Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3004

Lysander's youthful face flushed bright red. "You arrogant fool, you haven't even witnessed the true majesty of the Cathedral. If you've got the guts, tell me your name."

Andrew stared at him coldly. "I'm from Holtrien, and my name is Andrew Lloyd!"

Lysander froze. Then, his face went pale with shock. "You're the one who killed Rosemary? W-When did you become a martial god? And why do you have the Cathedral's holy light power in you?"

Before Andrew could answer, Kass emerged from the command tent behind them. His eyes were sharp as blades, locked on Andrew.

"You obtained the inherited power of Saint John, didn't you? Rosemary fell by your hand because of this, correct?"

Andrew said coldly, "I did obtain Saint John's holy light, but I didn't kill Rosemary. In the Wraith Graveyard, she was captured by the Ludendorff family. They tortured her and eventually killed her. However, the Ludendorff family pinned that crime on me."

Lysander shouted, "You think the Cathedral will believe your words? Blasphemer, you will be destroyed for defying our Lord!"

Andrew scoffed. "There are plenty who defy your Lord, such as the Dark Trinity and the Ludendorff family. They're everywhere, yet who's actually been destroyed so far? You're the Cathedral's Wisdom Angel, but from what I see, you're just a fool who can't tell right from wrong."

Kass smiled bitterly. "I don't know either. We'd probably have to ask His Excellency Mephiston about that. Andrew, we have your file at Lomuia Grand Cathedral. I just didn't expect to run into you here. Even though you're one of the Light's chosen, you're currently standing against Lomuia Grand Cathedral. Surrender the city and return to our Lord's embrace. Otherwise, I'll still have to eliminate you."

Andrew said indifferently, "I don't want to fight the Cathedral to the death, but Abyss City now belongs to my people and me. If the Cathedral wants it, then my sword will have to kill anyone who tries to take it."

Kass' face darkened. "You're asking for it! Lysander, for the glory of our Lord and the Pope's authority, attack with me!"

Immediately, the Cathedral's two martial god-level fighters erupted into battle with Andrew once more.
