Ladirma blinked his eyes, slowly glancing at the young lion, "You are setting Master as a standard? I don't mean to mock you, but you are choosing the wrong standard from the start."

"Why not? Sir Tang is still a Demi-God Rank. I want to be a strong Demi-God Rank like him who can easily defeat the people with the same rank," Maru heard directly from King Frost that Sir Tang Shaoyang was a Demi-God Rank. A Demi-God Rank that was stronger than King Frost.

That was the reason he wanted to fight Tang Shaoyang. He wanted to find out the gap between him and Sir Tang, the person whom King Frost seemed to admire. He now found out the gap was just too big even though they were in the same rank.

It was Ladirma's turn to be surprised as he heard those. He did not know Tang Shaoyang's rank, and this was the first time he heard it. He assumed Tang Shaoyang was a God Rank, not just because he had a summon like the angelic woman and the evil woman, but because they were set on a journey to kill the Seven Gods.

Only God Rank could kill another God Rank. No one was stupid enough to challenge a God Rank while they were still in the Demi-God Rank. But there was one now if the young lion was telling the truth.

"You are lying to me!" Worm1 held the young lion's wide shoulder. It looked funny because Ladirma was around 1.8 meters while Maru was 3 meters tall, "This is not funny even for a joke, you know!?" He hoped what he heard was a lie.

"King Frost was the one who told me about Sir Tang's rank. If not for King Frost, I might think Sir Tang was also God Rank," Maru grinned while shaking his head, "But don't worry though. Even though Sir Tang is a Demi-God Rank, he has killed several God Ranks, and one of them is a Divine Dragon."

"Did you trust that? A Demi-God Rank killed several God Ranks, even a dragon?" Ladirma was not aware of what Divine Dragon implied. He thought all dragons were equally stronger, "You can't just trust what he says!"

"Why not, though? It's not like he had ever told a single lie before, and didn't you see his Bloodline Transformation in Turan City? He has a Dragon Bloodline. From what I heard, he inherited The King of Orin Forest's bloodline, Sir Rumru, The Black Dragon," That was what Frost told him and the others as well.

"This is madness. This is madness. This is madness." Ladirma muttered the same words three times. He thought he made the right choice to surrender, but now he found out that Tang Shaoyang was not even a God Rank. Challenging Seven Gods by himself was already crazy, and now he found something crazier. His Master was not even a God Rank, "Do you think Dragon Bloodline would be enough to win against those Seven Gods? If Dragon could kill them, why do you think The Five Guardians of Aidan Continent did not kill The seven Gods?"

"You are making too much fuss for something trivial. Just because they could not do it, doesn't mean Sir Tang could not do it as well," Kaltum snickered from the other side as he approached the two.

Ron nodded, "You better watch your mouth. We don't lose our new comrade because your mouth is loose. You are quite a useful comrade, after all."

"Let's regroup. Don't make Sir Tang wait for too long," Tisha headed back out, picking up her pace.

If Ladirma idolized Jovrick for killing a Dragon, The four beastmen idolized Tang Shaoyang. They did not know it yet, but they had an unconditional trust in Tang Shaoyang after seeing him, slaughtering The Temple's army and also Temple's knights. The Orin Kingdom had been suppressed for far too long by The Temple. So when a figure showed up and destroyed The Temple, they idolized that person. The Temple was like their kingdom's arch nemesis, haunting them from the start of the game until now.

The group met Tang Shaoyang outside the castle, and Tang Shaoyang was leaning against the wall at the other side of the entrance. The knight's bodies were scattered between the entrance to the gate. When The Temple was under attack, the knights who were on guard on the city wall, the knights who were on patrol, and the knights who were off duty were recalled. However, they never reached inside to provide help as they were killed there.

Tang Shaoyang yawned as he was getting bored from waiting, "What took you guys so long? I thought it was just Five Legend Ranks?"

Two Demi-God Ranks, two Legend Ranks, and one Primordial Rank. That should be enough to kill five Legend Ranks quickly. But he waited for forty minutes for them to come out. That was too long, "If you take this much time every time we raid The Temple. I will send my summon instead."

Tang Shaoyang waved his hands as Tisha was about to make an excuse, "We will leave right away. Save your blabber for yourself." He then turned around and pushed the gate from inside.

It was a similar scene when he got out of the castle in Turan City. People gathered around the castle, but this time there were no civilians. Hundreds of Adventurers surrounded the castle even though The Temple did not ask them for aid.

Hundreds of knights rushed back to the temple, including the knights who guarded the main gate. There was no way it would go unnoticed. The Guild Leader of Akkon Adventurer Guild immediately gathered all available adventurers and surrounded The Temple when they heard the sound of fighting. Despite the sound of fighting and screams, they did not enter the temple, respecting The Harmony Temple's strict regulations.

The gate was opened, but what he saw was not the knight with white armor and green cape, but two humans and four beastmen. The Guild Leader recognized one of the humans, The Black Iron Adventurer, The Tempest Swordsman, Ladirma.

There were less than a hundred Black Iron Adventurers, and as a Guild Leader, he memorized them all because he did not want to offend them. The Black Iron possessed similar strength to the twelve Cardinals, after all.

"This…." The Guild Leader did not know how to react to this. He could see past them that the knight's bodies were scattered around.

Tang Shaoyang remembered that there was something he had forgotten. He turned toward the four beastmen, "Where's the bodies? I told you to bring the bodies."

Ron and Kaltum turned around, "We forgot. We will retrieve the bodies quickly."
