There we are, in the middle of nowhere. The four of us were marching up a long hill. Leading us was the guy named Jordan, he seemed to know where the Vatican branch base is located in this desolate area. Three of us are following behind him, Serafall being the most eager is practically right next to the man.
The one whom we are doing this mission for, Reya Kusaka, is behind me. She seems tired, well, a lot happened in a small amount of time but that isn't the only reason why she's slower than us. Reya Kusaka is walking up this meadow bare feet. Her foot wear wasn't something that was meant for rough ground. Her feet though, isn't meant for the rough ground either.
"Do you want me to carry you?" I asked, turning back to see her struggle.
Reya didn't say anything, she gave me a brief look and shook her head. We carried on climbing the meadow, I didn't bother to ask her again about her welfare.
I focused on getting to the top and see what this hidden church looks like. While I make my determination firm, I chose practice some of my abilities. Stealthily, the Mask of Deception hid my good looks. The abilities 'Camouflage' and 'Concealment' worked it's charm. It revealed me as I was, minus the mask.
BOOST!!!
I felt the power injection surge inside after hearing Second Sesa pronounce the word. His imitation of the Red Dragon Emperor's voice is over flawless, unfortunately, the time duration for the power up got nerfed. I need about another 20 seconds to 'boost' again.
(I still find it unbelievable that this gear of yours was able to copy my power. Ha! Although it is impressive, it is naturally slower than the original. But YOU! Stop sounding like me.) Ddraig said, his Boosted gear core was still floating in the darkness of my Satan Arm's.
S.Sesa retorted, (Don't ha me. We're still growing stronger. If we can't reduce the duration then we'll cover it with something else. Sesa, go back to training. Training is important!)
"Training is indeed important." I say, there isn't much I can practice without alerting our enemies but there's one thing that always require improving.
PENETRATE!!!
I use the power of 'Penetrate' on my eyes to spy on Serafall Leviathan. The more I practice the better I will be at using it. This kind of training is one of those that you'd never get tired of. All of little Levi is revealed to me.
WOAH! She turned around, Serafall turned around. I felt the thumping of my heart go boom just now. This cosplayer faced my direction with a serious look.
She glanced around as if searching for something. Serafall muttered, "Weird!?"
"S-s-s-something happened?" I stammered.
"Nothing," said Satan, "I felt like I got attacked just now. False alarm."
"O-okay."
"What's with you, Ses-chan. Nervous?"
"Haha, nah! Unless you consider being in the association of my girlfriend's family."
Serafall replied, "Point taken."
"We are here." Jordan said, reaching the peak of the meadow.
Serafall turned away from me and went to checkout the scene. I soon followed behind with Reya taking longer to meet us.
"So that's the Vatican," said Serafall. "I wonder if they'll put up a good fight?"
I also saw the building that belongs to the heaven faction. It was a base that was well out of the grasp of society. The building was humongous, enough for a giant to call it home. The base was more like a fortress and although it looked impenetrable, it was still a short distance away from the huge fence that surrounded it.
"How are we going to get all the way there and not be seen? On top of that, how are going to get passed the fence, fly over?"
I said what I had to say, who would've thought such a big obstacle blocked such a small mission. What did this grandma do?
"Ahhh!"
Reya Kusaka exclaimed right beside me. She was clear to understand that the matter she requested help for was far beyond her comprehension. She started shake due to the sudden realisation that she may never see her grandmother again. That was a calculated guess on my part.
"Maybe I should take the whole building down in one shot," said Serafall.
I replied promptly, "What if you kill her grandma?"
"What if she's dead already? It doesn't matter now. Such a big gathering of heavens faithful will cause a disaster for us devils. I have to wreck havoc here at minimum."
It looks like Serafall has gotten serious. The jolly magical girl playgirl was put aside and now the Satan class devil is on duty. But I can't have her destroy the building just yet. I need plan but what?
(I got it Ses-chan.)
(Who you calling Ses-chan, Ddraig! I'm deeply offended. No one wants to hear you give nicknames.) S.Sesa quickly rebutted after the Dragon Emperor of Domination.
(What plan do you have, Ddraig?) I cut in.
Ddraig in a deep voice replied, (Don't you have the ability to hide your presence. Why not infiltrate the church base?)
"That's easier said than done."
"Did you say something, Ses-chan?"
"Nothing, thinking out loud, Serafall!"
"Oh."
(Ddraig, there's no way I can go in incognito. I'm not invisible. Anyone would be suspicious of me if I pop up from nowhere. Plus, I don't know anything about them, to enter under disguise)
(Right, I got it!) Ddraid confirmed, (Why not get this girl to create a ruckus?)
This girl? The Red Dragon Emperor pointed out Serafall Leviathan. It made sense I guess. Since Satan wanted to eliminate this place or at least weaken their forces. It would be appropriate to let her cause a distraction but I still have a problem.
"Where do I find the old witch?" I asked.
"Who are you talking to?" Serafall asked back.
"Huh! Ah, I'm, I was talking to the Welsh Dragon."
Both Satan and Reya stare at me confused. Jordan on the other hand, he had his eyes wide open and brows raised high. The man didn't say anything though, my guess is that he knows exactly who the Welsh Dragon is. I'm sure little Levi also knows but the lightbulb didn't light up yet.
Anyways, I went on to say the infiltration plan.
"So I should draw their attention at the same time I can go around breaking their building too," said Serafall, "That I can do no problem."
"Er, sure." I muttered, I didn't say anything about destroying the building even though that would be inevitable but now I know what Satan has her sights on. As expected of a devil, wanting to destroy a religious monastery.
BOOST!!!
Another power up came my way. I feel that the need for power is going play a big role. There's no way that this place is simple on the inside.
I just remembered, these guys distracted me from my original thought. Turning to Reya I asked, "Reya, since I'm the only one who can enter the place, is there anyway that can help me find your grandmother?"
"There is," she said, "My grandma specializes in communication and spying. We usually use that to keep track of each other."
"I see." It's time for a crash course, I guess.
Thanks for your time.
