"So, how should we go about this?" A man asked inside a quiet room filled with people. They were all sitting around a big table looking at the man in the middle who had a huge frown on his face.
The question he asked was directed to all the people present so it took them so ti to answer. Then, a person raised their hand. It was one of the hunters assigned for this mission.
The man nodded his head as a sign to allow him to speak.
"I think we should put the Midnight Song in a spatial ring and move it out of the city." The man said.
So of them nodded their heads at his proposal but others didn't like it that much.
"But, Nightingale probably can detect the sword inside the spatial ring and attack the transporter." A woman interrupted.
"We can just make multiple people move out of the city in different directions with each one of them having a spatial ring. Then, we could confuse them." The man answered quickly.
The others watched this exchange for so ti. The first one to speak was Leislet who has been quiet the whole ti.
"I don't think that will work either. They aren't stupid enough to get confused by such a cheap trick. Our only way to transport it is to teleport the sword out of the city to the nearest point in Lagradon. However, the question is: how should we do that?" Leislet said, garnering nods of understanding from everyone.
They all seed to be keen on the idea. But, they were also lost on how to go about doing this plan.
The man at the main seat seed to have a good idea. But, he stopped himself from talking at the last second.
"I do have an idea. But, I won't tell everybody here." He said.
They all felt confused so he continued.
"As you know. We don't have any information about Nightingale…including their facial features. So, one of them could be here with us and we wouldn't know." He said with a sharp tone.
His words made the atmosphere grow tenser as everyone eyed each other with worried looks. Their trust in each other, especially the hunters that were assigned for the mission, was at its all-ti low. They could barely even tolerate the existence of the others around them.
"So, I will be the one to decide which of you will know how the mission will go. All you need to do is get ready for tomorrow."
He then stood up and walked to the door. He stopped when he opened it and said.
"I want you to do your best. We must never let them get the Midnight Song. Not on our corpses!" Then, he left the room, along with a confused yet determined people who were ready for the mission.
**************************
The next day, inside a secret room in an unknown place. There stood two people.
"The Midnight song. It's so beautiful." Leislet said.
Her eyes were stuck on a black sword that was floating inside a glass container.
Its shiny blade and beautifully fabricated hilt made it even more srizing than seeing it on TV. It wasn't the most beautiful sword in the world for no reason.
She then looked at the man beside her who led the eting yesterday. He was the supervisor assigned by the Mystic Soul City governnt and also the other kingdoms to be the one responsible for transporting the sword and protecting it so it was not that far-fetched to call him trustworthy. He even had more higher authority in this matter than Leislet herself.
They were there to get the Sword out and officially start the mission. There were tens of people waiting outside, guarding the place. Even an insect was not allowed to enter this place. That's how much they were careful about this mission.
"Are you sure about what you're about to do?" She asked the man.
"Yes. There is no turning back now. It is now or never."
Then, he tapped the password to open the glass container. The sword finally was out of its safe place and ready to be transported.
He lifted it up and put it in another container that was prepared especially for this.
Leislet watched this happen deep in her heart. She imagined how Acht could've been the one to wield it had that disaster not happened.
'I hope he wakes up soon.' She prayed with all of her being for that to happen. It will be the happiest thing she will experience in her life.
The two then lifted a new container and walked out of this high-security prison where the sword was put. They had to pass multiple thick and sturdy doors, putting a different code each ti they reached a door for it to open.
Finally, after a few minutes, they reached the exit and we were finally outside. People watched them with deep interest. Especially the thing in their hands.
They then walked quickly to the truck that was ready for moving at any ti. The truck had one of the strongest defensive chanisms created by technology. It could even launch missiles that could follow their target and could even turn a building into a pile of rubble easily.
Not to ntion the fact that it was also basically impossible to penetrate without hitting it with sothing equivalent in power to a nuke attack. There were also 30 cars waiting behind the truck. This was the team that was responsible for transporting the sword to the nearest teleportation portal which was 1km away from where they stood at the mont.
After putting it inside the truck, Leislet left the truck and went to a rather bigger car standing nearby. It was an ambulance responsible for transporting another important thing…or to be more precise, an important person.
'I won't hand them Acht. Even if they kill . I will still haunt them till the end of the world.'
