Chapter 2261 Missions

While all the acolytes were out on their respective missions, Emery settled into a lotus position within the rented building in Centauri City. The space, though simple, was filled with quiet tension as he prepared to monitor the progress of his teams.

With Dillion, Ha Ron, and Kingrig leading separate groups, Emery utilized the Khaos hub to watch over them in real-time, ensuring their safety.

Dillion's group had taken on a particularly dangerous mission, heading into a treacherous lava cave. His team consisted of Blaine, with his innate fire-resistant body, and Bellana, whose mastery of ice spells would prove crucial in such a fiery environment. Their task was to hunt down a mythical beast, a mission not for the faint of heart.

[Mission Difficulty: B]

[Mission Rewards: 500,000 spirit stones]

[Academy Rewards: 800 points]

The target was a Tiger Drake, a fearsome creature of metal and fire that lurked deep within the burning caves. The mission was far from easy; the Tiger Drake was not just powerful but cunning, using the environment to its advantage. For four grueling days, they tracked the creature, engaging in fierce battles that tested their endurance and skill.

Finally, after a particularly intense confrontation, Dillion's sword struck true, and the Tiger Drake let out a final, earth-shaking roar before collapsing. The team wasted no time in securing the massive corpse, their exhaustion outweighed by the sense of accomplishment. The town near the lava cave welcomed them as heroes when they delivered the body, and they were rewarded handsomely for their success.

This mission was not for the faint-hearted. It involved taking the lives of other humans, a task that required not only strength but also the mental fortitude to face such a moral challenge. Hence the reason Emery chose the senior acolytes for this mission.

Ha Ron, despite being young, had been an assassin since childhood, making him an anomaly among his peers. Hardy, though the weakest among the other, was wise beyond his years. the Kaleos noble was in fact the team's trump card. His calm and calculated approach made him the perfect tactician for such a high-stakes mission.

The task ahead was daunting. They were a small group of nine, facing a formidable force of 300 bandits. These were not ordinary thugs—many of them were in the Sky realm, with several powerful leaders in the Saint realm.

Kat was undeterred. With her leadership, the group stormed the mountain stronghold, breaking through the bandits' defenses and sowing chaos among their ranks. Meanwhile, Ha Ron used his skills in stealth to infiltrate the pirate base. His target was the bandit leader, which was executed flawlessly.

Under the cover of darkness, he slipped past guards and traps, making his way to the bandit leader's quarters. With swift, lethal precision, he assassinated the leader, severing his head and placing it on a spike for all to see.

The sight of their leader's head, coupled with the flames that began consuming their base, shattered the bandits' morale. Panic spread like wildfire through their ranks. Many bandits, seeing no hope of victory, fled the mountain in terror. Others were cut down as they tried to escape, and those who surrendered were swiftly captured. In the end, only a few managed to escape.

Despite the overwhelming success of the mission, the group was met with a disappointing surprise. The mission's promise of treasure turned out to be little more than an empty chest. The bandits, it seemed, had either hidden their loot elsewhere or had been less wealthy than rumors suggested. However, the lack of material reward did little to diminish the sense of accomplishment among the team. They had completed the mission with a perfect score, showcasing their strength and unity.
