Will of chaos

It took me a while to get to the Temple of the Law, but even along the way, I couldn't calm my anger.

I could understand the Church of Light turning against me considering my mother, considering me having saved Vanessa who was supposed to be a Saint of the Church of Light, or having accepted the traitors of the Church of Light by letting them join me.

I can understand some organizations or governments we've been through coming after us considering what we've done, I can even understand extremists coming after us.

But from what I can understand, the Temple of the Law acts like a mixture of religion and a world police organization.

The very concept of this is idiotic considering that each nation has different laws and different ways of applying those laws which are also different.

Now a religion I've never been involved with before, a religion I've never done anything against comes after me and my family accusing us of being criminals without having any proof is something I refuse to accept, such nonsense is outrageous even from think.

I know it may seem hypocritical considering the way they identify us as criminals is similar to how Lilith identifies her targets for revenge, but at least I research those targets to see if they deserve whatever kind of horror Lilith does to them.

Not long ago we even discovered a man who seems to have changed his life and now runs an orphanage, that's why we left him alone, even Lilith recognizes that the memories of the horrors the man committed in the past would be enough torture for him and removed the man from his hit list.

But these people from the Temple of Law went after Irius, Irina, and the others in the Dungeon not knowing anything, we marked us as criminals not knowing what kind of crimes we committed and why.

Thinking these things only made it worse, I was mad with rage, the level of arrogance that considers yourself worthy of judging others for things you know nothing about is nothing but tyrant.

When I arrived at the Temple of the Law I was waiting for, I knew that this Temple must have some strong High Priest like the other Religions I went to today.

From the looks we received from the Priests in the surroundings, I knew that soon he would be informed, besides that his wounded Priests must have already returned with those who died in the Dungeon, I'm sure they would report everything to their superiors.

Before long a middle aged Man who appears to be a Human came by, he had a serious and calm expression, by the way, he looked at everyone, I knew he was sizing us up.

Even Alvin had shown up to serve as a mediator, I didn't expect him to show up so quickly, I don't even know how he found out I was coming to the Temple of the Law.

I spoke to High Priest Alfred who introduced himself easily, I'm sure he noticed my hostility and murderous intent, I myself couldn't perceive anything from him other than what I was seeing.

I gave him two options, making it very clear that I was using the loopholes in the rules on this island to threaten to kill every Priest who enters the Dungeons.

As much as I made my hostility apparent and was threatening someone clearly stronger than me using the current situation to my advantage, High Priest Alfred wasn't angry, at least he didn't show it.

I expected him to threaten me back or at least show some reaction to my words, but all he shows is calm.

"You know your threats are useless, I can ask no one from this temple to enter the Dungeons until you leave, I can also make them enter large groups to outnumber you." (Alfred)

"You can do what you want, but you will have to accept the losses resulting from your decision." (I)

"Your anger can be understood young Vampire, I already know what happened inside the Dungeon, I know that people from this temple made mistakes, but they are young and inexperienced." (Alfred)

"But the fact that you are here to threaten our Temple of the Law when only we lost people in that confrontation shows how important the people around you are." (Alfred)

"I'm not denying that I care about my comrades, but you also have your flaws as you attacked members of another religion, can I assume you're ready to start a confrontation between two religions?" (I)

"More than two master religions, I will act depending on what is decided here." (Diana)

For the first time, this High Priest's calm gaze changes to an expressionless one as he looks at Diana and then Vanessa.

"I suppose a High Priestess of Blood and a Champion of Fenrir have the authority to make such a decision." (Alfred)

"You attacked our friends." (Diana)

"Those who were attacked were my family, if any of them had died because of that, it would be a war that would start between our two religions." (Vanessa)

"Don't make empty threats High Priestess of Blood, the Champion of Fenrir could do that, but you can't speak your Religion around like she does." (Alfred)

"Not yet, but that day will come." (Vanessa)

The High Priest releases his Aura but I can't feel anything, I knew it was there but it was like a solid wall blocking me from feeling or seeing anything.

The High Priest tried to do something, but an equally imperceptible Aura came out of Alvin to block him.

"Your Aura is too strong to be used for investigation in this way, High Priest Alfred." (Alvin)

"I was just a little curious, sorry." (Alfred)

"I will stop the Priests of this place from doing anything against you and your group, but you have just committed a threatening crime against Priests of the Law, our conversation could be considered a confession, so expect to be approached once more in the future, this once again with evidence of their crimes." (Alfred)

"Good luck when the time comes, I hope your Religion is prepared to lose people again when the time comes." (I)

"I really don't wish to make enemies or get involved with your religion again, but I will always defend my group and I won't give in without a fight." (I)

"Those who follow the Law need never fear persecution, keep this in mind so as not to increase their crimes further." (Alfred)

"I think the matter is settled, better come back now, Mr Zenos." (Alvin)

High Priest Alfred is someone smart, he kept a calm demeanor while gathering information, I noticed that but there was nothing he could do, he even noticed Vanessa and Diana's identities, surprised me he didn't notice mine and Freya's, maybe he has just didn't talk about it.

I returned with everyone home without saying anything else, I know the Temple of the Law will treat us like criminals from now on, but I'll have to think about it more to know how I'm going to deal with them.
