up on tree branches. 'One' followed the gaze of Kaylen's and saw that there was another guard watching. 'One' patted Kaylen on her shoulder and left. With agile movements that could have killed a human, she was up on a tree close to the second guard. She decapitated him, and another demon did the same to the other guard. They both worked with flawless teamwork. 'One' came to Kaylen and gave her a warm smile and said. "Good job there newcomer, if you hadn't warned me, we could have probably lost our targets. I will do what you want me for a night. Just ask." Kaylen nodded and then went back to looking at the cuts that the demons had made on the soldiers. She wanted to learn how the had made so good and clean cut with only her talons. She made simulations on her head that took less than a second, using the dagger she had to make such a good clean cut, but she never succeeded in making such a cut. Something in her head was saying level up the dagger mastery. And that was true. She remembered when she had unlocked the skill. She was able to make better use of the dagger than before. "Kaylen stopped spacing out, and move with us." 'One' said. They were again close to the crowd, and 'one' even closer to hear what they were saying. She came back and spoke. "They know that someone followed them, but they don't know how many and who. We will wait for more of them to scout and keep killing them."

Something like before happened, a guard left the group and two more other followed him a little later. Again Kaylen spotted them with her skill, and 'one' kept giving her promises. But this time, they kept one of them alive. 'One' had said to let him alive for extraction of information. 'One' used a spell for memory reading and found out why they were here and how they had found that someone was following them. The latter was easy to understand, they had seen more footsteps on the ground and grass. And as to why they were in this place was because a grand mage of the leading nobles had sensed a violent fluctuation in the mana near here. And he genuinely believed it was an item that was undoubtedly created from pure mana. "If everything is right, that means we can get the mission done, and have a new item for Alica." 'One' spoke again, she was happy with what she had found. More and more soldiers searched for the mysterious deaths of their people. But they didn't even found a single body because a demon had them all burned.

The nobles had enough of this and said to move into the dungeon. Most of the soldiers were against the idea of going into a smaller space, but alas, they couldn't do anything but follow the orders. They were now inside the dungeon. Turtle monster with sharp teeth and eight eyes were constantly spawned randomly around the group of the soldiers, while the group with the demons watched the show. The space they could move around was big, at least fifty soldiers could be put together in a row and still have enough space to do complex maneuvers. They had lost a few soldiers, but those that had died were the weakest of the group. Both groups moved deeper into the dungeon until there was a hundred meter tall and thirty meters wide door stopping their advance. "This is the boss room. But the door is bigger than usual, strange." Murmured 'one' while the other succubi did the same. The nobles shouted at the soldiers to push the door open. There was excitement in their voices, and they kept repeating 'this is it'. The soldiers gave a hard push on the door, and little by little the colossal door started to open. What the saw left them with their mouths open. There was a big throne at the end of the room, while gold coins could be seen everywhere, gold armors, weapons, staffs, skeletons, and even other humans, everything was golden. At the throne was a big four meters tall green orc with four arms and muscles bigger than it's head and it's hand had a double-headed ax. Every succubus murmured lewd thing to each other. While the soldiers were trembling from fear.

The orc shouted at the people. "Come you, little pesky humans! Come and make me work for the kills!" The orc said with a hideous smile on its face. It stood up from its throne and moved closer to the group of soldiers. The nobles were shouting at the soldier to go ahead and fight it. Kaylen looked at the orc and thought how strong it was.

Orc of the fourth arm tribe, level 50.

It was an easy enemy if the soldiers worked together. But alas, that couldn't even be in need when they had three people that were level 130. The bost wasn't even able to give a fight before it was dead by the three strongest humans. When the boss was dead, everything from the room disappeared, and a door on the other side appeared. The soldiers gained morale again when they saw how strong the best soldiers in their group were. And now, with a bigger vigor, the soldiers moved on to the next floor. There were stairs going down, and every soldier advanced first and at the center ware nobles and in the end more soldiers.

At the second floor, the monsters that spawned were big ugly trolls. With clubs on their hands. The soldiers this time had a harder time, more and more of them were ding every second, and more and more troll attack them.

Troll, level 100

Those things were harder to kill, and the nobles shouted for them to retreat to the first floor. "This will be our best shot to kill them all." Said 'one'. You could see the lust for a fight in her eyes. It was something new that Kaylen saw on the demon. The group with the soldiers had only 60 people with them plus three nobles. 'One' gave a signal for the other demons to make a circle around the enemy group and she started to count down with her fingers. When the countdown was over, she made a fist with her hand, and the spell broke. Every demon was visible except Kaylen. 'One' you that she wasn't even strong enough to fight a single soldier. She was there only to learn how they worked and learn. The demons then started to move forward with the now-terrorized soldiers. They had lost many of their people and now was their doom with those demons. Heads started flying around, cries could be heard from the soldiers and maniacal laughter from the demons. Red blood painted the floor of the dungeon and limbs and heads being the art around it. The nobles were now dead. But something strange picked up the skill of Kaylen's being was watching everything in the shadows, but she could see it at all. She moved fast at 'one' and told her. "Someone is watching is in the shadows, and he is watching you kill everyone." Kaylen said to the ear of 'one.' 'One' smiled and the flamethrower was shot from her hand around the whole floor; it even had the power to hit the roof of the floor that was 100 meters up. A burned body was found later, and the human was still alive. "Kill me you filth monsters. Everyone will eventually know where all the killing was coming from." "You are not useful if you are dead, not stay like that for a little longer, and let me read your mind." 'One' spoke. She made her spell and started to read the human's mind. When she was done, her face was full of rage and tortured the man over and over again, by healing him and then burning him alive over and over, until her rage was somewhat settled. She took some deep breaths and spoke. "There know what is going on and why. As I read his mind, I found that they have Alica as a suspect too. But they are not entirely sure why. Someone had seen her leaving the brothel at night with her rob, and the funny thing was because it was the same rob she used every night to go out and see us that they suspected it was her behind the attacks. We have to move and stay low for a few months. I will go to Alica when we get back." She burned the limbs and blood and then cast her spell for invisibility and they left the dungeons. When they were back in the city, it was only four in the afternoon. 'One' then left to find Alica and the others opened the shop. Kaylen asked for something to eat and 50 went to make something for her to eat.
