Sylvester didn't let Felix stay back, knowing the man was wild and would break the chair. So they made their way down towards the basement as fast as they could. By then, the entire castle was crawling with soldiers. However, he found one old face when he was crossing by the entrance. "Bishop Lazark? When did you arrive?" Sylvester found the black hooded necromancer looking all confused at the scenes. "Only now, Archpriest. What happened here? I thought you had come to solve a murder and stop two…-

Sylvester noticed that even when the drums were being blasted, many of the remaining men on the battlefield were not retreating. Instead, they were so blind in rage and thirst to survive that all they saw were the enemies around them. "It will soon be night. We need to end this fast." Sylvester muttered and put his palm over his chest, facing the sky over the battlefield. Then he started to chant a holy hymn and made the palm shine bright. Boom! When the halo appeared behind his head, a light beam…

"Archbishop, you used to tell me that you hated Count Jartel's Prima! That the man was too nosey regarding the Church's finances." "He was, Lord Bard," Archbishop replied, not liking all eyes on himself. Sylvester rubbed his chin and closed his eyes, trying to remember all the times he had seen the man. The man was overly worshipping and never lied to him about anything in the interrogations. "Did he ever take the money from the church?" He questioned. "Of course." Archbishop blurted. "He knew he could…

Boom! A moment after Lady Aurora disappeared from her place, a loud explosion resounded. It happened in the air, as the battlefield still remained untouched. Sylvester kept looking at the far west side to see what Lady Aurora would do. The Duke's camp was situated there, and he could already see a few dots of men standing in a cluster and panicking. "She's very strong, Lord Bard. Don't worry about her." Duke Zephyr said. 'This fucker!' Sylvester cursed under his breath. He could feel the scent of lust…

Once again, a scheming grin appeared on Sylvester's face, sending shivers down the Arch Wizard's spine. It was a fact now that if Sylvester dies, the Viscount's name would appear somewhere. Therefore, it was beneficial to this noble that Sylvester lived. Sylvester put his hands on the man's shoulder and made him stand up. "Viscount Willington... by the holy powers bestowed upon me by the lord. I command you to aide me. Your liege, the Duke, has been compromised as a part of a greater conspiracy. If we…

Sylvester looked around and saw the soldiers slowly looking at him and others behind him. Mainly it was the retainers of the Jartel and Raftel families. They appeared confused because the Counts were alive. So why was that shout made? The news was still spreading like wildfire around the battlefield. It made the soldiers go crazy and fight mindlessly, aiming to enact revenge for killing their lords. "They want to kill the Counts!" The soldiers of Duke Grimton screamed, seeing Sylvester dragging the fat…

"What?... Why? Why would the liege of Count Jartel attack Jartel and Raftel at the same time? This does not make any sense." Sylvester asked. Felix shrugged and kept killing the men who came close to them. "I don't know. It happened all of a sudden. We just heard the rumbling of the ground. We were on the side of Raftel at that point, in the castle. The Duke's army came charging immediately and started mercilessly killing Jartel's men first, then moved towards Raftel County. This battle is crazy, Max! So…

Sylvester gritted his teeth as he already smelled the increased scent of death the closer they got. But, this time, the smell of death didn't come as a reminder of danger to him but as a messenger of the news—that death was spreading. "Look at the sky." Lady Aurora muttered. Sylvester glanced, frowned and increased the pace. In the distant sky, he saw many burning balls flying from Jartel county towards Raftel County. The catapults were at work, but that also confused him. "I don't remember Jartel…

"I have made up my mind." Sylvester expectantly awaited for the man to say what he wanted to hear. But he didn't keep his hopes up as it was impossible to read the necromancer's face. "I will only join you as a member of the crusade supervision team, not as a member of your permanent arrangement as Sanctum Inspector. When the crusade ends, I shall be on my way… if I believe that's the right thing to do. If I feel that due to me, your image is suffering, I shall leave." Bishop Lazark frankly spoke his…

"Uwaaaaa...!" It was Chonky, just vomiting the mud back out like a tap was opened. Sylvester hurried to him and patted his back. "You okay, bud? What's happening?" "I release all the mud out and keep the gold!" Chonky replied and continued. 'He can do that? This is brilliant. If he can separate materials inside his bottomless belly, I can probably use this ability in the future as well...to stea... tax the people.' Woosh! But he had a bloodling to play with for now. Its attacks had weakened by now and…
