"Miss Jenny, are you okay?"
Jenny nodded her head. With a somewhat relieved expression.
"I feel much better now."
"Thank you, if you hadn't arrived just in time. We would have been long gone."
Alice smiled but didn't say anything. It wasn't the to be humble. They need to complete their mission.
"Let's go. The area is clear so we can directly enter the storage." Alice urged.
Both Jenny and Celeste nodded. While giving a serious and admiring look to Alice.
All these security and traps were placed to protect their storage. It was the innermost part of the school's main building. So they made it highly secure and placed all the useful resources they cooled here.
Unlike Shin and his team. Green Serpents was a large organization with more than 300 members. In this little time. They had raided many dungeons and ruins. They had killed many people for resources.
As their manpower was big their base had collected many useful things. Many herbs and materials from the forest past the Canopy bridge.
The Khalsa range mountains had many hidden treasures too. But they are yet untouched.
There are unknown mysteries left unsolved. But as time passes many people out there are trying to solve them and benefiting from them.
It is true the more hands are there the more work can be finished. So more resources are collected.
It just so happens that Shin and the others have created a guild.
It just so happens that they need a lot of resources.
It's also a coincidence that the place they were going to attack had many resources. Like herbs and treasures.
So why not raid it in the process? All their items will be ownerless anyway. Also, they just happen to be criminals. So it's justifiable if they take it. Right?
"Is this the place?" Celeste muttered.
"I think so." Jenny nodded her head and replied.
After they walked without an obstruction they came across and highly secured lock.
"I don't think this material is from earth?" Alice mumbled.
"Do you mean this lock also came from a dungeon?" Celeste's mouth was wide open. She only awakened recently so she has yet to know about what's in the dungeon. But she has heard of it in the news.
"No, I think the materials to make this cone from there," Alice uttered with a thoughtful expression.
"Anyway, it doesn't matter. I just have to unlock it right?" Celeste walked towards the lock with an excited expression. After all, it was finally her turn to do something. She wanted to be somewhat useful.
"Ah wait. Barrier." Jenny made a barrier around her as she waved her hand.
Celeste nodded back with a resolute expression.
As soon as she got close to the lock. The trap activated. It released a poisonous gas completely hiding her inside a poisonous fog.
*Hiss*
Celeste sucked a cold breath. Shin had reminded them about this trap and she almost forgot about it. If Jenny hadn't raised a protective barrier around her. She would have been poisoned.
Jenny raised a barrier around herself and Alice. After being healed by Alice's mother. Jenny had recovered most of her energy.
"Can you do it, Celeste?" Alice asked. She would have destroyed the lock if not for Shin's request.
'Let her do it.' He wanted to know if Celeste's power can be used in this way too or not.
Her Creation ability can help her create simple things. But if she can create delicate and complicated things then it will be a lot useful. So creating a complicated key and unlocking this lock is the first step. It's a way for him to test her.
Alice folded her hands and waited patiently.
'Let's see how you do it.'
Under Alice's scrutinizing and piercing gaze. Celeste felt her pressure increase by a hundred folds.
'Why am I sweating is much?'
The lock was very different. It had 6 keyholes all of the different sizes.
"Miss Alice, please?" Celeste raised her hand asking for something.
Alice didn't hold her long and brought several Bee stings, which were collected in the dungeon today. They were the size of hands. Enough to enter the big keyholes.
Celeste picked the first one. She directly pointed it in the first keyhole and mumbled.
"Creation."
*Ah*
Then she slowly pushed it inside the hole. With her ability, it slowly took the shape of the inside of the hole.
*Pant*
But by the time it was fully inside the hole was filled with it.
*Uhh*
Celeste gasped for air and gave a satisfied smile. She didn't wait anymore and stuffed all the holes using her ability.
*Mmph*
As soon as she pushed it inside the last hole. The door opened.
"Yes!" Celeste exclaimed loudly.
She was sweating profusely. She had leveled up in the process just now. The process was very delicate. She needed a lot of concentration.
She finally did it. She was filled with joy.
Alice and Jenny felt something was very wrong with Celeste's actions. But they didn't care. The result was what mattered.
"Good work, Celeste."
"Yay, you did it."
Hearing both of them appreciate her Celeste felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.
"Let's go and take a look." Jenny was the first to say.
She was very interested. After all, they had put a lot of effort into reaching here. So the items here better be good.
"Wow."
Inside the storage. It was filled with countless herbs, weapons, and treasures. Their eyes shined in excitement.
"So many things."
"How could they collect so many herbs?" Jenny questioned as she saw the stacks of herbs in front of them.
"Wow, so many shiny weapons. Are these monster parts?" Celeste asked.
Alice glanced in the direction she was pointing.
"It seems to be."
"Amazing." Suddenly her eyes caught sight of a strange box. It was a weird and inexplicable feeling. But also soothes at the same time.
"What is that?"
Hearing her raise another question. Alice subconsciously places in the direction Celeste's eyes were.
When she saw the strange box. Alice felt it was very strange and mysterious. Although all the times here are strange. That blue box was on another level.
Subconsciously she walked in the direction of the box. But she couldn't open it.
"Celeste can you open it?".
"I'm not sure."
Alice nodded her head and stated.
"Okay guys, move a little to the side. Let me finish collecting it. So we can go back."
Jenny and Celeste nodded and took steps backward.
"Miss Jenny, although I don't doubt it. But can she really collect all these?" Celeste whispered to Jenny.
Jenny raised an eyebrow upon hearing her words. 'If you don't doubt it, then why ask?'
But she held those words inside her heart and kindly replied to this new Junior.
"I believe she can. Don't worry and watch." Jenny had seen Shin collecting those materials in the dungeon and Alice was collecting for team B. So they must have a way.
Celeste nodded and didn't say anything. She watched as Alice raised her hands.
"Soul Space."
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
As her words fell in the silent room. Those materials were collected in a few seconds. The whole room turned empty.
"T-This.." Celeste had a funny expression on her face. Like she had seen a ghost.
Alice came back to them and smiled gently. Because she was in her normal form. Her beautiful and cheerful smile made Celeste's heart warm.
Alice was very excited as everything on their end was completed. Now she just has to find Shin and save the girls who are still left inside the school.
"Let's go, I'll send you to give back first." Alice thought. 'I should complete the task Shin gave me perfectly. So I can get a reward from him. Hehe.'
Being away from Shin. Messes up her thoughts sometimes.
After that with Alice's lead. Both Jenny and Celeste we're safely out of the base. Though they did meet some enemies on the way. They died at Alice's hands in seconds.
Alice also leveled up and she was ready for her second advancement.
"Honey."
James and Jenny hugged tightly under everyone's awkward gazes. They were a very lovey-dovey couple. Alice also thought about Shin and wanted to go home and cuddle with him.
"You guys stay here and I'll go back and assist Shin."
Without wasting any more time Alice went off.
"Okay, I'll continue blocking any of them from escaping," James shouted.
There were many dead bodies near the hike of the barrier. This was probably done by James.
Alice nodded her head and continued running.
