After waiting for three hours, everyone started putting on their equipment. They gathered briefly on the first floor to be given additional instructions individually. Zach and Upgrade have been wearing tuxedos, complete with ties.
“You guys look very charming this afternoon. You make me want to date you guys,” Violet teased.
“Shut up! If it wasn't for only me being able to mingle with those people, your plans would never have worked.” Upgrade fixed the tie.
“Okay. Time for us to go!” Everyone left for the rooftop.
Upgrade stopped them. “Wait, how are we going there? It's impossible if we walk.”
Captain turned. “Oh, I almost forgot! The car is just down the road!” He threw a key.
Upgrade catched it and saw the shape of the antique lock. The man understood and invited Zach to go. Violet went with them.
“I'll look for the nearest building to aim at,” she said as she left.
They headed to the roof floor to move to the Tanin warehouse. Elisia was already wearing the [Mask] and [Armor Suit Level 3] given by Risk earlier. Not to forget, her earlobe had [Communicate Radio Portable] attached with the cable hidden in her protective suit.
The girl's vision slightly disturbed because of [Mask] eye sockets that weren't wide enough. She was worried that it would interfere with her fighting performance. Elisia had taken out the [Fire Dublin Spear] which was held in her right hand.
Arriving at the roof, Captain Hans opened the lock on the stairs down the side of the building. The slightly rusty staircase slid down with a loud scraping sound. After stopping, Captain Hans started descending it, followed by the others.
Rhino let Elisia to came down first. The girl was a little scared because hearing the stairs hitting the wall made her worried that the stairs would fall. However, thanks to her body being smaller than her peers, Elisia passed the stairs producing no vibrations or sounds.
“Well. We have to hurry! We can't miss a single agenda!” Captain ran fast.
Everyone followed Captain Hans' movements quickly. Elisia felt her stamina draining since she last ran in Grasswood. She saw Rhino, who was moving slowly because of his low agility. Elisia wanted to wait for Rhino a while, but Dao asked her to keep running.
They passed through a narrow alley on the outskirts of the shabby and dirty Tanin area. A messy trash can, muddy ground, carcasses of dead animals, to strange people, she could see along their way to the Tanin warehouse. Elisia had remembered a few things about the law in Tanin, then thought that this was what caused the poverty in this area.
On the way, Elisia thought about her discovery few hours ago in [Telum Experto] about the [Greatsword of Sully]. There were several things that made her believed that the weapon was very strong for anyone to use. She would search for more once she retrieved the sword.
After a walk that took almost half an hour, they arrived at a high fence some distance from the main road. A rather large road greeted them, along with several garbage disposal doors. When they came, a garbage truck had just arrived.
Captain took out a [Walkie Talkie]. “Captain to Gunner, answer!”
“Gunner in position!” The voice was like Violet.
“What's the status inside the fence?”
The walkie talkie was silent for a moment, then spoke again.
“The guards are monitoring the garbage disposal process. I think you should wait a moment.”
“I know. There's a garbage truck coming. Several guards were guarding the surroundings. Tell Upgrade to take more time while finding out where the box is!”
“Roger that!”
Captain kept a [Walkie Talkie] in his [Combat Vest Level 3]. “We will wait until the garbage truck leaves. After that, Risk and I will start taking out the guards behind the warehouse. Then, you can move to the drain door.”
Everyone nodded. Elisia gulped in this rather dangerous mission. She noticed the garbage truck had closed the dump door, signaling that the vehicle was about to leave the place. Elisia looked at all the guards there with [Sixth Sense]. The level of the guards was mostly level 10 with weak DEF.
The garbage truck engine growl. Captain gestured by raising his fist up. Everyone prepared to move. After the garbage truck started moving its wheels, Captain and Risk moved over to the two guards guarding the truck. It hit them in the back of the head until they were unconscious.
After that, Risk helped Captain to jump over a high fence using his abilities. Captain had entered, followed by Risk who jumped high. Dao asked Rhino and Elisia to run towards the drain door. They stood by the door, waiting for the signal.
“Dao, how long will we wait here?” Rhino asked.
“Until the door opens and we all enter. Risk and Captain Hans will do everything.” Dao put his ear to the drain.
Elisia waited while watching the [Fire Dublin Spear] she was holding. Soon, her weapon would become a tool of destruction to kill everyone in the warehouse. A good chance to leveling up the main level and unlocked new skills.
The door finally opened, and everyone entered the building. The vast warehouse area with graded buildings amazed Elisia with sunlight from the west. Risk and Captain Hans approached them.
“The box is in warehouse number 5, next to the auction site. Zach is waiting for us there. Move quickly!” Captain Hans ran again.
They made quick movements again to look for warehouse number 5, with the last position being in warehouse 6. Elisia could only be followed where her friends were running without knowing their destination. Shee saw several guards on the other side of the warehouses, seemingly unconcerned about their surroundings. Elisia felt suspicious about this condition.
They arrived behind warehouse number 10. Captain Hans stopped everyone from moving, then peeked through the wall. The warehouse they were looking in across the warehouse street. However, they had to pass through the crowd of conglomerates who had been sitting in front of the warehouse unnoticed.
Captain gave the signal to turn around. Suddenly, a group of guards had intercepted them. Captain instructed his troops to stand in a circle. The guards had surrounded them from all directions, signaling that they had predicted their arrival in advance.
Elisia gripped the weapon tightly while looking straight at the several guards standing in front of her. She felt heat from the pendulum to her body, and something was different. Elisia felt that there was an increase in her stats; she checked the stats quickly.

Apparently, Elisia had activated [Overheat Substitution]. The girl knew that there were over two enemies around her. Elisia understood how to use it and hoped to destroy many enemies with this skill.
The guard advanced toward Elisia. Swiftly, the girl swung her spear into the enemy's stomach. Their defeated friend made the other guards came forward. Elisia swung her spear in all directions skillfully until she overthrew 5 people. Elisia paused for a moment, but an enemy swung a sword at her. The attack only injured her slightly, but the enemy took damage from her body.
“Ooohhh…, so this is the [Overheat Substitution] ability,” Elisia muttered.
Elisia's friends who also knocked out many guards. However, another wave of guards arrived. Captain sighed and took his [Walkie Talkie].
“Violet, tell Zach to get the weapon himself and retreat Upgrade from the auction place! We will execute the Aggressive Protocol!”
“Okay, Captain!”
Captain closed communication. “We have no choice. Time to execute the Aggressive Protocol!”
A good chance for Elisia to raised her level. She got into action by attacking several guards who were running towards her. Each slash of her legendary spear could slash the guards like the claws of a dragon. Elisia activated [Molten Flame] to increase the damage.
After most of the guards had been wiping out, Elisia had killed 22 peoples. The total number of deaths was currently 28 people. Suddenly, a rain of arrows fell from the sky. Elisia immediately jumped towards Rhino, followed by her friends. Rhino activated a skill that raised a large shield as an umbrella to block the rain of arrows.
From a distance, Elisia could see an army of archers about to draw another arrow. The arrows launched again and rained down on Rhino's shield again.
“We have to defeat those archers! My shield can't last long!” Rhino said in the middle of the battle.
Risk and Elisia stood before Rhino, waiting for the next attack. The arrow rain was back again. After the last arrow hit the shield, Risk and Elisia started running towards the archer squad. With [Overheat Substitution] and [Armor Suit Level 3], Elisia could withstand the attacks of the arrows flying at her.
Elisia successfully attacked some archers, followed by Risk which paralyzed the archers behind Elisia. Something suddenly attacked the remaining archers from afar, coming from Violet's Enfield sniper rifle. There was one more archer left, but his body bounced off being hit by Zach.
Elisia was happy to meet Zach again, followed by Upgrade, that appears after the attack. Risk smiled to meet his comrade back safely, with slightly messy clothes.
“Nice to see you again, Upgrade!” Risk greeted.
Upgrade looked at him flatly. “Looks like our plan almost failed.”
Everyone approached Zach and Upgrade with curiosity. Zach pointed to a long object covered in thick cloth strapped to his back. The man raised his thumb.
They heard footsteps from a distance. Apparently, the security forces started chasing them. Without a second thought, they made the movement back to the drain door. One by one, the team members got out of the warehouse yard, and Captain Hans threw a knife to activate the door lever. Deftly, Captain jumped into the door and ran out of the warehouse area. The journey back home became the final instruction to end the mission.
...
The exhausting mission was finally over. They walked back to the house on the same path and climbed up the same stairs. Elisia removed the [Mask] from her face and took a deep breath. This mission became one of Elisia's actions that used up a lot of energy in her life.
Elisia thought that she had already finished many guards. Maybe she would get a lot of bonuses from it. A message arrived in front of her when she wanted to enter the house.
“Battle is over!”
“Result:”
“Standard Guard ×28”
“Guard Archer ×17”

“EXP gain”

Elisia very surprised by the reward she got from the mission earlier. The extraordinary upgrade had made her level up to level 18. The expected new skill had been unlocked, making her curious and wanting to try it. However, she had to rest and adjust her hot body temperature since [Overheat Substitution] was active. She checked the stats to see.

Elisia laid down in the room while thinking about this new skill. Her whole body ached to the bone, making some of her limbs hurt. She removed the [Armor Suit Level 3] and [Communicate Radio Portable] from her body, then placed them on the chest outside her room.
Her eyes were little blank because of the fatigue in her body. It was hot in the room, and the sky outside was getting dark. Elisia couldn't think of what to do, even though she was very curious about the [Duetto] skill that had just been unlocked. This increase actually made Elisia confused in her steps.
“I wonder what my friends are doing downstairs. Maybe they're checking that sword.”
Elisia took out [Telum Experto] from her [Fire Pendulum] inventory to search for further information on the [Greatsword of Sully]. It wrote some information on it, and Elisia adjusted her sleep position to lean against the wall behind her.
From the contents of the book, Elisia discovered that [Sully's Greatsword] possessed extraordinarily destructive power. Almost any kind of defense couldn’t withstand the attacks of this sword. The ability of this sword amazed Elisia. It was true, as Captain Hans said, they would use it to go to another region.
However, Elisia read about the shortcomings of this weapon. [Greatsword of Sully] became a destructive weapon that was effective in breaking down enemy defenses, but using it consumed a lot of stamina and couldn't use as a duelist weapon.
“That means I can only use this sword as a weapon of destruction. Besides, l can only use my spear to fight.”
However, Elisia remembered Dao's words that the sword could only be touched by the chosen one. Otherwise, that person would be burned to ashes. This made Elisia think, who was the chosen one among them?
Out of curiosity, Elisia got up from the bed to approach the sword on the 2nd floor. The girl hurriedly descended from the stairs. Risk, Violet, and Dao, who were examining the [Greatsword of Sully] lying on the table, already greeted her. A slight heat felt by her, which probably came from the power of the sword.
How amazed Elisia was after seeing the sword up close. The shape of a long sword with one side of the blade, a lava ornament on the body of the sword, to a yellow color that glows like a golden gleam, welcomed her sparkling green irises. This was the most beautiful sword she had ever seen in her life.
“Oh, Elisia! I didn't notice your presence!” Risk turned around. “This sword must amaze you. Likewise, with Violet.”
“This is the most beautiful sword I have ever seen!” Violet praised.
“Yes, this is an exquisite sword!” Elisia chimed in. “But, how to use it?”
“Dao still trying to find. Since it can only wield the sword by the chosen one, the only way is for us to touch it one by one.”
Violet surprised. “What?! Aren't we going to get burned if we touch it?”
“That's true, but we have no choice. Captain Hans has also planned to use this sword as a weapon of destruction to take us to another region.”
“I'm going to meet Captain!” Violet left with her emotions.
Dao looked back at the legendary sword while holding his chin. Elisia also joined Dao to observe the sword. She reopened [Telum Experto] to wield the sword. There was nothing she could find other than the same information she had read.
“If no one can wield that sword, how are we going to use it?” Risk curious.
“Dao questioning the same thing. Dao will ask Upgrade's opinion on this.” Dao went to Upgrade’s room.
“Then I want to take a walk in the city. Do you want me to buy you coconut pancakes like yesterday?”
“Yes!” Elisia answered happily.
“Okay.” Risk also went to the 1st floor stairs.
Elisia still wanted to know more about [Greatsword of Sully]. She held [Telum Experto] and looked at the sword.

.
There was still no information that could get from it. Elisia confused herself with this legendary sword. She wanted so badly to touch the sword to be sure, but her life could end right here. A dilemma haunted Elisia, who was curious about the sword's abilities. Her throat was slightly dry from being near the sword. A glass of water could probably wet her mouth.
When turning around, Elisia's feet accidentally kicked the slightly weathered table leg. The table leg broke and made the table tilt. The [Greatsword of Sully] that was above it shifted from the table. Reflexly, Elisia caught the legendary sword from falling to the floor.
The sword saved, but Elisia realized her hand was holding the [Greatsword of Sully]. Elisia's body felt hot, and the sword emitted a bright light. Her heart started beating quick and her forehead was sweating profusely. The light grew so bright that it blinded the eyes and filled the room. Elisia felt a power flowing from the sword.
Everyone in the building who sensed something was wrong on the 2nd floor immediately rushed to the location. They shocked and couldn't believe what was in front of them. Elisia, who had closed her eyes since earlier, also surprised. Because her hand was holding the [Greatsword of Sully] with no injuries.
