Killing two Tier 6s in such a manner would have shocked many if they were present. However, when one recalled that Corey was now a Tier 5, just a step below a Tier 6, it wasn't surprising anymore.
Pope Arzhel was not surprised by the fact that Corey killed the priest and mage since he expected such a thing. To him, the priest and mage were fools for trying to interfere in a battle of this caliber, and since they wanted to die so badly, then he would not stop them.
However, what took the Pope by surprise was Corey's telekinesis.
'Since when did he have telekinesis? And why does his telekinesis feel... different from Tessa's.'
'Tessa's telekinesis borrows the help of the world to move objects, but his is like he's imposing what he wants on the world?'
'... Like he's imposing his intent... his will on the world. No. That cannot be.'
The Pope's eyes widened as a thought came to his mind, but he shook his head inwardly, refusing to believe that such a thing was possible.
