Chapter 20 (1/2)
Three people had appeared next to the carriage Isabelle had been riding One was bishop Rain, and the two others were holy knights of Maal disguised asIsabelle
“Do not be afraid We are by no means the villains”
Isabelle looked at bishop Rain with fearfully
“Those words do not ring very convincingly to me”
Rain sled pieces of hu would change Isabelle’s mind
“I understand completely However, the first to initiate this feud was the church of Flora”
Bishop Rain pointed towards Earl Wellington, as standing silently
“Five years ago, that person’s granddaughter was discovered to have a high affinity for holy power She had been a fervent worshi+pper of Maal ever since she was young and wanted to become a saintess of Maal Unfortunately…”
Bishop Rain coldly stared at the beheaded corpse of archbishop Aznan
“The church of Flora wanted her for their own They ambushed her and her escorts, an operation orchestrated by archbishop Aznan”
He could not fail to convince Isabelle to become a saintess of Maal, so he continued his explanation in an attempt to win over Isabelle
“Archbishop AznanLena, and tried to coerce her into beco a worshi+pper of Flora Lena’s faith in Maal, however, re and she adamantly refused to become a saintess of Flora”
Isabelle seemed to have cal”
“So, what happened to her?”
“That heinous criminal, Aznan, killed her to keep the ambush a secret”
Isabelle’s face paled as bishop Rain crossed his index finger across his neck
“He didn’t seem like someone ould…”
“Even ere surprised by the findings of our report”
Right then, Earl Wellington swung his head in a different direction
“So”
Bishop Rain’s expression changed There could absolutely be no witnesses to the ambush that they had just finished
The church of Flora was extreainst the to understand the bishop’s predicament
“It seems we should silence them?”
“Please, it will have to be you”
“Do not worry”
Earl Wellington burst into a run towards the source of the sound The holy knights of Maal could only watch as the aura master ran off at an incredible pace
“As one …”
“Yeah, you’re right”
It was just as the earl had warned Two horses with a figure upon the behind the track of Isabelle Their faces turned pale when a bloody scene greeted them on top of the hill
“Wh-What the hell?”
A carriage stood at a stop on the road, around which lay butchered corpses of the holy knights Before they could even recover fro the afterure speeded towards them at a rapid pace
“Bla time”
Earl Wellington spat coldly before releasing the fullintent An intense force see them in place as a spider&rsqu

Paaht
It was another skill unique to aura masters called fear, where they used their aura to stianisms carried within them
Hihihing
The horses carrying Luke and Kurotan neighed out at the fear the earl was spraying out and collapsed Luke and Kurotan both rolled to the ground unceremoniously Luke’s face stiffened
“Wh-What’s going on…”
The tendril of fear bound Luke, and he lost the feeling in his legs as his vision darkened The aura ton suddenly appeared in front of Luke, having successfully bound him in place
“Good bye I will send you off without pain”
A cold voice rang out as a cold white blur sped towards Luke’s neck Right then, a roar burst out from next to Luke
“Wuuhk!”
Kurotan roared like an ani his axe He was free from the effects of fear, unlike Luke
Pukaang
Kurotan’s body repulsed away fro towards hie distance from the shock of the impact
“Who is this bastard? Why isn’t he affected by my fear?”
Earl Wellington had no clue The fact was that Kurotan was an orc in the guise of a human… and orcs were a fearless race that did not cower even in the face of a dragon
Kurotan regained his footing and lifted his axe About half of the axe head had been severed in the clash with the earl Had it been a sword, it would have been cut completely in half
“Kewaaak!”
Kurotan ran at the earl oncehis axe A surprised earl nonetheless lifted his sword to parry A disbelieving voice leaked through the earl’s helmet
“I’ve never seen such a brute”
The earl parried Kurotan’s blows a few tiht of his aura blade Once the earl had recovered froes and focused his aura into a blade, he was able to cut through the rest of Kurotan’s thick axe
Kurotan’s hesitation after a part of his weapon to the ground allowed the earl to savagely kick him in the stomach
Kwadang
Kurotan fell on his back to the ground, as a cold voice crawled into his ear
“Your bravery is coainst me Good bye”
Right before the earl’s sword fell onto Kurotan’s neck, Kurotan whispered silently
“Oh great Maal Accept dom”
‘What the hell? This bastard is a follower of Maal?’
