Chapter 747 Hatred of Dozens

Chapter 747 Hatred of Dozens

With 87 people in front of her, all the remaining members of the Temple of the Awakening of Dresbert, Layla felt a slight discomfort in her heart, but there was nothing she could do to help these people. ",

Vicente had lost all trust in the Congregation of Revelations and had even gained anger and antipathy towards that religion. He had his reasons, so nothing she could say now would help her reverse the thoughts of the man she loved.

Still, she saw him oppress the Congregation of Revelations with difficulty, clenching his fists as he tried to control his breathing more and more.

Vicente said to those 87 people in front of him in an even tone, but with a trace of murderous intent in his voice. "You have a choice to make now. Your religion will not welcome in my domains. This city, Dresbert, became mine minutes ago. So either you become my subordinates, abandoning your organization and faith, or you will be thrown out of Dresbert by the end of this day."

Panic spread among the 87 people dressed according to their positions in the local temple, with some of them turning pale with fear, not believing that a fellow magician would throw them to the monsters.

Throwing them out of Dresbert would be tantamount to a death sentence. With the strongest there being only a Mage and the situation outside the city being dangerous even for Sovereigns, their future, in the event of exile, was only the darkness of death!

However, how could they doubt the words of someone who had such strong, murderous intent? It was also reasonable to consider that this young Paragon had easily taken over the city.

Vicente supplemented his speech as the people there feared for their lives more than they cared about their religion. "Those who agree to follow what I've said, bend your knees."

As soon as he spoke, the first person to do what he wanted quickly bend their knees, prompting several others to do the same.

"Although I disagree with him, I have my doubts myself, Lauren. Maybe I want to believe my religion is innocent and has been corrupted by the corrupt people. But I want answers to my doubts.

If I were him, I would act differently. But it's not as if I ignore all the evidence we have. Besides, I can more easily find out the truth by letting him do what he wants."

After saying this, Layla took one of Lauren's arms and directed her forward, walking behind Vicente after he had finished sealing his agreements with the former members of the local temple. Now, each of these people would have to serve him loyally, or the seals on their heads would destroy their Magic Gems, crippling them at best, killing them at worst.

Lauren remained silent after Layla's answer, before following the gray-haired woman and Vicente into the Awakening Temple.

Inside that place, Layla separated from Vicente and Lauren, leaving the two of them while she went to the administrative area of that place to collect the high-level information available at this post.

Meanwhile, Lauren and Vicente went to the Awakening Platform, where he would quickly start collecting the Magic Gems available in the area.

One might wonder why Vicente was taking the gems from there to take to his order's altars. Wouldn't it be better, instead of using the secret altars of the order-located outside the cities-to use the temples of the Congregation of Revelations, which were in the cities?

However, while he could activate a few altars of the order simultaneously using the Cataclysm Moon Pendant, he could only activate one Awakening Temple at a time. And even then, because of the restrictions imposed by Congregation of Revelations, activating just one of the platforms would be rather difficult.

As he also didn't want to be associated with the organization that betrayed humanity and threw the continent off balance, he preferred to go ahead with his plans for the altar, discarding the temples around the continent.
