Chapter 134: The Plan
"Absolute fucking retards. Have they learned nothing after joining the black guild?"
"They are probably newbies that want to make a name for themselves."
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
Murmurs waved throughout the entire pub as Hanzo stared at the five robed guys before him with a slightly irritated look on his face.
There was a short period of silence where no one made a single move.
And then... the robed figure standing before Hanzo threw a punch.
Hanzo instantly blocked it with his hand but struggled slightly to withhold it.
'Oh? He actually isn't weak as piss...' Hanzo thought to himself, clenching his fist before letting one hurl into the slugs chest.
"Oouu!" The big robed slug exclaimed as the air in his lungs was stolen by Hanzo.
He took a few steps back, wheezing as he attempted to breathe.
The other goons around him saw this, and quickly reacted, lunging at Hanzo to get their revenge.
However, a giant shield suddenly summoned in front of him--causing them to bust their noses and chins on it.
"Ack!" A couple exclaimed, blood dripping from their crushed nostrils.
Malon made his shield smaller, placing it to his side with a fierce look on his face.
Hanzo darted forward, punching one of the robed figures in the face and cracking his jaw in two.
He moved to the next one, unsheathing his bow and slamming it into the side of the head of the robed slug.
The blow left an indent in the slug's skull that revealed his still-moving brain...
Just like that, Hanzo moved from one robed slug to the other, bashing their brains and bodies in.
At the end, the big bastard from the start seemed to have recovered. He clenched his fist, summoning a bow made of Aura in his hands.
He pulled the string of his bow back--aiming it right at Hanzo.
"Oh... you did not want to do that," Malon said under his breath, worried for the guy.
Hanzo saw the slug's bow and pulled his own bowstring back.
The two unleashed their arrows at the same time.
However, Hanzo's red arrow penetrated through the slug's as if it wasn't even there--ripping it to mere particles.
The arrow then traveled straight through the robed slug's heart--drilling a 12 inch hole through his chest.
He fell onto his back with a loud thud. At that moment, Hanzo walked over to him and pulled his bowstring back again.
*BOOM*
He fired, causing his arrow to drill another hole through the slug's torso and Peirce deep into the ground.
He pulled his bowstring back again...
*BOOM*
And again...
*BOOM*
And agai--but before he could unleash the arrow this time, Malon grabbed his hand with a tight grip.
"Hanzo... what is up with you?" He asked in a serious tone.
Hanzo stared at the moosh in the eyes, pausing for a second before aggressively shrugging Malon's hand off of him and walking out of the bar.
Malon stood there with furrowed eyebrows as he stared at Hanzo leave.
'What the hell is going on...' Malon thought to himself, confused and irritated.
He then noticed the horrified, pale expressions of the slugs around him.
"What are you all looking at!? Go back to your meals... damn thugs." As he said this, everyone followed his orders.
"Um... sir..." A weak voice sounded from behind.
Malon turned to see the fat little bartender.
"Your meal... is here?" The bartender squeaked.
Malon stared at the man with glaring eyes of irritation.
He grabbed the bottle of liquor before leaving the establishment.

"Tommorow, we meet at noon inside of the warehouse." Tyr said, the 19 others around the table nodding along as he went. Among these members were Reana and Noa.
"Today, however, I and Noa will use a new and improved Aura array breaking method to see where that warehouse leads to when you warp in that area. That way, we can follow after those black slugs if they intend to escape early."
Everyone was still nodding along, understanding and thinking of Tyr's words thoroughly as he went.
"We will already have many members stationed at the second teleportation spot, hiding for an ambush."
Everyone nodded.
"If all goes right, we will exchange Jiro for Hanzo and Malon. After that, we attack... big. We will slaughter every bastard Black Merchant Guild member that is there. We will take a few hours to reconvene and attack once again at night when they least expect it. Tomorrow night is when the Black Merchant Guild will fall..."
Many heaved heavy sighs, "Jeez... such a big amount of tasks in one day."
"Isn't there too much riding on it?"
"Why not spread the destruction out? It would come with less risk..."
"Yeah... Hanzo and Malon would probably also be in disarray and unable to follow the plans nicely."
Tyr replied without hesitation: "That is also what the black slugs will think, but instead, Hanzo and Malon will be ready to fight, completely catching the slugs off guard and ensuring our victory."
"But how can you be sure of that?" Helas asked at that moment.
Tyr stared into his eyes, "I know my friends. A mere few days locked up won't change how they function. Plus, they will have a few hours of breaks until nightfall to get informed on the mission."
Tyr turned his attention to one of the Zasean natives who had said something about risk:
"You said there would be less risk to spread out the attack, and you aren't wrong. However, with less risk comes less reward. The higher the risk, the higher the chance we actually win and eradicate those bastards. We need to do it now... that is a command."
After those words, there were a few more talks of what to do, and the meeting swiftly ended.
For the rest of the day, Noa, Tyr, Ha, Trai, and over 200 more Zasean soldiers ventured to the warehouse.
Everyone else at the base continued to prepare and spoke of what to do. They were all informed of their various roles by Helas and the others.
Tyr and his group made it to the warehouse.
After using Noa's Aura array-breaking technique, they walked through a rift in dimensional reality which led them to a secluded, deep jungle.
Tyr used his Dragon Soul Mend to fly up and scope out the area, making sure it was still within the walls.
After verifying this, he flew back down and instructed everyone of their hiding areas.
After that, Tyr and Noa returned, allowing Ha to take command of this group.
