Chapter 256: The Saintess Really Has Future Sight

After all, it was like an adult getting involved in a 2-year-old child’s matter. Which was crazy.

Earlier, at this information, Luke became so angry. Because he knew that unless Count Magnus came, no one else could stop an A rank being.

But after everything, he had heard about him, he had lost all hope from him.

Even though he was strong, there was no denial in this.

Sadly, he acted only once during the Demon invasion, and after that, he became completely silent.

Which he could understand, related to the King, Emperor, and politics.

And also, now he had a family, so he didn’t want to take a big action which could bring a huge reaction from anyone.

"Master." Theia’s worried voice brought Luke out of his thoughts.

He nodded at her, before telling the ending part.

"But the moment they decided to step into the mansion,"

"The Holy Church Templar Knights arrived with full force and stopped their steps."

’Templar Knights, the group of A rank beings.’ Theia immediately connected the rumors she had got from people’s memories.

In those rumors, whenever Templar Knights moved, kingdoms were overthrown, even empires became silent.

After all, no one wanted a group of A rank beings, which was called Country Destroyer, to arrive at their doorstep.

"So the Marquis, with an ugly face, had to return, and the same was with his B rank subordinates."

He also told that those knights were still guarding the territory.

’Lumina, I owe you this time.’ He thought about the Saintess of Light with a grateful expression.

Because protecting his territory was technically not coming under the church’s order. After all, they wouldn’t move unless the person touched upon their belief.

Hell, even for him, they wouldn’t move. After all, he was an talentless Hero.

Only the Saintess could command the Holy Church Knights without worrying about backlash from the church or the goddess herself.

’What was she thinking about my recent genius tag?’ He thought with an amused smile.

But the next moment, he removed those unnecessary thoughts from his mind.

"Sunrath, increase the speed." After that he gave the order.

However instead of replying, the lion simply—

"Meow~"

Crimson flames erupted around his four legs.

BOOM!

The ground shattered beneath his paws as his speed exploded.

WHOOSH!

Sunrath became a streak of fire racing across the land. Every step left cracks behind, yet before the destruction could even spread, he had already crossed hundreds of meters.

Along the way, everyone who saw the massive lion froze in fear.

After all, Sunrath never concealed his aura. The oppressive pressure of a B-Rank existence spread across the surroundings like an invisible storm, making everyone near standing turn pale.

Merchants halted their wagons.

Guards instinctively tightened their grip on their weapons.

Even knights couldn’t help but hold their breath.

"Fortunately, the Holy Church knights are here... otherwise, who knows what might have happened?" a passing merchant muttered after noticing the one figure calmly seated on the lion’s back.

Clearly, they had come to Blackstone to meet someone.

Sunrath didn’t care about their thoughts and with such terrifying speed, they quickly passed through the Ashveil trade route and arrived before Blackstone’s main gate.

But Luke had already disappeared, only Theia was seated upon Sunrath.

After all, earlier it was told that Luke was cultivating inside, so if he appeared form outside, that would create too many questions.

"Halt!" The guards at the main gate shouted toward Sunrath, with weapons in their hands.

Even though they were wary and afraid of Sunrath, since their cultivation was only of Bronze Knight,

they still did their duty, remembering that the territory still held Holy Church Knights.

Meaning no one would dare to cause trouble.

Which was kinda true.

Because the moment Sunrath entered 100km of Blackstone’s radius, they already knew about it.

Of course, they couldn’t identify Luke, since he had already appeared inside the Time Chamber using his teleportation.

While using *Null Veil of Nyx* ability, which hides his presence completely even from A rank beings.

Unless the higher beings spread their senses more actively.

Sadly for Luke, one person was able to find him, even without that.

The commander of Templar Knights.

"Greetings, Hero Luke." A middle-aged man with short white hair greeted Luke with a smile.

Clearly able to see through his ability.

Seeing he was already exposed, Luke removed the Null Veil and returned the greeting back.

"Hello, Sir-" He stopped after saying that, since he didn’t know the person’s name. Even though the person was wearing Holy Church radiant light armor.

"Solan Aeravyn." Solan introduced himself with a smile.

"Nice to meet you, Sir Solan." Luke greeted him again, and at the same time, both of them looked toward the main gate.

"Seems like I have to go." Luke said, before adding, "My pet and subordinate are outside."

Hearing those words, Solan raised his eyebrow in surprise.

Because those beings were clearly B rank, and Luke was telling that they were his pet and subordinate.

"Interesting." He didn’t think it was falsehood.

Instead he became interested in Hero Luke, the talentless hero of light.

After all, he was the one who had left the Holy Church to purge the Hidden Hand assassination organization, and also now he was here at the command of the Saintess.

For the earlier action, he knew why she was doing this.

After all, the hero of their church was touched, so the destruction was necessary.

But when she said that he had to protect Luke’s territory and also remain there until he appeared by himself,

he became confused.

At that time, he even thought, did the Holy Saintess have fallen for Hero Luke?

Or else, why would she remove one force from the demon frontline to his territory?

After all, almost all of the church’s members remain at the border of the Demon Continent all year round.

Otherwise, they would risk losing more ground.

But now seeing Luke’s territory, the strength of Silver Knights, and the subordinates, he got completely surprised.

"The Saintess really has future sight." He praised Saintess wisdom, before also moving toward the main gate.
