Chapter 039: Shura

But so far, the Sanctuary was completely calm.

This meant that nothing major had happened, whether in the human world or the Sanctuary.

More importantly, the Gold Saints were also safe, which made Milo even more relieved, after all, the Saints were born to protect Athena.

If Athena's reincarnation died, the Saints could not have failed to notice.

In fact, whenever Athena's reincarnation died, her vast cosmos would erupt and then slowly fade away; every Saint of Athena could sense this.

So Milo knew very well that Athena was not in danger yet and was still living healthily in the human world.

Therefore, she was not in such a hurry anymore.

Wang Bo couldn't help but roll his eyes. This woman was way too pragmatic.

"So, what do you plan to do now?"

"Originally, I wanted to go directly to Earth, find Athena, and bring her back to confront that bastard Saga. But now, let's wait a bit."

Wang Bo thought Milo's plan was okay, but when he heard her say she wanted to wait, he couldn't help asking, "Did something unexpected happen?"

Milo said, "My sudden travel must have caught the Sanctuary's attention. When I came back just now, the other Saints have already sensed my cosmos and are heading to the Scorpion Temple."

The next second, the door of the Scorpion Temple was pushed open, and a man wearing a Gold Cloth walked in.

"Milo, are you alright?"

Wang Bo recognized the man's identity when he saw the two horns on his helmet.

The Saint of the Capricorn Temple, Shura!

Among the Saints of the Twelve Temples, only a few had horns on their helmets.

Mu of the Aries Temple, Aldebaran of the Taurus Temple, and Shura of the Capricorn Temple.

But the Aries Temple was the first temple, and the Taurus Temple was the second, both too far from Scorpio. So the first to arrive was naturally Shura of Capricorn, which was not far from Scorpio. The reason he was the first was mainly that the temple before Scorpio was Libra, but the Libra Saint was Dohko, who was not in the Sanctuary at the moment.

And the temple after Scorpio was Sagittarius, but the Sagittarius Saint Aiolos was already dead. So the first to arrive, with horns on his helmet, was naturally Shura of Capricorn.

Milo waved her hand and said warmly, "I'm fine, Shura. Sorry for the trouble."

"It's nothing." Shura said calmly, a hint of confusion appearing on his face at just the right moment. "But where have you been these past few days, Milo?"

Milo did not directly answer Shura's question, instead saying, "I don't want to talk about it. Can you not ask, Shura?"

Shura looked at Milo with confusion, then nodded in agreement. "Alright, if you don't want to say, I won't force you. In any case, I'm really glad you're okay, Milo."

The reason Shura cared so much about Milo was not that he had feelings for her.

In fact, the two of them purely shared a bond as comrades.

Not long ago, Milo had suddenly vanished without a trace, leaving no sign of life or death, and the Sanctuary had investigated for a long time without finding any results.

He couldn't help but feel somewhat dejected and lost, after all, she was his comrade.

Now seeing Milo suddenly return, he was naturally somewhat encouraged.

"I'm sorry for making you worry, Shura." Milo's tone carried a hint of apology.

Shura shook his head, then his gaze shifted to Wang Bo. "You there, who are you? Why haven't I seen you in the Sanctuary?"

He could sense the cosmos within Wang Bo, and it was very close to the Sixth Sense, though in his eyes, it was insignificant.

However, there were not many Saints in the Sanctuary to begin with, and he had basically seen every Saint who could master cosmos. Only Wang Bo's face was too unfamiliar.

Moreover, he had appeared at the same time as Milo, who had been missing for a while, in the Scorpion Temple. It would be far-fetched to say the two had no connection. He seemed to be questioning Wang Bo just now, but in fact, he wanted Milo to give him an explanation.

Why had she brought an unrelated person into the hall of the Scorpion Temple?

Although the Twelve Temples were not forbidden grounds, generally, without permission, others were not allowed to set foot in them.

Wang Bo naturally did not know what Shura was thinking, so he said simply and clearly, "I am Milo's friend."

"Friend? Milo, is that true?" Shura looked at Milo with doubt. Since when could an ordinary Saint be friends with a Gold Saint?

Generally speaking, didn't ordinary Saints show utmost respect when they saw Gold Saints?

After all, they were Gold Saints, the strongest shields and guardians of the Goddess Athena.

At least in the Sanctuary, Shura had never seen such a bold Saint. The way the other looked at him, it was as if he was not an exalted Gold Saint at all.

But just an ordinary person.

Milo sighed helplessly and said, "That's right, Wang Bo is my friend, someone I met after leaving the Sanctuary. So I brought him back."

As soon as Shura heard that Milo had left the Sanctuary, he stopped paying attention to Wang Bo. "So you did leave the Sanctuary, Milo. Leaving your post at the Scorpion Temple without the Pope's permission is a serious dereliction of duty, Milo."

Compared to this, bringing a Saint into the Sanctuary was nothing at all.

After a pause, Shura couldn't help but remind her, "When you see the Pope later, you must apologize to him properly."

Hearing this, Milo couldn't help but sneer. "Apologize? To that bastard?"

Ever since she learned that the Pope was Saga and the real Pope had been killed, Milo had no goodwill left for Saga. She wished she could go up immediately and tear off that hypocrite's mask.

Now hearing Shura tell her to apologize to Saga, Milo couldn't control her temper.

If she didn't know that Shura, like herself, had been deceived by Saga, she would almost think Shura had become the Pope's lackey.

Shura remained expressionless, but his pupils involuntarily contracted several times. He didn't understand why Milo had suddenly become so hostile toward the Pope. Could her disappearance these past days be related to the Pope?

Thinking carefully, in the Sanctuary, the only one who could make a Gold Saint vanish without a trace seemed to be that all-powerful Pope.

But the question was, why would the Pope do that?

Or was there some misunderstanding?

However, Milo had already said she didn't want to talk about it, so Shura didn't feel comfortable asking further. He could only remind her, "Milo, don't speak recklessly about the Pope."

Milo said, "He is not the Pope."

Shura was stunned. Just then, the other Saints arrived one after another.
