The spiritual energy fluctuation in the air drew back the Temple Lord's attention.
He stopped smashing things, tilted his head, and smiled:
"My, you can't even guarantee your own life, yet you still have the strength to protect a cub. Should I call you kind-hearted or foolish, former Temple Lord?"
The elderly Sub-Beast didn't even spare him a glance. The Temple Lord didn't care either, covering his mouth and chuckling:
"Oh my, I completely forgot. You were robbed of the Temple Lord position by the original owner of this body. You picked him up from a slave camp, fed him, housed him, and taught him the skills of a Priest.
He swore to be loyal to you for his entire life. Yet, I only needed to whisper a few words into his ear, and he betrayed you~. Do you know, right before he was completely swallowed by me, he kept calling out 'Teacher, save me'. Tsk tsk, how truly pitiful~"
