The Finger

The [Knights of Plague Body Tempering Art] finally stopped when it reached Grandmaster level.

First, Ancilanco purposely stopped it there.

Second, an uninvited guest had appeared.

Kieran had expected the first before they even began.

He wasn't sure how much it would exhaust Ancilanco to display the technique but he was utterly sure it wouldn't be by no means a small amount.

The books from the collection room did mention that there were "many" cases in which the God of a certain church would descend and provide a divine blessing on the church's knights but it didn't mean a lot.

After all, the term "many" was considered within the range of a thousand years, so Kieran had reason to believe displaying a so-called "divine blessing" had quite the burden on the God who did it.
