2024-10-29 19:42:56"Any results?"
A man with bright red hair asked his companion beside him while munching some peanuts in his mouth. His companion, a young man with age that looked like 26 and had azure hair and eyes replied, "The place still had MIZ (Magnetic Interruption Zone) online. The scrying magic didn't work at all."
"Even one of the forefront mages of divination was stuck by technology, huh." chimed someone in the car.
"Enchanted machine, Andie." glared back at the young man as he shot back, "Heard you were proud of your result in destruction school magic. Why don't you try to blast the freaking gate to open us the path."
"Enough!"
A middle aged man with a scar ran through his right eyes shouted to silence the bickering as he said in a stern voice, "Both of you are not a kid! Behave yourself!"
""Yes sir!""
Simultaneously answers both of them with a loud voice and takes a salute by placing their right hand fist to their left chest. Soon, the atmosphere in the car was filled with silence as everyone started to focus on their holographic screen and continued their job. Moving his gaze to the man who still snacking the peanuts while typing on his holographic keyboard, the middle aged man threatened softly, "Josh, if I still saw you munching on that thing in the next minute, I will assure you that would be your last dinner in the next three months."
Gulp
Swallowing hard, the man called Josh tried not to make a sigh as he put away his snack as he apologized, "My apologize, sir. I tend to eat before a mission."
Squinting his eyes, the middle aged man raised his head, eyes focused on the young man who sat on the right side in front of him and said, "Look at Luke. He had been quiet and focusing on his screen since the start of our journey. Just be like him and no more scenes."
Suddenly having his name being called, Luke's eyes widened a little as he glanced back at the middle aged man. Quickly, he waved the small panel on the corner of his screen before anyone saw it. He was actually daydreaming about getting his resign paper approved and getting a relaxing job, while playing some mini games in the corner of his screen.
"Captain Morlock, our armored personnel carrier would arrive at the location in ten minutes." a voice sounded right from the black bracelet on the middle aged man's right wrist.
"Copy that." immediately after hearing the notification from the driver, captain Morlock clapped his hands and shouted, "Alright boys, prepare your gear in five minutes! We have a job to do!"
""Yes sir!""
The rest of the people in the car shouted back in unison. Shortly, they prepare their weapons, starting to enchanted handguns, modified assault rifles that were made from magical items, along with other high tech equipment that was combined with spells.
Each person prepared their own communicator along with a similar black bracelet that the captain Morlock wore. After that, the group started to chant some ancient words to their equipment and one breath later, all the equipment changed into a tiny light that was as big as a needle and they flew to the soldier's bracelet.
Finished with their preparation, they went back to their seat which had two benches on both sides of the car. Sitting to their own previous position, some of them opened their holographic screen again to recheck the plans and map, while the rest just remained seated without doing anything.
"Let's say.." one of the men who chose to wait quietly suddenly asked in concern, "What if the superior decided to make us team up with the Gold Eagle?"
Some of the people groaned immediately, while the others furrowed their eyebrows. Raising his arms, the man who had asked the question then added, "It's a possibility."
"Yes it is," replied the middle aged man curtly as he continued, "And if they did, remember, we are soldiers. What would soldiers do?"
""Following orders!""
Nodding, the middle aged man said, "That's right, following order. That's all we need to know."
"I bet ten thousands of Federation credits that they're gonna stab us in the back. Every division knows our rift between them." stated the man called Andie as he humped when thinking about it.
A man with huge stature and a bodybuilder figure grabbed Andie's left shoulder from the back and smiled as he joked, "Worry not, Andie. Before they could stab us, we would stab them first."
*Chuckle*
One or two soldiers snickered from what their big companion uttered. Andie smirked as he lightly elbowed the man, "Blast them with your Earth Punch spell. You are the only one who had the strongest punch here, Weiss."
Rubbing his nose, Weiss smiled back and quietly took his colleagues' praise. Unsuspected by everyone in there, Luke silently activated the micro-recorder that was installed on his communicator before they departed. Luke's gaze became narrowed as he observed a particular individual on the corner of his eyes as he tried to not raise any suspicions.
Typing something in his holographic keyboard, he secretly sent a message to someone while overlapping his holographic panels with three statistics data and a building map to hide the chat interface. Seeing that no one glanced on his way, Luke muttered a spell softly.
"ᚱᛁᛋᛖ ᚢᛈ.. (Rise up..)"
Watching that there's no reaction whatsoever from the spell, Luke knitted his eyebrows and thought to himself, 'This.. Might be harder than it seems.'
A few minutes later, the armored car stopped. The soldiers quickly get out and ready for their order. After watching their surroundings for a while, they saw the Gold Eagle division which they talked about before. The Gold Eagle soldiers were already wearing their full combat gear and preparing a huge mechanical dragon on the field as they ordered some MPS officers around.
"That's the DAP…" muttered someone in their group as everyone furrowed their eyebrows. The Dragonic Assault Prototype was heavy machinery for war. For taking it out in the middle of a city, the situation may be more serious than it looks like.
Suddenly, a voice shouted behind them with a tone full of strictness.
"Attention!"

"Any signs of them yet ?" Flying in the air, one of his teammates' voices sounded in his communicator. Squinting his eyes, Luke replied, "None. Why don't you ask the guys in front instead of me?"Sound of giggles appeared as Orzo replied jokingly, "Well, as long as we know that your skin still intact then all good." Not understanding what Orzo had said, Luke was about to ask back when suddenly the air in front of him seemed like it shook. A heavy, huge presence filled the air as the mana flow in the air became erratic. Luke's pupils trembled as he felt something blocking his sense in magic. "Alert! We may have encountered the Dead Zone! Every personnel starts preparing your weapons and the energy shield! We are in a combat state, red light!" shouted captain Morlock in the team's intercom as everyone began to quickly execute the order.

"Heh, there he goes." Smiling widely at the falling Jameson, a burly man and more than a dozen men in suits snickered in derision.

As she was subconsciously about to rise up and rush to the edge of the rooftop, a strong hand grabbed her hair and another hand slapped her right cheek.

Two days later, somewhere within the territory of the Empire, a man in a casual T-shirt and jeans was walking through the sidewalk as his eyes darted around. His figure was perfectly blended into the crowd, as a strange invisible force enveloping him made it harder to be spotted and sought of amidst the busy streets. It made him no different than a ghost. Even the lenses of the camera near the traffic signs couldn't locate his face and figure. At the same time, no one around him seemed to be aware of his presence. Yet, their body subconsciously moved to the side to give a way for him. The red sporty hat that covered his hair and the surgeon mask he put on gave him the appearance of a shady person. However, the man didn't think that his disguise would attract much attention if the force around him disappeared. All he t

At last, everything finally died down and back to the silence, where not even the quietest noise of some engine or footsteps of any lifeforms. Except for Luke's breathing and the sound of the gigantic star behind him, everything was silent.Or rather, everything was gone. All that he could see was the never ending horizon of countless stars. The spaceships, the abominations, and all of the immortals were killed by a few spells from him."I did it…"His voice traveled only to the square barrier enveloping his figure that contained breathable air for him and withstanding the harshness of outer space.

Locking it deep in his consciousness to the point he thought he wouldn't feel those emotions for the rest of his long life.But he was wrong. In this moment, there was nothing more than the word fear to describe the horrible and hair raising feelings. It was almost borderline awe when he gave a second look to the event before him. Which was something he wouldn't dare to dream of in his wildest imagination.Rather, It was something akin to nightmare and preposterous fantasy rather than imagination.But when that searing heat touched his indestruct

Suddenly, at the very peak tower among the hundred towers in the abomination's headquarters, a creature with four arms and two legs, with a long, and strong tail was narrowing its only eye in surprise.Its skin was painted with the image of outer space, with dots of white stars twinkling within and some sort of purple and blue currents were traversing that space. Its head was shaped like a spike, but it had no hairs. Excluding the lack of nose and mouth, the creature possessed a pair of long humanoid ears.'Someone is entering the Hoarding Room?'Tilting his head to the side, the creature was sure no abominations would dare to carelessly enter that place. Not only was there the trap that laid for any invaders to be sent to the disposal chamber and burnt to

Half an hour later after he went through the ventilation, Luke still couldn't see the end of it. In addition to the twisting ways that are no different than a giant maze to him, Luke wouldn't be that confident anymore if not because of the system that helps him."[One kilometers ahead, turn to the right side. There would be 67% chance it would lead to the center area of the headquarters.]"To further aid him, Luke used his recreation school magic to create small androids that act as the eyes for the system. They were as big as a fly and their numbers were more than a hundred. However, even though they were supposed to only cost a drop of magic power to Luke, his size also restricted the magic power reserve within him as well.Along the way, he learned that there
