[Inside the church in Kiserre]

So, he really is here" [Agnes]

"Yes, and to think that he attacked me when I was watching a group of people from Estel, truly, a cunning man" [Old follower]

"Still, is our man of interest there?" [Agnes]

"That, I am unable to confirm..." [Old follower]

"Such a useless fellow" [Agnes]

"Mrs Agnes!" [Old follower]

With a syringe in her hand, dhe quickly stabs the man carotid artery in mere second

"No, no, please, don't take back the goddess blessings" [Old follower]

"You can't even get a simple job done, you're simply unfit for Goddess Achalasia blessings" [Agnes]

"No please, please I will try my best" [Old follower]

"Too late" [Agnes]

The old follower, sensing that his blessing given to him by Agnes is now taken back by the same person, suddenly felt a strange thing happening to him

"This is..." [Old follower]

"Ohh, and let me tell you something, that wasn't your goddess blessings, instead..." [Agnes]

Upon hearing the truth, the old follower succumb quickly into despair, and the response just make Agnes even more delighted, however

"No, such vile things, inside of me all this time!" [Old follower]

"Vile..." [Agnes]

Angry from the response that she received, Agnes lash out, taking out her rod, she pierce the skull of the old follower, before making it explode by using her explosion magic. The brain matter, the eyes, all of which are quickly eaten up by a hell hound who smells blood

~Sigh~

(That Saint aside, I guess The Behemoth Slayer really is here. And not to mention, The Saga as well. Not to mention those two idiots fallen prince) [Agnes]

She only smirks, and proceed to laugh all by herself with the hell hound wagging it tail by her side

_________________________________________________

In an abandoned building, somewhere far away from the castle at Kiserre, Crow and his bodyguard as well as Lisa are now being guided by Alaric (in his bat form)

Using his echolocation after becoming a bat, Alaric ensures that the group will get here as soon as possible, without being caught by a patrolling guard.

Once they're there

"That was quick" [Ash]

"The patrolling guards, they sure are didn't give a damned about their job" [Alaric]

"Somehow, I get this feeling you're angry as a fellow professional" [Lisa]

"Agree" [Bodyguard A]

With all of them are here, they quickly take their seat. Crow looks around the building, noticing a crippled men being gag with a worn out cloth lying at the corner of the building, and just opposite of him, is two unknown people, an ashen hair man and a lady with a black scarf.

"You are!" [Crow]

Not being told that they're two more persons waiting for them do surprise him, nonetheless, he quickly recognise those two

"Alaric, Ash! What's the meaning of this! Why didn't you tell us Saint Louis and The Saga, Khamishah are here with us!" [Crow]

"Saint Louis and..." [Lisa]

"The Saga, Khamishah..." [Bodyguard B]

Bewildered by the two prominence figures just In front of them, the group can't help but to keep on staring at them, which understandably make those two a little bit uncomfortable, but they're slightly used to it by now

"Well, it isn't fair only my jaw dropped, so that's why I asked Alaric not to tell you guys" [Ash]

"And Alaric, you accepted it!?" [Crow]

"..." [Alaric]

"Sigh... how can I trust you in the future if you hide such an important information..." [Crow]

"Now, now, that's all in the past" [Ash]

"..." [Alaric]

Alaric looks defeated, well, he didn't say no when I ask him to do that, so I thought he was ok with it. Well, never mind that

"Still, it's better for us to introduce ourselves first, don't you agree" [Ash]

"Right, I'm sorry. Where are my manner, I am..." [Crow]

As we introduce ourselves to the two guest, The ashen hair man (Saint Louis) as well as The SS rank adventure, The Saga Khamishah also introduced themselves and we begin to share what all of us have got, starting with Mrs Khamishah

"The Kiserre guild master, was one of my masters that I am close with, and before he suddenly disappeared due to the "illness", he send me a letter through the Mini Garuda, that could transverse the dungeon and from there, I quickly dispatch myself toward Kiserre" [Khamishah]

"What did he writes?" [Lisa]

"Well, Kiserre still doesn't have any slave law enacted, so it isn't uncommon for slaves to be brought here, but, he found it strange that there's high number of slaves being brought here and yet, there's no sign of them being sold or used anywhere" [Khamishah]

"Meaning that the slaves must be kept somewhere for some unknown purpose?" [Ash]

"That's what he concluded as well, sadly, that's all the letter explained, and when I arrived here at Kiserre, he was already replaced" [Khamishah]

"I see, and how about you, Saint Louis?" [Ash]

"As for me, I simply came here after Saintess Rumia received the letter from Mrs Khamishah here. At first, I came here under the pretext of an official visit, but sadly, I didn't uncover anything at all, and thus, I sneaked out from my carriage and quickly come here for covert operations" [Saint Louis]

"I see, and as for us..." [Ash]

I tell them regarding the incidence back then, where I met with Bond and the other three, and telling the two of them how Bond manages to escaped, become a traveler and reside on the 18th floor of open field dungeon, with Mahsuri protecting them

"An ancient tunnel, I did come across some of them during my job, but, I don't think I ever heard or saw one here in Kiserre" [Khamishah]

"I also can't detect any of it during my official visit" [Louis]

"Interesting..." [Lisa]

That sure are interesting, the two of them are strong, and maybe, just maybe they aren't well suited in this kind of job (which honestly speaking, is impossible), thus, they unknowingly missed the ancient tunnel. But,

"You also can't find any of it?" [Lisa]

"Yeah, I can't. I even use earth sonar magic as well as plant root magic to boost it, but nonetheless..." [Ash]

I can't find any underground ancient tunnel. They're surprise by it as well. I did tell them a couple of reasons as to why that could happen, maybe because it's so deep underground that my magic didn't reach it, or maybe there's a special barrier that blocks my magic, or maybe because I'm simply tired from all the traveling that I had accidentally missed it while using my scan magic

As for Alaric, he tried to use his echolocation ability from a far as to get a sense of idea on what is underneath the church, but sadly, he to failed on grasping any information

"Well, that's why we have our three friends here to tell us everything today" [Khamishah]

~Gulp~

Oh the look of terror that the three men are showing. Not gonna lie, I sincerely feel sorry for them, but

"Need any help?" [Louis]

"No need. A saint hand should always be clean" [Khamishah]

Yeah... scary

"I'll join in" [Alaric]

"Well, I'll help as well. By putting silence spell that is" [Ash]

"Much appreciated" [Khamishah]

Just what will she do to them...
