Chapter 92:
Devil hunting chronicles of the impossible city.
All captains have reunited, it has been a long time since Commander Emilia called for a meeting in her office, the office that served as well as a war room all of them knew that they were soon be hearing about a hunt, unlike all the hunts they have done a hunt that require the presence all four of them.
Abram and Rust sat opposite the commander they both were on standby with very serious expressions, Cao and Aurora stood behind the commander each of her she remained as calm as usual as she looked at the map on the desk.
"Let's go to the point then, the next hunt has been decided, and with the collaboration of the information agency, we have an opening for the biggest target in the district, Toussant Ocassio. She showed a photo of the gentleman in a bright purple suit.
"This man is the leader of the Ocassio family Toussan Ocassio, you all know what that means, is the biggest crime family after the big five of the city, we have an opportunity to hunt him, in fact, a week from now may be our only opportunity."The commander pointed at the photo and Aurora moved to the side to slay a photo of the outside of Ocassio Kafe over to Abram
"His demon is the Basil silk tree, it's a very powerful devil I would say on the same level as Vepar the worm, that say is not a demon that can move freely, Mr.Ocassio is only powerful within its territory, unfortunately, he practically never leaves the Café so taking advantage of that is just impossible," Aurora smirked.
"That said Basil requires a very complex ritual once a year, according to the agency the date of the ritual will be next Monday, during this moment the entire club will close down and Mister Ocassio will go down an underground hideout to sacrifice multiple human beings to Basil, he will be separated from his lieutenant and with the club closed infiltrating it without calling attention from outside will only be possible in that moment alone. Cao continued his speech giving the other captains a copy of the information provided by the agency.
"So if I get right, we will try to murder him in the middle of the ritual, this devil is a tree right? That means we are going to be right where the devil is planted that sounds real bad" Rush told Cao who simply shook his head.
"Even so we have to do it, his lieutenant Miss Marcelina is always in the café as a singer, but her main role is that of a bodyguard her demon the Diablesa is a manifested demon resembling a floating statue it is tremendously violent and the only way to deal with it is to attack the summoner herself, we have no opportunity to do this job if the two are together, so we need to do it now that they are separated, she always stays behind otherwise she risks become a sacrifice for the tree herself." Cao continued and Rush crossed his arms.
"Im not eager to fight either of them, so what is the plan for all of us moving there in a week,"Rush asked them.
"Mr.Collins you will stay outside, there is no telling if they will need help on their retreat, unfortunately, Mr.Cao here can't show himself in the city for now, so he will remain on the base." The command looked at him from the side and he merely fixed his monocle with a bitter expression."
"Alright, I can deal with that but then...."Collins looked at Abram who remained quiet at his side.
"Me and Captain Abram we are both going inside, my job is going to be to get him underground so he can do what he does best, I will fight Marcelina if I can kill her good if not well my only job is only to distract her till Mr.Abrahm finishes the assassination," Aurora stated with confidence, he finally moved to take a look at the photo of the man he had to kill.
"So Im guessing I only need to assassinate this man and not the entire tree...what do we know of that underground place?"
"Afraid nothing, it is an underground hideout so hopefully there is an escape route below, you will be unable to contact Aurora from below the club, so she will be leaving the area after exactly 40 minutes, consider that your time limit if Aurora fails and dies against Marcelina and you see her appear below your only orders will be to try an escape the best you can." Cao returned behind the commander he definitely didn't seem like his usual calm self, Abram had to wonder if something happened but he didn't bother to ask.
"I'm going to be the one on the beast's mouth, I'm gonna try to kill him before his tree notices me, I can see why I'm the best for the job, all of you are just too flashy," Abram said while leaning on his chair.
"Well then, we will be starting to organize immediately both of Aurora's and Abrams's teams will be mobilized for this operation, the work of both teams will be to assist Aurora on the club." Abram looked down hiding below his hat, Collings grinned his teeth this meant that Abram and AIsha would be working together for the first time.
"This is a risky bet If we win it we will inevitably change the landscape of the city if we fail our entire hunt will likely end here and now, sooner than expected but our time of hiding in the shadows will next week, the whole city will know that us hunters are here." It was an uneasy moment as the commander made her declaration to carry on a hunt at the very core of the inner district, it was hard to tell what ripples it would make.
