Through the gates, Rein peered inside to assess the situation and quickly took in everything within the hall.
At the same time, he realized that it must have been his earlier roar that had alerted the enemies within the church!
Though his initial move had the setback of alarming the enemies, it also had the advantage of letting him know the situation within the church beforehand.
The strange ritual and the tendrils of dark mist made Rein highly wary.
Moreover, he noticed that the dense crowd of townsfolk inside the church hall couldn't hold out much longer.
Because Rein saw very clearly that those townspeople near the prayer altar had all collapsed, their condition unknown.
And as wisps of dark mist, alive like creatures, continued to spread around, even more townspeople began to fall.
After carefully counting the number of enemies in the hall, Rein was shocked.
"Two Black Flame monks and seven or eight Squires?"
This was a strong force indeed...
