Ancient God in the Modern World

Chapter 48 - C48 Hide And Seek



The members of the Plague River Church divided themselves into two groups. One group to attack and another one to divert the attention of the other infiltrators as well as to separate them.

Dexter was along with two of his fellow members, one of which specializes in speed while the other was will serve as his backup.

Then, Elioenai was with the remaining members of the church in the attack group.

The strategy that Dexter thought of was hide and seek.

Yes, hide and seek. He will choose a member that will hide and while infiltrators seek. Then, if one of the infiltrators were separated, Elioenai and his team will take advantage of it and eliminate them.

"Kim, the plan is you will serve as a bait," Dexter informed Kim.

Kim looked at him hesitantly. Her ability specializes in stealth. She was able to shrink in the ratio of 1:100 while retaining the original strength of her body.

She was approximately 173cm tall, thus, she could shrink to about 2cm. Aside from that, she also knew martial arts that specialized in speed. Plus, she also has techniques, from Allen, that specialize in speed.

Kim did not want to agree to Dexter, but thinking that it was for the glory of her Lord, she took a deep breath and agreed.

"Yes."

Kim, then,  prepared her hoverboard to be ridden at any moment.

"Take this," Dexter said as he handed an EMP gun to her.

"This is an advanced EMP wave gun. Aim it to the techs of your pursuers," he continued.

The EMP gun could temporarily disrupt the circuitry of most electronic devices. But some electronic devices have \'anti EMP waves\'. Meanwhile, the advanced EMP wave was specially designed to counter the \'anti EMP waves\'.

Advanced EMP guns were not for sale, business firms, factions, and the military created one for themselves.

The advanced EMP gun that he handed to Kim was designed by Dexter himself using his ability.

Kim took the advance EMP gun without hesitation and placed it inside her storage tool.

After a while, she was already out and was heading in the direction of the infiltrators. The first thing that he did was to walk into the hall without hiding his footsteps and, at the same time, acting normal as if he did not know that the church was infiltrated.

*step* *spet* *step* *step*

Step by step, she walked closer while being watched by Dexter and was ready to tell her his visuals.

After walking a few steps, the infiltrators heard her footsteps and prepared to catch her.

The six men sneakily hid in the rooms adjacent to the hall where Kim was.

"Three were inside the room on your right and the other three were on the left door," Dexter warned Kim.

Kim nodded inwardly and got ready to take out the advanced EMP gun and the hoverboard.

*step*

Meanwhile, she continued to move forward.

Then, *click* she heard a clicking sound as the doors of both rooms from her right and left opened.

*zoom*

Kim leaped backward as she took out her hoverboard and she zoomed away in the opposite direction from the six men.

"Shit!"

The infiltrators cursed at her reaction. She was like a vigilant mouse and the plan of catching her did not succeed.

*pht* *pht* *pht* *pht*

"Don\'t let her get away!"

The leader of the six men instructed as he thought that if Kim got a breather, she would, definitely, tell the other members of the church of their existence, which would greatly affect their plan.

Unbeknownst to them, they were already being watched. Moreover, they did not stealthily sneak in as they thought.

Four of them took out their hoverboards to catch up to her while the other two shot her with their guns.  "Shit!"

One of the shooters cursed because, for some reason, they were not able to lock on her and simply wasted their ammo.

While the four closely followed Kim with the leader included, the shooter also took out their hoverboards and intended to follow closely after shooting a few rounds.

"Mortal Haven!"

But all of a sudden, Elioenai\'s voice resounded from behind them. Then, they felt a different level of comfort that made them drowsy.

Their eyes felt heavy, but before they closed completely, one of the shooters managed to peek at their attackers.

He saw the Young Preacher, Elioenai, and a group of men behind him. Strangely enough, they all have the same pose.

*thud*

With a thud, the two shooters fall limply on the floor. But despite that, they were not awakened. They continued to sleep deeply.

"Hide them," Elioenai said. Then, three men took the two bodies of the shooters and headed to one of the rooms close to them, and hid them inside a closet.

The Mortal haven is a set of hand seals that Allen gave. Its main effect was to make their targets very comfortable no matter what their condition is until they sleep. Moreover, they will not be awakened easily.

The user of this hand seal would simply wait for their target to fall asleep and slaughter them.

This was a hand seal on the Life part of Allen\'s authority.

*huu*

Eleoinai released a deep breath as he noticed that the infiltrators seemed to have a strength of colonel while he only had a strength that did not even reach the ranks of a captain.

"Preacher, are you okay?" One of the members of the Church asked Elioenai in concern as they noticed that he seemed to be exhausted with that one attack.

"Yes," Elioenai answered as he forced a smile.

They performed the Mortal Haven in a group to strengthen the attack. They did this to ensure a sure kill or rather, a sure sleep.

The Mortal Haven looked powerful but in truth, it was only because Elioenai and the other members of the Plague River Church caught the two shooters off guard.. If not, the fight could have been prolonged as they could somewhat resist its comfort.
