Bernard stood on the roof of the building in front of the castle. He was the Vice Guild Leader of the Turan Adventurer Guild. Marten sent him a message, telling him and the remaining adventurers to get ready to fight. The message was specific only to bring The Epic Rank and above. It was as if The Adventurer Guild was ready to declare war against the temple.

'I hope it's not a war against the temple. I hate them, but I don't think we can win against them,' He knew his limitation, and he believed Marten also knew their situation. Especially when Turan City became The Temple's military camp to fight against The Orin Kingdom. The Temple put their army in this city, and it was stupid to fight The Temple right now.

Bernard could hear the sound of fighting from inside the wall. He glanced at the knight who barricaded the castle. They were not on the move, which meant the situation was not dire enough for them to get involved, 'I heard The Harmony Apostle, The Sun Apostle, and also The Seventh Clown in this city. Marten is not stupid enough to fight them, right? But why do I hear the sound of fighting from inside?'

The Vice Guild Leader kept checking his message log, hoping to get an update from Marten. Unfortunately, Marten was too busy to send a message when his life was in danger. If not for Avyn, Marten would send the message to have them barge into the castle. It was as if each Avyn's strike could kill him.

A person in dark clothes with a mask appeared next to Bernard, "I hope you have information for me, Gerit."

The person called Gerit chuckled when he heard Bernard's tone, "It seems you are afraid of going to war against The Temple, Vice Bernard." It was a rare chance for Gerit to tease his Vice Guild Leader, and he did not miss the chance to tease Bernard.

"I wish I could respond to your teasing positively, but not right now," Bernard shook his head, "Tell me what happened?"

"I heard from the people that an unknown group landed inside the castle. From my information, they are beastmen and one human. From the look of it, they are from the four Major Tribes of The Orin Kingdom. So you don't need to worry, Vice Bernard. We are not fighting The Temple. Guild Master Marten is assisting The Temple to fight the invader." Gerit delivered the positive news.

That put Bernard at ease a little bit, but he was still concerned, "There are three Apostles, and we have our Guild Master inside, and yet, they still could not stop the invader? Can't you check inside, Gerit?"

"If this is a payback for teasing you, then you have gone too far, Vice Bernard. Do you want me to get killed? You know how strict these fanatics are. If they know that I entered their Sacred Temple; they will hunt me down like a mad dog. Go yourself if you want to see what happens inside. I still want to enjoy my peaceful life longer," Gerit refused the order.

Bernard was debating by himself whether to sneak into the castle or not. His gut feeling told him to enter the castle, but he knew The Temple as well as Gerit. The man was right, The Temple would hunt him down if he tried to sneak into their sacred ground without their permission.

Bang!

While he was contemplating whether to enter the castle or not, the steel gate broke open as a figure flew toward his building. It was just a moment, but he saw the figure who flew from the castle. The figure had white armor and a green cape, The Knight of The Harmony Temple.

Boom!

The broken steel gate slowly fell to the ground, and almost crashed onto the knights outside. It was a fifteen-meter steel gate. The knights might not die, but they would get hurt if that metal plate hit them.

The noisy murmur fell into a deep silence as everyone's attention was on the gate. Everyone wanted to know what made the knight fly outside like that. Soon three-meter tall figure slowly came out of the gate. It was something everyone had never seen in their lives.

A black-scaly figure with three pairs of wings stood in the middle of the gate. The creature scanned the crowd and spoke, "If you are not part of The Temple, LEAVE! OR I WILL KILL YOU ALL! HIDE IN YOUR HOUSE, AND YOU WILL BE SAFE!"

After the figure spoke, he let out a deafening roar which immediately made the crowd scatter, screaming while running. The knights swarmed the creature, but those knights' heads popped off with a single fist. The knights that set up the barricade comprised of Epic Rank and Ancient Rank. But the creature still popped their heads easily as if he popped off the watermelon.

"What should we do, Vice Bernard?" Gerit lost his playful side as he witnessed how brutal the dragon-like creature was.

"I will try to hold this creature. You go inside and look for Guild Master Marten," Bernard ordered.

This time, Gerit did not care whether he would be hunted or not. This was an emergency, and he immediately took a detour to get into the castle.

Bernard's heart skipped a beat when he noticed the creature was looking at Gerit precisely. He was ready to move if the creature wanted to attack Gerit, but the creature let Gerit be. He tried to use Detection on the creature, but it did not work, 'That thing has a magic tool to block my detection, or it might have one of its natural abilities to block Detection.'

Then their gazes met, and his heart was beating like crazy. He remembered this feeling. It was during The Dungeon raid that the boss monster almost wiped out his party. It was the same feeling when he faced that absurdly strong boss monster. freeweb novel.com

'I have my team ready,' Bernard tried to encourage himself. He sent a signal to the adventurers in the perimeter as he came down from the roof. He maintained a safe distance, of twenty meters. Twenty meters was a safe distance he believed that he could react in time no matter how fast the creature was. As he landed, dozens of adventurers gathered behind him as well.

"Be careful, Vice Bernard!" A hoarse voice warned Bernard. The adventurers looked back to where the voice was. A knight came out of the building. His shiny armor was tattered as he limped his way to the adventurer.

"Captain Hosein!" The adventurers recognized the knight. It was the Captain Guard who was responsible for the temple's security.

"He is on the same level as The Apostle! You have to be more careful!"

'I know!' Bernard wanted to yell that out. He knew it with just a single look, and he wanted to question Captain Hosein, 'Where's your bastard Apostles in this time? Where are they when we need them?' Bernard wanted to say that out aloud, but he kept it to himself.

'We have no choice but to stall for Guild Master Marten,' Vice Bernard made up his mind because he was not that confident to defeat that creature, 'This creature seems to be reasonable to let the citizen escape. Maybe I can delay him with a few conversations until Marten comes out. Maybe I should figure out where it comes from too.'

He was about to open the conversation when he saw a woman figure come out of the castle. He was not attracted to the lady's beauty, but the figure in that lady's hand. The figure was familiar, too familiar for him not to recognize the man.

Avyn threw the body in front of Tang Shaoyang while stretching out, "It's decent warming up, but still not enough. That's the body for you!"

It was Marten's body, The Turan Adventurer Guild's Guild Master.
