Chapter 203 Question And Small Trip

We all laughed and laughed until we couldn't laugh anymore before having a peaceful and light-hearted dinner with Aisa, who only woke up a few hours later.

…

The very next day, everything was prepared, and everything had been set in place, allowing us to finally pull the strings of war.

"Send the first few mages to each mansion. Then have the commanders lead their own personal squad into the mansion… if they die, they just weren't good enough in the first place," I said as I looked at the map of the entire city.

We had this 3D custom map that had all the important sections of the city lay across it, allowing us to place our own "chess pieces" on it.

"Then, Aisa and Findir will infiltrate the Bonebloom family because I've been tipped off quite a while ago that the head will be attempting to absorb the Challac today… though, be wary. This could be bait for us as I have no clue who the source of information is,"

"We know, we know… alright, let's get this party started. I can't wait," Aisa smiled, and as Findir slowly got up from his chair, I could see his expressionless face twist into a demonic smile.

His eyes flashed between their normal state and their blacked-out state, so I knew we had to be careful now of our movements.

We couldn't move with any of the important groups or platoons because if the demon kings took enough interest in us again, they could easily wipe them out to make our lives more miserable.

"Also… how the fuck are we supposed to unlock these runes?" I sighed.

…

(Luna POV)

Just as we had planned, Aisa and Findir both left the house after changing into their skin-tight armor with completely black clothes over them, allowing them to work in the dark.

It was mid-day, but inside the almost dead mansion, they could easily work with minimal light.

And, of course, I was forced to follow them as a separate type of backup in case the demon kings took over their bodies again.

Also, I need to place an illusion over us which is so strong that it could easily trick even the head of the Bonebloom family.

The only problem is… with each passing second, it drains tons of my mana, so I can't use it for more than a minute at a time if we do end up getting caught.

We'll have to slip our way out of any dangerous situation as soon I use it… though, that's if we get caught, of course.

As I needed to follow the two as well, I put on the same clothes as them, but it seemed my curves were a bit too much for the dark clothing, so it was practically a skin-tight suit as well.

"Fucking bitch… It's just your height, okay?! OKAY?!" Aisa shouted, pointing her finger right in between my eyes with murderous intent.

"I didn't even say anything," I sighed before we all left the mansion, seeing the platoons of mages already heading out to their destinations.

As a backup, we have the mages and soldiers all under the control of Bella's siblings, who have greatly matured and are even more loyal to the family than before.

Though, that doesn't mean we shouldn't be wary of them.

We have to plan around any potential backstabs and also plan to shut down any potential backstabs.

Orion and I have thought of this plan for months now, and if it goes down the drain, we'll have to use our backup one… which shouldn't be used at all costs.

There was so much to think of and so much to be wary of when coming up with this plan that I considered giving up… various times, actually, and Orion even gave up completely a few times before coming back with greater information.

He has a wide network of unstable connections, which he uses to corroborate any information, and if something doesn't match up, he'll cut off the connection.

That is also why his web of connections has dwindled because he's become so wary that he can't keep his eye on one thing without being even just a bit suspicious of it.

I almost feel a bit bad for him.

"Alrighty, we'll be taking the long way across the entire city, so we'll need an entire day for traveling. We'll camp at the top of an abandoned building just so we can't get ambushed easily," I said before pulling out my paper map.

Using or having any electronic devices on us would be suicidal as the families are always on the lookout for electronic signals to detect any ambushes.

This also means that we can't communicate with HQ, otherwise known as the mansion of the Wony family.

It is our base, our fortress, and our last line of defense for our very own lives.

…

The sun had fallen, and the moon had risen, leaving us to set up a camp at the very top of an abandoned parking lot which wasn't too bad.

It was very dark, but we were already sort of trained to see in the dark with our very own specialized training regime.

It took into account all of our needed experiences that would help us in battle.

Plus, with the several battles, we've been in, fighting with glimpses of sparks during the dead of the night made us very attentive.

Once we had finished setting up the camp, we distributed a bit of hot food from our spatial rings, and Findir brought up a good question.

"If we survive, whether that be us running away or possibly winning, what should we do after? We have all this power and have been cursed by demonic kings, so I believe we should continue to help out others,"

"Nah… I'm gonna be selfish and do what I want,"

Findir looked at her with a bit of a sorrowful expression before taking a bite out of the rotisserie chicken in front of us.

"I have a request…."
