Chapter 563 - Is it Really God’s Punishment? (2/2)

Retracting the World Impaler, Elovan asked with a gesture, How is it?

Ariel shook her head. I can’t find him, but I can feel he’s less than 2000 feet away!

Beside her, Katyusha pursed her lips with some disdain. She wouldn’t say anything though. Gesturing, she asked, What do we do now?

The opponent was putting runes in the air around the merchant caravan. Clearly, they were getting ready to fight. Since Ariel couldn’t find where the opponent was, there was no reason for them to stay here now.

Ariel was silent for two seconds. As soon as she was about to speak, the situation changed.

There was a soft sound in the air around the merchant caravan. Then the strangeness in the air disappeared. Other than the whistling wind and the merchants’ prayers, the plains grew abnormally quiet.

He finished the magic seal.

He’s going to attack!

But does he know where we are?

The six gestured speedily, trying to find a solution.

The seconds ticked by, but they couldn’t reach an agreement. Ariel finally couldn’t take it anymore and said out loud, “Stop arguing. This Magician is powerful. He knows where we are! Get ready!”

Everyone flinched and then got into defense mode, waiting for the hidden enemy to attack.

But what happened after that was unexpected.

Near the caravan, a pillar of silver light, like moonlight, appeared. It was more than 15 feet in width, and so tall one couldn’t see the tip. More terrifying was that it didn’t rush up from the ground—it descended from the sky.

It was as if a hole opened up in the boundless void and watery light flowed out to somewhere on the plains.

Seeing this, the merchants were shocked. A moment later, they fell into ecstasy.

Shallie excitedly cried, “There really is a god of moonlight. He responded!”

“We’ll be saved!”

Mercenary leader Miro sighed deeply. He’d been on one knee earlier, but now, he knelt fully. Placing his hands on the ground, he murmured inwardly, God, you saved me once again. From now on, I will be your most loyal slave. I am your sword, and your will is my glory!

On the other hand, Ariel’s group all gulped, shivering.

This power was too pure and subtle. Other than the silver glow, no aura seeped from the pillar of light. Right now, the six felt that this beam was so obvious, but it seemed to exist in another realm. They could only see it without sensing it.

“F*ck. Is this really god’s punishment?” The fallen angel gaped at the brilliant silver moonlight. He could feel his hands shaking. His newly-recovered wound was hurting again.

Ariel didn’t know either. She just swallowed subconsciously. It was as if she’d angered some horrible existence today. Before she could speak, she heard Katyusha say, “What if we retreat?”

She could tell from the sight that they weren’t a match.

As a servant of the God of Destruction, Katyusha had some knowledge about divine punishment. The God of Destruction had used the same method to pour power into a sacrifice or a messenger’s body.

In that case, there was probably a god’s messenger nearby. This nameless god had poured his power into him.

From the look of things, there would probably be a terrifying god’s messenger coming after them in a while. If they didn’t escape now, they would have no chance later.

“But we’re six people. There’s probably just one god’s messenger. Maybe we have a chance?” Storm Warlord Parmese wasn’t satisfied.

But just then, Ariel felt something was wrong. The scene looked scary, but it just didn’t feel right.

Like…a god’s punishment shouldn’t be like this.

She didn’t feel the danger of being in a hopeless situation. As a Magician, gut instinct was important, but she didn’t feel the relative danger… What did this mean?

A thought popped up in her mind. What if this is a farce to divert our attention?
