"I will do as you command, Sun of the Domain!" said Leonard before making his move. He discreetly move toward the enemy goons to find a chance to dispose him without any detection. When he found his chance, he immediately cut his throat as he was stopping his shout from getting heard.
"It is done," Leonard whispered to Heracles as soon as he appeared on Heracles' side. "Now, let us wait for the night until we ambush them! We need to take them when they least expect it!" said Heracles with a calm expression.
At that very moment, a notification suddenly appeared in front of Heracles.
[The system has granted you a new sub-quest!]
'A new sub-quest? This is the first time that I have heard of this!' Heracles thought to himself upon seeing the notification. At the next moment, he whispered, "System, show me my sub-quest."
Upon hearing him, Leonard looked at him with a confused expression. 'A sub-quest? Is that really a thing?' he could only wonder to himself.
As soon as Heracles uttered those words, the sub-quest suddenly appeared in front of him.
[You have successfully infiltrated one of the enemy bases!
Now, it is time for you to bide your time to find the best opportunity to overwhelm them!
~ You must annihilate every goon in the base!
~ Defeat the Platoon Commander by yourself!
~ Torture the Platoon Commander until he spills out more details about their organization!
~ Kill the Platoon Commander!
~ You will be rewarded one hundred experience points if you finish this quest!
~ The system will also give you an Epic-tier skill!
~ You will also receive 10 free stats.
~ Failing this quest would cause you being attacked by everyone in your enemy's organization!]
"What is your new quest, Sun of the Domain?" asked Leonard in a soft tone. "It is just a sub-quest, meaning that it is part of my current main quest. System, show Leonard my sub-quest at once," said Heracles in the lower volume as he could.
"I got it, Sun of the Domain. I will take on all the squad leaders by myself! If you can't deal with the platoon leader, hold him down as much as you can, so that I may be of assistance to you," said Leonard upon seeing Heracles' sub-quest.
The two waiting in their hiding spot until the night came. The goons on the bases were drinking their asses off until they were tired. When the Platoon Leader came back to his quarter, Heracles and Leonard moved without any hesitation in their mind! They killed the drunk goons one by one without notifying the others.
After killing the lowest of the bunch, Leonard and Heracles began making their move through the executives. "I will go toward the quarters of the squad leaders, Sun of the Domain! Please hold the Platoon Leader as much as you could if you cannot defeat him! I will try to finish my job as soon as I could!" said Leonard before leaving his side.
At that very moment, Heracles decided to make his move as well. When he found the accommodation of the enemy Platoon Leader, he slowly approached it, so that he could enter while the enemy leader was asleep.
When he found him sleeping his ass off, Heracles shouted at the top of his lungs, "FIERY FLAME!" A robust flame suddenly came out of his palms. The enemy Platoon Leader writhes in pain as his armor gets melted from the extreme.
"Chilly Wind!" shouted the enemy leader at that very moment. Suddenly, his body began emanating cold air that ultimately removed the Fiery Flame spell from his body.
"Who dares try to burn me!? You fucking sober me up! Who is daring enough to offend a platoon leader of our Triton organization!?" the enemy platoon leader shouted as he was getting himself ready for battle.
Heracles immediately draw his sword upon hearing the enemy platoon leader. He said with a enraged expression, "I will turn that question back at you! How dare someone from your small organization attack a person affiliated with my Overlord family!"
"Overlord family!? Based on your stature, are you the young prince from the Layla Palace? HAHAHA!!! The heavens have given me a fortune! My boss can sell you for a wonderful price to our employer!" shouted the enemy platoon leader as soon as he laid his eyes on Heracles.
At that very moment, the platoon leader charged toward Heracles direction. Before he reached Heracles, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Lethal Blow!"
A moment later, he attacked Heracles using the great axe that he was holding. As the great axe came to his way, Heracles thought to himself, 'I can't take this attack head on! Therefore, I must do that thing!'
Instead of trying to take the attack head on, Heracles decided to use the enemy's attack for his own benefit. He deflected it and counterattack against the enemy platoon leader.
"Are you really a platoon leader?" Heracles mockingly asked, as he backed down from the enemy. "You just got lucky, you brat! This time, you would be unable to do something!" shouted the enemy platoon leader as he charged toward the backing Heracles.
"DEVASTING SWING!" shouted the enemy platoon leader as he swung his greataxe from the top.
'He used an overwhelming force again! I must deal with it in another way!' Heracles thought to himself. At the next moment, he used his footwork, which enabled him to quickly evade the enemy attack without using that much effort.
'As expected of a Legendary-tier skill! I learned a lot of moves there which enable me to fight against people with greater strength that I have!' Heracles thought to himself as he was attacking the enemy back after performing a great footwork.
Upon seeing the situation, the enemy platoon leader decided to calm himself down. He said to Heracles with a calm expression, "As expected of someone from the Overlord Family. Despite being someone with a crafting system, you have learned such advance footworks and swordmanship! Therefore, let me show you my full might!"
"GLACIAL AUGMENTATION!"
