Discovery was Ethan's first thought, followed immediately by the appearance of the Blasphemous Spear in his hand.
Having heard King's introduction to the Serpent Eye Cult, he knew that once discovered, a battle was inevitable.
"Lana, take Daphne and go in first, I'll follow shortly."
As soon as Ethan uttered these words, he spun around like a dragon, his spear thrusting straight for the high priest's forehead.
Lana Mokos hesitated for only a moment before quickly grabbing Daphne's hand and heading inside.
King stood by, frozen in place.
Ethan had instructed Lana Mokos to take the others and go, but he hadn't mentioned King.
Just as the Blasphemous Spear was about to pierce the high priest's forehead, tentacles from beneath the priest's neck coiled around the spear.
Ethan, seeing his spear grasped by flesh and blood, was filled with shock.
Even a Demi-god would not be able to catch the spear's tip with their hand.
