Upon hearing Abby's question, that man could not contain himself and said what he thought or knew under the effects of her innate ability. "I don't know His Highness to say if yes or no, but he can probably be considered an ambitious person."
"He seems very focused in his activities and does not tolerate mistakes."
"Would he violate the rules of the Church to get a higher position?" Abby rephrased her question.
"I don't know..." That Spiritual Emperor answered sincerely, while his body trembled from trying to reject the manipulation caused by Abby's powers.
Meanwhile, the three opponents of Minos' group were already in the surroundings, silently observing that area with several pilasters and low light.
Only a small side window on top of one of the basement walls allowed light to pass into that space.
'They are talking about His Highness!' The Spiritual Saint's eyes widened as his heart beat faster and faster at the possibility of what would happen there.
He heard Abby's voice. "You don't know anything compromising?"
"No."
"And who would know? I bet there are Spiritual Emperors who are closer to him, no?"
He continued to tremble as he said with difficulty. "That would be his secretary. But that person took her post just recently, so even she won't know much..."
"Only those above level 69 would have sensitive information." He commented, startling the Spiritual Saint and the other two men by his frankness in telling the truth so quickly.
'Is he on drugs? Are they forcing the truth out of him?' The Spiritual Saint noticed the bluish fog in the surroundings of that subordinate of the royal family.
'Damn it!'
'Those bastards of the Spiritual Church even have someone with such a good ability!'
'With that, they only lack the strength to be able to remove the truth from someone who knows something!' He clenched his fists and began to breathe faster.
"Boss..."
It would have been much harder for him to prove the Vogel family guilty if they had ignored him. But with this Spiritual Saint willing to act, that showed all the guilt of this organization, enough for the Church to consider action against them!
That was why he had said the previous words and was happy with the enemy's stance.
As for the power difference between their groups, he did not think he was at such a disadvantage there.
Minos then smiled and said. "I'll give you the same chance. Surrender now, and you may be able to save yourselves. Otherwise, prepare to face extermination!"
"You have sent Spiritual Saints to Black Plain, a far more heinous crime than the one committed by Furious Shadows!"
As the two Spiritual Emperors frowned, the Spiritual Saint's face became darker, with him realizing that the opposing side had already figured it all out.
"Fallacy! You're crazy!" He shouted as he circulated his energies, already preparing to act. 'First, I'm going to kill this wretch just to make sure that bigger problems don't happen!'
"Men, these people don't listen to the voice of reason. So use lethal force. There's no need to spare any of these people!" He said as Minos' group also prepared to act.
Minos looked at Abby and Ruth and then said without delay. "Do as I instructed earlier. But don't hesitate. This battle will be over in a heartbeat!"
"All right!" The two replied while Gloria was in anticipation to see what difference Always Up would make to these three at this point.
The effects of that herb on her body had already passed, and only Abby, Minos, and Ruth could still experience such a thing.
But since the difference between her and that Spiritual Saint was only one level, and she probably had better techniques than his, she knew that the battle was not so unfavorable to her group.
That even considering that there were two other opponents there who, in typical situations, would be strong enough to cause danger to them.
Hence, despite being pregnant and at a disadvantage in terms of level to her group, Gloria was somewhat excited and curious if they could achieve Minos' ambitious plan.
Minos saw that the enemies were about to attack and commented provocatively to that Spiritual Saint. "If you will not surrender now, prepare for the ultimate consequences. We will kill these two and force you to talk!"
"Tsk!"
Without another word, the three flew towards Minos' group as black rings began to appear from the bodies of those two Spiritual Emperors.
Devouring Art!
