Chapter 137 - Heist(2)
Two members from the Heist group , went to the nearest village to rent fifty horses. They had taken the appearance alteration potion and disguised themselves as two guild members from the Demolitionboys .
They went to the store keeper wearing dark robes without any guild insigna. However they did not use the hood. They let the shopkeeper deliberately see their faces as they handed 200 gold for the transaction.
The shopkeeper was elated and as the customer"s did not haggle over the price it left a good impression of them in his mind , naturally he would remember them later.
While the two were busy buying horses , the main Heist crew had started the action .
It was sunset time in game , and according to the scouting they did for the past few days this was the most opportune time to take out all patrols .
There was a 15 minute window between when the natural sunlight was a bit low and the lamps were unlit , hence the overall visibility was at the lowest. Using this short window the trained a.s.sasins of "The Noone " organization , who had probably done same kinds of missions in real life took out the three guards with exact sync.
They sneaked up on them making no sound at all , and without them noticing they used the skill CutThroat giving critical hits to all guards as they died instantly.
-15,000 critical hit!
-15,000 critical hit!
-15,000 critical hit!
The dead soldiers bodies did not even hit the floor as without making a single sound their bodies were quickly disposed off , their armour worn and the appearances altered using a strand of their hair. All within 2 minutes.
The patrolls had been successfully replaced , phase one was a success! Karna had a chill down his spine seeing the whole scene unfold before his eyes , the a.s.sasins were terrifying, he was sure that should they choose so , he would die under their knives before he could even react.
Phase two was next as pairs of two a.s.sasins sneakily moved cover to cover as they reached the foot of guard tower C , the four a.s.sasins got into positions , they were moving in pairs as they used the theif and a.s.sasin cla.s.s special skill , anti gravity to scale the tower.
They looked like a bunch of ninjas from konoha as they ran vertically on the tower , reaching the end the a.s.sasin pair one threw a small metal pin inside the observation deck to gain the archer and hunter duo"s attention when the other pair stealthily entered from behind them and applied a MMA style chokehold.
With the choke tightly applied the duo gasped for air as they flailed around trying to get out of it , however before they could even move an inch , the initial pair of a.s.sasins entered the room and stabbed their hearts out.
-20,000 Critical hit!
-20,000 Critical hit!
The corpses were stacked in a corner and one pair changed their appearances to match that of the hunter and archer duo . They took up the bow and arrows as they slinged it on their backs , and started to behave exactly like the duo would while on watch.
The other pair went down the tower and killed the unsuspecting guard on the door before opening the door for Karna and SMG to enter.
Just after Karna and SMG entered the tower the lampman came around to hang the lamps.
Phase 2 of the mission was also a success , noone in the guard of the royal vault was any wiser as nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Karna and SMG made their way to the bottom of the chamber , where food and supplies were stacked , they started counting the tiles untill finally finding tile no 47!
They removed the tile to show a narrow secret pa.s.sage underneath.
They entered the pa.s.sage , Karna first and SMG followed , and after going about 10 meters , the pa.s.sage shrunk to the size where one could only get by after moving on all fours while using ur elbows, millitary style.
After an arduous half an hour they finally reached the end of the horizontal movement chamber and towards the vertical chamber.
Karna looked at his stamina bar , amused to find it depleted by 1/3rd , the task was really laborious. Not easy at all , however he had an even more difficult climb ahead.
The vertical climb was difficult as there was nothing to grip in the climb , one had to exert pressure on the vertical walls with their hands and legs while continually struggling upwards.
Karna grit his teeth as he began the climb , thankG.o.d it was not real world , else the labour would have left him sore for days to come.
Slowly and steadily they both made their way upwards untill finally they hit the ceiling. SMG firmly planted his feet on the walls , and used his arms to give Karna as much support as he could soo that karna could extert pressure on the tiles to finally seeing a little bit of movement from the tiles , Karna wanted nothing more than to just flung the tile away with all his strength however he restrained his desire while slowly moving the tile towards the left providing an opening ..... When enough of the tile was slid , he placed his hands at the side and pushed it wide open , to finally climb into the vault.
Finally with much difficulties he had indeed entered the G.o.dd.a.m.n ROYAL VAULT! , He was exited to look around at all the glittering treasures there , Soon SMG followed , only to find a open mouthed Karna staring at some object.
SMG turned his head to see what the fuss was about , but he too found himself open mouthed when he used inspect on the object.
He pinched himself twice as he thought " is this for real? ".
