As Gabriel received the answer, he was quite pleased. It meant that Izen wasn't willing to take the risk. He wasn't a hundred percent sure which helped him about a lot of troubles.
"In that case, I advise you to stop wasting our time with these rumors and leave."
Gabriel took a few steps back, still facing Izen to not reveal his hands. The Head Priests and Avilia were already inside the Church of Light and the doors of the Church started closing once again. Since Izen wasn't confident either, the Head Priests didn't take his words seriously. They trusted their Holy Grimoire's selection after all.
Even as the door started closing, Izen's eyes remained focused on Gabriel. He didn't take his eyes off until the door completely closed. As time passed, his feeling about Gabriel being a dark mage only got stronger. However, he actually had many doubts that made him think that there was a good chance about him being wrong.
