Armipotent - Chapter 1684: Follow Up Mission

Anne picked up her pace and caught up with Tang Shaoyang’s Admin Helpers. They chased late because none of them expected Tang Shaoyang would leave without saying anything.

However, she did not see Tang Shaoyang after catching it. She saw the billowed black smoke ahead of her. There was no need to guess, Tang Shaoyang must be there already.

As they got closer to the smoke, they heard a man scream. By the time they arrived at the village. They found Tang Shaoyang and next to him was the young with ragged breathing. His clothes were soaked from sweat.

“We have completed the mission. He summoned the void creature, and the void creature is inside his head right now.”

None of them got closer to Tang Shaoyang, not because they were afraid of him but because of the purple smile.

Anne and Ira looked at the young man, furrowing their brow. The mission was too easy for a hard mission. Ira first checked the mission page. Just like Tang Shaoyang said, the mission was completed. They found the culprit and also the void creature, but this was too easy.

“What actually happened?” Ira asked, confused.

“You will see it soon,” Tang Shaoyang pointed at the young man.

Sure enough, purple slime formed around his skin, covering his whole body. It got bigger and bigger, but it broke apart when Tang Shaoyang stomped on the slime part.

“He summoned the void creature, and the void creature integrated with him now. It’s similar to the slime, and the core is in his brain!”

Ira frowned deeper and used [Detection] once more on the young man. With how big the gap between her and the young man, she could see more detailed information about the young man.

The young man was not even an Epic Rank, let alone a God Rank, so how did he summon a Void Creature? There was no class related to the void creature as far as she knew. The System would not make such a class when it wanted no involvement with the void.

“Someone is giving him a summoning scroll. He used that scroll to summon the void creature.”

Tang Shaoyang explained. There was more to the back of the story, but Tang Shaoyang did not want to go deeper. Their mission was to get rid of the void creature and find who summoned it. Their mission was completed.

“This is easier than I thought,” Ira agreed with Tang Shaoyang. Their mission was completed to this point since the System also indicated they had completed the mission.

“No! It’s not over yet! We must catch the person who gave this man the scroll!”

Anne disagreed with them. The problem has not yet been resolved, and they must get to the end of the root.

“Yes, Senior Administrator Anne. We have completed the mission!” Ira shared the mission page, and it said completed.

Anne was dumbfounded at that, “But…”

“No, but! To continue the mission, it will be a separate mission. We are risking our lives for a mission. This is not charity, Senior Administrator Anne.” Ira cut her off.

Anne turned toward Tang Shaoyang. The only one who could make them stay and pursue the culprit was Tang Shaoyang. He was the captain, so she asked him.

“We must stay and catch the real culprit! The people in this world are in danger!”

“Then let’s wait for the follow-up mission,” Tang Shaoyang turned toward Ira to complete the mission.

Ira tapped the complete in the mission page, and they were teleported back. It was not even half an hour since they left, and they had returned.

The woman inside the booth was surprised to see them. It was a hard mission, after all. Did they abort the mission?

“I will submit the report first!” Ira parted ways with the team to submit the mission report. With how short their mission was, her report was also short. She dragged the same young man who had lost his power.

“Why!? Why don’t you save them? You have the power to do so!?” Anne still could not accept the decision to go back.

She had seen Tang Shaoyang fight, and she believed he should be strong enough to fight whoever spread the summoning scroll. If they were waiting for the follow-up mission, it might be too late already.

“This is a warning for you, Anne. I respect your belief that the strong should help the weak but don’t force your belief on me. That’s your belief, you do whatever you believe is right. I will not stop you, but don’t force your belief on me, Anne! This will be the first and the last warning. I will kick you out of my team if you are still doing it!”

Tang Shaoyang did not care about the criticism, but he did not like it when someone forced their belief in him.

That silenced Anne. Getting kicked out from a team that she just joined would bring a bad reputation for her. There would be fewer teams wanting to pick her next time. She also did not want to quit the team. She believed she could do more with Tang Shaoyang.

“Or you can create your own team. No one will stop you from doing whatever you want!”

They returned to Tang Shaoyang’s room in silence. Nayla and the others were not as bold as Ira to speak against a Senior Administrator. The Junior Administrator also did not say anything since they were not close enough to speak. Both did not want to offend the two Senior Administrators in the team.

Ira messaged Tang Shaoyang to wait because there would be a follow-up mission. With how easy the first mission was, Tang Shaoyang expected another mission with a decent reward. Regarding the mission, he wanted to finish them as soon as possible and reach the Chief Administrator. He did not really care about the natives.

Ira returned half an hour later with another mission paper in her hand. As she guessed, there was a follow-up mission. However, it was no longer a team mission anymore, but a cooperative mission. It required five teams’ cooperation for the mission, and Ira registered their team to join.
