Chapter 301: The Holy Sword of the Church (3)
The Evil-Slaying Mage? Who? The young master?
The most infamous necromancer in human history was being called the Evil-Slaying Mage.
The world’s truly gone mad.
Varos, dumbfounded, turned to Desteran. "How do you even know that name, Sir Desteran?"
"He's famous," responded Desteran.
It was all thanks to the spread of the spell Redeemer of Necromancy. Because of how effective it was against necromancy, Karnak’s name had made its way even into the empire. And Desteran, in particular, had heard it more often than most.
"The bastards in the Dark Cult gnash their teeth every time they say it." He sounded almost as if he were proud of the leader of the Twilight Church.
He didn’t seem the least bit concerned that a cult leader like Karnak bore a title like the Evil-Slaying Mage. After all, in his view, the Twilight Church wasn’t evil, though that was only by his standards.
Meanwhile, Beltia had not spoken a word. She simply stared, not at Desteran or Varos, but straight past them, at Diogres standing behind them. She hadn’t even flinched even when Karnak, the cult’s archenemy, revealed himself.
Varos asked flatly, "And how long do you intend to just stand there watching?"
Beltia cast a glance at Desteran and replied, "Until he makes the first move."
What she was wary of wasn’t Desteran’s strength. "Our church has already been deceived by him once. I don’t intend to repeat the same mistake."
