Chapter 10: The Purge Templars

> "Judgment walks on two feet — and one sword."

The wind carried dust and doom.
On the third day of their travels, Rael and his team crossed the village of Lurosh, only to find it burned — not by fire, but by purifying magic.
Rael examined the ashes. "Holy scorch marks. This was done by Templars."
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
> "So the false healer arrives."
Standing across the field were two Purge Templars, cloaked in gold runes. Their leader's name was Sister Nira, a knight with golden eyes and no mercy.
"You use corrupted spells," she said. "Your death will cleanse this land."
Rael stepped forward.
"I heal the broken. You destroy them."
Nira raised her blade, glowing with judgment fire.
> 🔥 Templar Art: Light Execution Slash!
✨ Rael: Reflect Ward Barrier!
Their spells collided, bursting in midair. Lyra cast a relic beam, while Kain unleashed Decay Mist, which shocked the Templars — they had never seen death energy used to heal.
Rael lunged forward, chaining a new spell:
> 🔆 Sanctified Counter — Reverse Cleanse!
He caught Nira's blade, redirected it — and shattered her shield.
"You… you're no ordinary healer," she whispered.
"I'm a broken one," Rael replied. "Which makes me dangerous."
