Chapter 925 Brawns Aren’t Always The Option

"Continuing on with the broadcast, the church has some more important news." The white beard man said.
"It is time and again that the church has warned everyone of the devils lurking amongst the common folks. It is this time as well that we're informing you of the same."
"A devil has killed one of the church's members—may her soul be guided by Light and she rests in peace. That devil is currently around the vicinity of Bakers' City Embercrest. Due to our advanced spells, we also have his image, but sharing it would lead to the devil changing his appearance."
"However, with this broadcast, the church is sure that the devil will take an active effort to change himself. So, it matters not if the image is seen or not. Hence, here's the image…"
The scene on the fountain changed and what the people saw was a man with black hair and red eyes, showing a serious face.
Lith's brows knitted as he saw that. 'How did they locate Dennis so soon as well?'
Something wasn't right.
There was no way the church was this advanced here to find Saint Rank beings so easily. Not to mention keeping them chained.
Lith racked his brains as he looked at Dennis's picture and began making connections.
Firstly, Lith was in trouble the moment he landed. How, who, what caused it, he did not know.
Secondly, from the looks of it, Dennis was in trouble, but evaded it by killing the church's member.
Lastly, Ralph was chained and being tortured by these fools.
As much as Lith knew about Ralph, he was no fool to get caught so easily. If it was Dennis in his stead, Lith would've believed it. But with Ralph, it was a big no!
This proved that the church did not lay traps or actively worked to catch Ralph.
This only meant that he was caught the moment he teleported to this world.
Now, him, Dennis, and Ralph… All three faced troubles the moment they landed.
This just meant that there was something within the teleportation circle that caused them to catch the church's attention.
It may not just be the church.
The devils might be at play too.
This was just a hypothesis Lith had and there was barely any evidence to back it. However, it was the best possible explanation he came up with.
Whatever the case be, the church had indirectly solved a major problem of Lith's group.
They had clearly stated the place Dennis was near and this was a really good thing!
If Dennis could be found, they both could work together to find Ralph and then Miwa as well.
Lith turned to look at Jenna beside him and asked in a low tone, "Do you know where Bakers' City is?"
Jenna nodded her head. She was well-versed with all the places in the Human kingdom.
"It's roughly two thousand miles Northeast from here."
Lith clicked his tongue. This was far away!
He held Jenna's hand and said, "Let's hurry."
They had to make haste and with the help of Long Jump, a series of Space spells for teleportation, they should reach that place in half a day.
The only thing Lith hoped for was that Dennis didn't leave that area. If that idiot did, then it would consume more time to find him.
Thankfully, he was told to leave trails, so Lith shouldn't have a hard time finding him.
…..
Bakers' City Embercrest.
On the roof of the city's town hall, Dennis sat and watched the broadcast on the square's fountain.
He yawned and said, "These lil shits…"
Of course there was anger swelled up within him when he saw Ralph being all chained, but there was an even greater problem troubling Dennis.
Thus, he tried his best to put up a front of being unbothered to cope well with the stress he had.
With the broadcast being put out, Dennis was sure that his Prince would come to this place at the earliest.
Leaving this city was a stupid move and although Dennis disliked using his brains, there were times his smart mind would automatically formulate some solutions to keep him out of greater troubles.
And most importantly, to help him not get beaten up.
There were instances in the past where Dennis had done a few stupid things.
He was busy cooking this one fine day and all the oven and fire tools were in use.
There was this flesh-eating fish that had to be turned into sashimi. It was already cut up but needed a light baking and couldn't really be consumed raw without that.
Dennis thought that if it just needed a light baking, he could simply slap the fish like a pizza dough on his hands and provide enough heat to warm it up.
This way, he could save time and move on to do another thing.
Needless to say, Dennis did as he thought and even tasted the fish to see if it tasted okay.
It did.
Finding nothing wrong, Dennis sent it out, but in just a few moments, everybody heard a loud scream from the seating area.
He and his friends were in charge of managing the whole restaurant, meaning they had to act like the waiter and the chef both.
They all rushed at once to the place and saw the head of the flesh-eating fish chomp on a lady's hand.
Apparently, the fish had one last survival ability within it that would be activated the moment it is dipped in any form of liquid.
That ability would cause the meat to turn into sharp spikes and attach itself to whatever living thing it could find near it.
This could be avoided by baking it lightly, and although Dennis had done a good job, he forgot to provide heat to the head of the fish, which was used as a decoration to plate the sashimi.
The lady had accidentally dropped soy sauce on it and the fish bit her.
This mishap had resulted in Lith, Ralph, and Miwa tying Dennis up over a flesh-eating fish infested lake.
He then had his leg bitten off multiple times by these motherfucking fishes.
From that day onwards, Dennis developed a deep hatred for this fish, but also swore to use his brain at least a little bit and not rely on his brawns simply.
And right, there was also a lingering fear Dennis had. It came from his mother.
If Dennis did something stupid, mommy Dracula would not spare any mercy and turn his pale cheeks to a darkish red shade.
And in this context, Dennis was definitely not referring to his facial cheeks!
Dennis's body shivered and he subconsciously clenched his butt cheeks.
"I better not do anything stupid," he said and went to leave some trails to have his Prince have an easier time finding him.
