Daru was outside the door playing guard, while Kazi and Linx had gotten themselves inside the room where the other two leaders were. Because of the sudden explosive sound that muffled through into the room, it made everyone alert in the room, even those with alcohol deep in their system. This was when Linx and Kazi took their decision.
Linx was behind the one to the right, with swift movement, he pulled out his dagger and went straight for the throat. Luckily, in the confusion, the strategy worked and he easily got his first kill as blood spurted out of his foe's neck.
"WhA..."
"What is THIS?"
"DON't just stand THERE..."
Kazi took that opportunity to go for his own prey before Linx would move fast and take his kill, this was crucial after all. With the second leader's back turned to him and focused on Linx, Kazi used the shadow faint technique to quickly close the distance... *shruuk... Kazi's short sword went through the leader's heart. The rest of the people inside became confused on who to focus on for a brief moment, but that was all that was needed for them to lose their lives meaninglessly.
"Good, we're done here, let's get out." Daru ordered. Without a word, both Kazi and Linx nodded their heads and followed behind him as they made their way out.
Kazi on the other hand had another motive.
'I have to get that money somehow.'
On the way, it was normal that they would pass by others rushing and running around, who would have thought that they would run into other sutori?? This was unexpected and not fully part of the plan, but for Kazi, this was the opportunity heaven had presented to him.
'Perfect timing...'
They ran into two sutori, and from their emblem, they were from tak Ugad, just as expected.
-"You two stay behind me, they are not your match." Daru warned as he immediately jumped in front of the two, placing Linx and Kazi behind him. Though Kazi couldn't feel anything unlike Linx and Daru, he could see that the two before them who had spotted them first had on black vests, indicating that they were first class sutori, nothing to play with. This was where the plan Kazi had been waiting for kicked in as he and Linx were to escape by themselves while Daru held the two back... Not that they would be any difficulty...
The two sutori in black vest spotting the dirt brown coloured band on their left arms seemed confident and immediately spaced out. When Kazi and Linx ran away to escape however, their expressions quickly changed to that of terror after taking a second look at Daru.
"The-the Mask of Darkness!..." one of them said in fear, the other was too terrified to speak. Even amongst the strong, there surely was still a wide difference between mud and spring water.
Once Kazi and Linx were out of sight, Daru released his technique and immediately dark wisps of solidified smoke like darkness itself emerged from his entire body like large tendrils tat danced to their own rhythm. Behind Daru formed a creature from the black tendrils, only from the waist up, all made up of darkness except the face which was represented by a mask that looked like a tree crying.
The creature seemed to fade in and out of the visible plane as it would look real for a second or two then suddenly fade out, ethereal.
Daru confidently walked towards the two of them who seemed unable to even run for their lives. Down the passage, all that could be heard was screams, and for a short while too.
'Fuck, they didn't even last long.' This wouldn't stop Kazi though, he was certainly determined. He had already separated from Linx and was heading towards the vault.
On arrival to the vault, Kazi kicked down the door, or at least he tried to, but it wouldn't budge. Well, he was using normal strength anyway. After getting the door open, Kazi didn't waste time marvelling at the wealth before his eyes, instead he searched the place frantically as though he had left something there to be kept for him. Luckily, his searching wasn't in vain as he soon found what he was looking for.
'Straight love for these brothers, providing me with just the perfect thing I need for my quick heist.'
Right in the vault were two Storage seals, Kazi helped himself out.
Several minutes had passed and Daru waited for Kazi alongside Linx. They had already made it out, even Daru who fought two people, more like scared two juniors, anyway, Kazi was still nowhere to be found.
Finally, Kazi showed himself.
"Sorry, i got a little lost inside..."
Daru looked dead in his eye in doubtful expression, "I hope you didn't take some time to have a little fun..."
"..." "No captain, I don't think my balls have descended yet."
"..." "..."
"We clear out the place then meet up with the others, move. You know the plan, stick to it." Daru disappeared after he finished talking, certainly, Kazi couldn't follow the movements so he couldn't tell if that was some kind of advanced technique or if Daru was just so fast.
'It better be the first, if not that's just ridiculous. I'm so sad that I couldn't take all that money and expensive stuff... I need better preparation for future events.'
After meeting up with the rest, the sound of several rocks bursting open and tumbling from all sides of the enclosed terrain spread all around.
'Using such a huge technique right after a fight, he has to have some scary reserves.'
They didn't need to check if there were any survivors; it didn't matter in the end. Also, Daru didn't look to suffer from any depletion in ora, it was simply fascinating.
