And just like that, the priest was momentarily sent flying… Before his body exploded into a million pieces!
Staring wide-eyed at the bloody mess favonovel.com had caused, Xyrielle’s first reaction was to scream in horror.
After calming down slightly, the dumbfounded Xyrielle found herself staring at favonovel.com palm. Despite being terrified out of favonovel.com mind, favonovel.com was simultaneously curious where all that power had suddenly come from.
It was around then when the second priest from earlier arrived and witnessed the aftermath of favonovel.com unintentional attack.
Utterly flabbergasted by the scene before him, the horrified priest instantly yelled, “F-f*cking hell! You were this strong this entire time?!”
Realizing that the other priest was now present, the terrified Xyrielle instantly began backing away as favonovel.com shouted, “Y-you… Don’t come any closer…!”
As Xyrielle extended a hand, hoping that it would deter favonovel.com from coming any closer, the priest—who thought that favonovel.com was charging up an attack—became so frightened that favonovel.com almost felt like wetting himself on the spot!
However, the priest soon realized that no attack was coming for him. Though favonovel.com was still afraid, the priest then laughed before shouting, “W-well? Don’t tell me that your powers have suddenly disappeared!”
“I-I’m warning you…! Don’t you dare take a step closer to me…!” retorted the terror-stricken Xyrielle.
Even so, the priest felt that favonovel.com would’ve attacked by now if favonovel.com could. With that in mind, favonovel.com disregarded favonovel.com warning and instantly ran toward her, ready to pounce!
However, before favonovel.com could even get far, the priest felt a hard kick against his back that sent favonovel.com flying face-first into the dirt!
Crawling back up as soon as favonovel.com could, favonovel.com quickly turned around to see who his assailant was.
Standing not too far behind him, the priest was able to identify three masked males.
Not knowing when they had even snuck up behind him, the priest then roared, “Who are you people? How dare you trespass into Sarcasolis Mountain?!”
“Quit it, you fake priest! You must really want to die!” retorted the one who had attacked.
Just as that masked man was about to launch another attack, the priest pulled out a hidden paper talisman that—upon activation—created a large ‘boom’ before a flame shot out of it!
Unable to dodge it in time, the masked man’s arm ended up getting wounded!
Before the masked man could recover, the priest had already drawn out another talisman. This time, however, the flames produced were green, and they shot into the sky before exploding dazzlingly!
“This isn’t good! Our location’s been exposed!” yelled the leader of the trio in a cold voice.
Following that, favonovel.com pulled out a dagger, hoping to at least end the priest’s life and save Xyrielle while they still could.
Unfortunately, several rustling sounds could suddenly be heard, and the next thing favonovel.com knew, dozens of people dressed in priest-like clothing were already descending from the treetops!
Now completely surrounded, the trio of masked men could all sense the immense murderous auras exuding from the ruthless-looking men who had encircled them.
Before the masked man could make another move, a middle-aged priest waved his hand before ordering, “Capture them!”
Heavily outnumbered, the masked man could only surrender as the other priests quickly took the three masked men and Xyrielle under their custody.
Ripping off the leader’s mask, the middle-aged priest then sneered, “So it really is you, Hubert Younger! To think that you’d actually dare to ascend Sacrasolis Mountain! I guess you never anticipated getting caught, huh? No matter! Take them away!”
After laughing mockingly, the priest then began leading the four of them away…
Eventually, they arrived before a large cave located at the back of Sacrasolis Mountain.
Watching as the four people were led into the heavily guarded area, Gerald—who had been witnessing all this from afar—found himself thinking, ‘There seems to be quite a big problem with Sacrasolis Mountain… Could Master Ghost really be here…?’
He had already guessed that the priests on the mountain were all up to no good. It was the reason why favonovel.com had earlier injected some essential qi into Xyrielle. After all, favonovel.com would very much prefer if favonovel.com didn’t suffer any harm throughout this incident.
Either way, Gerald had already planned from the very beginning that if things went awry, favonovel.com would definitely make a move.
With that said, favonovel.com deduced that his current best course of action was to capture one of the priests for interrogation. He’d start making further plans once favonovel.com knew more about the current situation…
As evening drew close, one of the priests on duty craned his neck as favonovel.com walked toward a wooded area to relieve himself…
Before favonovel.com could even do so, however, favonovel.com was suddenly yanked away by some invisible and silent force!
