Chapter 92 - The fallen god blessing (1/2)
There's three people currently talking about their plan on taking down the saint and saintess of the church, I couldn't really grasp what they're talking but one of them, a woman that looks like in her early 30 pique my interest, in a rather uncomfortable way. Just what is this feeling, it's familiar but at the same time it felt distant. Plus, just why did I feel like she actually notices me
”That because I did” [?]
”!” [Ash]
”What are you talking about Mrs Agnes?” [Old follower A]
”Yeah, what are you...!” [Old follower B]
”What the..!” [Old follower A]
Since my cover already blown up, I decided to throw my scythe imbued with my thunder magic towards the three of them, and as expected, the two men couldn't even react fast enough to detect it, let alone dodging it. As for the woman that they called Agnes, she takes out her staff and dash not towards me, but toward Kanji and Qudus
~Stone wall cracked~
She simply swings her staff and the thick earth wall that I used to shield Kanji and Qudus was cracked in an instant before finally destroy by her. Well, did she really think I can only make one earth wall at a time
”Sigh... as expected from someone with the Goddess Achalasia blessings” [Agnes]
”And I suppose that makes you having the fallen god blessing?” [Ash]
”Sharp, aren't you” [Agnes]
So the uncomfortable feeling that I felt really is the blessings from the fallen god, but somehow, somehow, all my intuition is telling me there's more to this than what is actually presented.
”Well, I suppose I should take my leave” [Agnes]
”Oh no you don't!” [Ash]
I don't know why, she's strong and would give me a hard time should she fight with me, but she chose to run away. Is this a trap? Is she trying to lure me to a place where it is advantageous for her?
”Kanji, Qudus! Tie those two lying on the ground and get out of here! I'll chase that woman for now!” [Ash]
”But!” [Kanji]
”Just do it!” [Qudus]
I don't know whether Qudus understand what my thoughts process were or it simply him being concerned about his own safety, but I'm thankful for his quick response. I do want the two of them to bring back the two knocked out follower back to Haliza so that we could at least get some information from them (should this Agnes escape from my grasp)
As I keep on chasing after her, I came across an underground facilities that are used to keep the slaves in place. I can say that they're slaves with confidence as there are actually children and babies among them being taken care of by what I assume to be their parents. God, some of them are completely naked...
”!” [Ash]
Three small iron rod staffs come accelerated towards me, it's fast but still within my reaction time. The staffs then glows strangely...
”This is bad!” [Ash]
With my item box magic, I quickly kick the three staffs inside of it. I make sure that I created a new space as to left the importance thing inside of it left unscathed.
~Boom~
As I am about to close the item box magic, I can hear a loud explosive sound coming from inside. But, that's not all
(Seriously, more of it!) [Ash]
And to make it worst, it not only targeted me, but also the others as well. This will be hard but there's no other way. I will create new item box and let it open at the place where the staffs are going, that way I can cover all of them. The thing is, I never open up more than one item box at a time, so this is...
(What, this time, it didn't explode!) [Ash]
”Gotcha!” [Agnes]
”Thunder spikes!” [Ash]
”Tchh!” [Agnes]
Tchh, she makes a fool out of me. Once again, thank goodness for my fast reaction time, otherwise she would have got me. Plus...
”What is with that ugly syringe!” [Ash]
”Oh, afraid of blood?” [Agnes]
”Hmph, doesn't feel like you're targeting by blood” [Ash]
”Who knows” [Agnes]
And the second cat and mouse game started, or about to start
~Slam~
