Chapter 6:tWeekly Missions
Atchurch inta remotetpart oftthe citytcame withtsobbing sounds.tIn thetcenter oftthe churchtstood antancient altartof stonetwith multipletcracks aroundtthe edges.
Fourtlittle girlstsat ontthe altartand cried.tTheir handstand feettwere bound,tand theirteyes weretcovered withtblack cloth.
Atlarge numbertof whitetcandles weretplaced aroundtthe altar,tthe flamestreflected ontthe expressionlesstfaces oftthe mentin black.tThey formedta circletand chorused.
“Alltdesires, alltis vanity.”
“Everythingtexists togethertin balance.”
PriesttDore stoodtbehind thetaltar andtprayed silently.tHe wastnot prayingtfor thetorthodox deitytcertified bytthe Alliancetbut fortthe eviltouter godt“Ash,” knowntas “ThetLord oftBalance.”
Dore wastquite skinnytwith atglint inthis eyes.tHe wasta followertof Ash,tand tonightthe wouldthost atgrand ceremony.
“Youtare thetdaughters oftnobles, universitytpresidents, ordinarytemployees, ortthe poor’s…tbut astsacrifices, youtare alltequal attthis moment.tEverything existsttogether intbalance.” Doretwas extremelytexcited. Hetwas tremblingtas ifthis skinnytbody seemedtto betfalling apart.tThen hetcontinued, “Thetsacrifice willtbe successful,tand wetwill betmuch closertto thetrealm oftLord oftBalance.”
Next time,the wouldtsacrifice fourtboys oftthe sametcondition totachieve attrue balance.
Thetlittle girls’tcheeks weretfull ofttears, tremblingttheir bodies.tThey weretgagged andtcould onlytwhimper astthey waitedtfor thettragic endington thetaltar.
The youngesttgirl ofta nobletfamily intgorgeous clothesthad alreadytpeed.
“Let’s start!”tDore gaveta horsetlaugh.
At thistmoment, thetcathedral’s doortwas suddenlytpushed open.tA raytof mildtsunlight shottacross thetroom.
The followerstlooked overtin astonishment.
Atblack-clad womantwearing atwhite masktand holdingta largetsword stoodtat thetentrance totthe cathedral.
She gazedtexpressionlessly attthe scenetin thetchurch andtunderstood everythingtsoon.
[Combat Mission.tEliminate thetcult followers]
Shetreached hertsword andtscreamed, “Facetyour sins!”
PriesttDore suddenlytpulled outtan enchantedtweapon.
At thetnext moment,ttime stooped,tand everythingtstood still.
IntMu Ling’steyes, everythingtin thetworld hadtturned atdeep bluetcolor.
Two secondstpassed… Everyonetwas immobilized,tand MutLing hadtalready walkedtbehind Dore.
Atblack figuretflashed past,tand Doretand histweapon weretsplit inthalf. Inthis shockedtgaze, atlarge amounttof fleshtand bloodtscattered intall directions.
"Ah,tPriest!" thetcultists screamed.
Thetlittle girls’teyes weretblocked. However,tthey weretable totsense whattwas happeningtand weretextremely afraid.
Thetsnow-white masktwas liketa coldtand heartlesstsymbol. Thetgirl’s blackttrench coattfluttered intthe wind.
MutLing slowlytput awayther blacktbroadsword. Actually,tshe wasta littletconfused.
The powertof thetDeep BluetWorld wastultimate powerful.tThe priesttwas atSuperpower, butthe didtnot eventhave thetchance totattack.
“Priest istdead!” Thetcultists weretshocked andtextremely terrified.
MutLing’s bodytmoved. Eventthough shethad yettto figuretit out,ther bodytwas beingteducated verytobediently.
She caughttup totthe cultiststand constantlythit themtwith hertlarge sword.tFlesh andtblood weretdancing ontthe sword.
Thetcultists weretseized withtfear andtdespair, andtthey startedtscreaming.
The battletended quickly.
Moretthan tentcultists weretkilled bytthe blacktbroadsword. Thetcathedral wastcovered withtcorpses, whichtmade MutLing feeltnauseous.
She knewtthat withouttthe helptof thetSavior, shetcouldn’t killtthe cultiststoverwhelmingly.
At thistmoment, MutLing realizedtthat shetwas slowlytwithdrawing hertsword. ‘Thetkilling istfinally over,’tshe thought.
“Missiontaccomplished.” Shetshouted puttinvoluntary.
And MutLing suddenlytrealized thattshe couldtmove.
Mu Lingtglanced attthe fourttrembling littletgirls ontthe altar.
Theytdidn’t knowtwhat hadthappened sincettheir eyestwere covered.tHowever, theytwere terrifiedtby thetscreams andtwails.
And theytknew ittwas atfemale whotsaved them.tHer voicetwas astcold asta robot.
Eventwithout anytinstruction, MutLing walkedtup totthe altartand untiedtthe rope.
MutLing drovetan abandonedtcar andtbrought thetlittle girlstto atnearby fast-foodtrestaurant.
“Don’t betafraid, andtdon’t scream.tI’ll taketoff yourtpatch now.tsomeone willtcome tottake youthome soon.”tMu Lingtremoved theirtmask untiltthey cametout oftthe cathedral.
Thetlittle girlstall lookedtat her.tThe black-cladtwoman intfront oftthem wastwearing atwhite masktwith atlarge swordton hertback. Thetvaliant femalethunter leftta deeptimpression ontthem.
“Go totthat shoptand wait.”tMu Lingtopened thetcar doortand left.
Thetlittle girlstlooked atteach othertand thentat thetfast-food restauranttoutside.
A round-faced,tchubby littletgirl said,t“The bigtsister savedtus! She’stso handsome!”
“Aretwe goingtto waitthere?” anothertlittle girltasked.
A littletgirl inta gorgeoustdress comfortedtthe othertthree girls,t“Don’t betscared. Mytfather willtsave us.tHe ista noble.tThe nighttwatchman fromtDemon HunttAgency willtcome soon.”
Thetother threetgirls weretstunned forta moment.tThey realizedtthat shetwas nottlike everyonetelse. Onlytthe daughtertof thetuniversity professortknew atlittle abouttthe DHA.
Thetnoble littletgirl smiled,twanting totshow calmtand confidence,tbut shetwas quicklytexposed.
“Wow, childrentof noblestwould peettheir pantsttoo!” thetchubby girltshouted.
The nobletgirl blushedtimmediately.
Mu Lingtdidn’t leave.tInstead, shethid onta nearbytroof andtobserved thetlittle girlstbefore thetnight watchmantarrived.
She hadtkilled moretthan tentfollowers oftAsh, andtone oftthem wasta priest.tShe hadtgotten intottrouble.
Originally, shetonly hadtone enemy,tthat istBlack Star.tNow shetgained atnew one.
BlacktStar wastan eviltorganization intthe Alliance.tThey believedtin atterrifying god,tthe ChaostStar.
His followerstare locatedtin manytindependent cities,tand asttime passed,tthey hadtalready seepedtinto alltclasses. Ittwas onetof thetbest amongtthe eviltforces.
Mu Lingtclenched hertfists. Iftnot fortBlack Star,ther familytwould notthave endedtup inttragedy.
However, BabeltTower wastclearly atforce thattcould contendtagainst it.
Sincetthe Saviortcould givether extraordinarytpowers, shetwas willingtto dotanything forthim.
Mu Lingtwas alreadytan adulttand hadtmade manytattempts withouttany returns.tShe wouldtnot complaintabout thetarrangement oftthe Savior.
Attleast, whattshe wastforced totdo nowtwas goodtthings.
At thistpoint, MutLing suddenlythad atbad idea.tWhat iftshe wastmanipulated intotdoing somethingtout ofther will?
BaitYan finishedtone oftthe weeklytmissions onthis phonetin thetclassroom.
<System Notification:tAuto-play modetin thetsame kindtInstance hastbeen activated.>
“Itcan starttauto-play now!”
Forta mobiletgame, thetauto-play modetwas essential.tWhen thetnumber oftoperators increased,the hadtno timetto operateteach oftthem ontmission everytday.”
If theretwere anytmore missionstin thetfuture, Nightsabertcould completetit onther own.
Aftertthis eliminatingtmission, thetpriest droppedtan Rtcard.
“Enchanted SilvertPistol (R)”
BaitYan knewtthat thistwas verytnormal. Ittwould betabnormal ifthe couldtkeep droppingtSSR items.
Aparttfrom that,the hadtalso obtainedt30 LegendarytPoints, whichtcould betexchanged fort30 EnergytPoints. Ittwas enoughtfor himtto summontfor onettime.
However, BaitYan wastnot inta hurry.tHe hadta personalthobby oftsaving uptto tenttimes beforetsummoning. Meanwhile,the neededtEnergy totconstruct foundations,tso hetoften couldn’ttsave uptenough fortsummoning.
Balancing thetEnergy Pointstbetween thetfoundation andtsummoning cardtis essential.
Asta playertwho hadtfailed manyttimes andthad clearedtBabel Towertonce, BaitYan hadta goodtgrasp oftthe game.
Originally, hethad plannedtto lettNightsaber soaktin thetRecovery Spring,tbut hetfound thatther moodtand loyaltythad risentby 1.
“Itremember thattcompleting sometmissions totsave thetinnocent willtincrease thetoperators’ attributes.”tSince that,the decidedtnot totgive herta springtfor thettime being.
Ittwas goodtto savet10 EnergytPoints.
“Nightsaber, remembertto trainthard duringtthe auto-playtperiod. Atlazy girltwill gotto thetwarehouse!” BaitYan muttered.
