Chapter 659 Just A Legend
The next one month was an interesting one for Rudra and the advanced party who had gone to the holy city to steal the book cover of the demon's diary.They were delayed in reaching their destination by over 3 days due to unexpected monster encounters despite being guided by Bo to the best of his abilities.
The party had met over 3 world roaming monsters in their journey that had a 1/100,000 probability of encounter , yet somehow they not only managed to meet one but three of them delaying their progress significantly.
The bigger problem was that they were using hired mounts that were changed at every small town that they crossed as they could not be seen as elites on their grey wolf mounts as that would gather unwanted attention towards their party.
The horse mounts were significantly slower and lousier compared to the Elite wolves and needed to be watered and rested quite often.
Even after the crew reached the holy city things were not as smooth as they should be with them not able to sneak past the outer walls undetected as while Jhonny and SMG were capable enough , Bo , Skyla could not.
The holy city had a tall outer city wall that was hard to scale and guards patrolled the top constantly , one needed incredible amounts of speed and agility to sneak past them undetected , and the tier 2 Bo and low tier 3 Skyla could not.
In the end they needed to take appearance alteration potions and sneak through the gates under flase names and had to give the name of a fake motel for their stay.
Unfortunately , the guards of the town did check if the visitors actually stayed at the motel they registered themselves at hence the group was forced to stay in the same place while they scouted the central church.
The holy city was a beautiful place with paladins as common as fly's roaming the street with / without their armour and colonies and colonies of priests residing together.
The central church was the most prominent place in the city and the magnificent structure stretched for over 5 killometers square in area.
Not only was the holy church quite large with multiple huge prayer halls and multiple holy water fountains , it was quite well defended as well with nearly 26 guard towars lining across the square border of the structure and countless paladins and the highest possible level of church soldiers casually roaming the grounds.
No matter how much the group tried , they couldn't even roam the church freely on the surface much less get a chance to see the famous entrace to the vault of the church .
There were atleast 74 tier 4 paladins who were constantly patrolling the place and a tier 5 pope who would piously worship the goddess day and night which made pulling any stunts such as creating a distraction to make an opening impossible.
The only feeling the group got from studying the place initially was that it was an impenetrable fortress and that pulling off a heist inside there was practically impossible.
Bo even commented that he had seen military bases that were easier to raid than this church as after 3 days of judicious study they could not even map the entire place correctly with there being many unknown sections that were restricted.
A few days back Rudra had called to warn the group that the cover page of the demons diary had a trickster demon trapped inside it that would try to tempt them into falling into depravity hence the package must be handled with care.
However Jhonny English was never worried about this , as he was confident in his skills as a man that no demon or woman could tempt him enough to fall into madness.
At the current day and state , he was the only one that was cheerful about the entire scenario as this was basically just akin to every other mission he had pulled off in his life.
Wether it was Assassination of Presidents of bombing oil plants or anything of such nature , only Jhonny English could perform those missions that others thought to be impossible.
He told Bo to not take too much pressure of the situation and leave everythinf to him.
Although nobody on the team doubted the ability of Jhonny English , but since nobody could even see a remote possibility of pulling this off they were slightly worried that the technique that Jhonny had in mind might be too dangerous.
However Jhonny just laughed when others expressed their concerns over the scenario as he said " Kids ... I laugh at the face of danger ".

( Meanwhile Dronacharya )
Dronacharya also reached the holy city and started his research on how-to steal the book cover from the holy city church , but much like the elites party he was also met with dissapointment in the first few days as no matter how hard he tried he could not see a remote chance of pulling the heist off.
However unlike the elites , he had some reincarnation knowledge to help him as he found a man by the name of ' Dog Trainer ' in the holy city , whose speciality was training sniffer dogs.
Apparently one of the players in parallax's past timeline had used the dog trainers dogs to find a collapsed tunnel that led to the vault of the holy church.
Although the noise he made while opening the vault walls had him caught and imprisoned for 2 years in-game , his tale remained a source of inspiration in Dronacharya's mind.
The flaw in that guys plan was that he made too much noise while opening the vault walls , however dronacharya would not repeat the same mistake , He would be as silent as a jaguar eyeing his prey and break into the vault without anyone noticing.
" I will make you pay shakuni .... Till my last breath , i won't rest until i finish you ".
