It seemed that the priest who came down wasn't the only alerted member of the Church.
"It's actually really impressive, don't you think, Bear?" Kai asked after stopping at the top of the stairs. In just a minute or two after they were alerted, they had managed to gather more than a hundred men and women here.
"So many people gathered just for us!"
There were also Holy Knights, Bishops and other high-ranking members of the clergy within them. Some of them actually looked rather tough, and Kai started doubting himself. He didn't want to kill anyone from a force that could threaten Aethereom, let alone himself.
