“You ca the entrance of an extra ould hter But Vepar didn’t know she couldn’t be the center of this stage The stage was created to make sure exactly that, and it was the same for Ru Amuh He wasn’t the main character, either He wasn’t even one of the onist The director of this play had drafted his script with a different main character in mind

However, it was now time for Vepar to be released froripped the statue in his hand tightly with a tense expression

“I…brought it…”

“You caht, you y to let the opposite half of the captives go had been right on the mark She looked completely satisfied with her oisdom Now that this dim-witted human male had come back, the matter was basically over—of course, that was if the holy relic that the huht was the real deal

It was a well-carved but weathered statue that looked lacking in some way But its appearance was only secondary Vepar closed her eyes and stretched out her ar all her senses toward the relic A holy relic represented a God, and as its na No matter how artistic it appeared, if it didn’t have any divinity, it was nothing more than a pretty craftwork On the opposite note, if a stone rolling on the street possessed divinity, its value skyrocketed

And after studying it, Vepar noted, “It’s there!” She opened her eyes widely as she sensed the divinity fronificant, itthe state of this World and the fact that the ite on to their existence, it would’ve beenwith divinity

The divinity Vepar felt sealed the deal And although it was only slight, she also felt traces of a God lingering As divinity was no co around, from that point, all suspicions and doubts she had had evaporated Her careful eyes soon turned red with greed and desire

“I…kept the promise So…” Ru Amuh’s voice trembled

“Oh, yes” Vepar’s lips curled into a saze shi+fted to the rest of the captives

“Disappointment, realization of how in vain one’s effort is…I love despairing feelings like that,” Vepar said with arit his teeth “But you don’t have to worry I won’t kill you, at least not for now And I’ your contribution, and your face is also” Vepar didn’t hter Ru Amuh was very, very handso a God and a slave that h she didn’t hold the holy relic in her hands yet, it was basically hers Because—

“What?” Ru A lost His eyes darted around, stunned that the nagas had surrounded hiap in no tih to not know that resistance is futile?” Vepar said leisurely She was telling hiet captured

Yet, in response—Sling! Ru A it around He ran away like he couldn’t accept the situation as it was

“…Well, I suppose you could do that, you di “Don’t kill him, but capture him unharmed”

Their opponent was a huone to chase after hi machines who had lived their whole lives on the battlefield It would be weirder if they failed to capture hiht, but what happened next made her eyes widen

“H his sword, the heads of the nagas following hih the thick armor and scales and displayed splendid swordsmanshi+p and movements It was unexpected, but not completely out of expectations Vepar are that not all hu It was hu a time when a man named Salem Philip lived, demons had lived as slaves to hureat warrior of a secret religion” Vepar clicked her tongue “What are you all doing? Bring a troop or two if it’s necessary, but take hias increased their offensive However, they still failed to capture Ru Aht they would be able to capture the hu swept aith Ru Amuh in the center

“Those pathetic fools” Vepar snorted She realized that the huht, but she still had no doubt that she had the situation under control After all, this was her territory
