OUTSIDE THE BLOOD MOON ASSASSIN GUILD - MIDNIGHT.
Ren and Luna can both be seen hiding behind a bush.
"Master, why aren't we attacking them directly?" Luna asked in a low voice as she was confused about why they were hiding here.
"Hah! Attacking head-on would be too much work. If we hit the front, they might flee from the back or have hidden escapes. Our target is their boss. We don't need to worry about the others," Ren explained in a low tone. Luna nodded, even though she didn't fully understand.
"Oh, I have an idea, Luna. Use your 'RETROWAVE DISRUPTOR' ability to create a soundproof barrier around the building," Ren ordered. Luna followed, enveloping the entire structure in an invisible, soundproof shield.
"Alright, now for the last preparations, go inside my shadow," Ren commanded, taking on the appearance of James, who had tried to assassinate him. Luna quickly entered his shadow.
There were two guards in front, and the door had a function that doesn't let anyone inside unless approved. Unless one breaks the door completely, there is no way anyone can enter the building without permission.
"Hey, look who's here! Where've you been, James? The boss was furious when you didn't report after your last assignment," one guard said with a laugh.
"Haha, don't worry. I was just busy taking care of something," Ren replied, trying to mimic James' behavior even though he had little to no clue how he acted.
"Oh, anyway, just go in and report back to the leader," the guard said with a smile. Ren nodded his head and was about to enter but was stopped by the guard.
"Wait, don't you remember you need to say the password to enter?" one of the guards said in suspicion.
"Oh, I forgot. Anyway, what was it again?..." Ren muttered, trying to remember what it was. This made the guards even more suspicious, and just when they were about to take their weapons out, Ren added, "Tickle The Venomous Cobra In Blood Moon Night."
Seeing that he answered the passcode, they let their guard down a bit and let him enter.
"Sigh, if only I hadn't extracted his recent memories, I would have been in a big mess," Ren exclaimed with a sigh.
"Now let's find that boss of theirs who wants me dead, even though I haven't done anything to him," Ren thought and began to search for that man's room. As from the memory, he didn't fully get the details like where everyone's room was or every detail; all he got was just some basic information about some things or two.
As he was walking around to find the room, he somehow found himself in a dark underground room.
"Hmm, it looks like some kind of prison or something," Ren said as he looked at the underground prison.
As he got deeper, he saw various people from various races. But everyone looked dead, and their bodies emitted a nauseating odor that would make any normal person puke.
[Master, it's smelly, let's get out of here.] Luna said through their mind connection.
"Yeah, but let's extract them first," Ren said, and blue energy came out of his hand and entered the dead bodies of these people.
*************************
[DING..]
[SUCCESSFULLY EXTRACTED, YOU HAVE EXTRACTED 27 OF THE DEAD BODY AT ONCE. YOU HAVE GAINED +2.7 IN STRENGTH, SPEED, STAMINA AND MANA. NO ABILITY ACQUIRED.]
*************************
"Hmm? There should be 28 dead bodies, no. I mean, that's what I counted so far. Hey Luna, come out and help check if there is any other body that is alive," Ren ordered, and Luna came out of his shadow.
"Ugh, Master, it smells terrible," Luna complained but still started examining the cells as she doesn't wish to disobey his master.
After 2 minutes….
"Argh, Master, I found it!" Luna shouted. Ren became a bit angry because of the loud noise she made, as someone might come in.
Without saying much, Ren instantly came near Luna to check on the person she found.
"What is this, a cat girl?" Ren questioned as he looked at the cat girl with dirt all over her. She was so thin that anyone would consider her some living corpse.
But suddenly, some people entered the room and shouted, "Who is there show yourself?"
Ren was about to curse his luck, but then he thought, "Wait, now that I look like James, there shouldn't be any trouble…. Right?
"It's me, James," Ren declared as he emerged from the cell, Luna having already returned to his shadow, and no one noticed her presence.
"What are you doing here, loser? This place is off-limits," one man fumed.
"Oh, my bad. I smelled something foul and came to check," Ren said nervously. The man inspected the empty cells, growing suspicious, and then turned frustrated with an angry look on his face.
"Do you want to die, James? Do you know whose room this is? Where are the bodies?" the man shouted in frustration. And more people entered the room, and when they saw the body was gone, they fell on their knees and started cursing life.
"F*ck! F*ck!! Where did the body go? If he came back and saw this, he will kill us all and use us as his puppets," one of the men cursed as he kneeled down.
"F*ck!!! I guess I messed up. Before anyone comes, I need to finish them up," Ren thought as he sweated a bit. And added, "Luna come out and kill them all."
Instantly Luna came out of his shadow with her gauntlet on and rushed towards them with full speed even before they could react they all saw a big hole in their chest. And without having the chance to say something, they fell on the ground dead.
But when Ren thought everything settled down, a loud alarm went on, making everyone in the guild aware that someone invaded their guild.
"Sigh, it seems one of the members clicked something before their death, which was the cause of this alarm. I guess I was just avoiding something that was bound to happen," Ren thought in his mind a bit depressed because he now needs to work extra hard on this mission.
"Luna go all out," Ren commanded, and Luna then went completely berserk and started to kill here and there.
"Hah! I guess she will be able to handle them herself. Now, what to do with this cat girl..." Ren mused, pondering his next move.
"Consider yourself lucky, girl," he muttered as he picked her up.
