Spencer looked at the Ice Crystals summoned by Benjamin, eyes shining as a curious expression took over his face. However, he didn’t retreat despite the show of power.
"Sir Benjamin, I think that there is no need for you to possess such hostility towards us. If I remember correctly, none of the mages subscribe to a religion. Your existence and ours do not go against each other. Only an organization like the Church of Holy Light would be our enemies."
"So what?" spat Benjamin coldly, "As if trespassing into Carretas and messing up Gealorre wasn’t enough, you had the nerve to spike my alcohol. Did you think I would be so oblivious?"
Even if there was no direct conflict of interest, unknown religions and mages have always clashed. Be it a church, or the An-something-Hu Religion previously, mages who wielded supernatural abilities like gods were always a big obstacle in the process of the spreading of religion.
