Chapter 1326: The Weak [2400 GT Bonus]

[This could have been a castle bonus chapter, but I refuse to reward my tormentors… yet… </3]

BANG!

“Do you mean to start a civil war, Gralith?!”

The voice of a woman boomed. It carried hints of delicate charm, and yet those aspects were so very muted at the current moment. Her tone deepened, her cadence darkening, and it seemed as though her throat was seething with rage and fury.

The 713th Serpent Warlord was a woman who seemed in her prime, the only sign of this not being the case being the streak of white hair in her otherwise dense black locks.

Her skin—tinted violet—and her pointed ears seemed to suggest that she descended from the same Race as her fallen youngest disciple, the first rank amongst the E-tier, Morvok Arothe.

It had hardly been a few hours since the last time the council was rocked, only for news of an F-tier leaving their number-one E-tier in a coma to spread far and wide.

The irony was that the Lineage Heads were the last to learn of this, because all of them had been gathered due to another commotion that Sylas had only just caused.

Usually, such minor matters between the youngest of their charge wouldn’t bring such a situation down. At worst, Gralith and the 713th Serpent Warlord would meet in private to hash out their disagreements. This wasn’t something that would require them all to gather.

But this was already the third time in just a few days, and somehow all of them were related to Gralith.

Back when the Leava Clan came to make their demands of the Sanctum, around the same time, Gralith’s then-youngest disciple Gwenu somehow made her way onto the Serpent Sanctum in a furious rampage.

Not only did she kill several E-tiers—and D-tiers, for that matter—she charged all the way to the core just to personally challenge Morvok. To this day, most didn’t even know the full story behind what set her off.

Because of the timing of things, the Warlords had already been meeting, and this matter obviously came up.

Then, before that noise could even fully settle down, Sylas came and started his Disputed Rite, and this time, this disciple of Gralith’s had gone as far as to kill an in-name disciple of another Warlord.

That dust hadn’t even settled before Sylas somehow triggered a visit from the Imperial Sanctum.

That much wasn’t the main issue. The real problem was how Gralith reacted afterward. He was completely infuriated. But this time, he seemed smart enough to not try and storm the temple again, and instead took a different approach.

One could imagine that an organization like the Beast Warlord Sanctum wasn’t very cohesive. There were so many Sanctums, each following a different path, and a lot of times it was like they were actually dozens of different organizations in an alliance rather than just one huge power.
