Bab 55: Never Meet Your Idols!

Akamana di Angra. Few knew what she looked like, yet her name echoed like a thunderclap—awing men, wowing women, and everything in between. 

At her 99-year anniversary, Akamana defeated her father, the legendary Knight of Ahriman in single combat, ripping out his heart to become the Grand Priestess of the Angra Theocracy. 

She then deified her late brother and mother, causing the leaders of the six other theocracies, the strongest of whom had reached the sixth level of the Golden Palace, to unite to take her down. They were slaughtered to the last man, causing a sharp decline in their factions' strengths, and the start of the Angra Theocracy's tyrannical dominion. 

Nine hundred years later, the Angra Theocracy had expanded to cover two-thirds of the continent, a gigantic empire connected through arrays of teleportation portals, with eccentric norms and extraordinary wealth supported by an invincible army.
