Chapter 150: Holy Power (1)
“It seems everything went smoothly. How was your conversation with Kalosia?” Shadranes asked Ketal.
“It was truly an enjoyable time. I hope I will have another chance someday,” Ketal answered brightly.
“I see...,” Shadranes murmured, sounding a little perplexed. Although she had the god’s approval, she still found it daunting and could barely speak whenever she conversed with Kalosia. Talking to a god placed a massive burden on any mortal, so for Ketal to call it an enjoyable time was difficult for her to comprehend.
“Well, I’m relieved to hear that,” she finally said. Although she could not entirely understand his viewpoint, at least the meeting seemed to have ended without problems. She had worried Ketal might commit some act of irreverence, but apparently, everything turned out okay.
“Ah, there’s something I should tell you,” Ketal added.
“Yes?” Shadranes asked him, tilting her head in confusion.
Ketal began to explain why Kalosia withheld the holy scripture from them. It wasn’t because of their sins and guilt over past misdeeds, but rather because they had abandoned the very values of lies and deception, thereby disappointing Kalosia.
Shadranes’s jaw dropped.
“Is that really true?” she asked, briefly forgetting to maintain her usual composure.
Ketal gave a short nod. “I’m fairly sure I remember what Kalosia said. They made it quite clear.”
“Oh... I...” Her words trailed off, and a dizzy spell nearly overwhelmed her.
“So... the reason we could never gain permission to wield the holy scripture was because of that,” she said with a groan. She suddenly frowned as another thought struck her. “Then why am I the only one able to use it?”
