Realizing that he wasn't even worthy of being killed by her, the Monk Overseer felt an overwhelming sense of terror.
He had only targeted Alan, soone without a significant background, thinking he could easily use him to pressure Annie.
How had things escalated to this point? What kind of terrifying being had he provoked?
The Monk Overseer began to feel a deep regret in his heart, realizing this situation was far beyond his ability to handle.
Annie, watching the black-robed woman's figure, felt a complex mix of awe and reverence.
The Chief Overseer was a tier-platinum mage!
He had even utilized the power of a magic array, yet he couldn't withstand a single move from the black-robed woman.
It was evident how powerful and disdainful she was, showing complete disregard for the church.
If the Chief Overseer had fallen, and if her anger hadn't been quelled, everyone here would be in grave danger. What kind of monster had she indirectly provoked?
At that mont, an elderly man with a gaunt face appeared on the disturbed train.
His hunched back hinted at poor health, yet his aura was unfathomable, surpassing even the Chief Overseer's.
"Head of the Church, Daniel, at your service, King Magus." Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire
King Magus?!
The people around gasped, practically in shock.
A King Magus—a mythical figure with the power to reshape skies and seas with a single thought!
Daniel, a top ten mber in the church hierarchy, had spoken, so there was no doubt.
"If we have offended you in any way, please forgive us.
We will address this matter and provide you with a satisfactory explanation as soon as possible."
Though Daniel was highly ranked, the aura exuding from the black-robed woman terrified him.
Her power was dreadful, like an endless abyss!
Respect was the only way he could respond.
A King Magus could summon phenona with a re wave of their hand.
Even the Church of Steam and Magic's best warriors combined might not match her strength!
Such a powerful magus didn't exist within the Plantagenet Kingdom—how had she suddenly appeared here?
"Finally, soone who's worth a look, though still pathetically weak. Why do you all remain so confident when you're obviously so lacking?"
The black-robed woman's anger didn't subside at Daniel's appearance; instead, she looked at him with even more disdain.
Daniel wanted to argue but swallowed his words. She had the power to speak this way.
Seeing her strong stance, Daniel quickly looked toward Alan. He now understood that this woman was acting entirely on Alan's behalf.
"Mr. Alan, this is truly a misunderstanding. We apologize for any offense caused," he said, attempting to appease the situation.
However, Alan showed little response and simply looked toward the black-robed woman. Though she had acted on his behalf, he knew he shouldn't presu upon her goodwill. Whether they continued to fight or not was entirely up to her.
The black-robed woman, seeing Alan's gaze, didn't accept Daniel's apology. Instead, she coldly responded,
"Where was all your church's arrogance just now? Why not show it again?"
"Or are you just a bunch of cowards who prey on the weak?"
"Since you were in the wrong, take this attack first!"
With a flick of her hand, the black-robed woman unleashed her Light Sword Spell, filling the air with countless points of light that surrounded Daniel.
Daniel's brow furrowed as he responded with a cold voice,
"Are you truly prepared to make the church your enemy?"
For the first ti, Daniel felt the fear of death. He had a strong feeling that even if he went all out, he wouldn't be able to defend against this strike.
Suddenly, his gaze turned cold, and he looked at the Monk Overseer, striking him with a punch that reduced him to a mist of blood.
The Monk Overseer was dead, slain by one of his own.
The black-robed woman nodded in satisfaction,
"Seeing as you showed so sincerity, I'll let it end here."
"If you're still unsatisfied, feel free to seek out."
With that, she vanished like a burst of light.
Only after she left did Daniel and the others finally exhale in relief.
The oppressive aura she left behind had made it feel like even breathing was a mistake.
Once the air returned to normal, the remaining people erupted in whispers.
A King Magus had appeared—a monuntal event!
And she seed to be closely connected to Alan.
Daniel approached Alan after a mont of contemplation and spoke sincerely,
"Alan, we were wrong today. Please give us another chance to make ands."
He handed Alan a diamond card, "This is our church's diamond card, a symbol of status. With it, you'll receive the finest services at any of our church-affiliated shops."
"With this card, you can buy anything from our stores at cost price…" Daniel listed many benefits.
Even if Alan didn't know the details, he understood the diamond card's significance.
The Church of Steam and Magic held significant influence in the Plantagenet Kingdom, with stakes in most high-end businesses.
This card could greatly benefit him as a mage who required abundant resources.
"Thank you," Alan said, accepting the card. Since the church had wronged his sister, he felt it was fair to accept so compensation.
Annie, seeing Alan accept the card, softened her expression and added,
"Alan, Isabella's injuries have been initially treated. If there are any further issues, she can receive free treatnt at any of our church's clinics by ntioning my na."
Knowing Alan's talent, strength, and the terrifying woman's support, Annie regretted her past actions and wanted to make ands.
Alan remained silent, only staring coldly at her.
Daniel intervened, saying seriously,
"Alan, Annie may have made mistakes, but it was the Monk who ordered harm to Isabella. Annie has a connection with ; please give this face."
He took out a vial, "This is Bone Cleansing Potion, incredibly rare and valuable. It should benefit Isabella greatly. Consider it an apology."
Alan was taken aback by Daniel's generosity.
Bone Cleansing Potion was priceless and hard to co by, often reserved for nobles who wanted to improve their children's foundations.
"Brother, I'm almost fine now. Let's just end this matter here," Isabella said, stepping forward, accompanied by the chubby Carter.
Isabella's injuries had been initially healed by Carter's high-quality healing potion, leaving barely a trace.
Alan checked Isabella's condition, feeling reassured. It seed she would make a full recovery soon.
Nodding, he agreed to Daniel's offer.
The Bone Cleansing Potion was precious, and he hoped it might help with Isabella's mysterious illness.
