Chapter 169 To kill a living god 3 (2/2)

Mars stood up from his chair and walked over in front of Velvet and put his hand down on her hair and ruffled it a bit before he said

”goodbye Velvet, I'll see you soon”

”...you better keep your promise”

”I will, see you”

Mars walked out of Velvet's champers with Victoria following after him and soon he returned to the old demon's courtyard and found the entire staff of the mansion was lined up in the courtyard along with the old demon's two disciples Jacob and Alex, the old demon walked over to Mars and gave him a manly hug before he clapped him on the shoulder and said

”come back soon Mars”

Mars gave a smile

”I will”

then he waved at the staff which he had become familiar with over his stay and turned before he opened a portal to Green river and steeped though...

Back at Green river Mars spent a couple of days 'pacifying' the girls since he had been gone for so long after that he put his focus on imbuing a set of clothes with magic formations, since his armor was wrecked from his last encounter with Yirmir, he chose the suit he had received from the tailor in his building and started working on it, he imbued the formation runes on the inside of the suit so he didn't ruin its smooth look and after working for a couple of days he was finished and went to bed...

The next morning Mars slowly opened his eyes and looked around, he was alone in the king sized bed, clearly he had overslept

'well whatever...'

Mars turned over and laid on his side as he looked at the wall of the bedroom with an empty stare while he space out for a bit until the look in his eyes suddenly sharpened

'today is the day I kill Yirmir'

Mars now fully awake got out of bed and got dressed before he left the bedroom and ran into Elsa just outside the door, she wore her apron and Mars could smell freshly made food on her

”oh Mars just in time, breakfast is ready”

”got it”

Mars ate breakfast with the girls and casually mentioned he had something to do today and so he would be out of the house all day

”then can you drop me off at the academy, I would like to go visit Hanna”

”sure Elsa, I'll just need to get changed first...”

Mars quickly inhaled his breakfast before he went to his workshop and changed into his suit, now looking dapper as fuck and well dressed for murder Mars walked up to the rooftop where Elsa was waiting

”you ready?”

”sure”

”then let's go, I'll pick you up in the evening”

Elsa gave a nod and stepped into the portal Mars had opened to the academy before it closed again, then Mars took a deep breath and put a hand on the hilt of his sword as the look in his eyes sharpened before he ripped open space and stepped through the portal to the city of prayer...

After arriving in a plaza in the middle of the city of prayers Mars made his way to the mansion district while ignoring the looks he was getting from the onlookers that had seen the portal open, at the mansion district Mars Mars quickly found Yirmir's mansion and walked over and kicked down the gate with a single kick before he walked into the mansion and found it... empty

”well shit...”

not feeling like staying in Yirmir's empty mansion Mars walked back out of the mansion and asked around in the vicinity where he could find Yirmir, showing a bright smile as well as his sword turned out to be strangely persuasive and so soon he learned where Yirmir was located and made his way back downtown to the cathedral where a giant crowd had formed outside, a public worship was being held by the bishop which was an aged man with a long white beard, behind the speaker platform was rows of chairs were the lesser ranked temple officials sat and behind them were a set of chairs that were occupied by apostles among them Mars spotted Yirmir that had a bored expression on his face, Mars thought for a moment and went around the crowd and approached the guards before he pulled out his 13 pointed silver star and showed itto the guards, he was then quickly allowed though and a seat was prepared for him next to the other apostles where he sat down and smiled at the crowd before he looked sideways over at Yrimir that also had spotted him and had a ugly expression on his face as his eyes clearly was clouded over with anger, Mars gave him a little wave with a smile on his face before he put his focus back on the bishop and his speech which seemed to continue on and on like this kind of speeches often do...

A few hours later the bishop's speech was finally over and the bishop stepped down from the speaker platform to an ear deafening appose which woke Mars as well as some of the other apostles up from their sleep, Mars stretched and quickly confirmed his target was still there before he suddenly stood up and walked away from Yirmir out of the seating area and past the guards before he turned and looked at Yrimir with a smile on his face and gave a small wave before he suddenly turned and ran away from the crowd, this caused Yirmir to quickly stand up and run after him

'just as planned...'

Mars slowed his pace and confirmed Yirmir still was following him before he continued running along the streets of the city of prayer, he suddenly felt something was wrong and looked behind him and saw Yirmir was rapidly closing the distance, Mars gave a smile and activated [Half-awaken]
