Chapter 153 (2/2)

“Everyone get down!”

Bam!

The wall exploded

The stillness of the afterhs

“dae of their cannons too?” Hodaround They weren’t outside The fact that the cannons had been shot right in front of the Demon Empire’s territory meant the monsters were prepared for an all-out war It wasn’t ti around here like this

“Hey! Is everyone—?” However, Hodamaru blinked in puzzlement when he turned around There were those who fell or fell over, but no one looked dead, or even injured

Ru As with a shocked expression and suddenly looked up A spherical, half-transparent barrier was surrounding them

Ru Amuh softly muttered, “…A shi+eld?”

“What the hell? Was there a ot up and fixed her scattered hair This didn’t e, there was no hero a shi+eld to cover all of them

—hello, can you hearin Ru Amuh’s ears

—If you’re here to help us, identify yourselves Shohich recruiters

Ru Amuh was startled, but even then, he raised his thuer with his left hand and opened up all his fingers on his right hand

—Fifty-second recruits? Wait, that can’t be right Ah, it must be twenty-fifth recruits Is it twenty-fifth?

Ru Amuh frowned He had no idea here, and how they were delivering theseto find out who they were Ru Amuh shook his head and showed ‘2’ and ‘5’ in turn with the sauess you can at least understand me Seventh recruits I’ve confirotten his point across

—I’ to say this once, so listen carefully If you run straight froest building around here Go in there for now

—Inside, you’ll see stairs, but don’t go up Instead, take the passage to your left and keep running You’ll then see a warehouse at the end of the hall Get in there Come on, quickly!

The speaker spoke extre they wanted to say and hurried him on, and then one-sidedly cut off the conversation in a hurry However, Ru Amuh could clearly feel the shi+eld around them quickly and quietly disappear

“Everyone, this way!” With the rough directions in ht as he was instructed to, he saw a towering building He i to the left and found a weathered door at the end When he opened it and went in—

“Hurry up, hurry up!” One person was holding up the iron door fro towards them Ru Amuh and the detachment jumped down as quickly as possible There weren't any stairs or ladders

Thud! They landed on the ground Ru Amuh stood still for now and turned around All his tea in, and as soon as they came down, they surrounded the detachment members After a while—

Bam! The iron door closed with a thud A deep darkness filled the aisle Soon after—Tap! Crackkle! They heard the sound of soers, and at the same, the torches on the walls lit up

Clank-Clank— So towards the theure stopped before Ru A her arms as she looked at them

“Hmm” She tilted her head as if she wasn’t pleased with so down her shoulders reflecting the torch light Then, she said, “This is all?” Her thin voice rang in the basement

The door autoe about the place Unlike the outside, the interior was quite neat; it looked as if soot the sa freshly prepared brunch and stea coffee on the table, but once he looked around, there was no one at ho, there was chaos

Philip beganat a plank on the wall of the aisle

—Good breeds evil, and evil breeds good Good cannot be purely good, and evil cannot be purely evil Therefore, good is evil, and evil is good It’s not good or evil, but both good and evil That is real chaos…

—Hmm, it doesn’t sound completely ancient…

Philip, as soans orshi+ped demons, tilted his head Chi-Woo was about to ask what kind of nonsense Philip just read out, but decided to first chase after the girl The girl was ency

Tap, tap, tap She walked briskly before starting running, stopping only once she reached what looked like the center hall of the building Following her footsteps, Chi-Woo cairl’s lips tree She had looked very excited a o, but suddenly, she looked extre like that and saw a stone statue on the altar Its posture was strange It looked as if the statue was raising its upper body and was supposed to be touching someone’s forehead and hands However, there was no other statue It was akin to seeing the statue of Virgin Mary eirl knelt down on the altar like a ently pressed both of her palms on the statue’s palms and placed her forehead on the statue’s forehead “A…” As if she had been reunited with a fa tihtly held onto the statue’s hands and cried

Chi-Woo was lost for words He couldn’t irl; they fit perfectly together, as if they had finally found their other half

—…Hey

Philip, atching the sobbing girl, spoke up in a perplexed voice, which was unusual for hi unbelievable…?
