178 Chapter 178 - Coexistence

The instant golden runes appeared on Messai’s arm, Pest was also prepared for a battle.

A templar… and not a new recruit that hasn’t been to the battlefield either.

The blood manipulation she was intensely proud of would not be able to cause any substantial injury to a templar of Messai’s caliber. It would only be able to affect her movements in the battle.

Because of that, Pest moved her hand toward her back and grabbed onto a dagger she had behind her back.

Why would an Ecclesiastical Templar appear here?

Alerted by Messai’s movements, Pest began to survey the tavern. She was searching to see if there were other templars in the tavern.

With her sharp senses for the power of the Holy Light, Pest soon discovered over five humans among the guests of the tavern that uses the Holy Light system…

In other words, there were at least six Ecclesiastical Templars in this tavern. This would be equivalent to the tavern being surrounded by the Ecclesiastical Templars.

As more and more people started coming to the Hearthstone Tavern, there has been multiple powerful mages that grew furious from losing a Hearthstone match and took out their staffs with the intention to ease their anger with a real life ‘Hearthstone’ match.

But, they were all kicked out of the tavern by Joshua. Regardless of who one might be, it didn’t matter at all in this tavern filled with nobles, mages and even sages from the Sage Tower. The mages that were kicked out but were still planning to cause trouble ended up being beaten up by the dwarves.

Because of that, a sort of unspoken rule emerged in the tavern. ‘You can play as a dirty Steal Priest, but you’d best prepare yourself for a fight against your opponent in real life once you exit the tavern.’

But, the newcomer Pest clearly did not know about that unspoken rule. She had already unsheathed her dagger behind her back. The sharpness of the dagger and an intense reeking of blood began to spread out from the sentinel lady.

Pest was holding onto her dagger in full alert. After all, Messai was not an ordinary opponent.

But, when she was focused on Messai’s every movement, Joshua walked down from the tavern’s second floor.

Pest did not even need to confirm Joshua’s identity with her eyes. Merely from her keen ‘smell’ for blood, she verified her target had appeared.

She rushed over and shielded Joshua behind her. Lowering her voice, she said, “You’re in great danger right now.”

“I think you’re mistaken about something, Miss Sentinel.”

“Let’s chat upstairs. Pluk, you come too.”

After he finished saying those words, Joshua started walking upstairs.

Only Pest, still holding onto her dagger, and Pluk remained. Pluk didn’t say anything and brushed past Pest to walk upstairs.

When Pluk started walking upstairs, he felt a slight pain to his heart.

It was Pest. Pest was telling him to stand there and not move.

“Why are you able to remain this calm?”

Pest was unable to understand why Pluk would act like nothing happened and start walking upstairs.

The Ecclesiastical Templars were not law enforcers from a small country. They were professional executioners of demons. Shouldn’t a demon like Pluk, a demon that doesn’t possess any fighting strength, flee the very moment he encounters a templar?
