Chapter 713: Hunters or Preys? (1)
Today, a flying ship in stealth mode entered the vicinity of the Holy Mountain Range of the Cardinal Spirit Church territory.
"Well, this is unexpected. I've heard the outside of the Cardinal Spirit Church of the Conflict Plains is always teeming with people who seek a cure from the Church. But I guess we can't believe in rumors, huh?" Samara, watching the barren territory of the Holy Mountain Range, commented while looking at Sylas.
Sylas was also startled since he knew better than anyone just how influential the church was. There was never a day when there wasn't a crowd of afflicted people gathered outside, waiting for their turns to enter the Holy Mountain Range.
"No, something is wrong with this situation. In fact, her leading us here is proof of it!" Sylas's expression turned grave.
He looked towards a three-meter-tall hominoid locust glaring at the depth of the holy mountain range with absolute hate. He asked, "Locust Queen, how sure are you that the thief you're looking for is really there?"
"My ability had never failed me before! He's hiding in those mountains, and we are getting closer to him! Make sure you won't let him get away!" The locust spoke in a common tongue this time, thanks to Samara's teaching and the Locust Queen's powerful congestive talent.
"Do you think that thief did this to the church? What is his reason behind it?" Necro asked in a peculiar tone. He suppressed his gloating when he thought how those annoying bastards who used the Holy Magic, the bane of his race, suffered such a tragedy.
Nonetheless, this still made him uneasy since this thief was becoming more and more mysterious the more they knew about him.
After giving subtle hints, Diminutive glanced at Sylas and saw his expression change. He knew that the old man got it and became silent again because he knew Sylas would explain from here.
Just as he predicted, Sylas instantly reacted, "He's most likely wounded and wanted to recover his power!"
Samara's eyes also narrowed, "But then how would you explain this condition of the church? I can assure you that I didn't detect life from even behind the mountain gates of your church when I used my eyes just now. Don't tell me he's some vile being who killed everyone here after he used them. Furthermore, he hadn't fully healed, or he wouldn't be staying in the Unique Plains right now."
"There is more than one way to heal your injuries, especially those injuries to your core strength that dropped your rank. These kinds of injuries cannot be healed in a day or two; in fact, the more powerful you are, the more difficult it is to heal this type of injury.
"Although I don't know the extent of this person's injuries, I can guess what type of injuries are required to drop your rank from the Quasi Legend to Unique Rank; one would be on the brink of death if not far from it! So, he might've used some unorthodox technique to recover from those injuries and stabilize his situation, and this desolation state of this place is most likely because of that vile technique!" Sylas's expression grew darker the more he talked.
He was furious because, first, this person chose to use the temple of all places, and on top of that, he even used all those people seeking help from the church. Once this matter is revealed to the public, it will have a huge effect on their reputation. The Temple will suffer massive backlash, and their followers will greatly plummet!
He never thought this chore would become personal just like that. If he was only interested in this person because of his capabilities, now he started to have the same mindset as the Locust Queen. Such a ruthless being shouldn't be left alive!
As they discussed and guessed what had happened in the church, they grew near the thief and stopped taking this for granted. They knew they were about to confront a wounded lion!
At this moment, Diminutive seemed to sense something and suddenly approached the Locust Queen, who was emitting killing intent. She could sense that the thief was very close, and her rage and hatred were slowly blinding her.
Diminutive's meaningfully said in a grave tone, "Your Majesty, please call your army here. Just to be on the safe side!"
