Chapter 409 Sneak Attack

Anna fixed the black mask that covered her face. She had a tight body suit that wouldn't hinder her movement during the mission.

Only her eyes and hair were visible from the outside. She took a look at herself in the mirror for one last time before coming out.

She walked toward the meeting spot, where she found Risha and Myzik wearing similar outfits. They were going to infiltrate the Count's Mansion, so they had to wear black suits to match the darkness.

Now that they had gathered, Anna nodded to them and said, "Let's go."

They nodded without hesitation as they followed Anna's lead toward the barrack.

Before entering through the barrack, Anna pointed at Risha and said, "Go in first and check the situation."

Risha accepted the task and leaped over the wall to check the situation around. After two minutes, Risha came back and gave a thumbs up to them, signaling them to come in.

After coming into the barrack, they instantly walked toward the building, using it as a cover. Meanwhile, Risha briefed them about what she had seen earlier. "There are two guys in the front and one guy in the back. It's better if we go through the back and knock out that guy before continuing."

Anna harrumphed. "I can handle both of those soldiers"

Risha's body trembled for a moment. She never expected Anna would become this arrogant when it came to a battle. But luckily, Anna added, "Still, it's better to go to the back this time."

Anna waved her hand, asking them to move.

They felt relieved and followed Anna's instructions. She even gave them the opportunity to go first, meaning they would be able to lead them like they wanted to.

Without hesitation, Risha and Myzik moved toward the back. The Count had given permission to kill some guards, so Risha didn't hesitate to appear behind a soldier and slit his throat, killing it.

After that, she waved her hand, asking them to continue.

Under Risha's lead, the group advanced pretty quickly. The barrack was one hundred meters long, considering it hosted around a thousand soldiers. So, they had to make sure to cross this one hundred meters without being spotted.

They were moving outside the barrack, so it was fine as long as they didn't make any noise and move near the window.

But Risha soon stopped when they reached the other end of the barrack. She pointed at the path leading to the mansion.

"There are only four guards leading to the mansion. Myzik and I can take care of one each Does Miss have the confidence to take the other two on?"

"Who do you think you're talking to? I'm Anna Stargaze. I can do that easily." Anna snorted.

Risha nodded, ignoring her remark.

Anna took another look at the guards before releasing her lightning around her shoes to increase her speed.

As soon as she was ready, Anna took a huge leap toward the furthest guard.

"!!!" Myzik and Risha were surprised by her speed as Anna covered thirty meters in just a single leap. However, they didn't know Anna was still holding back since she hadn't used Rune or even the basic reinforcement.

Although they wanted to a.s.sess Anna a bit more, they couldn't drag her down for now or their plan would go to ruin. They followed Anna's lead and took down a soldier each before finding Anna already dragging two bodies to the side.

Anna glanced at those two in contempt, feeling relieved they weren't a burden.

Since they had finished their task, Anna looked into the distance where the mansion was. Since they had taken care of the four guards here, they only needed to cover another fifty meters distance and one more guard to be able to reach the mansion.

Because there was only one person left, Anna didn't hesitate to charge at this last guy with her blade.

The guy wasn't looking at her, but he was actually smiling when he felt her presence.

'This is the last.' Anna thought while waving her blade.

But before she could send his head flying, the guy suddenly turned around and unsheathed his blade, blocking Anna's attack.

*Clink!*

"!!!" Anna widened her eyes and tried to use her strength to push this guy but to no avail. The man didn't budge at all.

"It seems that our little inquisitor is confused here." The guy smirked while shouting, "Come out!"

Suddenly, numerous soldiers gathered in an organized manner as if they had practiced this a few times.

The soldiers raised their s.h.i.+elds while pointing their swords at Anna, planning to stop her.

"It seems that you're confused, Miss Inquisitor." The guy smirked and took out his helmet, showing his real appearance.

"You" Anna's body trembled because this guy was the one she saw protecting the Count.

"I know that you're a Spirit Wielder, but there is a big difference between a normal Spirit Wielder like you and a peak Spirit Wielder like me. I'll show it to you." The guy raised his sword, planning to take Anna head-on.

On the other hand, Anna was shaking because her plan was seen through. There was no way they would know her plan. So, she couldn't understand what had truly happened.

"It seems that you haven't realized it yet. O' arrogant woman. We already know everything about your plan. After all" The guy smirked, looking at her No, the person behind her.

"!!!" Anna gasped as she heard Risha's voice echoing in her ears. "I've been telling them about the plans."

Anna tried to turn her body around and block Risha who was charging with her dagger. Unfortunately for Anna, she was one step too late as the dagger pierced her waist, barely missing her vitals.

The blood splattered on the ground, but because it missed the vital, Anna wouldn't die. However, this should be enough to render her useless.

With this wound, Anna would drop to her knees and get captured That was what was supposed to happen, but...
