Chapter 227: So You Finally Chose A Side?

Richards furrowed his brow as he thought about it for a moment before he answered truthfully.

"I've never heard of that priest before. I know every priest in the church and there is no one named Dray among them. Are you sure you are in the right place?"

The sword sink deeper into his neck and Richards clicked his tongue, that was really starting to hurt! Quinn was getting angrier the more the man spoke!

"You're lying! He followed me on my quest! He was chosen by the head priest himself! How can you not know him!?"

Followed you on your quest? Richards immediately caught onto what Quinn said and his eyes trailed towards the sword that was pointed at his neck. His eyes immediately widened in shock! Isn't this the holy sword!? This is the sword that the hero used to go and fight the demon lord! That means that this is the hero!

Quinn wasn't very well known in the kingdom because only high-class people and people of importance were allowed to meet her personally, so the members of the church and the other citizens of Uta didn't k wk what she looked like! But everyone knew what the holy sword looked like! How will they not know what the sword looks like when there is a freaking mural of Floid holding that same sword in the royal palace!

"Hero-sama?"

Richards muttered this in shock once he saw the sword that Quinn was holding, but his voice was loud enough for everyone in the church to hear and they all turned towards Quinn in shock! Once they saw the sword, they quickly realized who she was and the people started to murmur amongst themselves!

"It's the hero! Look, she's holding the holy sword!"

"The hero is here with us!?"

"But why isn't she fighting the demons out there? Isn't she meant to protect us?"

"What is the hero doing here?"

Things like these were spreading among the people and they started to get louder and louder as they began to crowd around Quinn. Quinn grit her teeth in annoyance as she looked at all of the people who were calling her. She didn't have time for this! She needed to find Dray as quickly as possible.

"Sir, we found a demon! There was a demon inside the church!"

A voice suddenly shouted from behind Quinn and Quinn turned around to see a priest bringing out a purple-skinned woman from the inner sanctum. The woman had a scowl on her face as she stared at everyone and she hissed as the priest twisted her hand behind her and forced her to her knees.

Quinn became sure that Dray betrayed the church just like he betrayed her. He was probably never a member of the church to begin with, and he only snuck into the church to try and get close to her so he can steal the dragon's mana.

"What a fucking waste of my time."

Squelch!!

Silence filled the entire room as the people watched Quinn sink her sword into Richard's throat without a second thought. The look on Richard's face would have been hilarious if the scene wasn't so serious!

The scene was so shocking to them that they didn't even know what to do. The hero just killed a human with the holy sword? It was an absurd thought to even have!

Quinn dropped Richards to the ground and she turned around and used the moment of surprise to quickly move towards the priest holding Ophis using [Rapid Strike]!

Slash!

She cut the man down with a perfect slash and blood sprayed over the floor of the church as the man's body fell to the ground. the man didn't even have time to form a defensive spell before he died.

There was some light smoke coming from Quinn's palms to show that she was already running out of time with the holy sword. Quinn could only hold the holy sword for a limited amount of time when she is using her [Greater Hardening] skill and Quinn could tell that the sword would soon burn through the skill. Quinn spoke to Ophis while looking around.

"Stand up and get behind me quickly. I'll try to cut a path for us to escape,"

Ophis nodded her head in thanks and moved to stand behind Quinn. Quinn looked from left to right and she took in the shocked faces of everyone around. She knew exactly why they were shocked. None of them expected her to turn on the humans and suddenly fight alongside a demon.

But even though Quinn didn't like what the demons were doing here, there was one thing that she would never compromise on. Quinn would never betray her brother. Floid was the first person that reached his hand out to Quinn and Quinn cherished her relationship with Floid more than she cherished the lives of these humans.

Sure, Floid might be a little weird, and it is possible that Floid was more interested in having a sexual relationship with her than a regular sibling relationship, but she didn't care about those things for now! She would worry about them later!

Quinn shook her head to get rid of a slight blush and tightened her hold on her sword again. Right now, she was only going to make sure that Floid's plans worked out perfectly. Even if she wasn't a hundred percent okay with the plan, she would still help her little brother.
