Zara's whole body shook with anger, but she didn't say anything. Her silence was scarier than any scream.
At last, the Archon looked at Liora. "Oh, the High Priestess."
"What a disciple you are for the gods, but that only makes you look like a fucking mutt to your gods."
"Where were they when Zork fell? Where was your divine help when corruption hit?"
"Did your gods care so little to save him? Or my words were correct that you and all of your priestesses are nothing but mutts..."
Even though her hands were clenched at her sides, Liora's face stayed calm. "Archon, your words are just noise."
"The noise that was made to annoy and take your mind off things."
"We can see through your tricks."
"Oh... do you?" The Archon's voice changed to a humorous one. "Then let me be clear."
"This fight doesn't matter."
"What will you have done if you three can destroy this corrupt shell? You will have killed a Demon King who was already dead."
