Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy

Chapter 149 149:Dark Church's Plight

A man covered in blood entered a dark lane while gasping heavily.

Entering a small building, he gasped heavily and spoke hurriedly"I have been chased by some unknown people."

"What's going on? Why are you so frightened?Who are they?"

"I don't know who they are but they chased me as if I had a huge bounty on my head . I was able to escape with great difficulty."

"Did they find out about our identity?"

"Definitely not…"

BOOM!

Before he could finish his centre, the entire roof of the building was blown away and a heavy armour man appeared in their vision.

"So, this is where measly bugs of Dark Church were hiding."

The people in it screamed and tried to escape but at the very next moment, a huge force struck them and their vision turned black.

This wasn't the only place where things like this happened, many secret hideouts of the Dark Church had been destroyed by Imperial Knights.

Even inquisitors of the Church joined the fracas and started butchering Black Wizards and others who had accepted the religion.

It was a bloodbath as the Imperial Knight and Church Inquisitor went on a rampage showing the consequences of touching The Saintess and Princess.

Members of black forces run around frantically wondering what happened and how they were exposed. None of them were black wizards and many even held important positions.

Even some Priests, Paladin and Bishops were members of the Dark Church.

All of them were killed mercilessly and their heads were hung for people to set an example.

The members of the Dark Church from other Empires laid low and went underground to hide. All of them believed that there was a traitor in their ranks and it infuriated them to death.

Generally it was them who planted traitors but this time things were opposite making them dumbfounded.

It was later revealed that all this information came from the Saintess so many thought that the traitor was Saintess people.

While members of the Dark Church were hitting their heads looking for the traitor, the actual preparator was enjoying his days leisurely

....

A feeling of nirvana passed through the body. It was such a pleasant feeling that can't be described in a few words.

Lucas's mind jolted awake out of the euphoria and as he squinted his eyes around the place, he saw a subtle glow emitting from his body.

The alarm clock rang, waking up Lucas from his stupor.

He felt rejuvenated as if every cell of his body was brimming with energy.

"Until I use the blessing, it will slowly and steadily nourish my body until the power is emptied."

Sitting up, Lucas placed his hand on his heart while looking at the ring given to him by the Saintess.

It was a gift from Saintess in exchange for information about the secret hideouts of Dark Church which he knew about.

The ring strengthens one mental barrier and negates the mental attack preventing the person from being trapped in an illusion.

However, it had another ability. The greatest one that could change an entire scale of the battle.

Life substitution.

It will substitute your life if you get a dying hit. With this, he can be said to have another life with him.

Holding the ring, a scene from a few days ago played in his mind.

....

"What is this?"

Lucas asked worriedly, as he saw a bright light erupting near his heart. Similar to a blessing, a mass of condensed energy moved towards his heart and melted in his heart.

On glancing around, Lucas was astonished to see none of others were going through this. Out of them, only Lucas was blessed with another orb of energy that was glowing on his chest. If not for the Saintess light encasing everything, everyone could have noticed this oddity.

While everyone left, Lucas asked Saintess about this.

Reverberated, to her old playful self, she gave him a wicked smile and whispered into his ears.

"This is something that will come in handy very soon."

"Very soon, what do you mean? Am I going to be caught in trouble again?"Lucas asked with a gobsmacked face but then realising something he stared at her coldly.

"Saintess, please don't tell me I am going to get in trouble because of your schemes."

"Hey, how can you say such hurtful words? This kind lady just helped you and you are now accusing me. How ungrateful?"Luna pouted and puffed her cheeks like a kid.

Lucas felt annoyed but suppressing his anger, he tried to get some hints however he failed.

Seeing her crooked, Lucas was damn sure that this woman would get him into trouble soon.

...…

RING!RING!RING!

Lucas's mind jolted awake by the ringtone. Looking for his phone, he frowned at seeing the caller.

The moment Lucas picked up the call, a loud voice filled with panic and fear erupted from it.

[Lucas, are you alright? Are you hurt? Did something happen to you? Quickly tell me if there is an emergency.]

Lucas's head throbbed trying to process the words spoken in quick succession.

"Father, I am alright. What can happen to me?"Lucas asked confusedly.

[Didn't you go to the Parish of Damita where Black Wizards attacked to kidnap the Saintess? Son, you must have been caught in this unfortunate event.]

"Wait! How did you know that?" Lucas hearted in horror.

There was no way this news would be made public. It hadn't been a week since the event and since many big fishes are involved here, the news would stain the reputation of the Church as well as Horizon.

[I heard somewhere. Let's talk about that later. Yours...]

"From whom did you hear about this? Tell me."Lucas cut off his speech.

[From one of my friends. Moreover, Dark Church destruction is all over the news which began after you visited that place so it's easy to infer the event behind the scene.]

"I didn't know you had such observational skills."Lucas's eyes flashed with surprise.

[ Stop cutting my speech and listen here. I hadn't told this news to your mother otherwise you know what will happen. That's why I am saying, take a holiday and come here if possible, you can also get yourself expelled if you want.No need to study in that shit place that can't protect their students. Pathetic idiots who can't even protect the life of students.]

Lucas stared at his phone for a moment with an astonished gaze, as his father hurled curses at Horizon.

'Home, I also want to go home but I am not ready.'

Unbeknownst to him, a gentle smile appeared on his face upon hearing his father's worried tone.

'It seems my lifetime of luck was taken away for getting parents like you. Thinking about you all, really makes me feel lucky.'

...

In a wide space.

A man with tired eyes covered by speck walked across the majestic hallway guarded by knights while sighing heavily.

His hair was dishevelled and his clothes were in disarray. He seemed to be dressed poorly and unfit for walking across the place.

But none of the guards guarding the place mocked him as he passed through them rather all of them bowed their heads.

Standing before the magnificent door engraved with gold and embedded with diamonds, he clicked his tongue in displeasure.

'This damned guy didn't even leave the door while stealing things. Just which shithead gave him the crown.'

Looking at shiny armour knights, he spoke coldly"I wanted to request an immediate audience with His Majesty."

"And for your kind information, requesting is just a formality, even if he doesn't want to, he has to grant me an audience otherwise I will leave my job."

"His Majesty is already waiting for you."The Knights spoke in a panicked tone and opened the door.

Entering inside, he stared at the man sitting upright on the majestic Throne.

He was the 106 Emperor of Cyprus, Alexander Von Stan.

Even at the age of 50, his face was devoid of any wrinkles and his snow-white air with silver strands looked as young as a teen.

He is someone who had been created straight from the tales of valour and chivalry. His noble gentle and upright demeanour had won the hearts of many and a single blow of his sword had the power to shift the tide of the battlefield.

The current Emperor gave the impression of a strong and dignified Emperor making others bow their heads with respect and reverence, however...

"Tsk!"

"Every time I see that rotten face here something bad always happens. Tell me Beluga, do you lack money? Do you want me to increase your salary?"

"No!"Beluga refuted coldly.

"If you have money, stop dressing like someone who had suffered heartbreak and had no one to rely on. You look like a beggar."

"Isn't this true? Your laziness is breaking my heart. Where will I get time to maintain myself when my majestic superior is throwing work after work at me?"Beluga grumbled with hateful eyes.

"Ahem...Cough!"

"Stop accusing me? You know I am busy nowadays."

"Busy fooling around, "Beluga corrected.

After hearing about the black wizards' attack and receiving information about the Secret Cults hiding there, they had to discuss things with the Holy State before carrying out the attack.

The discussion should have been carried out by this guy but hell no. Dumping everything on him, this guy went straight to their lairs and started slaughtering even before they could take any action.

Wasn't this overkill for the easy mode boss to be beaten by the Max-levelled hero of nightmare mode?

Anyhow, he knew this was going to happen.

If someone just touches a single hair of Julian, the next day he would be destroyed and news about a bandit raiding the place would spread.

Beluga didn't know from where he got the courage to do this kind of shit.

Can someone believe that a noble house with 300 years of history and thousands of strong-armed forces was destroyed by a bandit?

Thinking about the recent report, he can only pray for the person's well-being.

"Beluga, things are changing so fast. The time is drawing quite near. We need to stay on guard and increase the number of capable individuals. Beluga did you confirm the source of information? Who is the person who gave us the location of this group?"Alexander's expression turned solemn.

His playful smile disappeared and a cold look appeared.

"That's why I came here as quickly as possible in fear of this guy being raided by you."

"Huh!"Alexander frowned a bit.

"After researching around, we found that the source of this information came from the secretary Highness Julian had taken in."

"How did you know?"Alexander asked sternly.

''The Saintess herself confirmed but I had to swear an oath that this matter can only be between me, you and the Empress.''

"Good…Good. Wait, you said Julian's Secretary."

"Oh my god, Julian had finally taken a secretary. Thank god, she finally found someone to share her burden. Maybe Julian and her secretary can become good friends.So, who is she?Which house does she belong to?It doesn't matter if she is a commoner as long as Julian likes her."

"Ahem…Cough.."Beluga coughed violently, cutting Alexander.

"Your Highness, Th…That…Highness Juliam secretary is a boy."

"Oh! A boy, goo…"

"Nani?"

Alexander's eyes glowed and a dense murderous intent erupted from his body dyeing the entire Throne room in red.

'Fuck, I have to stop him before someone does.''Beluga screamed.
