CRASH LANDING

[User is exposed to sunlight, all stat decreased by 70%]
Ushar groaned as he stepped out of a circular hole in the ground that soon closed back. The sky above was not so bright, dusk was upon them already but to a vampire, even the last rays of the sun were still fatal.
“Hey, you don’t look good.” Ryan who was standing some distance away beside a large helicopter spoke as he threw something to Ushar.
Ushar watched it land by his feet as Ryan spoke on, “grab its handle, press the button and hold it over your head.” Then the man walked into the helicopter.
“I know how to use an umbrella.” Ushar muttered as he picked the item thrown to him from the ground and pressed the button, it was indeed an umbrella and the direct sun rays were soon blocked from reaching Ushar who sighed.
“Feels much better.” He muttered with a large smile on his face as he walked towards the helicopter sitting inside it beside Ryan who was actually the pilot.
Ushar suddenly saw the blades running as the wind picked up speed throwing sand and dust around while the Helicopter began to lift off the ground. He was going to ask a question before something beeped in his ear and then the system interface popped up in his sight.

Ushar could not help be appalled by his skill set. There was only one skill in there but before getting the system, Ushar had not only his mental control skill but also his transformation and bone skills. Now they were all gone but the Boss had told him about this and also told him that he would get them back in due time.
“Hey, Bone Demon. How do you plan to approach the mission?” Ryan suddenly spoke by the side and Ushar slowly glanced at him.
“Don’t you see I am looking at something?” He asked with raised brow.
“You are looking into the air, that’s all I see.” Ryan replied and Ushar frowned as he realized the system interface was following his sight everywhere but Ryan did seem to not really notice it.
‘The system is being projected into the User’s mind, no external person can see it.’ The system suddenly spoke in Ushar ear and he glanced at Ryan again, the man did not seem to have heard that.
“Guess you really didn’t.” Ushar muttered as he dismissed the system’s interface and then brought out his phone, typing slowly on it.
“Hey, are you for real? Are you really just checking out the mission details now?” Ryan’s eyes were almost bulging out of their sockets.
“Yes, I am.” Ushar replied simply and Ryan’s face trembled for a moment.
“The next thing you will tell me now is that you brought no tools along, right?” He asked but Ushar face slowly turned dark by the side.
“We are going to demolish a house?” He asked with an unbelieving face.
“A mansion” Ryan corrected and Ushar turned at him with a scrunched face.
“You really think I care about specification. I thought the seeker mercenaries were supposed to be some terrifying secret organization dealing with supernatural problem and like. Why the hell would we be demolishing a building? What the f**k happened to the construction companies?” Ushar thundered angrily.
“At least you know what exactly we’re doing now and if you think it is going to be so simple, then you might want to have a rethink. Still you are right about one thing, no one is dying in this process, even if the police come the most we can do is incapacitate them. Hope you understand?” Ryan spoke and Ushar closed his eyes for a moment before nodding his head.
He certainly would never make the mistake of not checking out a mission before embarking on it ever again.
“Actually, this demolition isn’t just a demolition. An election is approaching and each side is doing everything they can to retain power. The house we are going to destroy is supposed to be a safe place for one of the top politician’s family, he however wants to destroy it and blame the destruction on his opponents. He wants it to appear like they are trying to get rid of him and his family and trust me; the public will immediately go mad once this gets out and the opposition will be having a busy time explaining – especially when they can’t pinpoint the perpetrators.” Ryan said with a smile.
Silence followed for sometimes but Ushar eventually replied, “That sounds evil.”
“Yes, it is but the seekers will take any job as long as it doesn’t involve innocent lives being lost.” Ryan replied with a shrug.
Time passed in silence and eventually, Ushar could see a large blue mansion in the distance. He was going to ask if this was their target when Ryan spoke up.
“Grab the bags behind and prepare to leap.” He shouted and Ushar frowned.
“Why should I leap, won’t you land the copter?” He asked.
“This copter is crashing in a minute Ushar, just do what I say.” Ryan replied.
“Just do what you say? Do I seriously look to you like someone who does what others say?” Ushar asked with wide eyes but ignoring him, the door on both sides of the helicopter opened as Ryan grabbed a bag and shot down, now there was one other bag left in the wobbling copter with Ushar.
“f**k this!” Ushar cursed as he also grabbed the bag and shot out of the copter as well.
