Messai was carrying the unconscious inquisitor Cheryl and proceeding toward the Hearthstone Tavern.
Her three templar subordinates were following her.
Originally, Desireless saw no other option and was planning to use his authority as an Archbishop to take away the life of that inquisitor.
After all, only the singing from the Saintess and the choir will be able to allow the inquisitor to regain her rationality.
Otherwise, the little girl would lose her rationality and become a dangerous monster.
That was no joke at all. Messai was so strong that she could easily block the punch from a Cave Giant, a race that prided themselves in strength.
But, even with that, Messai cannot take down the little girl with brute force.
Take the description from one of Messai's subordinate, 'it was like being charged by a hammerhead dragon running at full speed.'
