Book 2: Chapter 42: The First Law of the Hunt (5)
Bishop Durst also bowed deeply and shouted.
I greet the legend!
He then added on.
It is the greatest honor of my life to walk down this legendary path by your side!Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
What is up with these people?
Can they please stop doing this?
It makes me want to just go home.
Cale had all sorts of thoughts but could not say any of them out loud.
Instead, he looked at the church members who had filled the secret residence and asked the Pope.
Is it okay to come into the capital like this?
The Pope smiled benignly and answered in a completely unrelated manner.
The entirety of the churchs battle troops is gathered outside the capital.
She then added on.
All of them will enter the capital the moment you wish for them to do so, oh esteemed Purifier.
Red aura was fluctuating around the Pope's body.
She was showing her will to fight as well.
We heard that you were starting a war against the House of Huayans today, oh esteemed Purifier.
According to the message they received from Marquis Helson's side, the Purifier and his people were going to launch the first attack on the House of Huayans while the patriarch was not there.
"That battle The church is ready to join you at any moment.
The Huayans Estate was basically attached to the Imperial Palace.
Going there meant that they would have to face off against the troops of the Imperial Palace, so the Pop wanted to help the Purifier.
No, it would not be helping him.
Marquis Helson's side had sent the clip of the white desert.
They had also sent a clip of the red fire explosion that happened before that.
We are too weak to be helping such a person.
How strong could a church that was labeled as heretics be?
Of course, they were confident that their core battle troops were much stronger than most Empires Knights Brigades.
Plus, the Purifier is not a god.
The Pope clenched her eyes for a moment.
She could see the Purifier, who had not removed the brown magic dye from his hair.
I received a divine revelation last night.
The Fire of Purification had come to the Pope's dream to say the following.
He is someone we cannot allow to get hurt.
If he gets hurt, the Super Rock, ah no, anyway, help him so that he does not push himself too much. You will find many benefits for yourself and for Xiaolen if you follow him on his path.
The Pope did not know what a Super Rock was, but she understood everything else.
No matter the existence, no matter who the bastards might be!
Their god had told her.
I must not allow this esteemed sir to get injured!
That was why she needed to protect him.
The Pope's eyes sparkled.
Cale suddenly felt a mysterious leeriness from the Pope's gaze and got the chills.
He suddenly felt wary about the Pope's existence.
Human, what is it?
Cale heard Raons voice in his mind at that moment and realized that he did not have the time to delay.
He thought highly about the Pop's passion to go fight with him no matter what it took, but that was the reason he answered honestly.
First of all, I am not going to fight right now.
Then?
Mm.
Cale contemplated it for a moment before motioning to the Pope. Once she got closer, Cale whispered in a quiet voice so that only she could hear.
It will be swift and stealthy.
Stealthy?
The Pope paid close attention to the Purifier's words.
The Purifier was speaking more serious than ever before.
We are going to hide our identities, go to the Estate, steal every expensive thing, destroy all important things, send the roof flying and destroy the pillars before we return. We are also going to take down all of the fences around the building as well.
.
So
Cale calmly continued to speak.
It is not a war.
Cale took a step away from the Pope and raised his voice again.
"Anyway, only we, and an extremely few members at that, will go. It will not even take a few hours. Instead, there is something I need you and the church to do, Pope-nim.
.
The Pope blanked out for a bit before snapping out of it after seeing Durst's gaze.
Ah, yes sir. Oh esteemed Purifier, what is it that you need us to do?
Cale pushed a video recording device toward her.
Choi Han looked at him as if to ask if it would be okay, but Cale pretended not to see that pitying gaze.
Cale, will it be okay?
The Super Rock asked but he also pretended not to hear it.
This is the best method right now.
Yes, there was no guarantee that Xiaolen would change because the Empire and the House of Huayans went down.
Most of the influential forces were people who liked this dead mana polluted world.
The Church and the Agents of Destruction.
He would increase the strength of these two groups.
Furthermore, I will make a new major force rise in the center of the Empire.
If that happens, they will be able to fill the void left by the destruction of the House of Huayans and purifying the Xiaolen world would become easier.
Cale did his best not to look at the video recording device in the Pope's hand as he opened his mouth to speak.
Please watch this and spread the news.
Sui Khan stepped forward as soon as Cale said that. On and Hong followed behind him.
"We will guide you through the shortest path.
Meeeeeow!
Meeow!

At that moment, the Huayans patriarch who had arrived at the Lords Castle in Precinct 9 was blankly looking at the paper in his hand as he started to speak.
His Royal Highness the First Imperial Prince, the First Imperial Prince, and my granddaughter
Had they truly
They all died?
[The First Imperial Prince and his helpers all dead]
[The Fourth Imperial Prince and his helpers all dead]
[Second Imperial Princess in critical condition, her helpers dead.]
[Heni Wishrops two helpers, dead.]
[]
And you couldnt even find their bodies?
His gaze headed toward Marquis Helson.
Marquis, is this all true as well?
Marquis Helson opened the curtains.
Chhh.
Beyond the wall He could faintly see the clear sky beyond the black fog covering the polluted land around them.
Helson thought about the white desert that was visible there and opened his mouth to speak.
Duke-nim. You will understand once you go there.
Drip.
A tear dripped down the Marquis face. For the Marquis, who had plotted with the other Margraves and had been trying to stab the Huayans patriarch in the back, tears like these were easy to make when he thought about the process which created the white desert.
The Marquis became overfilled with emotions whenever he thought about that moment.
For the Marquis, who had always been on the front line of the west to protect it no matter what it took, could not help but cry while looking at it.
I am too lacking to even get an idea about what might have happened there.
Marquis Helson was honestly sharing his sentiments right now.
I will escort you there, sir; weve been waiting for you to arrive, Duke-nim. I wanted to quickly go there with you and look at the area.
This was true as well.
He wanted to head to the white desert right away, clench that white sand, and dance around.
I understand.
The Huayans patriarch looked at Marquis Helson, who looked even more sincere now that he was quietly crying, with a suspicious gaze before looking out the window past his shoulder.
Lets go there.
He started to think.
He thought that h might need to stay here longer than he expected in order to find the answer.
A black aura ominously crackled in the Huayans patriarch's eyes.
* * *
While that was going on
Baaaaaaaaaang!
W, what is going on?!
"Did something happen to the barrier?
The people in the Huayans Estate looked up in shock.
They looked at the barrier surrounding the Estate.
Huh?
The sky was blue and the barrier was fine.
What was that noise I just heard?
The moment someone mumbled that
Baaaaaang!
There was a loud explosion and the ground rumbled.
Below!
The beautiful garden in front of the Huayans Estate moved up and down the moment people looked at the ground.
The large elegant fountain at the center of the garden
Baaaaaang!
Was destroyed.
People wearing black masks and black outfits appeared from there.
Then there were some more explosions.
Baaaaang! Baaaaang! Baaaaaang!
The garden was being destroyed.
Human, should I send the roof of the building flying?
Before Cale could even respond to Raons question He could see Choi Han's sword move.
Slice.
Baaaaaaaaaang!
The fence surrounding the Huayans Estate was sliced horizontally.
It was the same for the main door.
Cale looked at Choi Han, who was looking at him as if to ask if he did a good job, before nodding his head.
And the others easily understood that signal.
Raon shouted at that moment.
Time to destroy!
Meeeeeow!
Meeow!
The moment the Huayans patriarch was about to head to the white desert
Cale had arrived at the Huayans Estate from beneath the surface and was destroying it.
