At the pier, Dray grunted as he dropped a large crate of food on the ground and wiped the sweat from his brow. It seems that Elias was right. Today was the perfect day to infiltrate the kingdom.
Elias and Dray made a lot of plans about how Dray should come into Uta. Elias managed to get a tip from one of his spies in Uta about the border opening today, and Elias decided that it would be best to use this opportunity. Elias opened a portal from the church to the border of Uta, and he left Dray at the pier. From there, Dray would do everything on his own. The first thing that Dray had to do was find a way to enter Uta without arousing suspicion. Dray can't just waltz into Uta without the soldiers suspecting him, so he decided to join the workers that would be bringing the goods into the kingdom.
As Dray dropped the last crate, he took a look around. There were a lot of other workers carrying boxes and some of the workers that were done with their work were resting on one side of the pier.
Dray walked up to them, and he spoke to the man that seemed like the leader there. Dray told the man that he had to leave and that he would come back later. The man nodded and waved Dray away. The men were busy talking about Ophis, so the leader didn't even pay any attention to Dray. All the workers were mesmerized by Ophis, and they were talking about who might get a chance to talk to her first. Everyone wanted to try their chances with her but they were all afraid of the Grand Commander since it looks like the Grand commander was also interested in her. They won't be able to make any moves without making the Grand Commander their enemy.
Dray walked away and he easily entered the kingdom without anyone suspecting him. Anyone who saw him would think he was just a worker going somewhere. Dray walked deeper into the kingdom before going into an alleyway. He tossed his clothes to one side and brought a change of clothes from his bag.
Dray needed to get into the church as soon as possible. He heard from the spy that the hero would always choose one person from the church to join her party, and Dray needed to make sure that he was that person. A quick spell allowed Dray to clean himself up and he put on the priest's robe that he got from Elias. By the time Dray walked out from the other side of the alleyway, he was unrecognizable. He made sure that no one was following him, and he threw up his hood before making his way toward the church. The church in Uta was located on the south side of the kingdom. There was only a small gate separating the church from the kingdom and there was only a single knight standing guard at the gate. He was only an A-class and he was someone that Dray could kill without even trying, but Dray couldn't just kill the knight since he had to move around without attracting attention. So he just made his way toward the guard calmly and threw down his hood.
The guard had a tired look in his eyes and Dray knew that the guard was completely bored out of his mind! He probably didn't even want to be here and he was so only doing this because he was ordered to!
Dray was right, the guard couldn't care less about protecting the church! Who would even want to attack the church and what would they want to steal from a church!? The guard would have left this position a long time ago if he was given a chance! The only reason he is here is that he wasn't strong enough to become a palace guard! If only I had a bit more power I would have applied to be moved to another part of the kingdom instead of this stupid church!
When the guard saw Dray coming toward him, he sighed as he moved to the side. The priests in Uta always wore a red and black priest's robe but even though Dray was wearing a full black priest's robe the guard still didn't care at all. He knew that it would be too much trouble to start asking the priest why he was wearing another color. There were a lot of priests that were sent out on pilgrimages and they usually wore different colors and robes to protect themselves from the weather in different ways. As long as the person passing through is wearing a priest robe, the guard couldn't give less of a fuck.
Dray gave the guard a nod and then he passed through the gate and made his way into the sanctuary. The main front yard of the church was empty because most of the priests were inside for the sermon. Dray looked from right to left inside the sanctuary and he saw that it was also empty. Good, he can easily steal a proper robe before a real priest sees him.
Dray snuck towards the inner sanctuary and he saw a warning on the door leading inside.
[Only the anointed of the lord shall pass this door]
Dray scoffed and opened the door to make his way inside. He didn't believe in any god and he didn't even know what sort of god this church was worshipping. Was it the same lord that all the other churches worshiped? The church that Dray and Elias were hiding in worshiped a god as well and Dray was certain that god wasn't the same as this god. With these many gods, doesn't it get confusing after a while? Do they all get together to have some sort of god convention where they compete to see which god is the strongest?
Instead of focusing so much on the god you can't see, why don't they start focusing more on the superpowered monsters that are alive? I would be more concerned if there was a church worshipping the demon lord instead of this church that worships an invincible god!
As Dray got into the inner sanctuary, he started to look around to see if he could find any extra robes. There were many cupboards around the room and he started looking from the right side to the left. He saw some wine and also many candles and crosses but there was no robe. Dray just kept on throwing things to the side as he searched for the robes but he had to stop when there was a sudden sound from the door!
Ka-cha!
The door to the room suddenly opened and Dray cursed as he heard two voices coming from outside.
"Mmph! F-Father, we shouldn't be doing this. Mmph~They'll see us!"
That was a woman's voice and Dray moved to the side as he saw her enter the room while walking backward. Another voice spoke up with deep reverb.
"Sister Lily, don't act like that. They are all in the mass and we have time to ourselves. Let's just be fast! They will never know!"
The sound of kissing and moaning echoed in the room and Dray rolled his eyes as the two of them came into the room and the father shut the door behind him. Dray waited for the priest to start pulling the nun's gown up before he made his move!
Dray ran out from behind the cupboard and the priest never even noticed a thing before he died. A dagger stabbed deep into the priest's neck and Dray put his hand over the man's mouth to prevent him from screaming out as he was killed! The nun was facing her back to them so she didn't know what happened. She was surprised when the priest stopped and she looked back to see why he stopped pumping into her.
Her eyes widened in shock as she saw Dray standing behind the priest and she was about to scream but Dray dragged the dagger out of the priest's neck and he threw it with wicked precision into the woman's mouth!
Squelch!!
Her voice broke and she stumbled back into the wall behind her before slumping to the ground. Dray grimaced in annoyance. This won't be easy to hide.
Dray couldn't believe that shit like this even happens inside churches. The priest and nuns were fucking. That has to be some sort of sacrilegious sin for sure!
Dray shook his head as he walked towards the nun and grabbed the knife from her mouth before he cleaned it and hid it behind him again. He has to find that robe and get out of here quickly. He can't be here when they finish the mass so they won't suspect him.
Dray continued looking through the cupboards and he finally found a priest's robe in Hsi size. He nodded and changed quickly before he made his way out of the room. Dray moved towards the building where the mass was taking place and he stayed at the side of the room after he entered. Dray already memorized how masses were held when he was in the former church so it wasn't difficult for him to join the congregation when they were moving around. By the time they were moving out of the church, Dray walked with them like he has always been there.
