"I... I didn't want to... I didn't..." the girl kept muttering.

Next to her was a body of a middle aged man in the Priest's attire that was covered in fresh blood. The exit of the alley was blocked by the other Priests.

Eren could not feel any Dragon Bloodline inside the girl appearing to be barely older than sixteen. It was clear that she was not the Sea Dragon Empress.

He could not see anything extraordinary about that girl. If anything, she felt even weaker than ordinary people of this continent as there was no blessing of goddess around her, which almost every citizen of the continent had.

Despite that, she had managed to kill the Priest blessed by the Goddess? That in itself was surprising.

Looking at the entire situation, Eren was slightly taken aback. A girl had managed to kill a priest that even many prominent warriors would find hard to.

Even more shocking was the number of priests that were blocking the alley, here to apprehend the girl.

Even though the girl had killed a priest, wasn't the number of priests present here a little overkill?

"Let's see who you really are..."

Eren raised his hand, activating identification skill. His eyes shone in a mysterious light while a screen with the woman's status appeared in front of his eyes.

Looking at the screen, Eren was shocked. However, that shock soon turned into surprise as his lips crept up, forming a smirk.

"So that's what you are... No wonder you were able to kill a Priest. What an unexpected gain..."

This was the last thing Eren had expected to find at a place like this, but now that he did, he knew he couldn't ignore it.

"Drop the knife and surrender. I promise that the Church will be merciful to you!" A middle aged Priest stepped forward, being surrounded by an aura of kindness that naturally made people look at him like a family member.

Even if it was a stranger, they could undoubtedly trust him as they were easily manipulated by the aura. However, the girl didn't appear to fall for it.

She didn't throw away the knife even though there was no way out.

"Since you are not surrendering, we could only use force. May the Goddess be merciful..." The Priest respectfully said while gesturing for other Priests to prepare to take the girl down.

....

"You found her?" In the grand palace of the city, the Duke was informed about the girl. He revealed a pleasant surprise at the information.

"To be specific, a priest found her. However, he was killed by her. The others are already at the place, surrounding her," the priest told the Archbishop who was also the Duke of the City.

"Good. Make sure you capture that girl alive. The Holy Priestess will reward us if we succeed. After all, she had been a great annoyance in her eyes," the Duke revealed with a smirk as he took a sip of his wine while looking at the distant sky.

As an Archbishop, he knew how important that girl was to the Holy Priestess. Still, he didn't make a move himself. He believed that his men could easily take down the girl who could barely kill a Priest.

After all, she wasn't strong. She did use a strange ability but in front of absolute strength and numbers, it was useless. She wasn't the Holy Priestess after all, who could take down an entire city alone.

Now that the girl was in his city, there was no escaping it.

"Finally, I might be promoted to the Cardinal..."

....

Back in the alley, the Priests had already finished their preparation to take the girl down. One of them stepped forward while being cautious against her knife, not wanting to make the same mistake as the other priest by underestimating her.

The young girl was trembling, watching the Priest come closer. She had managed to kill the previous priest because he didn't expect her to have a knife. However, the current priest knew it.

Not only did he know it but he didn't lower his guard either. Even worse was the fact that even more priests were waiting in the distance.

Even if she took that Priest down, the others were going to capture her.

Her entire body felt a chill as she thought about what could happen to her if she was caught. It was all because of that Holy Priestess!

With the Priest close to her, she had no other choice. Holding the knife in both her hands, she rushed forward to stab him.

Her attack was weak with not much strength behind it, especially since she was physically weak. It was clear that she didn't have much experience fighting, which made her previous feat of killing a priest even more impressive.

Unfortunately, her attack didn't work on the current priest who simply grabbed her wrist, stopping the knife before it could even touch her chest.

"Unfortunately for you, I am not a fool like that guy down there," the Priest exclaimed while hitting her hand, making her drop the knife.

He didn't stop there as he kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying.

The young girl crashed against the wall, groaning in pain. Her pupils trembled in fear as she watched the Priest getting closer to her.

"You have sinned against the goddess by killing a Priest. For your sins, I should kill you right here. Unfortunately, you are wanted alive."

" Only the Higher Ups can decide your punishment. However, before I take you to them, I will make sure you understand the consequences of hurting the people of the goddess!"

He grabbed the finger of the woman. "Let's break all those fingers that you used to hold that knife!"

"I'm sorry, but I can't allow you to do that."

The Priest grabbed the woman's fingers firmly, almost prepared to rip them apart when he heard a voice coming from behind him.
