Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[OP: ]

{ "Emergency alert! The time limit has come to an end! Personal relocation has failed! Area three breach has been unsuccessful!" }

{ "Stay in your places, everyone." }

{ "Requesting everyone to abort the mission and leave the mission premises! They-" }

{ "I said wait wherever the hell you are right now. Don't act recklessly. Listen to me carefully." }

{ "But…!" }

{ "Zack, calm down and insert the magic formula I just sent you into the defence system." }

Their initial plan was not going to work anymore, the <Black angel> knew it well.

He had no choice but to use the last method that he did not want to use if possible, but it was too late now.

His two extra heads that he had prepared for any kind of emergency were caught and it would be impossible for them to get past the <Auctioneer angel>.

The front door into the forth area was not possible anymore, so… they had to use a different method.

{ "Magic formula…?" }

{ "Open the window on your left. There's an envelope." }

He was the mastermind behind this whole plan, which isn't really anything like a proper plan, but he was at least the one that brought all of these people together.

All of them had proven to be utterly useless in this moment, but they were in no way completely useless.

They were still the experts that thy claimed to be.

They were still the people who had experance dealing with countless similiar situations where all odds were against them… he just had to guide them properly to get past the sixth gate.

{ "<King of stealth>, go to the first floor area and cause a fire in the joint reception area." }

{ "Yes sir." }

{ "I apologise to ask you this, <Lord Twenty one hands>, but is there any way you can make a C-type Brail chip with an emerald crystal?" }

{ "Hmmm…" }

The security units were now making their way towards the general auction room where the commotion had erupted a moment ago.

They knew some of the perpetrators were there so they planned to take them down in the name of calming the situation.

The system was repaired and they did not have enough time to crack it once again.

The Operators were still commanding everything. Black angel even knew the one doing all this, the one coming after him wasn't the Countess herself, but the competent young son everyone called the young hero.

He had made a grave mistake underestimating that young boy as well as this damned magic security system.

He could tell from his centuries of experience in this field that whoever designed this system was no human being.

Something this complex couldn't possibly be created by the mortals like them, he knew this fact.

Even he had never seen something like this, but what can they do now that the water had spilled on the ground?

There was little they could do now. But, turning the tables was the first priority right now.

{ "Did you get the disc, Zack?" }

He got up from his comfortable seat.

{ "What… is this…?" }

{ "Just use it on them." }

And answering to the stunned reply with a serious voice, he put his little dagger down, kissed her head, then her mother's, and walked out of the room.

{ "But this…!" }

{ "I told you to do as I say, Zack! All of us will get caught if you hesitate right now!" }

The lobby was empty but he could sense the unique scent that belonged to the young ones of the Heliox.

'Countess' boy Axion must have walked out just now as well', he thought.

The serious expression on his face deepened further.

He had only one chance to do this since he knew better than anyone else just what kind of a place the true underground storage area of this facility was.

He had attempted to infiltrate that place a few times already, figured out the exact paths one has to take in that labyrinth, and he even knew how to stop the hundreds of energy beasts from leaving their cages… however, the artificial guardians and that ultimate door that he could never open by force.

He would need the key, which was impossible to obtain since only those two had it.

He needed that item, it was here, he knew it… but it won't stay here for long.

That's why He needed to pick up the pace.

{ "Lord twenty one hands?" }

{ "We can make it if we have the materials however, even we would need some time." }

{ "How long?" }

{ "Five, no. Six minutes. That much is the least. However, it will not be a free service, Black angel." }

{ "You do not have to worry about that. Look on your left side. The materials are there under the table." }

He walked up to the third floor, the highest floor reserved only for a few select guests of the Hiraani, and no guard stopped him.

"Greetings, Lord."

"Keep up the good work."

There were a few people looking through the special items decorated in special glass cases, items that no normal noble was capable of purchasing even if they were to spend all the fortune they possessed.

{ "Zack." }

{ "One minute." }

The items on the third floor were all special products that cost a fortune, items that were always on display for special people to see, items that one could only purchase if they have enough fortune, authority, and affinity with the owner of this place.

All the things that he already possessed. That's why he wasn't after any of these items.

-Weeeeeeeee!

Alarms started ringing in the third floor room and everyone present here was alerted.

-Step! Step! Step!

The guards on the doors and all around the room started moving hurriedly and each one of them systematically chose one person present and went up to them.

They were uniform with their movements and there was no hesitation in their movements.

They trusted the magic system that had just been booted up again, and they knew they had nothing to worry about if the system and the operators were looking after them.

"Calm down, everyone. There was a fire on the ground floor, that is all. It has been taken care of already."

They just had to look after the VIPs here and see if there's nothing hindering their experience. Doing that was much of their work as the guards and workers of this floor.

"Then there's no problems anymore, I presume?" One of the VIPs asked a worker and as gently as she was a moment ago, she placed the precious item down.

"Yes ma'am. We apologise for the inconvenience."

"Piss off then. Don't block the lights."

She was too focused on the item before her to even look at the employee, but it was a normal thing around here so they just bowed to her and continued reassuring the customers that everything was all right.

{ "Alright, sir Black angel. The program has been deployed. The disintegration of their magic system… begins." }

He did not want to do it.

He admired this magic system so he never wanted to destroy it completely.

It was a waste of a shit ton of resources and months, perhaps years of hard work.

However… he had no choice in this matter.

The man that knew where he currently lived, was the most dangerous man alive in his eyes.

And, he valued his own life above anything else so, he did as this dangerous person said and planted that heinous thing in their angelic magic defence system.

{ "We are done." }

{ "Leave it outside room C3. On the second floor. Coin flipping joker, take it and leave it outside the washroom basin on the left most side of the ground floor, Neon Blademaster will take it from there and take it to underground floor one. Wind of light will take it inside the first Security room, and attach it to the auxiliary Mainframe." }

They were all confused by how he knew their current positions and, the more shocking thing was what he was doing right now.

{ "Once the system has shut down completely, everything in this place will temporarily shut down as well…

They will have to start the secondary power source on the second underground floor manually. Jackal of stars, along with Uranus Vortex and Wind of Light will take care of the guards that come down to do that." }

If everything had gone the way he had anticipated initially, just temporarily cracking their system would have been enough.

The two extras he had prepared would have been enough support to clear area four and five, and he could easily get past area six on his own but it didn't work that way.

The system was fine, everything was still organised, the commotion in the auction area had calmed down and they were now moving all around the place to catch them.

They were one step ahead of them all this time, he accepted that much.

"Hey… is your headgear working?"

"No… perhaps the system glitch again. Let's just wait for the instructions from the operators. Be on the radio as well."

But what if their entire system that was the base of everything they did, everything that actually maintained everything in this place disintegrated completely?

What would happen then…?

"Master Axion. Master there's trouble!"

"I know…"

The system was a self healing program that could cure itself when needed and defend against the enemies when required.

There was no practical way to crack it for ever, however… if one wanted to destroy it completely from the core itself, it was a completely different story then.

"Those fucking bastards."

There was anger in Eon's eyes as he moved looked up at the stairs leading to the upper floors.

This fire was a distraction from their side, he knew that already and he was angry that they even dared to burn the place where common people unrelated to any of this frequented.

He did not like how they were doing something so out of character, but what they just did with their system… destroying the magic system that his mom had cheried all her life… they had crossed the line with this one.

He wasn't going to forgive them for this.

Not for this.
