After Leaving the area of the base of the organization, which was located within the mountain, he arrived at the forest in front of Dunim's city. This was a forest that contained different awakened and unawakened beasts.
The deeper one went into the forest, the more powerful the beast the person is likely to encounter. He stood at the road where he was supposed to meet his target, and brought out the task scroll and confirmed the location details of the task.
'So, I am to intercept an armored truck. The convoy will contain a San Master with about 8 Elites' He reconfirmed to himself.
Honestly Tim was looking forward to confronting the San Master, the Elite group not so much. After waiting for about 2 hours, he saw the specific armored vehicle approaching from afar.
'It seems that they are coming back from a hunt. Well their spoils will soon be mine.' He concluded within, as he stepped out from his hiding, and stood at the middle of the road with his pitch black sword drawn.
One would think that an empowered blade could do nothing against an armored vehicle, but enchanted or empowered weapons made, could literally cut through thick technological armor, like it was cutting through butter.
Although Tim had not awakened, his swing or thrust force oh his weapon, rivalled that of the powerful awakened.
About 100 meters from Tim, the driver noticed an individual, holding a blade. Immediately he knew, that this was an attack. He stopped the vehicle 60 meters away from the attacker and announced to his crew, the current situation.
'Guys we have an attacker, get into battle position' he alerted. A bulky man, waking from his nap asked "How strong is the pressure, emanating from the attacker".
The scout of the team brought out a customized glasses from a case. Even if technology could almost do nothing to awakened beings or empowered items, they could be re-engineered with mana to achieve some good functionality.
He wore the glasses, and the information he was fed by the glasses, made him relax.

"Sir, we can handle it, you will not be needed." The scout informed. the bulky man nodded, and resumed his nap.
All the Elite's got down from their vehicle. The driver asked the scout "can you scan the level of his weapon? it will fetch for a good price in the market".
"This version of the scanner can't scan empowered items, but let us be cautious all the same, remember we are never to underestimate our opponents. We can get an appraisal for the weapon after we kill the intruder" the scout replied.
"Get into formation" One of the Elite Warrior yelled, she seemed to be the most the leader of the group, based on how the group responded to her commands. Immediately after the command they entered into a formation.
The scout and one other, spread out behind the group, both taking out an empowered bow. The leader stood at the vanguard position, while the remaining Elite warriors, spread out like the outline of an arrowhead behind the leader of the group.
Tim was shocked 'are they actually going to use a battle formation for an unawakened?' he thought.
"I am just passing by, there is no need to be so cautious about me "Tim spoke out. Silence greeted him as none of the Warriors responded to him. "It seems that you are not buying my crap. Why don't you just call out the San Master in the truck, he is the one that truly suits my taste"
Hearing the last word spoken by the unknown individual, she confirmed that it was truly an attack on them." Fire!" she yelled out. immediately the Warriors at the end of the formation, fired a barrage of mana arrows.
'Just like training, but much slower arrows" Tim thought. These were arrows that were moving at 300m per second, but he could already predict their movement, just by looking at their start position.
He wanted to battle against the main boss, but he had to handle the pests in front of him first.
CLING CLING CLING
He casually deflected the barrage burst of mana arrow, with three different strokes of the sword.
Seeing how their opponent casually deflected the burst attack, they all became really serious.
The six Warriors dashed at Tim with only one intention, to end the life of their opponent. Tim decided to also engage, as he was about to move, his instinct flared up and he hurriedly did a side roll to his left.
Immediately he dodged, a sword forcefully thrusted to the empty space that Tim was just previously standing at. 'Did she teleport, I thought teleportation skill were brutally expensive and hard to learn' he thought, as he dodged another barrage of mana arrow from the archers.
"Don't let him rest, tire him out" She yelled. 'Tire me out? As if' Tim chuckled after he heard the command. The Elites suddenly surrounded him, and coated their blades in mana energy, they all dashed at him, trying to impale him with their weapons.
"so basic" he said mockingly, as he leaped out of the encirclement. As he leaped, the archer's celebrated in their minds, as they both used their best surprise attack. "MANA PIERCE" they shouted, as they drew their bow's and fired a mana arrow, that moved at double the speed of the previous barrage of arrows.
'I really should stop leaping aimlessly in front of archers' he thought, as quickly tried to deflect the deadly arrows coming his way.
PFF BOOM! Immediately his blade clashed with the arrows, the force of the arrows blasted him, sending him flying meters away from the truck.
'Of course, now I am farther from those dangerous archers' he complained as he flew in the air. He did not fear the archers before, but that last skill they displayed, just increased their treat level in his mind from 0 to 1.
