——Given the nature of that Pillar God, no matter where they run, the army will probably catch up with them.
After all, as Sherlock, he had to escape with Princess Isabel.
Since the essential mission was to escort Isabel, it meant they were bound to encounter danger. It could even be the greatest danger.
But with Grand Adjudicator Shafiya following, how could they possibly encounter danger? And if Aiwass were to go along with them, it's possible he'd bring the Guardian Spirit with him... If a group of this scale could encounter danger, then there was only one possibility the Counselor could think of.
That would be if those two Chancellors took action. Or there could be several Fifth Power Level Transcendents arriving with the army.
Otherwise, it just didn't make sense.
For this very reason, he had initially wanted to kill Isabel. In doing so, he would be freed from the shackles of playing "Sherlock" and would no longer have to fulfill his duty or take risks with Isabel.
