Following Veronica's guidance, Alex and Stella dropped onto one of the noble islands. They naturally didn't have any invitation, so they invaded the island. Fortunately, no one noticed them.
The quality of the island was superb, and so were its defenses.
Alex and Stella had a hard time navigating here because they kept looking out for traps and other stuff that could potentially expose their location.
They were still lucky as the head of the Lefius Household liked forests littered with stones and ponds. All islands under his surname were the same, and the island that Alex had invaded was no exception.
They crept around these, unaware that Veronica's aura had played the most significant role in their invasion. Although she was unaware of it, Veronica exuded a power that allowed her to bypass all defenses and other formations against thieves.
She just rendered them useless.
Alex and Stella had been beneficent of that.
At last, thanks to Veronica's guidance, Alex and Stella arrived before a mansion that didn't stand out. It was one of many vast houses with which those nobles proudly flaunted their wealth, not looking like a prison.
Yet, prison it was. Alex and his beloved would soon see the truth.
First, they opened one of the doors, silently creeping in. Then going through many dark corridors and empty corridors, Alex found a way to the mansion's basement. He didn't wait a second before going here, his hand tightly holding Veronica's.
Stella was on his other side, carefully sticking to her husband.
At the very least, Alex saw doors ajar. He peeked through them, his eyes widening on the spot. In the underground, there was a room of the hall size, vast to hold more than two thousand children.
They were beaten, mistreated, and even hungry; their bodies were covered in bruises and blood. This experiment was meant to bring out an authority, then have the noble man seize it for himself.
But so far, no one had managed to summon it. Similarly, no one ever escaped that place except for one little girl. And this very girl was so clever and fast that the chances of her holding authority were higher than the others.
"Stella… We will die soon," Alex smiled bitterly, counting the number of high levels with his eyes while speaking to his beloved, "I easily accepted the fact that I am weaker just because it is a real, high-level ground and world.
But for the first time, I am really fed up with my low level," Alex clenched his teeth and glared at all those guards.
Their levels ranged from level three hundred to three hundred and fifty. Their battle experience might be even lower than Alex's, yet the gap between him and them would turn that experience insignificant.
It was obvious that once they all ganged up on him and Stella, they would be able to seize intruders in a few moves.
"You can turn back, father, mother," Veronica faintly smiled at Alex and Stella, speaking the title she had never had a chance to, then forced a much wider smile to reassure them, "I can do it alone! You don't have to worry or pay the price!"
"Quiet," Stella said in a mommy tone, not yet sounding like Sara or her mother when she was angry, yet her tone and emotions behind her voice brought Veronica's face down, and she nodded, listening to Stella momma.
"I will not abandon you. Never," Stella added before turning her eyes to her beloved— her hands stroking Veronica filled the little girl with even more warmth, brightening her expression — "We can start the plan. Are you both ready?"
"Yes," Veronica replied with a broad smile.
Alex nodded, "Ready."

Holiness never meant goodwill or a kind heart.
Even in the Winged Realm, there were people whose fame as Deadly Wing Warriors stretched toward other realms. In the past, some other realms were interested in winged people and vice versa.
Besides, holy mana could inflict damage on races such as vampires, werewolves, or dullahans. The world was truly black and white.
And because of those experiences and natural aspects, the guards on the watch could emotionlessly gaze at the captured children crying and wailing in pain. They hadn't closed their eyes at all, maintaining composure.
Their expressions rippled when an explosion occurred in the middle.
BANG!
They didn't utter a word; their eyes gleamed in a piercing light. They scanned the hall, wanting to find the perpetrator. And it wasn't so hard to find him. In fact, there were two of them.
One of them was a man with many arms and dark wings. He exuded so many different auras that the guards momentarily were stunned by his show. He separated one of those arms, fueling most of his mana into Divine Winged Totem.
Stella was also in her Ultimate Skill Form, drawing all kids to her side through her wind control. She imbued her wind with holiness and tended to their wounds as well.
Veronica happily looked at the show, waving at her friends, finally getting freedom. Because she was in such a good mood, and Alex had already taken out his ticket invitations, her authority entered Alex's heart. His invitation tickets shone with golden light for a second, then like stars, they went straight into little kids' bodies.
They disappeared into the Deathwill Castle in the blink of an eye. That was mainly because of Veronica's wish and power, but even those kids knew they were getting saved by two foreigners.
"Everyone is gone!" Veronica chirped happily! She lifted her beautiful eyes at Alex and Stella, wanting to say so many words she couldn't utter one, for she had just too many.
But as the heavy pressure descended on them, Veronica knew she couldn't speak at all…
Alex smiled, passing her invitation ticket, "Go to the castle. We will be here tomorrow."
"Okay!" Veronica accepted the invitation, seeing through Alex's genuine feelings and Stella's smile, then disappeared from the scene.
At that time, all guards closed up distance, their winds a tad faster. A sharp tornado embraced Stella and Alex, but they were smiling, clearly not minding the damage at all.
The kids suffered here much more, and now they had saved them.
As they did that blessing, a little pain from high-level winged was nothing.
"Capture them, instead!"
But even that was impossible as Alex and Stella killed themselves. They didn't drop any items, for these had also been sent to the Deathwill Castle.
And so, the mission ended quickly and perfectly.
