Chapter 194: Infiltrating the church
Matt pulled them to one side of the dark street and quickly hid to avoid being discovered.
'This will be dangerous; if Charlotte were here, it might be simpler, but there's nothing I can do.' He thought.
The first thing he did was freeze the whole body of one of the soldiers; blood and everything were frozen inside. Afterward, he used the ice to freeze these guys' faces, making a layer of ice appear on top of them. Then, he began to pull the ice apart gently. This icy piece came out with a slightly thick layer of skin.
He did the same on various parts of the body and made a strange, mask-like layer of skin with the likeness of one of the knights.
'Hm... It's shoddy, but this is the best I can do.' After putting it on, wearing the gentleman's clothes, and having his ice change the color of his eyes a bit, Matt entered the church through the front door.
A few people greeted him respectfully.
"I'll be right back; I forgot something." Naturally, Matt's voice also changed slightly to sound like the one he had heard in that alley, so no one at the door was suspicious.
So, he entered the church and, after a detour, ran quickly, disappearing at times until he reached the deepest area.
There were numerous rooms in this place, but one at the end was a bit special.
Two people were guarding it, so Matt quickly approached them and killed them in one move.
These were low-level Holy Knights, barely 5,000 power. Although they are not weak, when taken by surprise and by an assassin as experienced as Matt, they are just small fry in the face of Matt's icy power.
Their bodies disappeared without a trace, and Matt was able to infiltrate this room.
It was the main room, currently alone. So Matt infiltrated at the right time of the night.
He immediately began searching the room for anything that might be useful to him.
Numerous scrolls lay around, as well as on the desk and the bookshelves, so Matt had quite a bit of reading to do…
'Shit, we're on the other side of the empire, how did Alice run so far? It would take us a long time to get to the borders with the Dark Kingdom...'
Among the scrolls was a map. It was not very detailed, but it explained a bit of their situation, surprising him.
There was also information about the church. There is not much to say; they are a church of the Divine Knights corps. As such, they can actually be considered Academies and not Churches, but they call themselves 'Servants of the Sacred God', so they named these places churches.
Even so, this church had a lot of status in the empire, and a small one like this could mobilize great powers if they wanted to, which was problematic.
In addition, this City belonged to a set of Three Cities, which functioned similarly and supported each other. One of the three is quite problematic and has powerful people living there.
'It's dangerous to stay here. But we can't go to those other cities, we need to flee far away, but if even this far the news got through, it could mean they know an approximate of our location.'
Though thoughtful, his thoughts were interrupted when he sensed movement outside the room.
"Who's guarding the central hall? Shit, these bastards are being irresponsible again."
A voice came from the other side, causing Matt to become alarmed.
'It's the Divine Knight... Fighting him right now would be problematic, I must find an opportunity...'
Matt hid in the room, behind some writers and shelves with books, as he listened to the voices coming from outside.
"Sir, I can go get them; they sure went to the brothels. Those guys always do."
The Divine Knight shook his head after this, "Those idiots. No matter how much I tell them it's possible that those vampires are around, they tend to lounge around day and night. But forget it; looking around the city, I didn't see anyone that strong, so they were probably not there. Let's see what's here."
Two men entered the partially darkened room that had a few lamps on.
"This is a mess. That Bishop is a bit messy with his rooms." The Divine Knight sat down and began to read the scrolls.
Still, he soon frowned and looked around.
"Sir, what is it?" his subordinate asked.
"Don't you notice something strange in the atmosphere?" He replied and frowned.
"No?"
"You lack experience..." Divine Knight replied and stood up. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"There was someone here a little while ago. Nothing unusual, but the smell tells me it's hotter than usual for this time of night." He replied.
"Haha, sir, I think you're being paranoid again. There's no one here, or maybe those guys came in before they left. You know how they are." His subordinate was relatively calm.
He didn't feel anything strange here, so he continued to read these documents.
His calmness made the Divine Knight think about whether he was right.

"You may be right. Still, this bookshelf is a bit strange; it seems to be pushed forward." Divine Knight said and pulled out a sword.
"If there's someone here and you belong to our side, don't blame me if you die. You're an idiot for trying to scare me." Said the Divine Knight and fiercely swung his sword over there.
*SWOSH*
A powerful attack crossed and split all the shelves that were in that place, slamming hard against the wall at the end.
"Tsk, you were right in the end." Said the Divine Knight as he turned around to look at his subordinate with a smile.
"No, you were right." Matt said suddenly; he appeared in front of the Divine Knight suddenly. He launched four successive attacks towards this guy's neck at an alarming speed.
They were smooth, swift, and precise attacks that hit the neck, rendering him lifeless in a moment. The Divine Knight could not even understand what had happened, as his eyes were filled with infinite darkness.
At the same time, the body of this guy's subordinate fell to the ground, headless as well.
Matt then put both bodies away and ran out of there.
'Well, I think the right decision will be to destroy this place. I'll look for Alice to do it tonight.' Matt thought and soon disappeared into the darkness of the night.
