Vol 2. Chapter 38
* * *
A small temple in the center of the Holy Land, Arhad.
Aietar was fiddling with the Sacred Relic of Power as he looked out the window. He still hadn’t made a final decision.
Divine power, by its nature, was a force of healing—no matter how many times they repeated experiments to transform it into another kind of force, it was difficult to attain true physical strength.
That’s why they had poured so much into Karso for so long...
Just then, a knock sounded, and Payton’s voice followed.
“High Priest.”
Payton had accompanied Aietar all the way to Arhad as his closest aide.
“Zahid Dyfenril has been released.”
“What?”
“His Majesty sent multiple edicts to the Temple in succession, and Lord Yuta had no choice but to release him...”
Aietar’s brow furrowed deeply.
