Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3055

Kass admitted it, but then his tone shifted. "However, we have no intention of seeking cooperation at this time. You should know that we at Lomuia Grand Cathedral never compromise with anyone. We are followers of the Light, and we only align ourselves with the Light."

Andrew shrugged. "Alright, I get it. To put it plainly, Archbishop, you don't think much of my side's strength, right? Or perhaps, what you're thinking is to take down Throne City, wipe out the Ludendorff family, and then turn your massive army around to sweep through my territory. That does fit the Cathedral's usual style. I'll be going now."

Kass' eyelids twitched violently. Andrew had calmly laid out the plans he had been harboring.

After saying that, Andrew simply stood up to leave, acting as if it were no big deal.

Kass thought, 'Does this brat have something to rely on? Or does he simply believe the Cathedral would never dare move against him?'

He hesitated, wondering whether he should stop Andrew and stabilize things for now.

At that moment, Lysander stormed in, his face flushed with anger. He shouted, "Andrew, stop right there. You slaughtered our warriors and blasphemed my Lord. Today, I will erase you completely in the purification of holy light."

Andrew looked at him and burst out laughing. "You're supposed to be the Angel of Wisdom? You look like an idiot to me."

Without mercy, Andrew launched straight into mockery.

Lysander's face turned crimson as he exploded in rage. "What did you say?"

Andrew stepped forward, looking down at Lysander with a cold voice. "I said you're an idiot. Setting aside the fact that you came barging in so aggressively looking for trouble, do you even have the strength for it? So what if this is your Cathedral's command tent? If I want to leave, can you and the Archbishop stop me?"

Andrew pushed past him. "Excuse me, coming through. The art of politics lies in compromise. Wisdom Angel, perhaps your Lord's radiance is strong, but I need you to understand that Lomuia Grand Cathedral doesn't have the final say in everything. Even the God of Light's radiance has its limits. Where I came from, the God of Light doesn't call the shots."

Lysander gritted his teeth, clearly about to attack. Andrew's words were a direct denial of his faith, a true act of blasphemy.

Kass shouted, "Lysander, calm down! Your impulsiveness right now won't help anything. Andrew has already become a major force. And you heard what he said. This man's beliefs completely diverge from our Lord's. His Holiness the Pope once said that the Cathedral's true enemies are only the devils in hell. This Andrew is a true devil. If you act impulsively, your fate won't be good."

Lysander deflated, releasing his clenched fists and lowering his head. "Archbishop, Andrew feels more terrifying to me by the minute. The dark aura around him is growing stronger. When the Archangel Arya arrives, we must eliminate him."

Kass murmured, "We'll see. Right now, we must withstand the assault from the vampires and the werewolves."
