After hearing what happened in the Dungeon it took me a while to calm down, but after thinking about the rules of this island and everything that happened, I already knew how to handle this situation.
Just to be sure what I was going to do, I reread the entire notebook that Alvin gave me yesterday when we arrived, after that, I'll accompany my Familiars with Nix's execution who asked to continue in the Dragon Temple with her friend.
I hang out with my other Familiars, Barok, Hela, Freya, Jade, Vanessa, Athena, and Ivan.
The strongest people in the Dungeon were gathered and going to the Temple of Law with me, of course, there were still more people inside the Dungeon strong and Nix, but I don't need to show everything I have, I just need them to realize that there are more people with me than they've seen so far, so I called Barok and Jade from inside the Dungeon.
I explained to everyone what I was going to do before leaving and asked the rest to stay at home, I already had my doubts about bringing Layla who was training inside the Dungeon for the last few weeks, but I warned her to be quiet this time, I stayed surprised that she listened without saying anything, I think she realized I was serious this time.

Pov High Priest of the Law:
I'm a few days in this place, like the other Religions, we change our people who are in charge here once a year, this time I was selected to take care of our young hopes for the future.
This island is an excellent place of training, so all the High Priests of all religions leave the young people to make their own decisions most of the time, this is because it serves to train their mindsets.
For us it is even worse, Priests with great talent are able to perceive and see the crime of people, for those young people this can be a problem to control themselves when they see criminals, it is not always possible to act quickly, knowing how to deal with each situation with adaptation is the best answer we can have against criminals.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"High Priest Alfred, a group of Priests have returned with many wounded and some dead."
"What happened?" (I)
"After talking to them..."
----------
Sigh
The recklessness of youth, I spent a few minutes listening to the reports of the Priest tending to the wounded, I don't care about lies, our Priests have a commitment to the truth, and none of them would lie or try to twist the truth in their favor, so I know that that report must be very close to what happened.
I feel a headache coming on, just like all the other High Priests of the other religions, I'm on the lookout for any abnormal Auras on the island, that's why it caught my attention when so many abnormal Auras coming together.
For me it was even more glaring to realize the heavy Aura of crime that had in this group, I didn't expect to see something like this in a group with this strength, I could see that the strongest were only in the Lower Catastrophe thanks.
Maybe that was the problem, the newer Priests weren't able to pass up this level of criminals with a comparable level of strength, and that was their mistake.
"Still young, they must learn to gather information about their capture targets, resorting directly to an attack relying on numbers alone is a reckless thing to do." (I)
Sigh
The deaths of so many of our Priests is sad, moreover, they failed completely, not even one of the targets was captured or killed, these Priests died for nothing.
"High Priest Alfred, we have another problem."
"Who died this time?" (I)
"No one but that Vampire leading the group we attacked in the Dungeon is coming here along with a lot of people from the Lower Catastrophe Grade."
There are many people on this island who have committed crimes, unfortunately, we are not able to go after them all, but this time I can feel this group coming towards us.
"They should arrive in a few minutes, I find it difficult to enter with good intentions considering the murderous intent I feel from one of the Auras." (I)
-----------
In a few minutes, they arrive in front of the Temple of the Law, their aggression towards us can clearly be felt from their Auras, but they did not approach any more, in addition, one of old Cyrion's Servants appeared mounted on a cloud and landed near the group of men Vampire.
I leave the Temple of the Law and go to this Vampire, he looks young, but his Aura is something bizarre to me, I have never felt anything so disgusting before, a mixture of contradictory things that makes me confused just to see.
"I am High Priest Alfred, to what do I owe your visit?" (I)
"Good afternoon, Mr. Alvin." (I)
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Good afternoon, good to see you again, lord High Priest Alfred." (Alvin)
"I'll cut to the chase, I don't like your Temple and I don't want to deal with your Priests again." (Zenos)
This Vampire is someone I know the name, he's being wanted by the Church of Light, and his name was registered in the criminal information we have.
"You have a lot of nerve to come here, child." (I)
"You attacked my children and Familiar, so don't expect any respect from me, I don't care about your religion or your strength to have any inclination to respect you." (Zenos)
He's keeping a calm expression and normal voice, but his words are acid, plus his fury and murderous intent is very visible to me, I'm surprised he's able to contain himself like that.
"I came here to propose a deal, you have two options." (Zenos)
"The first option is to order the other Priests of your religion to stay away from us." (Zenos)
"The second option will be for me to kill all the Priests of your Religion that I find in the Dungeon." (Zenos)
"..." (I)
He is more dangerous than I thought, his plan may seem all and naive but the rules of this island are in his favor in this case, he can massacre our Priests inside the Dungeons, and he has found a way to do what he wants in this situation already that I can only send people at the same level of strength after him.
I could ask the Priests to leave since I would be banning their training, that would be a difficult thing.
Just looking at it I know he would dare to do that, his fury is pretty apparent for me to see and I'm sure he didn't just start a riot because of me, other than the rules of this island.
"Alright, we..." (I)
