Chapter 36 - Calamity on junglers

The wolves followed after Jin. There were about 20 wolves. The alpha of the wolf pack sneakily watched Jin escape from the hill a kilometer away with two large wolves on his right and left. This hunt was too simple for him to get involved, and the youngsters in the pack could manage even without him.

Meanwhile, the Fugitive Prince rushed to the four men waiting at the meeting point. "Finally, we finally meet, Gasso. I will never forget your help. Thanks to you, I was able to survive and when the time came, I will be able to take the throne. It is much more important to survive for now. Where are we going? The whole city must have been closed by now and they must have started looking for me everywhere. Soldiers will have come here before dawn. They will surely find my trail." Prince Eden said.

One of the men pointed to the road and "There is a tunnel on this way, approximately 10 kilometers ahead. The tunnel leads to the other side of the mountain. There are about 30 mounted guards on the other side of the mountain. They will take you to the kingdom of Tiba. You will then be placed in a sheltered house. When you're ready in 10 years, we'll come back, Your Majesty!"

As the prince and his men quickly made their way to the tunnel, they encountered Jin, who was escaping from the wolves pack in pursuit and heading towards them. Seeing Jin, the prince was furious and shouted at Jin. "Are you Prime Minister Yuppu's man? Who are you? How did he find me?"

Jin was shocked to see the prince again. What was this man talking about? Why was he here? Jin didn't have time to think much. One of the men beside the prince drew his sword, and Jin realized that the incoming attack was happening at such a speed that she could not follow with her eyes. A minute ago, Jin had completed the thirty minutes required for the teleport ring to work again. She didn't want to use it if it wasn't necessary for a while. But when she realized that her life was in great danger, she used the ring again.

With Jin's disappearance, the wolves targeted 5 men. When the Alpha saw powerful enemies, he howled and sent a signal. The pack of 20 young wolves became close to fifty at a time, with the addition of 30 old wolves. There was only one direction from which the prince and his men could escape. One by one, the men sacrificed themselves to protect the prince. Finally, the prince was left alone. The alpha of the herd appeared in front of the prince and attacked the prince with great agility.

Jin found herself in the field of a farm. The farm's guard dogs started barking. Vegetables with mana were growing in the field. The energy emanating from the vegetables was too much to be felt, and it attracted Jin. She could not take it any longer and reached out to one of the vegetables. Suddenly, Jin stunned because the moment her hand touched the vegetable, the secret formation on the ground was activated. Her entire body was temporarily paralyzed. Only her eyes could move.

A few seconds later a young woman came. The young woman looked at Jin who remained paralyzed when she touched the plant. "Was it worth it?" She muttered and then she waved her sword and cut off Jin's head.

'System alert! One of the agents was killed.

Then a few seconds later…

'System alert! The prince was killed.

If Prince had died a few seconds earlier, Jin could return to the system room.

The young woman who killed Jin bent down, grabbed her ring and looked at it in surprise. Then she started to laugh. Seeing the scrolls and clothes in Jin's backpack, she could not hide her astonishment. She threw the worthless sword aside after lifting everything up to her space ring immediately. The woman removed and hid the grade-2 armor on Jin.

Meanwhile, she looked at the life-like tattoo on Jin's naked body, who was left wearing only underwear. A fireball in her hand was appeared. After looking at the body of Jin, her mouth twitched. "You were awfully rich. Probably you have stolen all of them. If my uncle didn't put the formation, probably you would have stolen our harvest as well."

She started to burn Jin's body. After a while, a black medallion remained from her ashes. The woman bent over and took the medal. She was in surprise again. "How rich! I hope you re not daughter of an immortal. That will make me shit out of myself." She then dropped a blood drop on the medal and became the system's new agent.

HARPER

"Can I get the system task report?"

'Agent 5858.

HARPER, you have increased to level 1 (50%).

Total TG: 100, LE: 28450'

Harper began to feel panic and stressed as she lost a quarter of her life. She quickly looked at the shop option.

"The system show me the shop!"

'-Level 1 - Razor Blade: 50 TG (A blade made of a special metal that can cut a grade-2 armor.)

Harper looked at the items "System! I want the blade, armor, shoes, and bodybuilding technique."

Harper's physical strength was already 1.7 points. She wanted to apply this technique, even for just 0.2 points. 'I will reach 1.9 points in two days. This is a valuable number. I'll be one step closer to being 2.0. Should I get something from the experts? No, I will do an easy task. Harper thought, I think I can handle it very easily thanks to this physics.'

- Destroy the Gasyona space exploration team.

Term of office: 1 day

Difficulty Level: Easy

Reward: 30 TG, 100 LE

Penalty: -200 LE

Harper started the easy task and walked out the yellow door.

When Harper got out, she found herself in a space base. The atmosphere was present, and she could easily breathe.

'System alert! Destroy the whole team!

Remaining targets: 21

Time remaining: 23 hours: 59 minutes: 59 seconds'

Harper had an empty bag on her back as the mission was one day old. There was only a bottle of water with her. She was wearing her new armor and standing with a new blade in her hand.

She stood still for a few minutes after stopping aside inside the base. She saw that there was no camera control around. She came near a large metal wall and thought 'I have to try my luck!' She cut through the metal wall like butter with her knife and it created enough openness to pass through. It was like a storage area.

There were many boxes of devices in the warehouse. After a little wandering, she heard someone coming to the warehouse. She set up an ambush where they could cross. Black skinned people, one-meter-tall, entered inside. They were three people. Harper killed the two at the first opportunity. Before the third person could understand what was happening, they made eye to eye with Harper, gaping. As soon as Harper realized it was going to shout, she threw her knife at it and hit it in the chest.

Harper quickly looked at the boxes they had brought. She couldn't find anything useful. After leaving the warehouse area, she continued to hunt the aliens with quick and silent steps. She killed everyone at the base in half an hour. Her mission was completed. Before leaving the mission, she searched all the way and found nothing.

Actually, she might find something valuable, but she didn't know where or how to look. After all, within each mission there were things to improve agents and take them to the next level. She would have taken a hostage and then would have learnt what they were searching here. So, she would have gotten her prize here. However, she was out to kill directly. She didn't even guess that she would make them speak and easily upgrade her skills.

Harper performed the exercises of the new bodybuilding technique in an empty room. Half an hour later she realized that her body was weak. After some rest she returned to the system room.
