Chapter 200: The Last Ordeal (4)
Inside the conference room of the Great Temple, where the Holy Land’s leading figures were currently at, the sound of tense conversation could be heard.
“...No one expected this situation to happen.”
It was quite the strange sight—people, ranging from middle-aged to elderly, possessing the kind of authority that they could take pride in, were gathered in one place, looking distressed.
But, considering the situation, it wasn’t that strange.
Especially after hearing the words of one of the Archbishop.
“I can’t believe the Holy Sword rejected the candidate with the best scores. What’s the meaning of holding this event then…?”
“Nothing happened even after she grabbed the Holy Sword. Maybe they just need a little more time?”
“No, it can’t be the case. We know that anyone who can’t prove that they’re qualified will die immediately upon contact. The problem here is that there was no ‘bright light’ that always came out when the previous Heroes came into contact with the Holy Sword. This means it didn’t recognize her as its master.”
Exactly. That was the root of all the problems.
