The plan was to use the guy's pride draw out the Holy Knights of the Archbishop to the wastelands. While the Holy knights are preoccupied out in the wastelands, the rest of the party and the saint's faction would rebel against the Archbishop.This arc turned into irredeemable garbage the moment he left him behind in the cathedral without finishing him off. This doesn't make any sense whatsoever, why would he spare his life only to try to take it away the next day? This MC isn't supposed to be prideful and arrogant, so there's literally no reason for it. I'd say the MC is a cretin, but he's supposed to be fairly intelligent in the manga, so I suppose the cretin has to be the author.
the reason was to show him despair, making him understand the error that he has made. But given that he's gonna die there anyway, I don't see a reason why he should learn that fact. I would hope that a teacher personality isn't so low as to beat a dead horse just to make himself feel betterThis arc turned into irredeemable garbage the moment he left him behind in the cathedral without finishing him off.

That was part of it, but the biggest reason was so that he could take down Dolgar and the Cathedral. Think about it, if they just found Veig dead they would obviously know that an attack was imminent. Dolgar could have rallied his defenses and caused more casualties in the invasion, he could have destroyed evidence, he could have escaped. By challenging Veig to a duel, Sirius knew Dolgar would split off his forces at least a bit so they could take down whoever beat Veig the first time and keep Veig from getting killed in the duel. That's why he told the believers to invade while he fought off Veig, so Dolgar would try to save Veig thus weakening his defense.the reason was to show him despair, making him understand the error that he has made.
