Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 748 - 703: Cardinal Prudenceʼs Worry

At the same time that Incursio killed the Pope men sent to monitor the dungeon leading to Exodus, one of the Cardinals in charge of the Shadow division opened his eyes and frowned.

ʼʼWhat is the problem?” Another cardinal, a short and plump man, asked.

The leader of the Shadow division sighed, in a heavy tone, he explained.

ʼʼThe eight men I sent to monitor the entrance of the dungeon just died now; they died simultaneously.ʼʼ

ʼʼWhat?” The plump cardinal said, shocked, in Mysthia managing to step into the grandmaster could be said to a huge accomplishment, because they are the third strongest starting from the top, so naturally, upon hearing that eight Grandmasters were killed simultaneously in few minutes shocked the plump cardinal, he wondered what kind of individual was capable of doing something like that in few minutes.

ʼʼShould you inform the Pope about this situation? Maybe the Eighth and his friend are back.ʼʼ the plump cardinal suggested; however, the leader of the shadow division shook his head.

ʼʼNo! Itʼs not the eighth group doing. A single person has executed this massacre.ʼʼ

ʼʼWhat?”

If previously he was shocked upon hearing that a group of eight Grandmasters was killed in minutes, he was more shocked upon hearing that it was the doing of only one person; how strong must be this person do in a few minutes?

The plump cardinal felt a chill run down his back. His plump cheek giggled, creating a funny scene, but at the moment, none of them could be bothered by this.

ʼʼItʼs true, you know that every leader in my squad has a soul crystal?” The leader of the Shadow division said, and the plump cardinal nodded.

ʼʼI do.ʼʼ

Suddenly his eyes widened when a realization dawned upon him.

ʼʼWait, you saw the dying leaderʼs last memory?”

The leader of the Shadow division nodded, and the plump cardinal immediately raised a question.

ʼʼDid you manage to see the other partyʼs face? If you saw this personʼs face, then it would help us identify them.ʼʼ

ʼʼUnfortunately, I didnʼt manage to see the other partyʼs face; it was blurry, not even the gender could be identified. All I know is that it was one person doing, and this person is not the Eighth or someone from his group. Itʼs an unknown force.ʼʼ

ʼʼI see, itʼs truly unfortunate then. However, I think the right choice should be to inform the Pope; he must be informed. At least he will prepare some countermeasures; you know we are at a stage where any mishap can result in a devastating outcome, so we ought to be vigilant. You understand that, donʼt you?”

At the plump cardinal words, the cardinal, leader of the Shadow division, sighed before nodding; the plump cardinal was known for being the most vigilant of the Cardinals, but his words werenʼt without basics, even so, he couldnʼt do himself, he needed someone; fortunately the plump cardinal whose name was Prudence happened to be together with him.

ʼʼPrudence, please inform the Pope I will investigate; someone has to get the bottom of this affair. I must not let my menʼs death unpunished, Iʼm Saint after all, and as their leader, I must do something.ʼʼ

Prudence, the plump cardinal, nodded; although he wished to say something, he knew that it was unneeded because once this man takes a decision, even the Pope would find it hard to change.

ʼʼOkay, Horace, Iʼll inform the Pope, but please take care when youʼre on a mission. We will not lose another cardinal.ʼʼ

Cardinal Horace nodded his head, and black mist shrouded his body, and he disappeared; it was funny when you think about a member of the Holy Crux empire, holy sanctuary in Mysthia using dark element; it could not be more fun.

Cardinal Prudence shook his plump head and left to inform the Pope about what had happened. To tell the truth, he didnʼt want anything of what happened, they should have lived in harmony with Alexander, but they chose the road of confrontation by kidnapping his woman, he was sure to retaliate.

While everyone thought that they would triumph over him, Prudence did not share the same thought, no matter what type of preparation was made, the eighth was a variable, and a variable would never move as you predicted no matter what kind of prediction calculation you made because if it did it would not be called a variable anyway.

Cardinal Prudence was good at divination, but because of his cautious nature, the others never took him seriously; he had divined that if they kidnapped Luna, a bloodbath would soon ensue. Still, nobody listened to him, saying he was too cautious. It was why he invented those divinations; even the Pope, the supreme existence, did not take his advice seriously.

ʼʼWhat a shame, I do hope Iʼm overthinking as everyone said if not, it will spam the end of the Holy Crux empire, we will fall from the rank of a superpower if my divination became a reality.ʼʼ Cardinal Prudence mumbled as he headed to the Popeʼs location.

A broken tower, bodies littered the ground, blood drenching the alleys, a scene of total carnage. Those were the scenes he saw upon divining on Alex. He tried to warn the Pope, but all cardinal Prudence received was a smile and those following words.

ʼʼDonʼt worry, everything will be fine, itʼs goddess will, she is omnipotent.ʼʼ

Had said the pope, eyes filled with nothing but infuation. Cardinal Prudence felt a chill down his spine; he almost blurted out that nobody in this life was omnipotent; if she was, she would have ended up in that situation and would have required human help to be saved.

Unfortunately, he could not say those words because it would be considered blasphemy, and the sentence for blasphemy was heavy; he might lose his life which he held dearest.

Cardinal Prudence stayed silent and said nothing; he was sure that if he used this chance to warn the Pope, he would not listen, and it was exactly what happened when he saw him and told him what happened; using this opportunity this opportunity he warned the Pope to be vigilant, but all he said was it was the goddessʼs wish, he didnʼt listen, and cardinal Prudence sighed hoping that his worries never come true.
