I formed a net of my familiars to block the attack right before it hit my back. And the high priest took this chance to attack me from the front as well.
The heat of the explosions pushed me around, but because of my familiars, I was able to block a lot of the heat out.
Not that it mattered to the high priest, because he took out his own weapon to rush toward me.
He attacked without any mercy, his intention clear—to cut me down. He was not hesitating or pulling back any punches.
Somehow, I managed to break through his guard and raise my scythe to make a harsh blow, only for the high priest to raise his hand. Suddenly, a person stood in front of the high priest, his eyes terrified.
I had to pull my attack back before I hit an innocent person.
"Your compassion is going to be your downfall. You should know when to abandon the people around you."
The high priest told me before he threw the terrified person toward me. I had to let go of my weapon to catch that falling body.
