The spire is a tall, pointed tower that rises above the cathedral's roof. Inside the spire is a luxurious chamber, but only the priest has access to it.
However, at this mont, two n were standing side by side in front of the large glass fra, which showed the entire scenery of the Holy Mountain Range and gave a very good view of the starry sky.
One of a wizened-face Faery Human with short silver hair and a skinny fra, he wore a golden priest robe with silver makings shaped like a justice scale. He was the priest of the Cardinal Spirit Church, Percy Edgar, a direct descendant of the Faery Humans' ruling clan, the Edgar Clan. He was also the Great-Grandson of the current Clan Leader as well as the Pope, Sebastian Edgar!
Beside Priest Percy was a young Faery Human with long silver hair and a handso appearance. He was wearing a dark golden robe, and his amber eyes contained deep shrewdness, which also hid his arrogance.
His na was Rudolph, and his identity was extrely special and noble among the Faery Humans, for he was a Holy Child undergoing his trial in the Conflict Plains.
"Every ti you ask for our lesson to be in the spire, you have sothing troubling you, Holy Child. Speak your mind freely; let's hear what kind of riddle is in your mind. But as always, I might not have an answer that you seek or don't have the answer at all." Percy gently asked without looking at Rudolph because his old eyes were profoundly looking toward the starry sky.
Rudolph glanced at Percy, who had been his ntor for many years and said, "ntor, I'm very grateful for all of your teaching and the experience you provided , and you treated like your own. But it seed we'd have to part ways soon since I received notification about the final trial for the Holy Son and Holy Daughter being opened in the main temple in three years. So, I want to tell you in this place where I have so many mories."
Percy finally averted his eyes from the sky and looked towards Rudolph, who seed very sincere and even sad about leaving this place.
He sighed while shaking his head, "I failed my duties when your younger twin brother was kidnapped right under my nose. But despite this grave sin, I'm still alive because of my eyes. And you know I deeply resent that since I should've been put to death that day for my sin.
"Nonetheless, I'm still proud of you for reaching this stage, and it seems I've completed the purpose my god has given him in this life. If you beco the Holy Son and then the Holy Pontiff, maybe, just maybe, the burden of my sin could be slightly reduced." A hint of pain and sadness crept out in Percy's eyes when he ntioned the biggest sha of his life.
However, Rudolph's expression changed ever so slightly when Percy ntioned his 'younger twin brother,' but he quickly hid it with his regrettable expression, "You don't have to bla yourself for what happened in the past. It wasn't your fault but those vile blasphers who profane the land of and took away his child and my little brother from us.
"Even now, his innocent face tornts to this day in my dreams, and for him, I have to succeed, and only then can I bring down God's judgnt on whoever did that vile act! Please don't bla yourself ntor, let handle the burden of avenging my little brother!" His tone was filled with hatred as his eyes shone with vengeance.
Percy's eyes flashed with gratification as he nodded solemnly with faint killing intent in his eyes, "I know you can do it, and don't worry, I'll be with you when that ti cos. I still must repent for my sin! Only then could I have face to return to the embrace of our God!"
"What the fuck? Is this a lodrama or sothing?" Right at this mont, an unfamiliar, deep yet annoyed voice rang in the spire, startling both Percy and Rudolph!
They were shocked because they knew no one could enter this place without going through the Holy Spirit Knights all over the cathedral. Not to ntion, this place was filled with traps and alarms; only soone with authority below Percy could reach it.
But even if soone managed to find such a person and even capture him, it was impossible for them to betray the Temple. Yet the impossible had happened!
However, this wasn't the first ti soone had broken into the church, and it wasn't the first ti this kind of thing had happened. Percy felt like he was experiencing déjà vu as if he had experienced the sa thing that happened almost six decades ago!
"Who dares to break into the land of god!?" Rudolph's pupils suddenly turned to vanish as his amber iris spread over his eyes, turning completely golden.
"Oh, you guys indeed have special eyes; this just makes it even more worth my while." At this mont, the closed door blasted open!
The next mont, a towering giant wearing a windbreaker and hood over his head walked in with slow and steady steps. Behind his hood, cold golden eyes were glowing like two suns.
"Ahhhhh!" Rudolph suddenly let loose a strange painful cry when he looked towards the face of this hooded giant with his amber eyes which suddenly backlashed, it was as if he was looking at a burning sun, and blood trickled down from the corner of his eyes.
Percy's heart trembled when he saw Rudolph suffering a backlash from using his eyes, which should have been impossible since Rudolph was a peak Unique Rank, and his proficiency in using his eyes had beco a little bit better than even himself. This ans this giant should have had a powerful treasure that was protecting him from their eyes. He didn't even entertain the thought of soone resisting their eyes in the entire Unique Plains.
Furthermore, since this giant had revealed himself so arrogantly and bypassed all the security in the church, this could only an he was very skilled and confident enough to take both on.
"That tickled slightly." The giant scoffed as his golden eyes were locked on Rudolph's face.
"Are you here to assassinate the Holy Child?" Percy took a deep breath and concealed his nervousness as he took a step forward in front of Rudolph. He was going to stake his life to protect Rudolph and wouldn't let his previous mistake repeat itself.
The giant, who was obviously Jacob, looked towards Percy at this mont before he said, "You know, I couldn't help myself but hear your touching conversation just now. Although I didn't plan to raise this subject, after seeing that idiot's face, I changed my mind. Let show you what I'm talking about."
Percy and Rudolph, who had suppressed the pain his eyes were startled when they heard this giant's strange words.
However, when Jacob dropped the hood and revealed his face, Percy was gobsmacked with disbelief while Rudolph's eyes widened fully, his face turned pale, and he directly dropped on his butt with horror.
"I-I-I… Impossible!" He shrilled while crawling back.
Jacob's eyes narrowed as he looked at ashen Rudolph and chuckled thoughtfully, "Why are you reacting like you've just seen a ghost?"
