CH 60

The gaze of the great Transcendent scanned the darkened land. Ivan could feel his feeble breath in that wicked, evil place.

The blood sword Brika was trembling, noticing the former master’s existence. The fire god Kundara looked at his believer and burst into rage.

“They are preparing a ceremony. They seem to be getting a high-quality sacrifice and finish it at once.”

The red goblet, a corrupted relic that was engulfed by the energy of the demon and a descendant of Albert Hom, the blood saint who used it.

It was a very coveted offering to the demon.

It’s worth as a substitute for hundreds or thousands of common sacrifices.

Ivan said to the party, who looked at him in confusion with a firm voice.

“I guess we’ll have to go inside too.”

Then, the paladins of the Kundara Temple, who had been shouting that they would enter alone, stopped him.

“Is that all right? It’s risky. We’re prepared for it, but you have no reason to risk it.”

“I don’t like danger. No matter how urgent it is, I’m still against going into the forest recklessly. However, the situation has changed, so I must change my judgment. We have reinforcements.”

Everyone else was surprised by that.

The Sanctus Populi’s reinforcements and the troops of the Western Union Kingdom had to wait a few more days to arrive. Is there another force besides them that can help right away?

“If you want to break through the forest with enemies, you can’t use normal power. Do you have enough reinforcements?”

“Yes. It’s not just the human kingdom and Sanctus Populi that don’t want demons to appear on this earth.”

Ivan turned his head to look at Irene. Irene met his gaze and nodded slowly.

“We’re not weak enough to put everything in other people’s hands.”

Ivan’s party was here primarily because of the elf’s request. Apparently, it’s difficult for an elf to leave the forest. They are just meant to make up for it.

However, in case the fairy forest is in danger, they leave the forest to some guardians and other races who wander around the human world, but would they just watch?

They’re ready to step out whenever the situation gets serious. And that would be now.

“They are nearby. My brothers and sisters.”

Irene looked at something with a very complicated and subtle expression, as if happy or sad. She looked very upset in her expression.
