Nicil was looking at Ohara in disbelief.
Maybe because of his personality, Nicil wasn't an elder that people could respect at first sight but anyone who laid eyes on him would know he wasn't an idiot.
In fact, when Nicil noticed Smulder's unusual behavior, he had guessed some things.
When Simon started to cooperate, Nicil already knew what Smulder was planning to do.
After all, as a deacon of the Sanctuary, Nicil knew very well what the Sanctuary was up to.
Though, because of that, Nicil was even more shocked by Ohara's betrayal.
"Why?"
Nicil turned a deaf ear to the battle noises outside the room. He looked at Ohara's beautiful face and asked with a dry voice.
Nicil couldn't figure it out.
Ohara, one of the three Archdeacons of the Sanctuary.
Other than the one and only Holy Knight Smulder, she was one of the most respectable and most powerful people in the Sanctuary.
Glory and power.
Ohara didn't lack any of them.
Yet, she chose to betray the Sanctuary.
Nicil really couldn't think of any reason for her to betray the Sanctuary.
Doing so wouldn't bring her any benefits.
"Why?
Do you know the Sanctuary from 40 years ago? "
Ohara chuckled and replied with a question.
"The Sanctuary from 40 years ago?
"That accident?"
Nicil was stunned for a moment and quickly thought of something.
Then, Nicil showed a bitter smile on his face.
He had somewhat guessed Ohara's goal.
"Believe me, Rei has no ill intentions towards the Sanctuary, it was really just an accident!
Rei is a person who likes to stay in her own turf and do what she likes. You don't have to worry about anything. Look, for the past 40 years, we have been living in peace! There weren't any conflicts between us and we even worked together before … "
"Worked together?
"You call that kind of forced battle cooperation?"
If it wasn't for her, how could Hugh die? "
Nicil's words were interrupted. Ohara shouted loudly and her beautiful face was filled with rage.
"Hugh …"
"No one wanted to see his death, but the situation at that time …"
Nicil muttered the name softly. He wanted to say something, but nothing came out in the end.
"But under the circumstances, someone had to stay behind to bring up the rear, right?"
"But why is it Hugh? And not the others? "
"And don't tell me it was an accident!"
"That was planned by that Nikorei! She planned everything in order to truly establish her reputation as the 'God of Earth'! "
Ohara clenched her fists and roared.
"That's why I'm going to make her lose everything!"
"I want to ruin her reputation!"
The roar was getting louder and louder. Ohara's face was filled with anger and killing intent, making her beautiful face look extremely ferocious and terrifying.
More importantly, there was a sharp aura that was faintly discernible within it.
Nicil had to take a few steps back to avoid the aura.
He knew very well that if he was really swept by such an aura, he would really be done for.
"Calm down, Ohara!"
Nicil shouted loudly but Ohara turned a deaf ear to him.
"Hugh is the real Holy Knight, not some half-baked Smulder!
"The Templar that Hugh controls is the true Templar!"
"Your Templar Church has already become rotten. There's no need for it to exist. I will destroy it with my own hands. Then, I will destroy that woman!"
Ohara muttered to herself, the insanity in her eyes was getting denser.
Then, without a second thought, Ohara struck out at Nicil.
A sharp aura was fired out like an arrow.
Nicil closed his eyes.
It wasn't that Nicil was willing to die but he knew he couldn't dodge Ohara's attack.
As one of the three Archdeacons of the Sanctuary, although Ohara wasn't the strongest one, dealing with a deacon like Nicil would be a piece of cake.
"I hope I can have a whole body!"
Nicil thought as he closed his eyes.
Then, he heard a clear noise in his ears.
Unconsciously, Nicil opened his eyes and saw a familiar figure standing before him.
“2567？！”
Nicil cried out in shock.
Similar to how he didn't believe in Ohara's betrayal, Nicil also didn't believe that Kieran could break free from the cage that Smulder had set up.
From a certain aspect, the latter was even more unbelievable to Nicil than the former.
"Why are you here?
Shouldn't you be … Aaah! You bastard! "
Nicil asked repeatedly.
However, Kieran didn't have the slightest intention to answer. He grabbed Nicil by the collar and threw him out of the room.
Kieran saved Nicil along the way and of course he didn't want to hurt Nicil in the upcoming battle.
More so, even if it was because of the [Special Event] rating, Kieran hoped that Nicil would be alive and kicking.
Nicil's body was flying in mid-air and Ohara was following him like a shadow, she had no intention of letting Nicil go.
However, Kieran cut in between the two of them.
Souuu!
The sharp aura appeared again and was aimed at Kieran's throat.
It even caused an air-breaking sound from a sharp weapon.
It seemed like Ohara was planning to pierce both Kieran and Nicil together.
However, at the next moment …
Wuuuu!
A roaring whistle sounded in the room and the sharp sound of the sharp weapon breaking through the air was drowned out just like that.
Not only that.
When [Arrogant Word] was infused with a tremendous amount of energy, the dark red two-handed greatsword brought along a strong wind that could tear a common man apart. When the greatsword clashed with the sharp aura, the sharp aura was crushed as easily as breaking dry twigs.
[Arrogant Word]'s aura didn't stop there as it slashed down at Ohara.
Facing the greatsword slash, Ohara's frantic face didn't even flinch as she countered with a punch.
It was a normal punch.
There wasn't any strong wind breaking the air.
There wasn't any sharp aura either.
However, such a punch was on par with Kieran's slash!
Chang!
It felt like Kieran's slash landed on the hardest steel.
When [Arrogant Word] slashed Ohara's fist, Kieran instantly felt that way. Kieran's strength was no weaker than his own as it came from Ohara's fist. Dak Dak Dak!
Dak Dak Dak!
Kieran and Ohara separated right after the clash.
Both of them retreated to both sides. The sturdy floor was left with shallow footprints as both of them stepped on it.
“2567！”
The traitorous Archdeacon seemed to have noticed Kieran at that moment. Her eyes were overflowing with hatred that was even more than when she looked at Nicil.
"Very good! Very good!
2567, you have always been one of my targets. It doesn't matter if I kill you earlier or later! "
Ohara was like a beast staring at Kieran, her mouth was muttering softly.
A sense of danger that Kieran was very familiar with started to spread in the room.
"Repent in front of Hugh's soul!"
Wung!
A milky white light shone brightly on Ohara.
It was the Saint Hall Energy!
“2567！”
Nicil who had just climbed up outside the room couldn't hold back his shout when he saw the scene.
However, Nicil's shout came to an abrupt halt.
The deacon widened his eyes, staring blankly at the scene before him. (To be continued)
