Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy-Chapter 110 :The Real Preparator[5]

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Anonymous figures rushed ahead kicking the ground. Up ahead, shadows glinted making a rustling sound as they passed through the bushes stepping over the broken dried twigs.

In the darkness of night, sparks emitted due to the clanging sound, as the dagger clashing against one another darted across the air.

"Khykkkk!"

"Kheummm!" 𝚋𝚎ｄｎｏ𝚟𝚎ｌ.ｎ𝚎𝚝

Two loud shrieks erupted and a heavy thud resounded.

The monster panicked seeing his partner falling. Without looking back, he kept on running.

At that time, a bolt of lightning flickered. Tearing off the air, something passed through his head bursting it into pieces and splattering blood in the air.

The headless corpses that kept on running for a few metres finally came to a halt after thrashing against a tree trunk.

THUD!THUD!

Two figures landed on the ground and squinting over the monsters, scanned the area.

"It seems, they are the final ones," Frederick muttered.

"Oh, God!Finally...Finally...I can return to the horizon and sleep in a comfy bed and eat good food."Parth almost cried thinking about his days of suffering.

Frederick also wanted to speak something but gave up. He was sure Parth would start exaggerating things as if he had participated in the war.

So simply shrugging his shoulders, he walked away leaving Parth who kept on speaking.

"Hmmm!"

"Oh, my God!"

"Frederick, where are you?"

......

Cut grass, stones newly contorted and engraved, fresh flowers on grave mingling on the air with mourners

Filled with a sombre atmosphere, everyone walked forward and placed flowers on the dead. The sound of cries resonated in the place.

People sobbed mixed with whispers of prayers from the people.

Crisp cold air blew making the scene more dreary and bleak.

Standing back, Lucas stared coldly at the graves. In it lay Mr Heilford and his wife, accompanied by several others.

"This guy doesn't deserve a grave."Lucas clicked his tongue to shake away the complicated feeling.

After Killing Helford, they decided to burn the old church along with all the corpses in there. The forces behind him were quite sinister so to avoid as much trouble as possible, they twisted the story.

When he was in that secret room, with a bit of sanity that remained within them, they pointed Lucas to a crystal that was embedded in the wall as decoration.

On pouring mana into it, a hidden passage was unlocked which led to the place where in a sealed liquid, a corpse of a woman was preserved. The facial features of the woman were similar to the late wife of Helford.

Searching around for a while, Lucas finally found the group involved in it.

Forces of Dark Church.

Heretics who worship the evil God Mephistos.

They would be in deep shit if Forces of Dark Church knew about this. Even if you are the son of a Duke, nothing would stop those heretics from attacking you.

He needs to come up with a countermeasure to delay them from concluding the people behind this or they need to do something to divert the attention.

If only he knew the situation was going to be this messed up, he wouldn't come here.

Lucas sighed deeply seeing people crying for Heilford who was painted as a hero. Most of the adults here were the ones who spent their life in the orphanage without knowing the truth and moved away after reaching adulthood.

To get rid of the headache coming after, they decided to fabricate the things.

The orphanage was attacked by a group of monsters. The children were evacuated before but Heilford stayed back and fought with them.

His old battered body, unable to hold any more, finally collapsed due to exhaustion after a fierce battle.

As per things that happened in Church, they don't know anything about it. If Dark Church investigates, they would think that the death of Heilford made the monsters go rampage whose tracks had been laid by Frederick.

It wouldn't prevent them from coming after them as there are countless witnesses but it can divert their attention for a short time while Lucas planned to pass some crucial information to Church through Julian.

The Church wouldn't miss the opportunity to hit them.

Looking aside, Lucas saw Jay squatting near him.

"Have you decided?"Lucas asked.

His heart was a bit tense recently.

Yesterday, he asked Jay if he would come with him. Lucas promised to take care of him until he grew up and after he became awakened, he could work for him.

Jay snapping out of his thoughts gazed at Lucas with an inexplicable expression. Then, turning around towards the grave his expression darkened.

"Can I become as awesome as you Big Brother?"

Lucas raised his brows for a moment.

"You will be more awesome than me. You may not know but you are quite talented."

Jay's expression brightened up and he asked naively"Really!"

"Yes! So, Jay, follow me. I will not make the vain promise of leading you into a wonderful life."

"If you tread on our journey, you may find yourself in a desperate situation filled with life-threatening dangers and trouble. You may regret it later for choosing such an arduous path filled with thorns, however, at least you will never feel weak or helpless like this before."

Jay closed his eyes, falling into deep thought. His consciousness sank into the deep abyss of his memories.

The beginning years of his life were filled with the warmth of family who loved him dearly taking care of him but they died due to an unfortunate incident.

His parents left behind a sum for him that was enough to lead a life of prosperity until he grew up to make a living on his own but all this money was taken by those greedy relatives.

At first, they treated him nicely but once they became his guardian they started to abuse him brutally. Every day he was beaten and abused verbally and one day, he found that all the rights to the property of money were taken upon them.

The property rights would be passed to him once he turn 18 so to keep up the rights, they wanted to kill him slowly by resorting to torture or use poison if he don't die by abuse.

Hearing this, he ran away in fear trying to escape from his cruel fate. But little did he know that after surviving a few years on the street, he was taken away by a group of people.

His life is worse. He starved often and had to put up with cold winds and drenched rain, still, it was better. Thousand times, better than being tortured mentally and physically after being kidnapped.

The only thing he can remember about the past few months was shrieks of agony and darkness surrounding him.

Whether it was day or night, everything around them had always been dark until he found that ray of hope again.

His body shuddered remembering the abuse he had gone through. Clenching his fist, he promised himself to get stronger. Strong enough to avert the people who eye him with evil intent.

Lucas smiled seeing the bright glowing eye in Jay's vision.

'It seems the kid had found the light.'

"I will go with you. I can even work somewhere to pay expenses."

"I will get you a job."Lucas grinned.

'Slave number one will be happy after knowing about the assistance I got from him.'

Jay stood up and left to prepare for the journey.

Lucas who stood there was startled to see Shawn walking towards him.

"It seems, everything is finished here."

"Almost!"Lucas replied.

A silence lingered for a moment.

"So, how long are you gonna hide here Uncle Shawn?"

"Since when did you know about me?"

"From the very first moment, I saw you."

"Hahahahaha!"

Shawn burst into laughter.

"Can't believe, a small kid able to find out about me. It seems I am getting old. I can't even dust a kid's eyes nowadays."

"Tsk."Lucas clicked his tongue and refuted"It's not that. Uncle is just unlucky to find me involved here."

"Stills, I need to thank you for finishing things here. Originally, it should be our job but people nowadays are losing their way quite easily. They are selling their self-respect and ego just for a few measly benefits."Shawn muttered with a profound look.

"There is no need to thank me. After all, we can be said to be partners working for the same boss."

"Partners?" Shawn exclaimed in shock.

He glanced at Lucas's smiling face, unable to infer the hidden meaning behind his words.

"Hail The Order of Scarlet Snow."

"Ohhhh!I see."Shawn nodded his head with a sudden realisation.

"It seems Her Highness has accepted a new member. Did you come to know about me from there?"Shawn asked.

"You can say so. But please keep it a secret for now."Lucas answered slightly.

"Okay, take this."

Lucas caught a small emblem and asked, "What's this?"

"A parting gift."Shawn waved his hand left in bewilderment.

Lucas's eyes flashed in disbelief seeing the emblem. He rubbed his eyes wondering whether this was a dream or not.

Seeing the symbol of the cap with twin dragons intertwined on it, he was sure that this was a token that would grant access to the secret information network that works with PSB intelligence officers to get information. Moreover, this also grants him a VIP pass.

From the novel, Lucas knew that Shawn held a high authority in the Twin Dragon Society and was part of Princess's secret force.

He did not know about his true identity but this token in itself had made this trip worthwhile.

"Did you post this mission?"

"Yes, I wanted someone out of our norm to solve this. However, I didn't think that things would become so complicated here."

"Hmm! In that case, you owe me favour."

Shawn stared at Lucas's devilish grin and for some reason, he felt a chill down his spine.
