Chapter 652 Thankyou Hades
Chapter 652 Thankyou Hades
The opening ceremony proceeded very well after that incident as Rudra hosted the other two to a banquet on church grounds as he was joined by the other elite elders.
Rudra asked the pope for tips about how to select the Cardinals and how to be a good pope in general and slowly tested Cervantez's tolerance to the growth of this relegion.
Either due to the fear debuff or the fact that Hades spoke out himself , both Cervantez and the pope became very supportive of the cause as they voluntarily suggested ideas to help the church grow.
Cervantez himself did not wish to convert , but he did not mind others doing it as he decided to let every citizen of the empire of Hazelgroove be legally free to join whatever relegion they liked.
The pope became more enthusiastic when he understood Rudra's endgame in creating the church as dethroning Lucifer was a cause that he could get behind wholeheartedly.
The way Rudra talked about Lucifer clearly displayed his naked hatred for the man as Rudra's tongue became laced with venom whenever he talked about him.
Everyone on the banquet table hated Lucifer and had their own issues with him hence the diss talk really helped ease the atmosphere as the three influential leaders agreed on a common topic.
As a casual question , Rudra just asked " By the way have you heard about an artifact called the Demons diary? ".
It was a casual question that he did not think that either emperor Cervantez or the pope would know about , however he was shocked to hear the pope's reply?
" Hmm that thing? It's sealed In the holy city. Many many aeons ago , when Mazikeen fought the first emperor of Hazelgroove , she was in possession of that artifact and it greatly boosted her demonic powers.
When she was sealed , the artifact was taken into custody by the then pope and he tried to use holy water to destroy it.
But the cursed thing was indestructible. The hottest fires , the best spells and even the holy sword Excalibur could not destroy it , it is now sealed safely in the basement of the primal church of life , at the papal headquarters.
I haven't seen that artifact myself in like 2 decades ... Why? ".
Rudra was shocked to hear that the pope did know about the artifact , however when he heard about its wherebouts his soul sunk as if it was sealed in the papal headquarters then it was impossible to obtain.
Using trickeru of words Rudra tried to probe into seeing wether or not the pope would give it up " Hahaha , nothing much i found an interesting book that mentioned something about the demons diary , i was wondering if i could somehow borrow it for research ".
The pope looked sceptically at Rudra as he sliced his bread and took a bite before saying " The objects in the papal church are sealed for a reason , they are never to see the light of day again . Im sorry but this request must be declined ..... If it makes you feel any better there are no pages inside that book , only an empty cover ".
Rudra was dissapointed in this reply but he did not let it show , smiling and saying that sure he understood was the way he handled the matter and carefully diverted the topic , but while externally he did not seem to care , internally his mind was already planning a robbery.
Apparently the stronger Rudra got the holder he became and since he understood just how important and powerful the demons diary really was there was no way he was going to stop in trying to get it now that he knew where it exactly was , but he did not let the ambition show on his face.

( Meanwhile Dronacharya )
Dronacharya reached the necromancers hideout that he was looking for and was able to patiently take down one guard after another as he moved without making a single sound.
Dronacharya was a man of patience and precision when it came to solo gaming , he only became retarded when facing Rudra as things did not work out as he anticipated when he met that man
Otherwise he always had a full proof planning with a plan B,C,D , E always ready for execution should plan A fail.
He managed to make his way sneakily to the man's laboratory as he saw the necromancer perform a gruesome experiment on a goblin.
He was disecting his privates as the goblin struggled against his bounds , however with the bounds being fastened tightly there was not much it could do.
Dronacharya seemed to feel a pain in his balls when he saw the horrifying scene of the naked goblin being tortured at his manhood , but he somehow managed to stop himself from puking as he waited for his opportunity to pounce.
However Suddenly a demon appeared out of nowhere and aimed a sword slash at Dronacharya's neck
SHIINGGG!
Swords collided as the necromancer was alerted , turning quickly he saw the intruder In his room
" WHO THE HELL ARE YOU? " The necromancer asked in anger as he summoned a lot of undead as dronacharya cursed that his plan went sideways.
' crap! ' he thought as he battled against the demon swordsman , but the winged demon was could fly and his moves were unpredictable making dronacharya pressured on the defensive.
The necromancer had also summoned tier 3 undead archers and with bone arrows menacingly being shot at him from a pointblank range , dronacharya knew that plan A was a bust and it was time for him to move to plan B.
Dropping his weapon and falling on his knees instantly he held his arms in the air as he said " I'm the prophet , a servant of Lucifer ... I come in peace ! ".
As 20 arrows were headed his way alongside one longsword aimed for his neck , Dronacharya's fate hanged by a delicate thread at the moment.
