Chapter 1166: Welcoming The Church
"I suppose he was good. My bad."
There was silence after that. Silence loud enough that it caused everyone’s ears to ring and whistle. Even Louis, who had already had an idea of what Riley was about to do, covered his face in frustration.
Well, at the very least, he reacted. The others were completely frozen in place. Even the lady of the house, who was right beside the emissary of the Church of Fate and was holding his hand, was like a statue.
Her eyes didn’t even blink or move even when some of the emissary’s blood splashed onto her face when Riley caved his chest in. As for the young lady Janine, if it wasn’t for Louis gently turning her face away, she would still be staring at the emissary’s corpse.
As for the healers who were in the midst of healing the emissary, their hands were now just hovering in the air.
This was the first time. This was the first time the person they were healing was killed right in front of them so nonchalantly. It was ridiculous and still hasn’t fully registered in their minds. The scene, however, was slowly registering for one of them.
And it was registering violently.
"Oh... oh, no." Gilbert clasped his hair as he finally realized what had happened, "Heal him! Heal him, quick!"
Gilbert grabbed the healers by their shoulders, shaking and snapping them from their shock as he screamed. The healers instinctively cast their spells at the emissary’s corpse, but realized moments later that what they were doing was useless and stopped.
"He’s... dead, m’lord." The healers slowly backed away, their expressions filled with dread.
