Drip, Drip.
Fresh blood dripped on the gray stone floor, it was even more dazzling.
The crowd was stunned by the sudden scene, only then did they wake up from their shock.
"How dare you …"
One of the Wealth Temple priests pointed at Kieran.
However, before he could finish, Kieran interrupted him.
"Why wouldn't I?
"He insulted my Atrina, so he should be prepared to pay the price with his life."
Of course … the same goes for all of you! "
Kieran glanced over the Wealth Temple priest and the people behind him. Everyone who caught Kieran's gaze felt like they were struck by lightning.
[Deadman's Gaze]!
[Fear Illusion]!
The pale golden aura belonging to the Mistress of Riches appeared on the two priests, protecting them from the mental impact.
However, the common deacons weren't as lucky.
Puk, Puk!
Although the faint golden glow of Lady Wealth appeared on them, they still fell to the ground with blood gushing out of their mouths.
Deacons were deacons.
They would never receive the same attention as the priests.
Though, that wasn't what scared them the most.
The real fear was the rapier that came out from the shadows.
The long and tenacious rapier was like the eyes of the Grim Reaper, cold, merciless and overflowing with killer intents.
A breath later.
Three deacons of the Temple of Riches were impaled.
Then there were three more.
When the two Wealth Temple priests regained their senses, the deacons that followed them were all dead.
As for the followers and servants?
His head was blasted apart by [Deadman's Gaze] and [Fear Illusion] long ago.
The deacons, followers, and servants were all dead, it made the two priests furious.
Rage!
Hatred!
Killer intents!
After combining, the two priests knelt on the ground without a second thought and prayed loudly.
"Sinner!
"You have committed a heinous crime!"
Oh glorious Lady Carricanton, please bestow divine punishment upon this sinner and destroy his body and soul! "
Amidst the prayers, a great will started to appear faintly.
A moment ago, the bright sun was shining in the sky but now, it turned gloomy.
Dark clouds covered the sky, but no Thunder flashed.
However, it was as if Mount Tai was pressing down on them, causing them to be unable to breathe.
What was even more terrifying was that the immense willpower brought about a sense of despair that could cause one's spirit to collapse.
Lady Thorn's divine light shrouded the three priests.
But Atrina, who was only a deacon, was on the verge of collapsing.
With a step forward, Kieran's body appeared in front of Atrina who was frightened by the tremendous will.
He raised his hand and [Dandelion's Pierce] flew into his hand.
Kieran looked at the sky.
His expression was fearless.
Moreover, his eyes were cold.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Kieran said.
Atrina, who was still trembling, was stunned.
Although he knew it was all part of the plan, when Kieran really stood in front of him, his heart still trembled a little.
But soon enough, the deacon was shocked by the immense killing intent overflowing from Kieran's body.
What kind of immense killing intent was that?
Even the air around it started to ripple.
It was like the surface of a lake, layer after layer, ripples after ripples, circles after circles.
Those who were caught in the ripples couldn't help but be awed.
Even the three Thorn priests couldn't help but take a few steps back, looking at Kieran's back with an astonished gaze.
Especially the elderly priest, he was showing an inconceivable expression.
"His aura is affecting reality?!"
"H-How is this possible?!"
"How can a mortal do this?!"
The mutterings entered Kieran's ears without missing a single word.
"As expected, only after advancing into the Advanced Ranks can one truly be free from the shackles of mortals!"
Kieran squinted his eyes as he unintentionally acquired an important piece of information.
As his Mental Attribute entered the Strong I Rank, the ethereal aura became real.
When killing intents appeared in his mind, the people around him would feel like they had fallen into an ice cellar.
When he tried his best to exaggerate the killing intents, imagining piles of corpses, the killing intents were as sharp as swords, hurting one's skin.
"This is just Strong I rank, what will happen if I continue to advance?"
Kieran couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
However, he quickly recollected his thoughts.
Kieran wasn't a person who couldn't differentiate the severity of the situation.
Everything before him was progressing smoothly but he was still missing a crucial step.
Kieran waited quietly.
He believed Thorn Temple wouldn't just stand by and watch.
Aside from finding the Holy Thorn Grail, he also discovered that the priests of Wealth Temple were involved in the incident. Wealth Temple itself was enough to make Thorn Temple hostile.
Thorn Temple was originally one of the four major temples under Thunder Temple, but it was replaced by Wealth Temple.
As for what happened, Kieran didn't read about it in "Naveya Temple Development Treatise" but the grudge between the two was certain.
On top of that, Kieran confirmed it with Atrina.
Therefore, he came up with the plan before his eyes: using the grudge between Thorn Temple and Wealth Temple to join Thorn Temple and gain more influence.
Because of that, Kieran showed no mercy to the people of Wealth Temple.
He knew only by doing so could he gain favor from Thorn Temple and it would further prove that he was infatuated with Atrina, thus abandoning the darkness and joining the light.
Of course, getting more spoils of war was also one of the important reasons.
Looking at the five green and one orange glowing spoils of war on the ground, Kieran's killer intents grew denser.
His killer intents as sharp as swords burst up to the sky.
It seemed like he wasn't afraid of Lady Wealth's pressuring presence at all.
The scene made the elderly priest's eyes shine but he didn't say anything.
Instead, he knelt down on the ground and prayed loudly like the other priests of Wealth Temple.
"Wise Lady Vanessa, your believer will face the path of thorns calmly.
Because your wisdom will transform into a sharp sword and slash through the thorns for us! "
Following the prayers, another powerful will appeared in Kieran's senses.
It was different from the previous powerful will.
This powerful will was as gentle as the spring breeze.
It swiftly freed Atrina and the other three priests from the intimidating state.
At the same time, the two powerful wills tangled together.
Kieran's senses felt the sky and earth rumbled fiercely.
However, it was controlled within a certain range and didn't spread further.
"A restrained battle eh?"
Kieran frowned in his heart.
One needed to know it wasn't good news for him.
What he needed wasn't a situation that could be controlled.
Losing control was what he was looking for.
So, Kieran quickly turned around and looked at Atrina with a concerned gaze.
"Atrina, are you okay?
What happened just now? "
Kieran asked softly.
"I-I found Chief Reppu Knight's body!"
Atrina said in a stutter.
The moment the words came out.
