The eight mbers of the Dawn Group were intimate partners who lived and died together.
As they watched the decapitated bodies of Rahn and Lolota spurt blood before them, the six including Leonard Churchill glared with fury.
Heavy knight Robert shouted furiously, questioning, "Why did you kill them?"
Even though they were facing the Supre Archbishop of the Holy See, he did not back down.
Leonard Churchill also held back his anger and looked coldly at the five people before him.
The Seven Gods Church Archbishop, "Ghost Crow Wizard" Kole, didn’t even glance at the bodies, saying indifferently, "They touched forbidden black magic and have been contaminated."
This was not an explanation but a declaration of his supre right to punish evil on behalf of justice.
As mbers of the Seven Gods Sect, as the spokesperson of the gods, as maintainers of justice and order, they truly had this qualification.
As he spoke, the Archbishop looked at the furious Leonard Churchill and others, seemingly unfazed by any threat, and commanded, "You all must return to the Holy See with us to be investigated."
Robert, fiery by nature, wanted an explanation, angrily demanding, "For what reason? What makes you think Rahn and the others were contaminated?!"
Whether Rahn and Lolota were contaminated, they knew very well as perfectly synchronized partners.
The mont they interacted, they clearly perceived it was their partners, not so demons possessing them.
Moreover.
Even if they had truly touched sothing forbidden, how could these people kill without asking?
Leonard Churchill at this mont realized what that feeling of being watched had been all along.
It wasn’t the Evil Dragon but these people who had been lurking in the shadows!
In a flash, he deduced the entire process.
The imprints of those docunts were sent to other rcenary guild branches imdiately; surely soone deciphered it was the coded texts of the Black Mage, which led the people of the Holy See here. They arrived late, decided to follow Leonard Churchill’s group, waiting for them to find the relic clues. Then, what happened before transpired.
Besides anger, Leonard Churchill thought of sothing else.
These guys seed like they were silencing witnesses. What exactly were they trying to hide?
Moreover... what was in those relics that instilled such dread?
....
Bishop Kole glanced coldly at the Dawn Group, no longer intending to explain.
He shifted his gaze to Princess Sophia, signaling his side, "Take her too! Kill the resistance!"
A Legend, a Great Mage, and three Grand Knights of the sa tier as Leonard Churchill.
The combat power of these five could anyti kill the remaining six of the Dawn Group.
Upon hearing this, although everyone was seething with anger, they did not say anything further.
Because in their belief, the Holy See represented the great Seven Pillar Gods, an unquestionable supre existence.
Just as the Dawn Group was doubting if their partners really touched the forbidden and got killed, an unexpected event occurred.
The two Grand Knights were ordered and were about to take Princess Sophia when suddenly, an unusual black-gold magical glow burst forth from the delicate, golden-haired girl.
Simultaneously, a Divine Glyph mark of a black sun erged on her forehead.
Witnessing this scene, Leonard Churchill’s pupils contracted sharply.
He had been wondering why if Princess Sophia was brought out of the Dragon Nest by Rahn, why she was left alive if accused of contamination?
Only now did he realize that the people of the Holy See seed to know the great secret linked to the relics on Princess Sophia!
....
"Not good!"
"Ghost Crow Wizard" Kole, seeing the black light erging on Princess Sophia, uttered softly, "Careful!"
But it was already too late.
The mont the two Grand Knights tried to touch Princess Sophia’s arm, the steel armor gloves hadn’t even made contact before turning red-hot due to a terrifying high temperature.
Simultaneously, a blinding flash of black light exploded, the vision in all directions filling with a blinding white light.
Even though Leonard Churchill had prepared by closing his eyes in advance, the burst of light still pierced his eyes with intense pain.
After two to three breaths, his vision slowly returned.
Upon looking again, Princess Sophia was nowhere to be seen.
Bishop Kole’s face was grim, exchanging glances with the "Half Moon Queen" Selena, as if they were communicating silently.
In an instant, Kole’s entire being disintegrated into a flock of black crows, swiftly flying into the forest.
The three Grand Knights by his side also rapidly vanished in the direction the crows flew into the Dense Forest.
Leonard Churchill caught the montary exchange of glances between the two, feeling an ominous sense within.
If Princess Sophia hadn’t escaped, taking everyone back was fine.
But now that she’s escaped, the Dawn Group mbers have beco burdens.
Knowing the secret of the relics, they already had a reason to be silenced.
Just like Rahn and Lolota before.
These people from the Holy See never considered these rcenaries to be of any importance.
Indeed!
Leonard Churchill’s vision hadn’t fully recovered, but he squinted and caught the subtle sinking motion of "Half Moon Queen" Selena’s knee.
This was the posture for an explosive sprint.
A chilling sense of intent to kill instantly struck his heart, leaving no ti for thought. Almost instinctively, he slightly shifted his body.
At the sa ti, a sharp Crescent Sword Air sliced past his chest.
Before the others realized what happened, the large tree standing behind Leonard Churchill split smoothly and fell on the spot.
"Watch out!"
Leonard Churchill imdiately reacted, shouting, "These people intend to silence us!"
