Being summoned to the Church is the last thing they all wanted to go to, but they had no choice. The priests lead the group to the church to meet up with the Bishop of Gresit.

"I'm actually going inside of a church." Zeldris deadpanned.

"I think God could forgive us." Meliodas replied to his brother.

"Or just decides to piss in our drinks." The younger demon remarks sarcastically, before feeling a not-so-subtle jab in his back. Not that it bothers or affects him, but a filth had the nerve to touch him.

He calmly glances at the other priest who was close enough to do it, and gives him a chilling stare.

"Do that again, and you lose an arm." Zeldris threatens him rather menacingly. Yelena held his hand to calm him, which worked.

"When we get inside the church, and something happens like it burns down, it's your fault." Trevor said sarcastically to the priests.

"Might as well pray for forgiveness unless God has already abandoned you all." Elizabeth says coldly to the priests.

They are reaching halfway to where the church is, and quite honestly the surroundings look more depressing than rather holy. Understandable if the graveyard is close by, not so much with crows cawing.

"Alright, you guys stay quiet and let me do the talking." The Belmont remarks as they're getting close.

"As long as you refrain from saying insensitive shit and pissing off the Bishop." Yelena remarks. She is just cringing at herself going into the church but she sucks it up.

Both Meliodas and Zeldris could feel their souls burning. Ryoko holds both of them in hand to support them. Elizabeth feels the energy was off in the church.

"It feels evil in here." she commented.

"I wonder why." Yelena deadpans, as the priests open the doors for them to enter.

And they did so out of obligation, the doors closing as they approached further ahead past the rows of pews. Their footsteps echoing in the fairly empty church until they stop upon reaching where the raised platform is.

There was another set of steps coming from the side, revealing to be the Bishop himself who appears to be an elderly man with a red solideo and in robes. He stands in the center, staring down at them with a stoic expression.

"I am the Bishop of Gresit." He tells them.

"You're not from around here." Trevor comments with slightly narrowed eyes. The Bishop doesn't appear native here.

"No. I am originally from Targoviste. I was an aid to the Archbishop. How did you divide that?" The older man remarks.

"Well you're not running away screaming like the rest of the folks for one thing." Trevor said bluntly.

The bishop chuckles in amusement. "From you?" He replied to the Hunter.

"From the rabie-eating freaks of nature that apparently raid Gresit every night." Trevor replied. The bishop walks around on the podium.

"I'm here to save Gresit." The Bishop tells the Hunter. Ryoko's eyes narrowed at that.

"How in the hell do you intend to do that?" She demanded coldly.

"I brought you here to answer some questions, not ask them." The Bishop says sternly.

"Tough shit. How exactly do you intend to help these people? By killing the Speakers?" Trevor questioned him.

"The Speakers brought these troubles upon themselves." The Bishop remarks, as though placing the blame on them. That made Trevor smile in amusement at the ridiculous notion that isn't true.
