Atrina looked at the scene before her eyes in disbelief.
Xeriche, who had the title of Dual Swords, shared the same reaction.
However, he was different from the temple deacon.
He knew he was in big trouble.
The pain from his wrist kept stimulating his brain, warning him that if he didn't want to end up like Anderson, he had to run.
Fortunately, only his hands were injured, and his feet were fine.
As for not being able to hold a sword anymore?
Xeriche didn't think that much at the moment.
All he hoped for was to keep his life.
Therefore, Xeriche, the Dual Swords, who was infamous for his daring actions in Naveya, turned around and ran.
However, the moment he turned around, he stopped.
He didn't even take the first step.
This was because a long sword was flying through the air, the tip of the sword pointed straight at his neck.
The sharp edge of the sword instantly pierced through the skin around Xeriche's neck.
"My lord, I don't mean to offend you, it's just that …"
Puk!
Before he could finish, the sword flashed and Xeriche's legs were sliced off.
[Dandelion's Pierce], which had a Strong attack, sliced off Xeriche's legs like tofu.
"Aaaargh!"
Xeriche screamed in agony.
"You know I don't want to hear your nonsense.
And you know what I want to ask you. "
Kieran's voice entered Xeriche's ears along with the night breeze. [Dandelion's Pierce] didn't stop as Kieran spoke.
Following Kieran's order, the sword started to carve out wound after wound on Xeriche's chest.
It wasn't the unruly kind.
It was a square cut.
When the last wound was carved out, [Dandelion's Pierce]'s tip flicked up.
Tssss!
A large piece of human skin was torn off with a sound of adhesion. Fresh blood spurted out from the wound and dyed Xerici a bloody man.
Ugh!
The temple deacon covered his mouth and retched.
Starbeck covered his eyes, not daring to look at the scene.
Kieran, on the other hand, was calm as he continued to control [Dandelion's Pierce].
"I don't know who that person is!
"I'm now a member of Emerald Rock. I'm only following orders!"
Xerici said without hesitation when he saw the blade approaching his abdomen. He didn't want to endure the pain of being skinned anymore and he wasn't a tough man in the temple.
"Emerald?"
Kieran waved his hand thoughtfully.
Xerich's head was cut off.
Kieran picked up the equipment that appeared on the man's body and put the other spoils of war he got from Wild Beast Anderson into his backpack. Kieran raised his hand.
Whoosh!
[Dandelion's Pierce] fell into his hand.
"Although I know the answer now, I think Atrina should go check if the Holy Thorn Grail is still there."
Kieran said.
"Okay, okay."
After witnessing Kieran's ruthlessness, Atrina stuttered a little.
Although she knew Kieran wasn't a kind person from the start, she didn't think Kieran would be this ruthless.
Skinning and interrogating wasn't a common punishment even in Sin Temple. It would only be used against those who had committed the most heinous crimes.
Even though Xerich was such a person, skinning him right away was too cruel.
Such thoughts were rumbling in Atrina's mind endlessly.
Humans would always look at others but not themselves.
At that moment, Atrina didn't even think about whether it was cruel of her to send her servant to his death.
Maybe from her point of view, it wasn't.
A servant's life shouldn't even be considered as a life.
Standing on top of the bridge, Atrina carefully laid down and searched the inside of the pillar under the bridge.
When he pulled out an empty rope, the temple deacon's expression changed.
"That bastard took it!
Don't let me know who that bastard is!
Otherwise, I'll … "
The temple deacon wanted to say one or two threatening words, but she quickly remembered that her every move was under Kieran's surveillance. Her face instantly changed and she kept quiet.
Instead, she looked at Kieran.
No doubt, Atrina was a smart person.
She knew how disadvantageous the situation was for her.
Other than relying on Kieran as an external aid, she had no other choice.
Rather than acting smart, she might as well wait for Kieran's next order.
"Go back to Thorn Temple first.
You are safe under Lady Vanessa's divine light. As for the rest?
I'll deal with them one by one.
But remember, you didn't complete our deal. According to the supplementary terms of the contract, you will have to pay more to compensate for my loss. "
Kieran said straightforwardly when he saw Atrina's reaction.
"Very well, my lord.
Can you send me to the temple district? "
The temple deacon nodded and made a new request.
"Of course!
I don't want you to be ambushed on the way either! "
Kieran said.
He went through the wealthy district, the council district, and when he reached the entrance of the temple district, Kieran stopped and saw Atrina off into the temple district that even the night couldn't cover.
The colorful brilliance, some vast, some obscure, some violent, some calm, all poured down from the sky like a waterfall, washing over the entire district.
Anyone with ill intentions would be exposed the moment they stepped into the district.
Kieran, of course, wouldn't just enter recklessly.
He was standing 10 meters away from the temple district, looking at the brilliance from afar.
His SSS- Intuition allowed Kieran to faintly sense some terrifying existence hidden in the brilliance.
It was like he was standing on the shore and looking at a huge wave.
It was like he was facing a tornado.
Insignificant!
Powerless!
Submit!
Worship!
The feeling started to affect Kieran subtly.
With his sharp senses, Kieran noticed it, grabbing Starbeck and retreating quickly.
The feeling only faded after he retreated for a hundred meters.
"It's just the unintentional aura and it's making me feel like this …"
"So this is a God?"
Kieran recalled the pressure from the terrifying existence before he turned around and left.
He knew his current self wasn't qualified enough to come in contact with such things.
Forcing his way in would be like throwing an egg against a rock.
But that was only his current self!
Given enough time, he would walk in calmly.
Before he left the temple district, Kieran turned around again and saw the colorful brilliance falling from the sky.
His eyes flickered a few times.
His steps hastened as he left.
Meanwhile, Kieran's heart was getting more and more anxious.
However, the anxiety didn't disrupt his steps.
Kieran adjusted his plan step by step.
Emerald.
The organization that was on Kieran's "visit list" was placed at the top of the list.
…
Meanwhile, in a certain corner of Thorn Temple.
A figure unconsciously clenched his fist when he saw Atrina return unscathed.
But soon, the figure returned to his usual self.
The figure walked out with a kind smile.
"Good evening, Chief Knight Reppu."
The temple deacon bowed respectfully and greeted the figure who was ranked top 5 in terms of power and authority in Thorn Temple.
"Greetings, Deacon Atrina."
The figure replied politely.
Then, with a nod, the figure slowly walked away under the temple deacon's gaze.
