Twilight was approaching the holy land. Each temple was preparing to close as the believers had finished their pilgrimages. Although for temples like the Night Temple and the Moon Temple, the main activities were just about to begin, worshippers rarely came at night unless it was a festival day. Around this time, a surprising battle was about to take place a short distance from the Harold Temple. It was a fight between warrior priests. One was a man forced to live a long life due to the blood of his father, Ashlan, and the other had chosen to become a fairy. Their ways of life were in stark contrast. Both were warrior priests, but Spade, being a fairy, had various restrictions. Unlike other warrior priests who traveled across the country to fight, Cougar was seldom called to battle unless it was something significant. Spade and Cougar moved to the center of the grassland and faced each other. "Then, I'll go first." Spade moved first. As if to test the waters, he initiated a sword clash. Although Spade had Harold's blessing, he did not fight with full power unless his opponent was Harold. Cougar immediately held his sword with both hands, perhaps thinking he couldn't withstand Spade's sword's power with just one hand. The metallic sound of their sword blades clashing echoed around them. As soon as Cougar blocked the downward strike, Spade adjusted his blade and aimed a thrust at Cougar, who managed to dodge it. (So, he really has trained.) Spade understood this after just a brief exchange with Cougar. It seemed that someone quite skilled had taught Cougar. Cougar stepped back and created some distance. He released his left hand from the sword and clenched it. At that moment, Cougar's left arm shone, and a round shield of light appeared. "Oh!" The priests watching from the sidelines exclaimed.
