Number One Dungeon Supplier

"Brilliant choice," Yinn said as she ready the pistol that had the non lethal round, instead of the sidearm that had been used to kill. 

"Ready," Yinn confirmed once more and Jin commenced the operation. Shots were aimed to her exposed neck and they were silent because the manipulator class that the System had provided had enabled her shots not to make a single sound at all.

The only sound that was heard was a little thud on her shoulder as the non lethal shot contained an extremely strong venom that paralysed the subject completely. The only thing she could do was to struggle breathe. It might be a non lethal shot but it does not mean that it would not be painful living through it. 

At that point, one of the kids saw the Queen trembling and asked what was happening only to realise that that was a loud explosion right outside the room. The Royal Assassin who was supposed to be guarding the door quickly went into the room and closed the door to protect the kids as well as the Queen who was inside.

However, by the time the Royal Assassin could make sense of what had happened to the Queen as well as the commotion outside the room, Yinn had sent multiple non lethal bullets into the Royal Assassin as well. Causing her to convulse from the excess venom. 

In the meantime, the Royal Assassins noticed that the energy blast had destroyed almost all the traps they had set up to protect the Queen as the Grey Bears swooped in to beat their asses. Page and Lynn were the first to dash out to hit the nearest few Royal Assassins that responded to the fight while Jin had used his Lightning Flash Step to move to the very end of the basement corridor and started attacking from there. 

Diaz and Click on the other hand started to aim for the Royal Assassins in the middle of the room. As all the targets had already been tagged by Yinn, it was totally a breeze compared to their fighting against the Mecha Dragons. It felt as if they had beaten all the side quests before going for the main quest kind of feeling. 

"All enemies neutralised." Tellie reported that she used the Surest of Eye powers to check for any more movement. 

"I hope so," Jin said as he was still looking out for two very specific assassins. The Elites that were supposed to hunt him, were Sigma and Alpha. However, no matter how he double checked with his Inverse Eyes, there were no signs of them at all. He could only hope that they followed Steele to aid the civilians and be reasonable enough to understand that the challenge was already over. 

Yinn finally came out of the captives' room and all the kids were scared to death that some even tried to hold the knocked out assassin's knife to protect themselves as Yinn mercilessly dragged the Queen's body out of the room with her invisibility cloak on.

"If I were the kids, I would also be traumatised by this scene," Jin said and Yinn snorted at him. The Queen was still alive despite the paralysation and cursed that her plan had failed. Well almost. She still held onto the trigger that supposedly can be activated with just a touch on her wedding ring. All she had to do was to make sure she pressed it…so long she had the strength to do so.

"Oh yeah, before I forget. A little bird told me about your exploits against people of interest." Jin said as he picked up Thassalia's hand and grabbed the wedding ring from her finger. "And your habit of exploding people.

"What do you mean?" The Queen's head could not wrap up what Jin was saying. How did he manage to learn of her abilities? And Jin did not know at all as well until Syn came in to provide the information the moment it knew of Jin's intention to bring her into the light and let her suffer for her crimes.

When Syn had mentioned about people with magic in the past and how the powers can manifest randomly on rare occasions, Queen Thessalia was one of them too. She had the ability to manipulate human bodies so that they could listen to her bidding for she was well versed in the art of blood magic. And that included a sort of self destruct as well. 

If Jin had deduced the worst case scenario, it was possible that she wished to self destruct along with all the kids as well, killing Jin and the rest when they were in the room. With twenty over kids with her, the explosive force would undoubtedly do enough damage to cause Jin to disappear no matter how strong and resilient he was. Or that was what she thought.

However, she needed a medium to perform her magic and that privy information had been released by Syn for it too cannot condone such practices to use kids as part of her act. Jin picked up the wedding ring and crushed it with her bare hands, thus unable to let her use any of her magic at all.

"Well, looks like this is the end of the line for you. Can I shoot her once more with the non lethal shot?" Jin asked Yinn but unfortunately, she shook her head. 

"Any more and we have to ensure that her breathing can be regulated…though I think a bullet into her leg if it is not a vital artery should be okay." Yinn said and Jin stifled his laughter. 

"Then that's fine. I can't hit her too since I am worried I cannot hold my strength back." Jin said as he asked his Grey Bear Squad to deal with her. At that point, the Authorisation Letter that Jin had in it stuffed in his pockets flew out and glowed.

This caused Masked Announcer to come out and Jin felt that this would be yet another charade.
