515 Last Preparation
Alex opened his eyes, noticing the time had come for him to obliterate the seven branches. Putting on his clothes, he looked at Anya, who slept soundlessly in his bed. He stroked her hair for a while before saying, "I'm going."
These three months passed in no time. Anya and the spirits managed to build a peaceful mansion, cultivation room and such. The empty base had become a good place to live in.
He did not take Anya because she was a support. Rather than bringing her, it was better to have her inside the base, maintaining all necessary things.
The door slowly opened, revealing Anna's figure outside. "Let's go."
"Yeah." Alex nodded, taking another look at Anya before leaving.
She waved her hands, taking out a few papers from the inventory. "This is the information about the Seven Branches around us."
Alex took the papers, reading it one by one. Even so, Anna still explained the basic information. "They have around a hundred people inside each branch with twenty of them being Martial Emperors. According to our information, the strongest is a 6-Star Martial Emperor. They are usually a new elder in the sect.
"With how they operate, it is hard to find time to attack them. If we attack during the day, many people might notice and help them and if we attack during the night, it is their operation time… it will be filled with customers… so, we have yet to find the time to attack them." Anna sighed.
"Do we have masks or something?" Alex asked.
"We don't."
He recalled what the system girl said, muttering to himself, "Two better than one."
Anna tilted her head, furrowing her eyebrows.
"Originally, I wanted to split our group into two and strike at them from two fronts, but I abandoned this idea after realizing how they operate.
"That's why rather than attacking them in two areas at once, we will destroy one at a time during the day. I believe we can destroy two branches within a day with my teleportation array. So, we can destroy the seven branches within four days." Alex explained his idea.
"So, that's why you want masks for everyone…" She finally realized Alex's plan.
"Yeah. Since you can hide inside a card or my body, I only need to use one person's worth of energy to teleport to the next place." Alex pondered for a moment. "Our target will be the branch in Rino Town. I will ask Leoz to buy masks there, and we will destroy the branch within two hours.
"Since they are using all the disciples in their branch to pursue us, we will kill everyone in that branch before burning it down. It's time for our Spirit Nest to resurface. Let's go meet the others." Alex narrowed his eyes, releasing a cold killing intent.
Anna nodded, not uttering a single word. She had been waiting for this too long.
His Spirits and Contracted Beasts had been waiting for him in the meeting room. "All of you enter the card and my body, we are going."
"Wait, Young Master… I need you to raise my level." Leoz suddenly appeared in front of him, begging pathetically.
Alex opened his mouth in confusion, looking at the others, who let out a hollow laugh. He asked, "Do you need something to make me increase your level?"
"These… These guys have been bullying me because I am not the strongest any longer." Leoz sighed. "Although I don't mind sparring against them, they have been asking me one after another."
"..." Alex could not think a single thing with the sudden change of Leoz. He remembered that Leoz was a muscle brain who loved to spar against each other. If they had the same strength, he would certainly not lose.
Unfortunately, the EXP Cards gave the others an advantage. They even asked him for another one after they finished, beating him black and blue. For the first time of his life, he realized how scary his friends were.
Alex tapped his shoulder twice, saying, "I am planning to raise your level with UR EXP Card after I reach 3-Star or 4-Star Martial Emperor so as not to waste the EXP Card. At that time, you will become a Martial Monarch."
Leoz looked at Alex, wondering if an angel had descended. He looked at the other spirits, who sweatdropped because of Alex's plan. He smirked, "Just wait, you guys. When I reach Martial Monarch, we can spar once again."
"Master, I believe you should use that to Anna or me. It will be better this way." Jeanne tried to persuade him. Initially, they did this because they wanted to pay him back for what he had done to them back in the Spirit World. And this was the only time they could do it, considering he was one of the first spirits Alex summoned.
"It's for Leoz. I will increase your level later." Alex shrugged, not caring about their problem.
"Ehm… How about I lend you Jean? He can be your punching bag for a while. Just don't give the UR EXP Card to him."
"I have decided." Alex patted her shoulder, telling her it was her problem.
Greg and Artur were the only ones who did not join this bullying while Anna and Anya were busy taking care of him. Sherry, Kyle, and Stina were not close enough to do something like that, leaving Jeanne, Jean, Fabio, and Vera in the plan.
If Leoz really got that much power, they would certainly not survive. Jeanne looked around before walking to Alex, grabbing his hand. "Ehm…"
Leoz looked forward to the time where he could pay them back. Unfortunately, Alex added, "Leoz, I believe you understand your role, right? With you as the strongest, you should prioritize the monsters. We need to kill more monsters to get Gacha Tickets and EXP since it is harder and harder to raise all of you."
Leoz stupefied. After helping him, Alex beat him down again, making him disappointed. And just like this, Alex managed to control all the spirits.
"Anyway, we have our mission today, and I don't want to waste any more time."
Without a single word of complaint, they disappeared before checking his system.
[Gacha Ticket x439]
"System, use all the tickets."
[Processing]
[Summoning Coin x1]
[Metal Spear x1]
[Bringun Grass x1]
…
…
"Now, use all my summoning coins."
The system started rolling the Gacha again, giving him a total of 12 EXP Cards. It was not much, but it was enough to increase Jeanne's level. After careful consideration, he decided to use Jeanne as his sword in this operation.
"Use all my EXP Cards to Jeanne."
[Processing]
[Jeanne (Thunder)
Level: 58/80 (8-Star Martial Emperor Stage)
Exp: 141354/490000]
Alex nodded, satisfied with the result. With Jeanne and Stina's power as 8-Star Martial Emperors, they could complete this mission in a flash.
Besides, Stina's power almost reached 9-Star anyway, giving him more assurance. Sherry and Kyle also had reached 3-Star and 4-Star Martial Emperors respectively. They were hiding their animal's parts with his Shapeshifting technique as if they appeared in this form or their true form, it would only bring more problems to Alex and themselves.
[Host, you have gotten a special mission for this.]
[Mission: Eradicate Seven Brothels
Reward: Gacha Card x3
Description: Destroy those places of culture. Your wives will be jealous if you go to that kind of place.]
"That description…" Alex shook his head helplessly.
[Missionn: Eradicate Seven Brothels Side Quest (0/7)
Reward: Gacha Tickets x50
Description: Just like the mission in the previous world, destroying each place would bring you great reward with a grand reward of Gacha Card. Good luck in destroying those places.]
"..." He became speechless, quickly correcting his words earlier. "I am kidding. That description is the best. Let us destroy those places."
Alex immediately traveled with his teleportation array according to the map. As planned, he went inside the Rino Town, looking around for the brothel. This place of culture was very popular amongst the townsfolk, so it only took him a few minutes before arriving in front of the place.
He looked at the sky that would soon reach its apex, knowing he only had a little amount of time to buy the masks.
The original plan was canceled, and Alex immediately searched for a shop to buy a town. The shopkeeper was baffled, seeing a masked person would buy many masks at once. He was wondering if Alex had a mask fetish.
Alex did not forget to buy another mask for him, recalling that arrogant young master from back then. He did not really care about him, but that young master must recognize this mask and attack him.
He entered a dark alley while changing his mask before summoning all the others.
The masks came with great variety. Sherry got a fox mask while Kyle and Stina received a couple masks with three feathers on the right side for females while on the left for males. He even found a tengu mask, handing it to Leoz.
"We need to destroy two brothels today. I only have two instructions. Don't get hurt and kill them all."
"Are we going to sneak attack them or destroy them from head-on?" Jeanne asked.
"That's a good question. We will sneak around first to enter the brothels, killing as many as possible. With their number, it is basically impossible to finish this without alarming anyone, so watch out for reinforcements. They might be Joyful Union Sect disciples or nearby cultivators. In fact, I feel the city lord of this town might come and attack us.
"After twenty minutes, Stina will stop the city lord. If he attacks aggressively, you may kill him. Depending on the reinforcement, Sherry and Kyle will help you." Alex answered.
"Understood."
"As for Jeanne, your target is the strongest one in this place, a 6-Star Martial Emperor. It should not be a problem with you, right?" He narrowed his eyes.
"Of course, leave it to me." Jeanne smiled with confidence.
"Good."
"The rest will follow me and kill." He said with killing intent.
"Understood."
He sneaked inside the ballroom, activating his Spirit Eyes to locate all the peoples. The area was full of people and it was a bit hard to see a place they could kill first.
"If it is like this…" Alex closed his eyes, weighing something in his mind. Their positions and number of people changed his decision. He looked at them, sending a thought transmission. "Change of plan. We will ambush the most crowded area and kill as many as possible in that chaotic situation. Meanwhile, I will create a little barrier to make sure they can't escape."
All of them nodded, taking out their respective weapons. Alex then started leading them to the main lobby, finding twenty males and females.
"Who are you guys?" One of them stood up and shouted.
Alex did not say anything and cut him down, making the enemies alarmed.
"You-"
"Kill them all." Alex gave his order.
