Chapter 29: Strength in Number 9
Rekka’s POV
I walked toward the clearing behind the house and they followed me with the exception of Hyun-Woo. Hyun-Woo's job was to guard the base with the new member that I personally recruited a week ago.
I opened a map on my holo phone and marked a location we will go to. I approached Luna and show her the coordinates and the altitude. Luna nodded her head and she prepares herself to use her ability.
Luna stepped forward and stretched both hands. A white mist appeared forming a shape of a door and Luna turned back to us and said.
“Please go in, it will disappear in 30 seconds.”
I nodded and go inside the mist door followed by the other members. The scenery around me changed from the clearing behind the house into a sandy beach.
I look around to ensure we’ve reached the right place. I took out my holo phone to open a map and it looks like we’ve indeed arrived at the location that I marked.
“It seems we’ve arrived at the right place. Good job, Luna. You can rest here.” I said to Luna while smiling.
Luna looked at me and nodded her head, she looks around and sat below a coconut tree near the place we are standing.
“Mizu, Yuki, can I entrust the 2 of you to protect Luna? If we attack together then my fire will get extinguished by your water and ice.” At first, I plan to make then a lookout for the enemy that tried to run, and because the location is near an ocean, their power will be amplified further.
“But Mr. Rekka, we want to attack too.” Said Mizu.
“Brother is right Mr.Rekka, we want to participate in the attack.” Added Yuki.
“I want the 2 of you to work as a lookout for a fleeing enemy too. You are the best man to capture the fleeing enemy because of the terrain. You will get a chance to attack in the future mission.” I try to reason with the siblings.
Is it the effect of the boosted morale caused by Princess message? They sure are fired up to exterminate the impostors.
“Alright, Mr. Rekka. We will be in lookout duty.” Said Mizu.
I’m glad they understand it, I don’t have to explain more things and we can attack the enemy base as soon as possible.
“Stephen, Doni. Follow me, we will finish it as soon as possible and send Princess the evidence. If we didn’t finish this fast, Princess will definitely come here by herself. We can’t let her do that.”
The only thing I worried about right now was Princess. She does her best to infiltrate Esper Association’s program, we can’t make her do all the missions. What’s the use of us if we make Princess do all the job herself.
“Hahahaha don’t worry, I will crush their skull in a second!” Stephen said as he punch his left palm using his right hand.
“And I will fry their brain with my ability!” Doni said as lightning appeared around his body.
“Let’s go!” I said. I walked to the enemy’s base location according to Chi.

3rd POV
The situation around the fake Moon of Akasha base is quite merry.
The people present were partying together to celebrate their success in robbing and taking a few locations in Japan and took the valuable with them.
“Hahahaha those guys were scared as soon as we say the name Moon of Akasha! I was trying hard to not laugh at them!” one of the men drinking alcohol in the party laughing hard while sharing his story about their heist yesterday.
“Right! They have been disappeared after they released a video of an attack on Avos Island. There is no way we will let through this chance to get quick cash!”
The surrounding people were laughing at his word. Some of them drank alcohol, dance, and counting their loot. It was at that time 3 guys appeared from outside, they didn’t recognize the new arrival and turned wary.
“Oi, who are you guys?” A drunk man approached the new arrival, Stephen, and shouting at his face.
“Just because you are big doesn’t mean you can enter this place as you please! Do you want to die huh? We are Moon of Akasha!”
The crowd of people was preparing a gun and laugh after seeing that the new guy didn’t say anything at all.
“I talk to you!! Answer me, bastard!!”
After the drunk man said that, suddenly blood splattered around the room. The drunk man's lifeless body falls to the ground with his head crushed and his blood forming a puddle around his body.
“No one calls me a bastard and lives, I hate that word more than anything in this world.” Declared Stephen with his arm coated in the blood of the drunk man as he glaring at the crowd.
“Man you are awesome! You just crushed a guy head without using your ability!” Doni praised Stephen's strength and said. “Let me show you my ability then.”
Doni charged to the crowd with lighting danced around him. The crowd grow panicked and aimed the guns at Doni.
“F-F-Firee!!” With a signal from one guy, everyone in the room fired their guns.
The rain of bullets was charging at Doni, Stephen, and Rekka. Doni seeing the bullets hurried to hide behind the pillar inside the base, while Stephen activates his iron body and Rekka was hiding behind Stephen.
*Clang clang clang*
“Hahahahaha! Your toys can’t harm this iron body of mine. What you’re doing is pointless!!”
The bullets hit Stephen's body only to bounce back and leave no scratch.
The fake Moon of Akasha members were scared because their weapon doesn’t work at the intruder, finally, they decided to call the guy who had planned all their activities so far.
“Master!! Please help us!!” the fake member shouted towards the door on the other side of Rekka and Stephen.
Doni saw this as a chance and rushed towards the rest of the fake members and use his ability to indiscriminate fry them with lightning.
Because all the fake members present were normal humans, they died instantly from getting hit by Doni’s lightning.
After all fake members died from Doni’s lightning, the sound of a door being opened was heard.
A man in his thirties came out from the room behind the door and looked around.
The man was bald with a brown beard covering the lower part of his face.
His gaze settled on the bodies on the floor until finally, he focused his gaze on Doni.
“Are you the one who did this?” The man asked Doni.
