Hero of Harmony (Continued)

Chapter 304: Templar Assassin, Sash

"A-A High-Human!? This can't be! Haven't High-Humans been extinct for centuries?" Remarked the Bishop in shock and disbelief as he stared at the projection of Alexander before looking at Pop, whose smile only grew.

"Yes. Although there was a rumor of a High-Human in the Crestfallen Kingdom two decades ago, it was merely a rumor in the end." Muttered Pope faintly as he glanced at the Bishop with a faint smile before shifting his focus to the projection.

"However, this beautiful man before us is of the highest rank among humans, a natural-born ruler! With him and the Hero, we will spread Goddess Junsuina's purity to the three other continents and cleanse the world of impurity!" Added Pope with an ecstatic smile as he raised his arms to the side, already envisioning his desired future.

"What shall you have me do, Pope?" Asked the Bishop softly with a slight bow as he looked at the excited Pope, awaiting orders.

"Re-program the homunculi, have them capture this man, and send out double, no, triple the amount of currently active homunculi. Ensure no harm comes to him; he is the one who shall unify the several kingdoms into one!" Stated Pope firmly as he regained his composure with a deep breath before turning and glancing at the Pope, who nodded.

"Understood, Pope. However, what about the girl? The Saintess? Won't the Hero need her?" Asked the Bishop softly as he looked at Pope, who furrowed his brows while tapping his staff on the ground with every step taken.

"Her presence is even more of a concern with the appearance of a High-Human; if she defects to the other continents and informs them, it will make things more difficult. Keeping her alive now is less than ideal; have the Templar Assassins finish the job, and there is no need for an elaborate plan to force her to join our side. If she wished to go against purity, then she would be cleansed just like any other Impurity." Replied Pop indifferently as he continued walking, not even bothering to glance at the Bishop, who swiftly nodded.

"Yes, Pope. If you shall excuse me, I will get right to it." Stated the Bishop softly as he bowed once more to Pope, before quickly walking away, his footsteps fading into the distance.

Exiting the Homunculi chamber, I returned to the praying chamber, where I lowered to my knees and began praying... Praying for the greatness that was to come, all in the name of Goddess Junsuina.

"It won't be long now, Goddess. When your purest one arrives, he shall unify the Nsemo continent under your name, and the Hero shall begin the Great Cleanse." Said Pope softly with a look of reverence as he gazed upon the statue before kowtowing.

Exiting from underneath the Great Church, I swiftly walked down the halls, while responding to every greeting with a nod before arriving at the stairs; heading up to the peak of the Great Church, I walked down the much shorter hallway that led to a singular door, where the Leader of the Templar Assassin currently resided.

However, as I stood before the door, a potent stench wafted from beyond it, clearing my throat. I gently knocked on it, prompting it to faintly glow a few seconds later as it unlocked itself.

The moment I opened the door, the potent stench hit me in the face, followed by sexual grunts and moans filling the hallway behind me; clenching my nose, I closed the door behind me and gazed at the several impure women lying unconsciously on the ground. The sight of just one of these filthy creatures within the Great Church filled me with fury and hatred, let alone a whole slew of them, as they defiled the Great Church with their disgusting bodily fluids.

'I can't possibly fathom why he takes even the slightest interest in these disgusting creatures.' Thought the Bishop as he stood directly in front of the door, gazing at the dozen or so women before shaking his head.
