In the other place, a car is riding on the road towards the Ruin of Swords where Ragna and the Vulture Guild are currently in. Inside that car, Inquisitor Inspector Kara is with her other inquisitor inspector partners as she drives the car while seeing her tracker.
" This can't be serious right? you can't be dead right? " she looks at her tracker as the tracker gives her the coordination to the Ruin of Swords Gate with an insignia
[ PTR ]
While seeing her tracker, her partners then warn her to not lose focus since she was the one driving the car which she did so while holding her tears.
" Don't be so despaired Kara. "
" There could be a chance that her tracker signal just went off in that Ruin. " said one of her partners calming her.
" Okay, okay ... " she agrees while continuing to drive as they see large trucks up ahead near the Ruin's Gate Inquisitor Inspector Kara then quickly notices the Vulture symbol on those trucks which she sees to be armed.
"( Those symbols!!! aren't those things belong to that renowned illegal guild!!!? )" Kara thinks to herse;f which also made her mind go stressed as she then kicks the gas pedal, making the car go faster than before, planning to straight-forwardly destroy the trucks while asking her partners to use their Gift to shield her vehicle.
"
( At the same time.)
Inside the very Ruin, the Ruin of Swords, inside the very ruin's walls where Ragna is seen hiding from the Vulture Guild Hunters whom the System scanned to be more powerful than him based on their levels that in total is averagely above level 50.
" Crap and you say that even if I killed one of them, the gathered EXP won't be enough for me to quickly Level Up? " Ragna says quietly to the System as it explains that the gathered EXPs from the monsters are 'higher' than the gathered EXPs from human beings for the monsters, in their basic nature, are more powerful than humans.
<"Yes, Player Ragna Current."> the System explains to him while Twelve adds that he could probably try to use the Aether Power he just recently acquired, but for now, since the situation is not that good, then Ragna had no choice but to patiently escape this very place.
"( Really, that's the plan, escape undetected? just like that? )" Ragna asks Twelve using his mind as Twelve explains that him fighting here and losing is not worth it for it's an idiot thing to do, unless.
"( Unless you can kill those guys by assassinating them silently, well .... )" Twelve paused for a bit.
"( You need to kill them effectively in one hit, without even making any noise. )" Twelve says as one of the vulture guild hunters comes near to Ragna's hiding place, Ragna then sees the opportunity and cleanly slices his neck, severing the head from the rest of the body.
< EXP +200 >
After Ragna does that, he immediately catches both the severed head and body and hides it in the dark place he is current, behind the cave's pillar near the ruin where he found the sword, Dainsleif earlier.
"( I just need 100 EXP more before leveling up. )" Ragna says even though he will only level up once to Level 34. When he thinks of that, he can only hope that when he leveled up, he will get another useful and effective skill that can help him on this matter.
When he thinks of that, another unaware vulture idiot comes to his place and we all know that he immediately ends up just like the one before him as Ragna immediately does the previous thing he do earlier as he then Leveled Up.
< Congratulations You Leveled Up >
< (!) ALARM (!) >
< You received a new skill!!! >
"( Thank goodness!!! let me see!!! )" Ragna opens the message as the System finally gives him something he really needs for the first time.
< Skill: Execution [Active] -- LVL.1 >
< Instakill any unsuspecting opponents, the execution will be more successful if used to execute purely unsuspecting opponents which disable the chance to be interrupted. >
"( This one is great!!! thank goodness finally I get the skill that I really need. )" Ragna says as he patiently waits for another unsuspecting fool to come to his place.
"( Being inside the shadows, really gives me the AC vibes, or should I say the 'old' AC vibes!!! )" Ragna comments about his current condition right now, as if he was the character in those assassin games he used to play in the past. While recounting the memory, he begins to upgrade his new skill with the skill point he had to level 3 and decides to upgrade the rest accordingly while waiting for another idiot to come into his domain.
....
( Meanwhile. )
" The Vulture Guild, Goddamit!!! " Inquisitor Inspector Kara strike the whole Vulture Guild member on her way with her car as she increases the gas as fast as she could which gets her closer to the Ruin Gate's entrance where Ripper Jack and the remaining Vulture Guild Member outside is already there to greet her.
" Welcome, Inquisitor. "
" On what occasion do you come here today? " he asks while Inspector Kara still holding her scanner as she is very in a bad emotional state right now as the scanner shows that person she seeks inside the Ruin of Swords has been confirmed to be no more.
" Where is she, Jack? " Kara asks him.
" Where is who? " Jack asks her back in confusion.
" Don't be stupid you vulture fool!!! where is my sister Tae Ra!!!? "

*Inquisitor Inspector:
The Divine Inquisitors that are stationed in the Hunter Association to monitor it, their jobs is to inspect anything out of the ordinary in the Hunter Association's activities as the Diviners fear that the Hunters may take and misuse the treasures, items, weapons, and some things based on magic inside the Dungeon they just raid.
To minimize those risks, the Diviners then make some of their Inquisitor as the Hunter Association's Inspectors and also order the Hunter Association Leader to give the Inquisitor Inspectors a mandate to attack the rebelling Hunters. Because of that, the Inquisitor Inspectors are basically di collaborative forces between the Diviners and the Hunter Association despite the Association being a mortal-based association.
note:
In this world, the Diviner forbid the mortals to use magic as they will repeatedly burn and destroy any kind that has something to do with it.
