Chapter 670 Everyone is shocked
Chapter 670 Everyone is shocked
The pope was furious as he rushed down the steps of the church's hidden basement.
Alongside him was a Jhonny English that was handcuffed and escorted by 4 tier 4 paladins as well as the priestess .
The pope was mostly furious at the very thought that beniogre may have communicated with another mortal to designate him/ her a task.
Even when Rudra was assigned the church's mission , it ran through the pope first as he was beniogre's eyes and ears on this land.
Internally he was not sure if he would be happier if Jhonny was right or if he was wrong , as both outcomes looked equally bad to him , with his dilemma making his mood extremely grumpy.
There were 7 locked doors that were guarded by tier 3 bald guards at all times , as only the guards guarding the door had the key to unlock that very gate.
And under any external threat they were to immediately send the key to their system storage and defend the gate with their lives.
Each gate was basically impregnable , made of 16 inch thick steel that was coated in a special poisonous material that caused severe itchiness upon contact.
Jhonny was extremely impressed by the security of the vault as internally he whistled after seeing the steel gates as they were better than the security on most real life bank vaults.
After walking about 200 steps and passing through 7 gates , they arrived in a narrow passage where 300 guards faced each other with weapons ready.
At the end of the passage was a dimly lit vault with one small keyhole .
As jhonny and the others passed through the guards , Jhonny felt a chill run down his spine as almost every one of the 300 were peak tier 3 while some were also tier 4.
To say that the vault was well guarded would be an understatement as the security was utterly ridiculous.
Even Jhonny felt like slapping himself on the face for thinking that someone could actually successfully steal from this vault undetected as it simply had the best security on the damn planet.
However even so his expression was resolute as it remained confident that on opening the other side of the vault there would be theif present .
When they reached the door of the vault , the pope looked at Jhonny and said " There has been no disturbance and the men have seen noone enter and not even a slightest of sounds coming from the vault.
You have made a mistake sir Jhonny . Admit you are a liar and apologise and i will let this matter rest , else if you make me open this door it will be a very very long prison for you.
I don't care if pope shakuni himself comes to save you , this church will not give its prisoner who lied about the godess go unpunished ".
Jhonny looked at the pope and let his true feelings slide , as he made a funny face that ridiculed the pope.
The man was an internationally wanted criminal spy that had a bounty of over 3 billion dollars on his head. Half the real world was out there to kill him and yet the pope was here trying to threaten him with prison.
Looking at him , Jhonny said " I fear noone ".
Although the pope was significantly stronger than Jhonny he could feel the conviction behind that answer and realise that Jhonny was saying the truth.
He was really not afraid of the punishment , which meant that either he had blind faith in the godess , or he was a madman.
Either way , the pope snorted and proceeded to remove his necklace that he wore at all times from his neck.
As he pressed a hidden button on the pendant , it opened up to reveal a very small key inside.
As the pope inserted that key into the vaults slot , Jhonny couldn't help but giggle a bit as he saw how the massive 60 feet vault was being opened by a 3 centimetres long key.
Preparing to go ghost mode and make a run for it , Jhonny started to warm up and loosen his shoulders , however never did he expect in his life to see the scene that he was about to see next.
Everyone audibly gasped together
The pope
The priestess
The paladins
And the loudest of them all
Jhonny himself.
*******
( Meanwhile Rudra )
Preparing everything just as he needed to Rudra met up with Karna and Neatwit in vanaheim as the other two brought supplies for the mission ahead.
Various bottles of max level HP potions , stamina potions and mana potions alongside special items such as the handheld pulse cannons and some bombs for the purpose of utility.
The atmosphere was very tense with Rudra's anger being at unbelievably high levels as although he did not rage on his teammates , the other two did not want to hover around him when he was this angry.
Rudra had not told Ruby what his plans and intentions were ,but Ruby understood from Rudra's unusual silence that things were about to blow out of proportion.
As the trio was leaving , she did not try to stop them or even tell Rudra to not do it for her , she only did an elven ritual to wish his a safe return from war.
" Come back soon ... " Were her only words as this this time there were no tears in her eyes and no sadness on her face.
She had accepted that her to be husband was a king and needed to perform his kingly duties. If she tried to stop her from doing something dangerous everytime he made up his mind , she might as well have chosen to marry a farmer than a warrior.
As the trio got up on Rudra's bone dragon as they flew towards the kingdom of the dark elves , they looked over the horizon to only see an endless dense forest .
With the kingdom of the dark elves being a 3 day journey byroad , but only a 4 hour one by air bypassing the dense forest , they could safely say that they were on the fastest route to their enemies destruction.
