?The 33rd day.

In his cowboy appearance, Lith stood in mid air and stared at the civilization below.

Shi was in a piggyback position, and holding onto dear life. He couldn't fly like Lith or had any movement technique capable of flight.

Not every world was as advanced as Lith's to possess superior techniques for everybody.

On the ground, most of the humans had now settled into a circular layout, around the major cities of this world.

Holy City Thames was in the middle of this settlement overlooking the protection of everybody.

The church was quick to act and they had deployed their army. They were everywhere.

The once rare holy knights became a common sighting as they roamed the streets, fully covered in metallic armour.

The churches were giving off a powerful Light aura and it was so radiant that a dark creature may get burnt by basking in its luminance.

They were on high alert, all thanks to Lith, and at present, all the devils had retreated from human society.

Devils were selfish beings and did not want to die unnecessarily. They were strong and could rival even an archbishop, but facing many of them, that too in their own territory The devils were not fools and quickly left.

Wherever Lith had been in the past few days, he had ensured to check for Ralph's traces.

There were none and even a single clue about him was unavailable.

This made Lith draw a conclusion that Ralph was in a heavily guarded area, possibly the headquarters of the church in Holy City Thames.

If the war with the church happened now, many mortals would be implicated and die. Such a thing shouldn't happen.

Lith thought of ways to save Ralph and ran simulations in his mind at full throttle.

After a while, he had a few ideas in mind.

Lith took out a talisman and imbued his spiritual power into it.

"Hello? Your Highness?" Dennis's voice rang out from the other side.

"How is it going? Did you find Ralph's whereabouts or at least the mythical ingredients?"

"Couldn't find Ralph, but we are about to enter a place called Enchanted Moon Gardens in the southwestern devil territories. Hyunsuk says he has a feeling we would be able to find what we were looking for." Dennis said cheerfully.

"Okay. Focus on acquiring the mythical ingredients then. I'll be attacking the church and keep them busy for a while." Lith replied.

Dennis didn't comment on it and took his leave.

Lith put the talisman in his space ring and looked back at the settlement.

He patted Shi's hands and said, "Buckle up, we're going down."

"Master, waitNoooooooooo!"

Before Shi could protest, Lith had already made his way down, making him scream.

Thankfully, there was a sound barrier cast around Shi and the voice wasn't heard by the church guys.

As Lith neared the settlement, he used Space spells and teleported to one of its alleyways.

He put the shocked Shi down and said, "Stick to the periphery and don't venture deep into Holy City Thames. I'll find you later on."

Without waiting for his reply, Lith quickly left the area, lest he got caught in Shi's misfortune.

Being away from him, Lith used a disguise and barged into some random person's home.

He stood in front of a body mirror and looked at himself.

Currently he was his original authentic self. A handsome vampire that people would die to be with.

Lith touched his skin and his complexion changed from being pale to a healthy milky color.

He touched his hair and it flowed up like a reverse waterfall, turning into normal-sized.

Lith then smiled and had a look at his sharp fangs. He touched them and changed them to appear normal.

Finally, he used a disguising treasure to mask his scent as a vampire and smell like a human.

With this, he now seemed like a proper human and no one could tell that he was a vampire.

Lith stared at his short-haired look in the mirror for a while and realized that it appeared great. However, it couldn't hold a candle to his long hair look.

Long hair really suited Lith.

Walking out of the house, Lith made his way towards the nearest church.

As he walked, due to his charismatic appearance, he naturally became the center of attention.

The common folks were mesmerized by his appearance and couldn't help but stare at him with wide open eyes.

Some began following him, and looking at Lith, the holy knights roaming around clicked their tongues in annoyance.

Lucky bastard, blessed with good looks!

Even though they might be higher in position than the common folks, looking at Lith made the holy knights realize just how much they lacked in the charisma department.

It was as if while god was making them, he used all the materials to sculpt this dude and used the leftovers to make them. It seemed so unfair

Sighing, the holy knights shook their heads and went about their ways, ignoring this handsome man.

Lith left a deep impression on everyone as he walked and soon reached his destination.

He stood in front of a towering bright church and after a quick look at it, walked in.

Worshippers were seated and the priest was preaching something.

This got over soon and Lith finally made his way towards the confession booth.

As he entered inside, he could feel the aura of someone around Half Saint Rank.

This was quite a high rank as compared to the holy knights outside, so Lith guessed that this person may be in a good position in the church.

Clearing his throat, Lith said, "I have a confession to make."

"Go ahead, child. Speak your heart out. Light is merciful, Light is kind." The priest's voice came in.

"Actually, it would be best if I could look at you face to face and confess." Lith said.

The priest naturally had no problem with it. He opened a small window in the confession booth and saw Lith's face.

The moment he saw Lith's amethyst eyes, he felt his vision go hazy, then the world around him.

Lith's purple eyes had ancient symbols appear on them spun crazily.

The priest's eyes went from having a calm look to a lifeless look in no time. He then had a blank face as if his very soul was sucked out.

Looking at this dazed man, Lith said, "Congratulations, you're the first person I used my 'Psych Puppetry' ability on."

The hearty congratulations were not reciprocated, making Lith click his tongue. "So ungrateful, eh? Anyway, you're going to tell me everything you know about the current situation now."

The priest nodded his head like a robot. "Yes, master."

Then, he began to tell everything he knew and Lith listened intently, collecting information.
