Wizard Alpert wouldn't have expected it, even at the brink of death. Ten advanced sacred knights could easily overpower him even under the protection of the legendary armor. Even though he was an advanced wizard, he did not possess the power to resist. His neck was cut in half, and his blood gushed and flowed to the floor tiles, darkening the atmosphere in the temple.
A soul light rose from Wizard Alpert's corpse. Even when the temple was in the way, an essence rose from the temple and straight towards the sky.
Knight Kirk shook the blood off his blade, "This was a good sign today, your Majesty! Wizard Alpert's death is a good beginning to what we're about to do soon!"
Strangely, only he, Emperor Harvey, and the other advanced sacred knights were smiling at this. The other knights all had very concerned looks on their faces. The soul light was probably for all the neighboring towns and cities to see.
