Chapter 147 - 31: Evolution (Second Update)
In just over a month. A little over a month ago, news of the Church’s civil war and the four Holy Knights’ siege of Gray spread across the continent. Finally, a church that had been on a downward spiral seemed to have regained some semblance of respect. Before they could recover, Holy Knight Gray returned with a vengeance, defeating and capturing the four Holy Knights of the Church.
It wasn’t just about respect. Holy Knights were the core battle power of the Church, their ultimate deterrence against nations...
If Gray’s previous actions had already inflicted severe damage on the Church, then this time, it was undoubtedly a fatal blow.
"What does he want to do? He imprisoned the four Holy Knights. Does he want a trial? He’s just a Holy Knight himself. What qualifies him to judge the other four Holy Knights?"
"According to the rules, he can’t, but... I don’t think he’s planning to follow the rules anymore."
"We were the first to break the rules."
"What are you talking about? Are you defending him?"
"No, we’re just stating the facts. None of us wanted this situation, but it is what it is. We must acknowledge it."
"Maybe we should request a divine arbitration."
"There will be no arbitration. The Angels have already replied that they won’t support either side in our conflict with Holy Knight Gray. When we attacked him, the Angels didn’t intervene. They certainly won’t intervene now."
"So what should we do? My God, we should never have made an enemy of him to begin with. Where does his power come from? Why can he still defeat the other four Holy Knights even with his Guardian Angel captured?"
