Trading With Another World

Assault (1)

Magic Planet, an hour before the invasion began.

"What's the situation in the slums since yesterday?"

"I don't see people who are usually sent if we're late in sending a child."

Since yesterday, Jean and Alex have been monitoring the slums to make sure their plans go smoothly tonight.

If the two saw the messenger coming to the slums, they would capture the person and bring him secretly to the guild.

Of course after that their plan of attack had to be accelerated so that the Blood Star Church was unaware of their movements.

"What about your preparations?"

"My body is my best weapon!"

"I brought three pieces of magic stones as a backup."

"My sword has been sharply polished!"

The three golden masters answered in turn.

Big Three is a land-based witch. Earth element magicians were less prominent in magic fights. The amount of mana needed to realize magic in a solid state is very large, so generally earth element magicians use their magic as support, such as protection or making traps.

That was why he focused more on increasing his body strength and wearing it as the main weapon in fights.

Mina carries an artifact in the form of a magic wand that can be mounted with a magic stone at the end.

The wand can absorb the mana contained in the new magic. As he embodies the magic through the wand, half of the mana needed to realize the magic is taken from the new magic, while the other half is taken from the mana reserve.

He prepared three magic stones in his storage ring as a backup, if the mana inside the magic stone on his staff had been drained.

Christopher is a swordsman. Although she was also a fire element mage, she more often flowed mana on the sword to slash at her enemies.

Jean quickly pulled out two blades from behind her waist, before twirling the blade expertly and then putting it back into its storage beautifully.

"Eh? Hmmm..."

Alex was confused as the five people in the room turned their eyes to him as if looking forward to the show.

Alex pretends to put his hand in a storage bag, then pulls the gun out of the inventory.

And prang!!!

A small urn in the corner of the room was smashed by Alex's shot. Thanks to the soundproofing George had given him for free earlier, the sound produced when shooting out did not make a big fuss.

The other five people were stunned to see the thing in Alex's hand.

"Great, is it an attack artifact?"

"really. Unfortunately, these artifacts are very expensive. That one attack was even worth one gold coin. So I rarely use these artifacts."

"But the little thing that came out of your artifact was very fast. My eyes even had trouble predicting his movements if he was out of focus!"

"Yes right. A gold-ranked person should even always focus on your artifact if it wants to resist or dodge its attacks."

"really? I can see the movement of the small object coming out of the artifact clearly."

Mina looked at Big Three with a slightly disdainful look. "Me and Christopher even had trouble seeing the artifact attack. You may have focused your consciousness when Leon's artifact made its attack."

Alex was silent. If it was true that a Blood Star Church priest was equivalent to a golden adventurer, then Mina's claim of a golden adventurer should always focus her consciousness on seeing the movement of the bullets fired was invalid.

At the time of the Rod village massacre, it was impossible for the priest Anya who protected Tio from gunfire when it was always focused on him.

This shows that in the gold ranking there is also a considerable difference in strength between each adventurer.

Alex sees Christopher clasping his hand tightly as Mina and the Big Three argue. 'It looks like he realized that the power of the Big Three is way above his and Mina's.'

"Enough, stop fighting you two!" Zeff calmed the two down and turned to Alex. "How many times can your artifact unleash an attack?"

"Ninety-nine more times. Based on my previous experience, I can kill forties of cursed creatures with that number of attacks."

"But are you sure? This mission reward was only twenty gold coins per person."

"Sir Zeff doesn't have to worry. As long as I can kill many members of the Blood Star Church, I'm satisfied enough!"

The five people in the room were goosebumps looking at Alex's eyes filled with killing intent. They realized it seemed like Alex had a deep grudge against the Blood Star Church.

The five nodded then walked towards the back door of the adventurer guild along with Zeff.

The six boarded a horse carriage rented by Zeff so that information regarding high-level adventurers traveling in a group did not spread.

*****

An hour passed when they reached near the hiding location of the genius alchemist.

The streets of the city feel like the atmosphere of Alex's house in the middle of the forest.

Even if the atmosphere is quiet, Alex still often hears the sound of insects that are mutually unpretentious in the middle of the night.

Different from the current situation. The gripping silence under the curtain of night made the six fall silent on top of a tallest building around the site.

"Something seems strange here!"

The others nodded in agreement to Big Three's remark.

Alex felt that the atmosphere that Big Three put out was different than usual. 'He looks different from his usual stupid mannerisms.'

"There was no strange movement visible from the building."

Mina pointed to the three-story building that was the target of their attack tonight.

The building was a shop belonging to one of the rich merchants in the southern district area, which was used to sell medicinal herbs.

Based on the information the three gold masters had gathered, the customers of the shop could only explore the first floor. The customers even said that they had never seen the stairs leading to the second floor.

"We need to be careful!"

"Alright, I'll monitor the situation from this place. If anyone escapes the five of you, I'll take care of it. Even though my body is old, I am still a former gold-level adventurer, hahahaha..."

Suddenly Zeff stopped laughing and the atmosphere he released became very serious. "As for each of you, I hope there are no casualties among the five of you... Start it!"

The five jumped down from the roof of the building, and scattered each other according to the plan that had been made.

Alex and Jean sneak into a dark alley into a predetermined position at ten o'clock from the target.

Christopher and Mina circled the building and set the position at six o'clock.

Five minutes passed.

Duaaar!!!

There was an explosion that hit the roof of the building.

"Now!"

Alex and Jean rush to the front of the building. The two smashed the front door, then threw a light stone wrapped in plastic filled with water as a lighting.

Passing through the shattered door, both of them were on guard with guns in hand.

Their footsteps were the only sound except for the slight chaos Big Three had caused on the third floor.

"Surprisingly, there's no one here!"

Alex and Jean had been scouring the entire first floor but had not found any members of the Blood Star Church.

Before long, the other three met them with astonished looks.

"We didn't find anyone on the second floor."

"Surprisingly, I didn't see anyone else on the third floor either. I destroyed a lot of stuff."

Alex fell silent. What's the matter? Is their attack known?

"Are you sure Jean, that this is the place?"

"Of course, I still remember the names of the children I brought to the second floor of this building!"

Jean panicked to answer Christopher's question. How not, they can be said to have damaged property belonging to others.

Alex suddenly felt something as he concentrated and expanded his range of consciousness. "Wait a minute, I feel like there's an empty space under us!"
