Chapter 195: Infiltration to the Church of Order Part 1

This is not what I expected. No wonder the mercenaries I have seen so far are all warriors. Even though there are medics among them, they are usually carrying big bags containing herbs and concoctions inside a bottle all stuffed inside their bags which is opposite to what I envisioned of Healers who are all carrying a staff and wears a white robe.

If all people are reliant on using Philosopher's stones to use magic, then the people are all going to have a dire need of supply to the Philosopher's stones.

Since I got the proper layout of the church's main interior, I have gained a good knowledge of what to do once we are inside. I am not a selfish person so I quickly laid out to the two the plan once we are inside. They didn't doubt my plan about the structure inside since I can see what is the entire layout of the place using my so-called "mapping skill" though I won't deny it since the [Insight] ability of mine can see the whole surroundings which work similarly to a mapping skill they are talking about.

...

It didn't take long before nightfall came. Since we didn't have any sort of time measuring device like watches since the time in my phone doesn't work the same way as the time here, we have to rely on the sun's movement.

Once the darkness creeps in and the church is no longer shining in the light, is also the beginning of our operation.

We made sure to move as quietly as possible without letting the enemies alert us. With the memories of the priest I neutralized earlier, I can determine the best place to sneak in and has the least amount of guards that will be patrolling the hallways.

Getting in successfully, we make our move to the basement. The movements of the guards are not random, they follow their routines of walking, and just like in some games, as long as you are not in their line of sight, you won't be spotted. It's kinda dumb but it works for us so I am not complaining.

Due to that, we can enter the basement without being detected. With our arrival in the basement, I hand them the robes of the priests.

"Wear those. That way, we can imitate the priests," I said before handing them those robes.

"A disguise? Is this possible enough for them to be fooled?" Yami complained.

"We don't need to act like one. We just needed to use this for fooling those guys," and pointed the guards in the hallway.

"Are we going to eliminate them?"

"That is my job. You guys should locate the prisoners. It's my job to dispose the trash. You guys don't need to worry about them."

The two quickly put the cloaks on and followed my lead. The guards didn't check who passed by as we are in cloaks. However, I made sure they will never ring their alarms ever again as I electrocuted them to the point where they will never be able to wake up again.

Their armors released a burnt smell as the guards who were standing strong earlier slump down to the floor. They were taken care of. We continue walking in the hallways and we are not yet in the center of the facility when we heard a scream of a man.

"GYAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Eeek! What was that?!" Aria who is currently on Ishana's cloak peeks out of curiosity.

"That scream is around this corner!" Ishana said and headed into the corner first.

I followed suit and we arrived on the dead-end of the underground room. The screams are coming in this room which means the person inside is currently being "harvested" with resources for Philosopher's stone. However, we can't see anything past the door since it is a metal door without any gaps or anything we can use to take a peek. I can tell what is happening inside the room using my [Insight], however, I don't need to activate it because the situation is already clear.

Aside from the screaming voice of a male, we can also hear a terrible, sadistic laugh inside. I can't make out what the maniac is currently saying but based on his tone, he is enjoying the torture he is giving to the victim.

"Yami, your ability is fire right? Can you melt a metal door using the magic you possess?" I asked.

"Of course. If you want me to blast through, I will do it," Yami is determined.

"Burn the metal hinges as fast as possible and make sure that the door can be removed after doing so," I ordered.

Yami didn't complain this time and went along to my orders. He quickly melt the metal hinges of the door and the moment it melted, he forced the door open immediately. I didn't stop him from doing so because I was about to do the same as him. He just did it first.

The person who was inside the room was surprised by the ruckus.

"Who are you people disturbing my "harvest session?!" he aimed his knife in front of us.

However, that knife didn't pose a threat to us, I simply throw a small fireball in a size of a marble and flick it to the maniac's hands, deflecting the knife and causing him to release it from his grasp.

Yami quickly grab a hold on his head and before he can say anything, he bash his head to the wall, causing the guy who is torturing earlier to collapse.

Ishana took the opportunity to use the ruckus to release the bleeding man from the restraints. I already asked Inari-sama to help get the wounded out of the area which is to use her foxes to escape the facility. I don't know how she did it but I already can tell that the guy we rescued just now is already outside the facility.

"What shall we do about this guy?" Yami asked.

"Let's go, he won't be able to stand back up again." I said.

"Are you sure? I mean, this guy is a potential danger!" Ishana said.

"Don't worry. Didn't I tell you guys I will be disposing the trash? I am not someone who will just let one trash go."
