Chapter 624
‘The nobles are finished too.’
The nobles, whom I thought were a reliable shield—they too must be finished, judging by the current situation.
“You must flee immediately.”
Onax, staring at the burning temple, snapped back to reality at Ronita’s words. By now, they must have found the secret passage. They had to reach the Holy Empire before the pursuers arrived.
“Let’s go.”
Taking one last look at the temple, O’Nax turned back. Then, he began moving alongside Ronita.

“What are you talking about?”
Pope Rishur retorted in a flustered voice.
“The Elgab Temple in the Helioqua Empire was attacked?”
The reason Rishur was flustered was precisely because of the report that the Elgab Temple in the Heliocha Empire had been attacked.
“Yes.”
Gaul, delivering the report, nodded at Rishur’s question and continued. The report was not yet finished.
“Not only the Elgab Temple, but all temples established within the Heliocha Empire have been attacked.”
It wasn’t just the Elgab Temple that had been attacked. Every temple within the Heliocha Empire had been attacked.
“What about the Temple of Valen?”
Rishur, who had been looking flustered while listening to the report, seemed to regain his composure and asked Gaul with a cold stare.
“Nothing happened there, they say.”
CRASH!
At Gaul’s report, Rishur slammed his fist on the desk.
“Those bastards from Helio-Ka!”
Because of their ties to the Kingdom of Him, Rishur believed the Helio-Ka Empire could never be an ally. No, he hoped they never would be.
