Starbeck's voice wasn't loud or soft but it was audible enough for the people around him to hear him clearly.
Right away, the people around him laughed.
"Hey, young master! Come, I have the Holy Thorn Grail!"
"Don't listen to him! The real Holy Thorn Grail is with me!"
Similar words of mocking sounded from a few of the men at the same time.
"Shut it!"
Kieran shouted just at the right moment and stepped up in front Starbeck, blocking him from the others. His aura that once terrified the gatekeeper appeared and enveloped the place again.
Compared to the gatekeeper, these men before him were even worse.
Each of them was frightened as if they were rabbits being hunted by a tiger; no one dared to even move a muscle.
Until Kieran brought Starbeck away, only then did men fall to the ground with sweat erupting from their bodies.
"Terrifying aura!"
"How many has he killed before?"
"A butcher down to the bones!"
