(??????)

What is the necessity for the great me to walk through this dirty town? I could be resting in my piles of gold and ******* some hot slaves right now. That damned leader could have at least selected a better place to call me.

And to make it worse I was forced to walk alongside with this degenerate at my side, all the way to this place. If it wasn't because our precarious position, I wouldn't have reached this place in my life.

"Are you sure this is the right location?! This place looks more like a dump!"(?????)

"Don't say another word if you want to live, you insolent idiot! We can't question the choices of our leader."(?????)

"Yeah, yeah, just take me to the leader. I can't endure this place any longer."(????)

The man at my side was a member of the prophets. I could say I was also a member, but I didn't like to be associated with those degenerate bastards. I'm only here for the benefits.

As a noble, I need to educate this beast about my unfair treatment, and after a long walk, we reached the door of an old house. The degenerate opened the door and inside of the house was a man with a black mask that resembled the face of a demon wearing black robes drenched with blood, I don't know whose blood is as the old house was empty.

I didn't dare to investigate him or ask him any questions, the only thing I needed to know was his identity as the leader of the prophets. The leader didn't spare us a glance and was staring at one abandoned room. Without changing his sight, he spoke to me with a bored voice.

"Are the preparations already complete?"(leader)

"They are almost ready lord. We need a little bit of time before the wave is ready, but the preparations inside of the Holy kingdom are ready."(noble)

"I want the wave to be ready as soon as possible, we don't have time to spare. Also, tell the other rats to not make any movement, we can't risk being discovered."(leader)

"As you wish."(noble)

I was so pissed off by this, he only called me to this dirty and putrid place to ask me something so obvious, but again I needed to show my submission to get some benefits.

I was about to retreat when the man at my side was killed without any warning. Terror and anxiety filled my mind, but before I could do anything my mouth was covered while crushing every tooth inside my mouth, I could feel how they were turned into sharp shards piercing every inch of my mouth.

"Don't even dare to scream... I hate the screams of the worthless worms."(leader)

I nodded in fear, I was so scared that I didn't have time to think about the pain in my mouth or warm sensation between my tights. The leader released me while turning around. My mouth was a mess but I didn't dare to make a move in front of him.

The time passed slowly and while looking at his terrific mask I slowly healed myself with my magical device. It wasn't until I was fully healed that the leader spoke once more.

"I have a new mission for you. Find an opportunity to deliver us the princess of the holy kingdom. If you do it right, the rewards will be abundant, but if you fail prepare to face the consequences."(leader)

"But my leader! Even if I do this during the plan the princess is still protected by many elite spiritualists! I will die before the fall of the Holy kingdom!"(noble)

"I don't care. Either you complete your task or you die right here and now."(leader)

Feeling the dread of death in front of me I shut up immediately and without looking back, I fled from the leader while thinking about how I am going to execute his imprudent plan.


(Prophets leader)

I was left alone in this abandoned house, no other shadow could be seen in the proximities. I was tired of the countless rats inside of my organization, the man I killed was one of them. As always, the kingdoms tried to pry for information about our plans without any remorse for the sacrifices.

I glared at the headless corpse when a black fog began to cover the entire area. Inside of the fog, I could see two red eyes glaring at the corpse, only to dissolve it until there wasn't any rest.

"Â̶̠r̵̲͋ė̸̠ ̸̩͊y̶̠̾ỏ̴͇ũ̶͓ ̸̜̈́ṣ̴̉u̵͌ͅr̵͓͠e̶͒͜ ̴͇̑a̸̢͠ḇ̶̈́ö̸̗́u̸̪͛t̶͇͠ ̵̫̓k̸̚ͅe̴͚͝ę̵͐p̴̫̐i̵̲̐n̴͓̔g̴̩̋ ̵̨̓h̷͘͜i̵̩̇m̶̩̚ ̷̼̿a̸̲̐l̸̤̃i̷̙̐v̴̮͝e̷̠̊?̸̛͇ ̸̦͂H̶̛̪ĕ̵̻ ̸̟̅ḏ̸͘o̶̼̽ę̵͝s̷͇̔n̷̜̈'̷͉̈́t̴̘̆ ̵̪͐s̷̻͒ȩ̵͌ẻ̷̥m̸̮̆ ̶̹̔t̷̗̑ö̵͚́ ̴̆͜ḧ̷͓́ă̸̮v̴͍̂ë̵̪ ̵̦̊t̶̝͂h̴̜̐e̴̖͠ ̵̼̚s̵̤͂k̷̰̂ȉ̴̺ĺ̸͖l̴̦̅s̶̲͋ ̸̘̈t̶̢͒ỏ̸̼ ̸̩̆c̴̘̾õ̷̩m̸̱̓ṕ̸͇l̸̮̑ě̷̢t̵̹̓e̷̜̔ ̷̥̓t̷͍̄h̶̫͐e̷͙̍ ̸͉̀m̸̞̽i̵͖͐s̴̰͌s̷̺͠ḭ̴̛ö̴͍́n̵̪̉.̷̧͛" (?̸̪̑͝?̸̩͔͒?̸̟̜͌̈́?̵̻̄͘ͅ?̵̟̋)

"He is still useful for the objective... We only need him for obtaining that princess. After that, you can kill him in any way you wish."(leader)

"T̶͚̍h̴̲̀e̵̪͋n̴͇̕ ̵̱̌I̷̓͜'̸̨̑ļ̶̿l̴̠͝ ̵͖͒w̶̫̓ȧ̷̜ḭ̷̊t̷̖̎ ̴̡̓f̸̺̒o̵̬͗r̷̹̀ ̶͚̀ț̸̈́h̴͖͑à̷͈t̴̰̚ ̷͚͂m̵̆ͅo̵̒ͅḿ̴̲e̶̛͖ń̸̨t̷͍̋.̸̻̚ ̶̡̿H̴͙́i̴̢̔s̵̺͝ ̶̔ͅs̷̟̈́ȏ̶̦ṳ̸́l̸̥͗ ̶̦̏l̶̆ͅo̶̺̽o̴̖͆k̴̙̎ŝ̸͕ ̷̮́s̸̭̒ǫ̷͘ ̵̮̒d̶͔̆e̷̲̐ľ̶̯ḭ̶̌c̴̻͑í̷͎ŏ̸̱ǘ̴͖s̷̢̚." (?̴̟͛?̵̦̍̚?̵̖̍̔?̸͔̃?̸̤̑̃͜)

With everything said the black fog disappeared without leaving any trace. I glared inside of the house once more, wondering about our recent investigation.

"This was the nearest village when the presence of our messiah was felt for the first time. According to the information this place was overridden by a wave of chaos monsters. If we take into consideration the circumstances and the time of the event then the probability of this place being our messiah previous home is high."(leader)

This theory was crazy and absurd. But three years had passed since the first apparition of our messiah and we couldn't find any other clue leading to his location. We needed to find him soon as possible before the three kingdoms get to him.

"This is the only hint I have from him. If I'm wrong then we need to start again from cero."(leader)

I was pissed with the inefficiency of the Prophets investigation team, it's good that our plans inside of every kingdom are going very well. Once we remove that princess our messiah won't have any setbacks with the reborn of this world.

"If I'm right then we will be a step closer to our true goal. I wish we have more competent people at our side..... Number one, get out."(leader)

Hearing my order a silhouette covered with black clothes appeared in front of me.

"Tell to the rats inside of the Cross kingdom to investigate about the villagers of this abandoned village."(leader)

After I finished my words the black silhouette nodded and vanished. I left the village while holding high hopes for the future.
