Chapter 161 (2/2)

“Well, I mean he wouldn’t have exposed the te captured, not only did Ruana expose the temple but also demanded that I hand the holy relic over to save the companions captured by the monster alliance There’s a limit to how brashly one can act”

“I see I suppose the re members told you to do as the traitor said, but you couldn’t accept it and come to me instead”

“Yes I couldn’t abandon the companions here, either”

“Kuh I suppose you really are the great warrior of your group”

Vepar thought she got the general sense of the situation She thought Ru Amuh was no different fro with it Everything this human male said fit so far… The situation matched his explanation If it was as he said, the oal—if it wasn’t for this foolish hureediness had made him blind

“Haha, hahahaha” Vepar’s shoulders shook as she laughed In a norreat devil could not face a God, but Liber was different Liber’s one mad, and Liber’s World had disappeared As a result, countless Gods eakened and turned into mere ornaments

However, since a God was still a God, the value of their utilization was endless, especially in a world like this How could she not be glad that such a useful tool had rolled right into her hands? Vepar intuitively felt that depending on how she took advantage of this situation, she could not only win this war but alsofor a good while, Vepar said softly, “All right…” She could never let the monster alliance secure the God, and instead, she needed to secure the God for herself She needed to accept this deal at all costs

“It’s si a deal was to make sure she didn’t see me the holy relic, I will open up a path for you and your coet out of here”

“No” Ru Aht”

“What did you say? You want to talk about price?”

“I’ve coh, the only loss the De to be taken in as slaves

Vepar replied, “That’s your position You can only barter for a better price when you’re on equal footing with the other party”

“Please release my comrades first and showthe holy relic to a place that only I know”

“You’re very greedy What if I don’t accept your condition?”

“Then we’re all going to die together” Ru Amuh closed his eyes as if he would never back down from his condition

Vepar’s eyes narrowed Just the fact that he came here alone was proof that he had prepared to die It seemed that he was also certain she would accept the deal no matter what However, this didn’t matter, since huainst hiht about the reason why he was showing so e…

“You…” Vepar was about to say so, but stopped and looked over at the captured hule? What if there was a faroup? Then itso persistent and stubborn Even if he died, he o first

“You leave ht not come back”

“About that…”

“So let’s do this” Vepar continued as if she was being generous, “I’ll send away half of your comrades first Of course, I’ll let you check if they have left safely”

“What?”

“Divide theas exactly divided the prisoners in half “Choose one—the left, or the right” Looking at Ru Amuh, as visibly taken aback, Vepar asked, “Which one will you send out first?”

Ru Amuh’s eyes dropped It was a sudden question This was probably the final compromise that Vepar set for herself If he refused even this, the deal that he had barely h Thus, even if it was disappointing that he could only free half of the eighth recruits, he needed to accept this final coulped a few tiht side away first”

“Is that so? Vepar smiled inwardly Ru Amuh’s stubbornness had broken in an instant There could only be one reason why he immediately took the bait—the hu the group on the right Vepar sroup and send out those on the left first”

Ru Aed my mind” Vepar checked his reaction and chuckled “Didn’t I listen to your request anyway? Don’t worry too much, since I’ll make sure to fulfill your condition Follow roup of people on the left had left safely “Is this good enough?” When they looked as sinal spot and said, “I kept my promise, so it’s now your turn to keep your promise”

Ru Amuh was extreroup away rather than the group with the hu his life And like this, Vepar was sure that Ru Amuh would have no choice but to return with the holy relic

“How long will it take you to bring it?”

“…It won’t take long”

“Good If you gave ain after killing a couple huet it and come back at once,” Vepar said leisurely “It would be better for you to bring the holy relic as fast as possible because I really hate waiting If you et et to append her words with threats

“…I understand…” In the end, Ru A his own helplessness Upon his return to the base where the other recruits were, Ru A for hio?”

He was immediately bombarded with questions “I saved half of the recruits”

“Half?”

“Yes, more than that would be difficult”

“What about Mariaju?”

“She’s probably outside the city about now” Ru Amuh smiled softly “The demon suddenly split half of the prisoners and told roup that she wasn’t in And as expected, the deo”

The one as tricked wasn’t actually Ru Amuh, but Vepar At Ru Amuh’s words, Eustitia looked subtly relieved, while Afrilith showed it openly

Afrilith said, “I’e that she would make a compromise so easily,” Ru A at hiht

Then Afrilith said, “But I don’t knoe can trust her Sheteam…”

“While we’re on that topic, would you be able to perhaps send out a e? I have Mariaju on my contact list as e, telling theht away as well”

“I got it”

Ru Amuh did that quickly and looked around “By the way, did the object arrive?”

“Well, I retrieved it while Ru was drawing attention” Ismile from the Nahla family stepped forward There was a statue in his hand—it was the statue found in the chaos teave it to me secretly, but I’m not sure if this ork” Ismile shook the statue with a dubious expression The water inside swished around and e to you What was it? I alreadylike that? Do you knohat that means?”

“No, I don’t”

“…Can we really trust this guy?”

“Of course Please pass that to me” Ru Amuh spoke without an ounce of doubt on his face and took the statue Isuarantee that everything would go well No matter hoell he prepared, there were tiardless However, Chi-Woo was someone who could see several steps ahead Ru Amuh was certain that this statue his teacher had made would work and be extremely useful Thus, Ru Amuh believed in Chi-Woo; he had no doubts that soly is around, and that this situation would also go the way Chi-Woo wanted—as it already did ht now Please take care of the rest” With these parting words, Ru A his way to the deht He was certain that everything would coht And if he successfully finished this task, he would be acknowledged and be able to stand next to his teacher for the first tisword that his teacher gave hihtly clutched the weathered sword aht
