The efforts of the imperial nobility and the church to track down the Moneybags' main base were ongoing, with both organizations deploying their own resources and personnel to gather information and track the movements of the bandits.
To aid in this effort, a secret squad was formed, consisting of highly trained operatives tasked with infiltrating the ranks of the Moneybags and gathering intelligence on their activities. These operatives were highly skilled and capable, and their efforts proved to be highly effective in uncovering key information about the bandits' plans and movements.
At the same time, several spies were also deployed to watch and observe the movements of the Moneybags from a distance. These spies operated covertly and often at great personal risk, but their efforts proved to be highly valuable in providing a more complete picture of the bandi
“Do you have any other information besides that?” Zichmaccen asked in a bit of a hurry.The spy, who had the Shadow Stalker class, was still hiding in the shadows flanked by the wall passage. There was no one else there, but they were still inside the church, which, perhaps, the traitor had put some eyes and ears around them. Therefore, it is very important to maintain secrecy so that the traitor does not find out about his actions.“The Clowns Executive member seems to have a strange power that can move around. The signs are that he will summon a purple-black spiral that can pull or expel something within it. In the same way, he sent hundreds of Moneybags members.”"Hundreds? What the hell?" Zichmaccen's voice rose slightly and echoed down the hall without him realizing it. "Isn't that the s
Hadriel Zichmaccen was one of the very few imperial nobles who truly cared for and genuinely cared for the people of the Litera Empire. He took pride in carrying out his family name and became the church's principal adviser to maintain the empire's peace.His achievements are not small, but most of them will only be known by a few individuals directly involved in his plans. He is indeed a bit eccentric and obsessed with doing things on his own plan. As long as he has set a goal, he will climb the stairs of suffering to make it happen.His attitude, which might seem impolite in the eyes of the other nobles, did often bring complicated political issues into his family, but from the start, it was not politics he was after. He intervened in the disaster that befell Krakal Town because he felt he had to take responsibility for it. Although, in the end, Zachary White
Luca took a deep breath, thinking carefully before answering. "We need to gather all the information we can about The Clowns and their activities. We also need to find out who is behind their recent attacks and abductions. Once we have a clear understanding of their motives and methods, we can plan a strategy to stop them."Zichmaccen nodded, agreeing with Luca's plan. "But how do we gather this information? The Clowns are very secretive, and they have managed to evade capture for a long time."Luca thought for a moment before answering. "We need to infiltrate their organization. We need someone who can gain their trust and work their way up the ranks. Someone who can feed us information from the inside."Zichmaccen nodded thoughtfully. "That won't be easy, but it might be our best chance. Do you have anyone in mind
In another location, Archie and Layla were engaged in tense negotiations with The Clowns’ leader and one of the executive members, The Human Tutankhamun.Layla remained stationary, unwilling to leave Archie's side, while he positioned his body protectively, ready to act if their enemies made any unexpected moves. Layla asked Archie to clarify what she had just heard, "Archie, are you saying that you work with The Clowns?"Archie avoided answering the question immediately as he had other urgent matters to attend to.The Chief of The Clowns eventually intervened, noticing Layla's agitated behavior, and reassured her by saying, "Take it easy, young lady. Your partner is not really one of us. In fact, none of us three have the same objective. Our goals are diverse, but we are temporarily allied. Sooner or later, w
Layla was confused by Archie's previous statement about using her to revive her mother, Elashaa Whitehall, from her coma after her powers were taken from her. "What do you mean that I am the key to my mother's recovery?" she asked Archie, trying to make sense of it all.Archie sighed deeply before replying, "Layla, your mother's coma was not a natural occurrence. It was caused by the same person who took her powers, and that person is none other than Akhem."Layla's eyes widened in shock as she struggled to process what Archie had just told her. "What? But why would he do that?" she asked, her voice shaking with disbelief."Akhem and Harlequin needs the powers of the Whitehall family to fulfill their own ambitions," Archie explained. "And unfortunately, your mother was the only one with the necessary powers. But the
As previously explained, flying magic in this world was extremely rare and only some super rare items which were dungeon drop items could have such an effect. So, seeing someone who can use flight magic can be a benchmark for one's ability to use magic.There are various types of magic, including elemental magic, healing magic, transformation magic, and more.However, flying magic, in particular, is very rare and valuable, as it allows the user to fly without the need for external items like brooms or flying mounts. Those who can use flying magic are often highly skilled and powerful mages, and their abilities are highly sought-after by various organizations and factions.In fact, Archie only knew of one person, Raulles, from the conflict-ridden area of Sirae', who was capable of using flying magic items.
The effect of Caius' [Void Blast] magic was devastating. The treacherous guard was knocked out cold, and the four high-ranking church officials, along with the remaining two guards, were struggling to move their bodies, let alone put up a fight. Their control over magic was severely weakened, and they were left wondering how a priest from the church could use magic that went against Caius' holy element. The confusion and fear in their eyes were palpable as they tried to make sense of the situation.As the group of church officials struggled to move, Fernis watched from a distance, clad in light blue armor with her bow drawn. Suddenly, she released an arrow that flew with incredible speed and accuracy, passing through each of them before shrinking back down and hitting the treacherous guard square in the chest. The arrow was no ordinary arrow, but a skill she had mastered called [Piercing Arrow]. The guard
As the guards continued to overwhelm the attackers, suddenly the ground shook and a rift appeared, unleashing a group of monstrous creatures that charged towards the guards. The creatures were summoned by Akhem's magic and they quickly began to overpower the guards.The creature was unlike anything that the church guards had seen before. It was massive and appeared to be made of pure energy, with an otherworldly aura emanating from it. It was clear that this was not a creature from this world, and the guards struggled to keep up with its movements.One of the creatures was a massive golem made of stone, towering over the guards and crushing them with its massive fists. Another was a group of small, fast-moving creatures with razor-sharp claws and teeth that sliced through the guards like a hot knife through butter.
