Chapter 254: Angry High Priest (1/2)

Some minutes before.

BZZ! CRK!

A bottle exploded with lightning. One person immediately noticed this, and he gritted his teeth.

BANG!

The throne of pure Energy Stones was destroyed as the person hit the armrest with an angry fist. The Energy Stones flew through the whole hall, hitting the walls and creating a cacophony of loud sounds. Some bricks got dented while the flying Energy Stones were obliterated.

”I told him not to fight Dorian!” the High Priest said with anger and frustration. ”Is every single Heavenborn retarded!? Why can't they follow simple instructions?”

”High Priest-”

BANG!

The person that just barged into the room exploded into a shower of blood. ”You are supposed to knock before you enter,” the High Priest commented to the shower of blood. This had been one of his attendants at the Sapling Stage. Yet, the person didn't even know what happened before he died.

At least that person had served well by being an outlet for the High Priest's rage. After killing the offending servant, the High Priest felt better.

Whoop! Bang!

The destroyed throne vanished as a new one took its place. The High Priest sat down again, less angry than before. He wasn't really angry about the priest's death, but because the priest had ignored his commands. Ignoring the High Priest's commands was an afront to him and Heaven. What was even the sense in keeping all these priests if they couldn't follow simple orders?

”Get here,” The High Priest transmitted with his Spirit.

Three other people entered the hall in a matter of seconds, bowing in reverence as they walked. ”We greet the High Priest!” they shouted in unison as they stopped before the throne in one line.

The High Priest tapped the armrest with a finger continuously. He was clearly annoyed. ”Tell me, why are you not able to follow simple instructions?” he asked them.

”It is our mistake, High Priest! We deserve death!” they shouted in unison. Was that fair? Of course, not! They knew that they were not responsible for the second priest's action, but there was nothing they could do. The High Priest was very unstable and acted out on split-second decisions. After all, he was the most powerful person, and he would receive no consequences. He could do whatever he wanted.

The rhythmical tapping of the High Priest's fingers didn't stop. ”I ordered you not to fight Dorian, yet you guys are not even able to follow this simple direction. How stupid can you all be!? Aren't we the blessed children of Heaven? Are you telling me that the blessed children of Heaven have the comprehension of an actual child? Answer!” the High Priest shouted in frustration.

”We have committed a grave-”

BANG!

One of them exploded into a shower of blood. The others shut up and remained utterly unmoving.

Meanwhile, the High Priest sneered in disdain. ”I felt your Spirit waver in emotion. You disagreed with me. Now, look at what you made me do. Because of your inability to control yourself, our Heaven Sect lost another priest! You all are really useless!”

The remaining two priests remained completely still. What was the most dangerous situation for a priest from the Heaven Sect? One would think that it was the time when someone at the Self Stage requested for tempering, but that was not true. 90% of the priest's survived that. Yet, when anyone in the Heaven Sect made a mistake, at least one priest would be killed by the High Priest. When that happened, their lives could vanish at any moment.

The High Priest always remained on his throne, not doing anything. He only had two jobs. One was to stop ascendents from committing atrocities, while the other was to listen to Heaven's orders. The priests handled everything inside the Heaven Sect, and if something went wrong, it was their fault.

Back when Aion reported Gravis' matter to the High Priest, he was lucky that he survived. If the High Priest hadn't been distracted by the fact that Heaven wasn't willing to talk about Gravis, Aion would have died on that day.

The hall remained silent for some seconds. ”Has Dorian reached a level two Unity Will?” the High Priest asked.
