Toziro, Putra, Bima, and Kamila got to work.

Putra, also known as Ace, was a famous archer in Estalia and a former sniper in the Yakanan royal forces. He was well-known for possessing an eagle eye that allowed him to see his arrow's trajectory in order to shoot very, very accurately. Rendy, also known as the Nerd, was the technological technician of the squad. He used to be the one that monitor the squad's mechs' conditions and make adjustments. He was also the one to recreate some of Yakana's technology from scratch such as the voice communication earpiece that they were wearing. But it took him years in order to recreate these technologies and as for weapons, he only managed to recreate some basic firearms that were outdated in comparison to what Yakana had. To compensate for the absence of sniper rifles for Putra, Rendy created different types of arrows that produce different effects for Rendy to shoot.

"Alright Putra, I need you to use the sleeper arrows on those five knights that are the farthest from us, near the entrance of the mansion....uh make that six, a noble just came out of the mansion. The rest of us will take care of the knights in the courtyard. Let's go Bima, Kamila...and let's put on our masks" Toziro ordered Putra and took off with the others.

Putra just nodded as a reply. He was a man of few words just like Kamila. Although Kamila was even more extreme as she hasn't spoken a word for years now.

Putra pulled out six arrows from the quiver in his back. The arrows had a blue gel layered on the tip of it, a poison that would bring the enemies to sleep. His bow had an intricate, somewhat futuristic design that was vastly different than the usual medieval bow. His bow was also shining a blue light as soon as he laid his hands on them due to the infusion of his battle force with the bow.

Putra calculated that the strong wind from before has subsided but there was still some wind left going towards the east—the mansion was in the north and he was in the south. Putra put all six arrows in the bow and aimed slightly towards the west and not any of the targets. Putra steadied his breathing and shot the arrows. 

(ZOOOOM)

A small sonic boom was created due to the force produced by the arrows leaving the bow—it was that strong. The arrows were traveling at an incredibly fast speed and were moving towards the eastern direction instead due to the influence of the wind. If one were to draw the lines of the arrows' trajectory, then you would see that it formed a sideways arc. 

"I'm sorry honorable noble, but what are you doing here in the back of the mansion?" A knight asked the noble that came out of the mansion. 

" *sigh* The party is boring. I came all the way here from Amstergard to win over any potential marriage candidate but none of them are interested in me" The noble said dejectedly. 

"Well...sir...I actually know an item that is currently very popular with Neversummer's noblewomen..." Another knight chimed in. 

"What is it!? I'll pay you!" The noble was excited after hearing that. 

"Yes...I've heard that the nobles that brought this item to the noblewomen all had their love accepted" The knight continued. 

"Spit it out! I want to know!" The noble got even more pumped up. 

"Ah...it's called the...huh? an arrow?" The knight noticed that the small hole between his helmet and his armor has been pierced by an arrow but it did not hurt at all.

"What is this....*falls unconscious*" The knight fell. 

"Why are you asleep! Tell me that item!....*falls unconscious*" The noble also collapsed. 

In a matter of seconds, all six individuals near the mansion's entrance fell asleep. Toziro noticed this from afar. 

"Heh...they don't call him Ace for nothing. Alright, Kamila, Bima, let's defeat the other knights in the courtyard. But remember not to kill any of them...especially you Bima" Toziro said to the strike team.

"But why...? I haven't killed someone in a while and my blades are frankly very thirsty now" Bima motioned his two daggers in his arms. The black daggers do seem as if it has killed a lot of people in its life. 

"No...these knights still have their own families to take care of. Although working with the Duke is already a sin in itself, they were not the ones to kidnap them so we'll forgive them...for now" Toziro replied. 

"Tch. Alright, I'll try to hold back. I won't guarantee that they won't get some of their bones broken, though" Bima said and smiled.

"Well, in that case, I wouldn't guarantee something like that as well for myself hahaha...Kamila, I want you to take on the western side and you Bima the eastern" Toziro ordered. Kamila and Bima nodded. 

"Alright. I see around 30 knights or so. Let's put them to sleep before they notice the collapsed knights near the entrance. Let's go." Toziro disappeared from his position right as he said that but so did the others. 

"Man...I know security is important and all but 99% of the time that we are told to guard the perimeter like this, nothing happens. This is the residence of Duke Erlington, someone that not even criminal organizations want to mess with." A knight complained to his friends. They were in a group of five currently guarding the eastern side of the back of the mansion. 

"Hey. Don't complain. We are trained knights of the royal academy." Their leader scolded.

"I know I know, sorry Captain. It's just...I don't know...maybe I should find another job...my wife has been complaining nonstop for a while" The knight continued. 

"I know what you mean...have you heard of the rumors? I can't believe the Duke would kidnap our city girls like that...if his son truly managed to become the new crown prince by marrying the princess..." Another knight chimed in and trailed off at the end of his sentence. 

"Hey! I'll have you executed if you insult the Duke one more time! Focus on your work right this instance!" The leader shouted. 

""Y-yes Captain!"" The two knights apologized and continued their guarding duty.

"A..A....AAAAH What is this!?" A knight suddenly screamed. Everyone turned around to see the screaming knight. 

Horror clouded their face. They saw a hand going through the chest of the screaming knight. But the knight seemed to not feel any pain, just fear. 

"W-what is that!" A knight who saw the hand going through the chest said. 

Suddenly, a masked head peeked from behind the screaming knight.

"Peek-a-boo!" Bima, also known as The Reaper, said in a funny voice. 

"Aaaahh!" A knight shouted in surprise. 

"I-Intruder! Apprehend him!" The leader said. 

Bima pulled out his hand from the screaming knight's chest and punched the back of his neck, knocking him out cold. 

"You guys are quite lucky I can't use my daggers...Come...fight." Bima said in a mocking voice.

The battle started. The knights all came at him at once. But there was something strange. Their swords just go straight into the enemy's body without hurting him. It seemed as if they didn't even hit anything. 

"What! I-it's a ghost! We can't hit him!" A knight shouted. 

"C-continue to attack him!" The leader said. 

They did continue their attack but none of the attacks hurt the enemy. 

" *yawn* okay that's enough," Bima muttered. 

Bima then went into his offensive mode. He used his unique ability to phase through objects like a ghost to attack the knights. When a sword hits him, it just phased right through his body. Even without his daggers, Bima still had a high proficiency in close quarter combat. Finally, he defeated the five of them. 

"That was quite boring. Man...I miss fighting werewolves...Now those bunch of madmen was strong as fuck." Bima muttered. 

"Hey! Who are you!" Another group of five knights shouted from nearby. 

"Heh...Alright, one more time." Bima smiled. 

Meanwhile, at the western side of the back of the mansion, Kamila was also fighting ten knights at the same time. But she didn't even think of using any stealth as that was not her specialty. 

"S-shit! What magic is she using!" A knight shouted. 

"I-I-it's a monster!" Another knight screamed. 

(Hissss) A giant white serpent hissed towards the knights. 

"Aaaaaah!!!!" A knight screamed as he was mauled down by a huge white dire wolf. 

Kamila approached the white wolf and started stroking its soft fur as if to calm it down so that it doesn't kill the man. The wolf whimpered and hold back on hurting the knight any further. 

"R-r-run! We're no match for those creatures! Get reinforcements!" A knight ordered.

Three knights have already gone down but the other seven knights started running for their lives. 

Kamila pointed her index finger towards the fleeing knights and both of her creatures started to give chase. 

"Aaaah!!! Don't!!!" A knight screamed as he was caught by the white wolf.

"I-I-I can't breathe!" Another knight was constricted by the coiling giant snake around his body and he went unconscious in a matter of seconds. 

After a while, all of the knights were defeated. They were just no match for these majestic white creatures. 

Kamila approached the two creatures and stroke them gently. Suddenly, the white wolf and the white snake started to disappear into a white aura and returned towards the body of Kamila. Her job was done. This was her ability to summon animals with her battle force which created her nickname of White Witch. Unlike normal summoners which are limited to the creatures they have tamed, Kamila could summon any animals she wanted, provided she has enough battle force to do so. 

Unlike Kamila and Bima, Toziro went straight through the middle of the courtyard, which had the strongest line of defense. That was because these ten knights in front of Toziro were not ordinary knights, but knights with magic powers and higher ranks. 

"Ooooh...will you look at that...I thought tonight was just going to be another boring guarding job but boys, we have ourselves a company" A mage knight said with mockery. 

"Hahaha...little thief thinks he could take all of us. Don't he know who we are? The proud mage knights of the Erlington family" Another mage knight also muttered. 

"Hahahaha....that's the point yes I'm going to defeat all of you at once. Now, I don't have a lot of time so please all of you come at me" Toziro said with arrogance and motioned his hand to attack. 

"This little! Boys! Fucking kill him! Mutilate every part of his body!" A mage knight ordered. He pulled out his sword, chanted, and enveloped it with fire. 

The rest of the knights also did the same as they chanted spells to envelop their swords with different elements such as fire, water, ice, and wind. 

Toziro also puts his right hand onto the grip of his long sword that was resting on the sheath on his left hip. 

"Hahahaha! What kind of thin ass sword is that? We would break that sword in one attack!" A mage knight laughed as he saw the sword that Toziro was about to pull out. 

Toziro stayed silent as he was waiting for them to attack. 

"Tch. I'll go first!" A mage knight with a flaming sword slashed towards Toziro. 

Right as the knight attacked, Toziro pulled out his sword with lightning fast speed and cuts off the hand of the knight that was holding the sword.

"Aaaaah! My hand!!!" The mage knight went into shock after seeing his hand cut off and fall unconscious. 

"You fucker! Get him!" Another mage knight shouted and they all come at him. 

What came next was just something out of a fairytale. A display of swordsmanship so fantastic that it could only belong to the sword god himself. 

(Slash slash slash slash slash)

Toziro cut off each hand of the enemies that were holding their swords and then promptly knocking them unconscious. None of the attacks were lethal but they would need the city's top healers in order to heal those wounds. The speed of Toziro's attacks was just ridiculous. 

(Slash)

"Aaaahh!!" Another knight screamed as he saw his hand cut off. 

"Go back to your mommy boys...I think you all won't be working as knights anymore anyway...This is all the mercy I could muster for working for someone as atrocious as Duke Erlington." Toziro sheathed his sword and continued walking towards the entrance of the mansion.

"You people took too long," Toziro said. 

"Sorry, Leader" Bima apologized. 

All of the previous events actually occurred concurrently and Toziro was the first one to finish by a long margin. All three of them were currently in the entrance of the mansion. 

"Alright...Now we just need Qey to get the keys to the basement. Chandra has said that the basement was enveloped by a strange magic and that only the keys would open it.  Bima...I need you to infiltrate the basement first with your ability and ensure the safety of the girls inside the basement. We still need the keys to get them out so we'll wait for the news from Qey" Toziro ordered. 

"Roger." Bima complied and started to phase into the walls of the mansion, heading towards the basement below. 

"Qey...how are you holding up with the keys?" Toziro asked over the voice comm.

"Don't worry...I'm approaching the Duke now to....seduce him...tee-hee" Qey answered. 

"That fucking pervert" Bima muttered. 

"*sigh* Well, we'll wait again for now," Toziro said and sat down on the ground.
