Chapter 917
Herasu was shivering ceaselessly when he saw that elder in the priest outfit from Sin Temple approaching fast .
The outfit was different than the common priest outfit, there was a gold line embedded across the robe .
In most of the temples, the gold line meant only one thing: the archpriest!
The archpriest of Sin Temple, Burwell!
Burwell played a heavy role within Naveya City or even the entire Southern region and it wasn't just because he was the archpriest of Sin Temple but he himself was a legend!
A living legend!
Burwell killed two gang members when he was 13 and was severely wounded in the process . He was then adopted by a nameless Sin Temple deacon, thus started his astonishing life .
When he was 14 and after recovering from past wounds, he relied on some techniques that he learned from the Sin Knights and wiped out that gang with a total of 20 members single-handedly, he then fell back into a heavily wounded state .
Everyone else thought he would be done for but after passing out for three full days, Burwell woke up again .
Everyone was shocked by Burwell's willpower and they thought he would quietly and honestly inherit his adopted father's position since then .
He did just that for the next two years until the poor nameless deacon was killed by robbers on the way to the south .
That year, Burwell was 16 and after he heard the news, he vanished from the temple that night .
Burwell didn't know who killed his adopted father but it didn't matter . All he needed to do was kill every single robber along the way to the south .
Ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand .
One day, ten days, a hundred days, a thousand days .
A year, two years, three years and ultimately ten years!
Burwell transformed from a 16-year-old teenager to a 26-year-old young adult and his name became the nightmare for the robbers of the southern road .
Every robber was horrified by mention the name alone and therefore, the numbers decreased gradually .
From the most dangerous era where hundreds of thousands of robbers lurked the southern road to only a handful of them left and ultimately none at all .
After that, 26-year-old Burwell returned to Naveya City .
He returned with broken and ragged shirts with a rusty sword in his hand but he was received in a heroic manner . However, he didn't care about any of those, instead he returned back to Sin Temple immediately, successfully challenged the chief knight and replaced him as the new one .
20 years after that, he successfully ascended to officiant and eventually archpriest .
Burwell reached the status of archpriest in the age of 46, a number that would be remembered by the people to come but in Burwell's case, it wasn't that all surprising .
He had too many achievements, too many merits in battle, it convinced everyone easily and people felt a heartfelt admiration for the man, even though he had aged, the admiration hadn't changed .
At least, Herasu from Hunter Temple was dumbstruck completely by Burwell's arrival .
Looking at the Sin Temple archpriest that appeared before him, Herasu was left shivering and a messy state of mind, he never thought it would be so coincidental .
Just as Herasu was about to pick a side, Burwell appeared!
It was too coincidental! To the point that even Herasu who was dumbstruck realized something wasn't right .
Herasu unconsciously turned his eyes to Kieran beside him .
"I'll forgive Pudd, just like how you are willing to stand with Thorn Temple . "
Kieran said in a plain and slow tone as though he was stating an undeniable fact .
However, from the start of his speech to the end, Kieran didn't even lay an eye on Herasu .
His attention was completely captivated by the arrival of Sin Temple's archpriest .
Likewise, the archpriest, Burwell didn't care about Herasu either, instead, he went straight to Kieran .
Burwell stopped when he was almost 20 meters away from Kieran .
Both of them gazed at each other .
Burwell's eyes were sharp and shining while Kieran's eyes were different from the calm ones from before, his eyes too became sharp as a sword, unrivaled by any other .
Huuu!
The night breeze was whistling but when it approached Kieran and Burwell, it sank instantly as though it was blown into a bottomless abyss without any echo .
Silent .
Extremely silent .
