Chapter 16: The Assassin

St. Amanda's School was donated by a Radiant Saint, so this kind of facility is not standard for a church.

The school chapel is located on a lawn a little away from the main body of the school. The overall building is not small. Students usually come here to pray. Sometimes theology teachers will teach theology classes to students here on the spot.

At this moment, this place of prayer has now turned into a battlefield. At the center of the battlefield is Dorothy, who is standing in front of the altar. She is wearing an expensive dress, leaning on a cane, a hat on her head, a gold-wire ball mask on her face, and her long white hair is tied into a ponytail behind her back, making it impossible to judge her hair color from the front. Her eyes are silently looking down at the battlefield in front of her through the mask.

Godfrey, who had just entered the church, controlled the bone blade and kept slashing at Dorothy, but was blocked one by one by Vanya, who was also wearing a mask and guarding Dorothy. At this time, Dorothy also controlled several zombie ambushes hidden around the church to shoot at the attack, and Oswan controlled the bone shield to defend as usual.

There were continuous gunshots in the bright church. Dorothy and Vanya, Godfrey and Oswan, each side was attacking and defending, and gradually a situation of offense and defense was formed. The scene seemed to be in a stalemate again. Such a stalemate made Oswan feel impatient, and he opened his mouth and questioned his companions.

"Hasn't it been resolved yet? You little brat!"

"It's not that easy! That nun's swordplay is ridiculous. It's hard to break in!" Godfrey said. He tried to attack Dorothy from all directions with the bone blade, but was blocked by the sword-wielding nun with a clang. Even if he deliberately went around to the side and behind, the bone blade could not escape Vanya's eyes and was blocked by Vanya.

Holding a sharp sword, Vanya has now become Dorothy's strongest guard. No bone blade can break through her sword siege.

There was still 1 point of the spiritual power of the "cup" obtained from the "Song of the Lamb" left, which was just enough for Vanya to use another life-eating seal to strengthen her physical strength.

While the situation was at a stalemate, Dorothy was observing her surroundings. When she saw that the enemies had already entered the church, she knew that the opportunity had come.

Immediately, Dorothy controlled a corpse hidden by the church door. The corpse stood up and pulled a mechanism next to it. Suddenly, the heavy door of the church slammed shut, locking all the people inside.

"What……"

Hearing the sound of the door slamming shut behind them, Godfrey and Oswant felt something was wrong for a moment. Just then, Dorothy took out a small item from a small bag beside her, an inconspicuous candle.

Dorothy put the candle to her lips, and it automatically lit up with a black flame. She slightly pulled back her mask, and then blew out the flame on the candle.

Soon after, the fire went out, and all the lights in the church went out.

This was an extinguished black candle, which Dorothy had obtained from Luer before. Dorothy injected a bit of "shadow" into it, which extinguished all the lights in the church. Suddenly, the entire church space fell into darkness without a trace of light.

The vast space fell into darkness, without even a ray of moonlight, because Dorothy had sealed all the windows in the church before!

Darkness fell, and Godfrey and Oswan, who had lost their vision, could not see anything for a moment. All attacks stopped in desperation.

"It's a 'shadow' tool. They want to block our sight! This is a trap!"

After seeing this, Godfrey took out something from his purse. It was a talisman, a crumpled talisman. In the center of the talisman, there was a golden coin wrapped. It was a storage item of the "lamp".

"Light me up!"

As he spoke, Godfrey threw the talisman wrapped in the gold coin into the air. The talisman burned in the air and turned into an orange-yellow ball of light, illuminating the surrounding scenery again.

This is the Lamp Sigil, which they prepare for such emergencies.

Dorothy was startled when she saw the rising ball of light. Then she injected a little "shadow" into the candle in her hand again. The flame on the candle was rekindled. After Dorothy blew it out, the suspended ball of light also went out immediately, and the surrounding space returned to darkness again.

Seeing this, Godfrey was stunned for a moment. The entire lamp talisman was for them to use in emergencies. Since spiritual storage items and talismans were not cheap, they did not prepare too much.

In the secret world, accumulating one's own auxiliary spirituality takes a lot of effort, and not many people are willing to spend a lot of energy to store other people's spirituality. The most they can do is to store some driving talismans and props.

"Damn it, that guy used the shadow item twice in one breath... Shouldn't he be a supernatural being? Where did so many shadows come from!" Godfrey thought in confusion and anger, and then he touched his companion by feeling.

"Give me the Sigil of Listening to the Earth!"

Without any hesitation, Oswan handed the Sigil of Hearing to Godfrey. Godfrey activated the Sigil of Hearing again, supported himself on the ground with his hands, and began to use vibration to sense the situation around him. Then he controlled the bone blade and flew to the back to chop the door behind him, hoping to chop it open so that they could leave this dark church.

Godfrey only used half of the bone blade to break down the door, and the other half of the bone blade guarded them and strengthened the defense of the bone shield.

In this dark environment, Godfrey and Oswan both understood that the key was to prevent the enemy from using the darkness to attack! As long as they prevented the sneak attack, they could get out of the trap after they had removed the door.

"Heh, they probably want to use the environment here to block our attack and attack us from the dark, but as long as there is an ear, I will be able to sense anything that approaches."

Godfrey thought so. With the perception of hearing and the defense of bone blades and bone shields, they were confident that nothing could get close in the dark. Once the door was opened, they could return to the safe area under the moonlight.

"Besides, in this pitch black, you can't see anything, and you can't determine your position. If so, I wonder what you can use to launch a sneak attack."

Godfrey and the others continued to think, and then the two of them began to move slightly in the church tacitly to prevent Dorothy from launching an attack based on her memory of the location.

In the darkness, Dorothy still stood in front of the altar, facing the darkness in front of her. She moved her fingers lightly, and then four corpses stood up at the edge of the church space.

Afterwards, under Dorothy's control, one of the puppets took out several things from his body, which were a talisman and two silver coins.

The corpse puppet stacked two silver coins on the talisman, and then slapped it on its forehead. As the silver coins lost their color and the straw paper turned to ash, the effect of the talisman was activated.

The two coins are the spiritual storage objects of two "shadows", and the other talisman is the silencing talisman that Dorothy found on Bill. It can eliminate sounds and vibrations and is regarded by Aldridge as the thief's favorite talisman.

In the darkness, Dorothy waved her hand, and all the puppets she controlled ran towards Godfrey and Oswan. The reason why Dorothy could judge their positions in the darkness was because of the spiritual vision given by the passive ability of the identification spell.

In Dorothy's spiritual vision, the bones possessed by ghosts emitted a faint pale light, and these bones surrounded them in order to protect their loved ones in the darkness.

Therefore, through the position of the skeletons, Dorothy was able to clearly know the enemy's position. The center surrounded by the skeletons was where the enemy was. These skeletons attached to ghosts betrayed Dorothy's position information to them.

Suddenly, all of Dorothy's zombies were chasing Godfrey and Oswanthus. Sensing the vibration, Godfrey immediately manipulated the bone blade and rushed towards the source of the vibration. After a while, three of the four zombies were beheaded and failed to successfully approach the target.

There was only one corpse, and that corpse had used the Silent Sigil to conceal its own vibrations through the power of “shadow” and ran directly to the target, in front of the shield wall formed by the four bone shields.

Then he took out a bundle of sticks tied together with fuse from his clothes.

These are eight eggs, which are explosives. They are the explosives that Harud originally planned to use to steal and blow up the ship!

After pulling the simple delayed detonator, the zombie threw the explosives into the shield wall of the bone shield. At the same time, Dorothy picked up the gas lamp that was ready at her feet and turned it on. She grabbed Vanya's hand in the light and hurriedly pulled her to the back of the altar, where there was a hidden tunnel.

Godfrey had just finished killing the zombie and was about to relax when he suddenly felt something fall next to him and Oswan.

'What is this?'

Just as they were both puzzled, a loud bang shook the sky above St. Amanda's School.

"boom!!!!"
