Chapter 193: I Beat People With Depression (4)
3rd Person POV
"Alright, there's no one in the cathedral, to think that I was the cause of the eastern church's bombardment." Orion said as he took a deep breath and readied his bow
Orion is currently charging his arrow with a lot of mana from a clock tower far away where no one can see him. His siblings caused distractions outside the cathedral and caused mayhem on the inside as well, they're not allowed to kill, but as their assignment went on, they realized the event that they were carrying out seems to be oddly similar to something they've studied before, well, they were from the future, so it made sense.
An unsolved mystery that has had no culprit for so long only for the culprits to be them all along, apparently, all the suspects are very smart individuals, smarter than they are because no one can hide their trace for so long.
Orion released his charged-up arrow and exploded into many different smaller arrows once it arrived above the cathedral, it divided up several more times before it crash-landed and blew the whole cathedral up, each arrow exploded upon contact, and the cathedral, despite having enchanted walls, started to crumble down.
Orion shoots several more arrows and all of the explosive arrows brought the whole building to the ground, it was then time to escape and go back.
*****
Cassius was watching the tournament at Tehios and all of a sudden, he overheard a mass of prayers begging him to help, and by the time he teleported to the eastern continent, his cathedral was brought down entirely.
No deaths and no one was seen acting suspiciously near the cathedral, the culprits made a quick escape during the moment on whether he should ignore the mass hysteria or come help his believers. No one was inside when it happened and there are no deaths, only injuries, which means that this was a message.
What kind of message are the culprits sending? And why was his cathedral the one that was receiving it?

Perseus POV
"Ok, this is weird, I'm not used to being cornered by 3 women."
Currently, in front of me is Lilith and the purple rose duo, it seems that both sides don't get along, particularly, Lilith and Amethyst the purple rose, I know siblings fight, but these 2 are on the verge of killing each other, Roxa is there separating them.
"If you try to flirt with these 2, I'll kill you." Lilith warned
"Not planning to, I already have enough women in my life, the only males in my life are my brother, my fox, and my grandfathers."
"What about that androgynous-looking boy?"
"He might no longer be my friend after the match just now."
"I was only planning on greeting my fellow lord, I have no plans on flirting with him." Roxa replied "Besides, I'm into women."
"Oh, me too, we have that in common, we should hang out sometimes. Ow!" Lilith then pinched me after my joke.
"Well, he's special alright." Amethyst commented as she inspected me further "He's physically strong, his muscles are very well toned, and his muscles stretch wonderfully causing unbelievable flexibility and need strength, he's got everything a person need to win a fight."
Right, Amethyst is known to be what Leilah and Ruka called a 'body perfectionist', she likes to observe people's bodies and to see whether their physical assets fit their occupation, a weird hobby, I know, but nothing about their family is good.
Each rose has different power, and the purple rose, is a bit weird, it's simply confidence, the more confident they are in themselves, the stronger they are, Lilith has mentioned that the purple rose, once upon a time, was on par with Rowan, but they can only amplify their magic.
Rowan is pure strength and defense, close combat, and perfect power for a brute or a swordsman like Reiner, and if the spell is for close combat, the red rose powers apply as well since the red rose can apply to both the physical and magical attribute, but as time went on, as they get used to their powers, Rowan turned out to be the second strongest.
Too bad the white rose stayed back at the demon kingdom, I kinda want to meet them and gauge their strength.
"Why is he so quiet?" Roxa asked
"Hmm, so your powers work based on confidence, but it can also backfire because you're the only one whose power can actually make you weaker than how you should be, I'm like a bane to your existence."
"Right, what can you even do?" Amethyst asked in a slightly mocking tone "Do you think I haven't faced people who have shouted at me with obscenities and done things to try and lower my confidence?"
"Trust me, I can get you to lower your guard."
"Alright, if you can even make me question my existence for more than 10 seconds, I will literally grovel and ask for Lilith's forgiveness for all the things I said about her behind her back."
"Are you sure you won't regret that decision? I am very good at beating people with depression because to beat depression, you have to become depressed, and sometimes, even my therapist gets concerned."
"So you're one of those guys who's all bark, no bite, stop talking about useless things and get on with it." Amethyst replied with a smirk
"Your parents have divorced."
"Right...What do my parents look like then? Leilah and Ruka may have told you their name, but I'm sure they haven't told you what they look like." she said in a confident tone
I then described what both of her parents look like down to the dot as her smile slowly crept away from her face while mine just got brighter.
"And I've slept with your mother."
