Chapter 469 - A New Quest
Chapter 469 - A New Quest
Rudra was in the royal palace , when a trembling church of light paladin and an exasperated looking Cardinal Lee came to him , barely able to utter words that sounded complete gibberish to Rudra.
The only thing that Rudra could make sense was 2 words. ' Come ' ' Church '. Soo Rudra asked them if they wanted to take him to the church of light and they nodded . After which the three of them went to the Church Of Light where an unexpected visitor was waiting for Rudra.
The moment Rudra's eyes landed on that man , goosebumps rose on his skin as his eyes of truth went into overdrive. He could see strands of light energy coming out of every inch of this man's body while a angelic Halo behind his head .
If he also had white wings , Rudra might have mistaken him for an actual angel , however the gold ring with the red gem on it , and the spotless white robes , gave Rudra an inkling to who he might be.
Using the eyes of truth , Rudra tried to pry into his level , but the only information that he could get out was
[ Saint Maximus ] ( Level: ???? Tier : 5 )
While the paladins surrounding him were equally formidable with each and every one of them clad in golden armour being on the peak of tier 4.
Rudra knew at that moment , that he was looking at one of the most powerful men in the entire nothern continent . Someone who can be called god's representative on earth and the leader of every beleiver of Church of light.?The pope himself !
Once Rudra's mind drew that conclusion , a lot of things made sense to him , from the shocked expression of Cardinal Lee , to the gibberish he spoke before leading Rudra here in sweats. It was because of this man here
But the question that now formed in Rudra's mind was ' Why?' why was he looking for Rudra ... And what was such an important matter that he had to come personally to inform him of it?
However , Rudra's mind blanked of all thoughts when the pope smiled at him , the radiance and kindness behind that smile momentarily stunned Rudra , as he said " We are at the temple , won't you pray first my child? "
Breaking from his stupor , Rudra bent down and started to pray before the statue of the goddess of light .... Internally he was ready for a really turmulous job incoming his way. As not getting to the point and establishing a connection first meant that whatever buisness the pope had , was extremely serious.

( Meanwhile in the real world, somewhere in City T , Japan )
Dronacharya was shopping for groceries , as he picked stuff from the clearance rack to save money. While also using coupons and single coins at checkout to completely solidify his image as a struggling college passout.
He walked calmly with a hand in his pocket , completely aware of the two men who were tailing him since the last two hours. However his act had no holes , it was difficult for anyone to even remember him even if they met him , he was such an average looking guy with an average life.
The followers feeling anxious about their mission , as they started to have second doubts about the authenticity of the target they were following.
Although the face matched , by no means did the kid look or act like a trillionare and someone who was a leader of a series of influential guilds in Omega.
When one of them cracked after two hours of peasant like behaviour of the suspect . He decided to bump into the guy and test wether he was the martial arts expert his profile made him to be.
Purposefully bumping into the guy hard , shoulder to shoulder the pursutant tried to test his martial arts reflexes and see how strong his body was. But unlike his expectations , dronacharya just crumpled onto the floor , holding his shoulder in pain and whailing like a kid .
The pursutant was aghasted , if he had any prior doubts that he had the wrong target , it was confirmed now . Apologising he helped dronacharya get up , while dronacharya just accepted his apology like a wimp and continued on his way.
The duo who were supposed to tail this guy , went back to the agency , as they doubted that they accidentally found a simmilar looking guy , but someone who was surely not the target. However the moment the duo got into the seats of their car , they were aghasted to feel a pistol at both their necks.
It was Dronacharya , who had a murderous cold gleam in his eyes , completely unlike a minute ago when he was acting like a wimp.
After asking a few short questions like , who are you and who do you work for . Dronacharya hit the triggers on both guns , as the suppressor infront fired two muffled bullets blowing the brains off two people .
Blood splattered in the car , as some drops even fell on the grocery bag , dronacharya was carrying. However he got out with that bag and walked off as if nothing ever happened . Making a phone call on his way .
Even though his shirt was splattered with drops of blood , the retarded way in which he walked made him look like the recipient of a beatdown rather than someone who had just killed two men in cold blood. However , that was just who dronacharya was. His reality being shrouded in a veil , as he was not what he seemed to be.
Coming back home , dronacharya furiously scribbled some notes , as he pasted them on the massive wall of images and connecting lines of colored thread. A mindmap of sorts just like the federal agents made. With the centre of the web being the photo of the first bath of Elites.
The same photo that hangs inside the Elites guild hall ....
