BXBX NOVEL Chapter 603 - The Human Alliance Moves II
Hou Yiwei is now under a lot of pressure because a newcomer managed to outshine him when they tried attacking the dark god with their god slaying weapon. He did not want to admit it but the woman that wielded another god slaying weapon is more proficient than him.
Given the fact that mages do not need mastery over their weapons is another reason, but Hou Yiwei does not accept that. He might lack in the pure power department, but he can attack much faster than her. He also noticed that the ever-spawning minions of the dark god did not target her much.
He also hated the fact that the Church of Light seemed to be favoring her compared to him in terms of support. He already knew how the Church of Light views the dragonkin even though they are already mixed in with human society.
"That just means that I need to work harder. All I got to do is kill that dark god with the skill that is present in this weapon. I could give it the last hit since nothing will be able to avoid my arrows. The only problem now is the mobilization. The Church of Light seemed to be halting the expedition and the dark god is acting strangely." Hou Yiwei thought as he met with his guild members once again.

"What is the meaning of halting now?! We have to attack while the wounds that it got from the previous battle has yet to fully heal. If you look at the areas that the god slaying weapon wielders hit, then it is certain that we can win." An elder dwarf stated.
"I agree with him. We might not be able to kill it, but we can make it go back to where it came from by making it feel pain. The demons would surely seal the hole that it came through." An elder gnome stated.
"We can kill it as some of the dragons will come and provide their support. They will kill the dark god with their outstanding prowess once we damage it enough. It is said that killing a dark god gives great powers." A dragonkin stated.
"Is that why those from the different continents sent aid? By aid, I mean their demigod warriors?" The Orc Chief stated as it crossed its arms.
"At this point in time, we must rely on them more since some members of this alliance does not want help from the inhuman alliance." The elder dwarf stated as he glared at the Pope of the Church of Light.
"They will surely come and attack. Our scouts have already seen them. They are not that faraway from the battle after all." The elder gnome stated.
"Then what are they doing? Why do they not want to lead?" The orc chieftain stated.
"They fear that we might attack them indiscriminately with the monsters after all. The head of the alliance is a demi human hater after all." The elder dwarf stated which made the paladins jump from their seat.
"You dare!" One of the paladins exclaimed but Pope Pristina raised her hand to tell them to stand down.
"I do not trust demons because they are the incarnation of death and destruction. Have you guys forgotten the incident thirty years ago when one of them razed an entire city?" Pope Pristina stated as she told them the bitter memories of the past where a \'demon\' rampaged.
"I do not care what happened in the past because humans are still troublesome even in the present. Some kingdoms still do not treat us dwarves as equal to you humans even though we are better at building thing than you." The elder dwarf stated as it has known of the persecution of humans before.
"I cannot excuse their behavior, but we must not let that define the future. If the dark god is not stopped now, then there is no future. If we kill the dark god ourselves then there is a great chance that all of the races gathered at this table will be recognized by everyone." Pope Pristina stated while she amplified her dignity.
The other races could only agree with her as they liked what they hear. They did not know that the Pope of the Church of Life herself does not really mean that. They wanted to kill the dark god because of another agenda that is not for humanity.
"Fools! Now that the blood of the Asmodian could no longer be collected, I might as well let you fight until you drop dead. At least vermin have some use." Pope Pristina stated as she told the leaders to go back to their stations as they will attack soon.
====
"Do you believe that two-faced bitch?" The elder dwarf asked the elder gnome and orc chieftain.
"Not really. She has a hidden agenda, and her priests barely support us unlike the other churches. She clearly only pours all her resources on the human kingdoms." The elder gnome replied.
"I agree but we must put a stop to the dark god or the whole world will perish." The orc chieftain stated.
"I already secretly contacted someone from the inhuman alliance. Our army will work with them once we reach the dark god. You guys just need to tell them not to attack them when they come. Our alliance will shatter as the humans seemed to be scheming something behind the scenes." The elder dwarf warned the two which they also agreed.
Even they do not like the human armies since most of them are from the kingdoms that persecuted demi humans. The imperial capital is no more which meant that their control over the anti-discriminatory policies is no longer in effect.
It is not that the other races are weaker, but the humans far outnumber them. If only the imperial magus returned, then order will naturally fall to him, but he could not be found. Since the Church of Life also fell then the authority of leading the alliance fell to the Church of Light which even the other races do not like.
