150 Infiltration (1/2)

-Scy's Guild-

*Scy' POV*

”We'll do something about Zia later but the real problem is how do we reach the castle? We can't just fly up there because there are a lot of people below. Not to mention there are a lot of watchtowers built to detect any movements outside the castle. Any plans guys?” I asked the leaders.

”We can disguise ourselves as one of them. We just have to use fancy equipment like the others. The only problem is our faces. Well, they are in desperate time so a lot of the players who go there are soldiers from every guild and there are a lot of adventurers too. It's easy for them to recognize us because of the recent tournament and using hoods would just attract people. What do you think?” Elou explained. I think he got a point.

”If we are discovered then it will be a problem. Scy only is banished from the cities and he's free to do what he wants but still, I'm pretty sure they won't be happy to see him going there. I think I'll ask Petula if she can help us.” Akko suggested.

”Sure, just don't let them know what we're up to. I can't afford to bring any of them.”

We waited for a bit and Akko brought something like a potion. It doesn't look like it would taste good from the looks of it.

”So what is that?”

”Petula said that this will guaranty a change of look. I'm not sure but she giggled while explaining what this potion is for. Anyone want to try it out?” As long as it can help us.

”I'll try it out. There's no harm in trying, they say.” I opened up the potion and drank one of it and waited for a bit.

”I can't feel anything. Did something changed?” I asked and for some reason, Elou started to laugh...

”Hey what's wrong? Hmmmm?” I felt something irritating crawl to my eyes... my hair grew longer!

”What the?!” My chest started to get bigger and I felt like I lost something precious between my legs! Where the heck are my dragon balls?!

”Did I just become a girl? This isn't really new to me but the transformation of a monster soul is instant... this one was a slow effect that I felt every single change... Jeez.” I sure do hate this kind of stuff.

”It's alright Scy, you look really cute. If you're really a girl, I would have jumped at you like a hungry tiger. Haha!” Elou is enjoying this... and for some reason, both the girls won't look at me...

”So how about you guys?” I asked...

”Nope... I would never take something like that. Haha.” Elou, you jerk... and both the girls just sway their heads and the rest is self-explanatory...

”So how about your disguise?” I asked.

”Well, I think it's better if you go investigate alone because it's safer and faster. Lili here can't move as fast as we can and Akko can't use her fire booster inside the castle because it would create a lot of sounds making her useless when trying to explore. On my part, I can just watch you here and if for some reason you need my help, I'll get there as fast as I can. What do you think?” Elou... You guys are just lazy...

”Well, I think your idea isn't that bad. I hope this work well or I just embarrassed myself. Ok then. I'll move out and get back as fast as I can.” I said while preparing to use my fire booster.

”Be careful out there! See you later!” Akko said.

*BAAAAAAAM!* So with one burst, I flew up in the sky.

-West Forest-

*BAAAAAAAAM!* I landed pretty badly at the end of the forest near the Icy Fields.

As I look closely, there are a lot of players around the Icy Fields. This is an insane amount of army but they don't have enough things to warm them up against the cold. Exposing yourself to cold too much will have some bad effects like stamina and energy consumption will be faster making you hard to move fast, not only that, cold resistance will be lower receiving more ice magic damage. Camping here is a bad idea and leaving Vanguard's stronghold exposed to attacks is even worse. There's one more good idea but the cost is great. It is to leave the Vanguard's Stronghold and stay at the grasslands. Icy Plains is no way in hell a good place to fight a World Boss and Grasslands would give them a higher chance of winning due to it being open area and terrain won't be a problem anymore. Still... I don't think they will leave a stronghold.
