Chapter 192 - 192: 142
A trickle of sweat could not help but form on Van's face as he heard Skylar's words He was sure of it, the blue-haired wo at him
But no, that should be i but anow had already happened; with that thought surfacing in Van's mind, he started to calm down
But then, his eyes wandered off towards the woain
"!!!"
Van could not help but slightly back away There was noat hiht in the eyes, and remained so for a few seconds
"Can you…" With his curiosity and confusion reaching its peak, Van could only gulp nervously before taking a step forward towards Skylar, "see me?"
"I--"
Alas, before the woman called Skylar could open her mouth, she was turned into sain changed Froht to a room that was only dimly lit by the candles that littered the walls
Mike was still standing along with other enhanced humans, but this time, they were neatly for out from their mouths
"This…" Van then squinted his eyes as he sahat see tube, inserted into their arer see There seeh it
"Is it blood?" Van could not help but mutter And as if in response to his question, a voice answered
"The blood you have extracted is working well, Master Hearst"
"!!!"
Hearst!? Van quickly turned around to see who the owner of the voice was, but alas, it would seem that Mike's memories of this event were limited, as there was only darkness behind him
Hearst… That was Sarah's family name
Blood… Van could only think of one person-- Sarah's grandfather, Clark Hearst, the chairman of the Explorer association And of course, he won't easily forget his voice as well
So… Hearst was involved in rant ht chuckle, "And please, call me Clark"
"!!!"
Pontiff? The st the Circle!?
Although Van did not know much about the Circle, he knew at least that since he had heard it during his short stay in the Academy
"Do not be so hu Clark's words, the Pontiff seeh of his own, "I a to extract the false God's blood if we did not have your assistance in thisthat soht of this world"
Van's breaths started to get heavy as the conversation continued It would see revealed to hi another Neutral Soul to the [Fields of Punishment], it would seem that it was not in vain
False God's blood? Could it be that they have already gathered one of Hercules' kin? Or maybe someone else? What if it was the body of Hermes or the Seraph that Hercules hts, Van could not help but frown as his curiosity once again reached its peak… It would seem that he would have to visit the Circle sometime soon
"Then I shall take that praise!" Clark burst out in laughter, "Tell me, how many have we htly disappointed tone came out from Pontiff Sullivan's voice, "But once this batch is over, ill finally reach our first goal of 5000 5000 people blessed by our holy church! With this, ill show the Messiah that our decision is right…
She would have no choice but to accept us again!"
The Messiah? Van furrowed his eyebrows
"That… that is good!"
"We are creating the world she wanted, a world where everyone has the chance to fight-- a utopia where no one has to die from the monsters because they could not protect the that all of us can fight!"
The Pontiff's voice started to tre into tears "We will--!"
Before Van could finish listening in on their conversation, the scenery in front of hied
"Listen up! Sinners have escaped the Pit The most horrible of Syste and pillaging without any regard to huain back in the spacious white rooer see Cynthia and the rest of the familiar faces… as well as nue-haired man that approached Mike in jail, Ronald, was now in front of the enhanced hu out some sort of speech about Prisoners… That could be no one else but theht?
"The vilest of humanity is there, and we shall cleanse it once and for all!"
As soon as Ronald's words reached Mike's ears, he quickly stepped forward and kneeled
"Please, send ht for the Circle even if itmy life!"
"" Van then squinted his eyes as he noticed so different with the enhanced humans The ones that were here now… all had a circle mark burnt on their foreheads
"Then you shall be one of our vanguards!" Ronald then pointed towards Mike, his voice alh to make Mike almost tear up
