Chapter 7: The most ancient art
A beautiful woman stood in front of them, dressed in elegant red clothes, wearing a tiara adorned with rubies on her head. Percy’s Mana Sense revealed her core thrumming with an intimidating Blue colour – a grade higher than the two attendants by her side. The High Priestess didn’t seem to mind his previous lack of attentiveness, flashing him a bright smile, before gesturing at another golden door. It was half as tall as the other one.

Percy frowned.
“Alone? Don’t you have to… I don’t know, supervise people?”
Gawain shook his head as the High Priestess tilted hers.
“Why? Are you planning to damage the sacred pool?” she asked.

She chuckled.
