If Evelyn was unsuitable for it, utz had nned to leave her behind as he embarked on this mission all on his own.


    ''If only all of them were like this…'' utz sighed.


    But it was a light one which disappeared in the brink of a moment as he reverted back to normal. There was a lot of work to be done!


    utz was aware that not all of the groups would be as easy as this one. Consider the Yukiho group for example. It was the one he had himself trained. The task of collection was assigned to a small group of dedicated men with another group of men assigned with guarding them. This indeed severely restricted manpower but it was much more safer.


    utz had reason to believe that many of the groups would employ simr measures. But that didn''t change anything for him.


    utz could only move forward.


    "Do you see those sacs there?" utz imed pointing amongst the group.


    "That is where our treasure lies."


    A bunch of sacs were piled onto one another. utz had to move them before any of them figured anything out. Their breach must be smooth and they must also leave without rming anyone. After all, the Liqui wasn''t the only target he had in mind.


    "Help me teleport them with your power and I will cover for you."


    utz could do it himself too. But it would simply be so much convenient and fast if it was to be done using her powers as well.


    "B- But so much won''t even fit in the inventory!"


    utz nodded. It was pretty obvious it wouldn''t. More than hundred men were hunting these dreadtaiurs all at the same time. It wouldn''t be understatement to say that it won''t fit in the small space provided in the inventory.


    "I know. That is why I would be covering for you since you might catch attention. We will do it one at a time and youe back and forth moving the stuff. Fortunately the leader of the group doesn''t recognize the faces of his group of hundreds of men. We can sneak in without getting noticed by anyone."


    Having a small group like Yukiho''s had its own perks. The security was much tighter and by this point.


    utz had spent days after days training them all the while continuing his own.


    By this point, utz had memorized all of their faces so much so that he wouldn''t have to think twice to spot an intruder. But the Liqui group hardly had that luxury. Their hunting patterns were inefficient and the members hardly knew one another leading tock in coordination.


    Randomization wasn''t for nothing. You had to work withplete strangers who you could never trust in the world of hell. This was indeed the greatest test for amander which most of the second gen tend to fail.


    utz took out his [Star Dagger]... the only ninja tool he had. But he wasn''t out to kill anyone. He cut off his own arm as blood tickled from the wound.


    "utz? Are you okay?"


    Evelyn couldn''t help but shoot out her eyes wide as she watched utz doing something insane.


    ''Is he nning to die on me now?''


    Of course she didn''t say it on face as she had seen too many absurd things by now such that something like this would be considered tame.


    "Yeah"


    utz nodded unconcerned with her questioning look.


    utz lifted his arm over his face as the blood trickled down on his face, dying his face crimson. If one were to look from afar they might think that utz had injured his head in a battle causing a stream of blood.


    "You wouldn''t have much of a problem since no one knows you and you can easily sneak in. But the same isn''t true for me."


    "I don''t wish to brag. And trust me it is really a pain in the ass. But I am quite popr. Spotting me here would be an instant giveaway. Not having any proper disguise methods avable in the camp shops, this is the best I can pull off."


    utz took out a piece of rag as he tied it on his forehead from where blood seemed to have started flowing. He grabbed onto the damp mud below and brushed it over onto his other cheek.


    It was true that utz could erase his presence. But you never know what might happen on a high risk mission. Not to mention that there were the second gens asmanders as well.


    It was better to be thoroughly prepared and thus utz had disguised himself as a soldier of the Liqui group. His clothes were in tatters, his face was bloody and he seemed to have been thrown around a lot in fights.


    There was no uniform code in any of the groups so utz in old clothing quite unfitting that of the acting general but fitting for that of a ninja couldn''t have worked but perfect.


    Nothing about it stood out as muchpared to the other newbies who were currently fighting a deadtaur themselves. The only thing that might go wrong was his face which wasn''tpletely hidden despite the efforts.


    But utz couldn''t hide his facepletely either as that would be seen as much more suspicious. It would be but an instant giveaway that he was but a robber.


    "Here," Evenlyn handed over a wolf of hers as utz got up from hiding.


    Taking hold of the little gift he sneaked in between the crowd. Everyone was busy with the hunt. The dreadtaur was the imminent threat upon them. Even a moment''s indulgence could lead to their death. No one had noticed the little intruder that was now among them.


    Under his cover, Evelyn began moving away from all of their hard work.


    ''This would take quite a while.''
