Chapter 282: The Temple Doors Open

 "How?" one of them whispered, breaking the eerie silence that had fallen over the group.

"How did he die without any of us noticing a thing?" another tremple voice echoed.

They knew that when he employed that skill, he became vulnerable, and they always ensured he was not left alone.

How could he have died?!

"Ranks, form up!" bellowed a voice, commanding and cutting through the din of unrest.
