Those powerhouses in the crowd who struck were not brainless, daring to attack in the home base of the strongest faction like apes. They timed their strike perfectly and even shouted out righteous words, making it hard for the Holy Saint Summoner faction to take their lives if things went awry.

"STOP!"
"HOW DARE YOU ALL!"
"PROTECT THE SAINT CHILD!"
