Chapter 548: Blood Temple

Chapter 548: Blood Temple

After talking to the Gray Elf Loureno, I told him to come along since I was the reason he came, during our conversation I felt the respect and admiration he had in his eyes when he looked at Freya, I think if it wasn't for the Queen Viviane in the room he would have kneeled in front of Freya.

I don't mind him coming and knowing the secret of the Dungeon as the Elves have been good friends to me, besides they need my help to fix their problems with the World Tree.

The secret of the Dungeon is of little importance as no one can do anything about it even if they know the truth, I just want to keep it a secret so as not to scare people as I know very well how terrifying the idea of having someone with a Dungeon can be. mobile in and out of cities with ease.

After another day of gathering information about this Capitol full of undead, I do a roundup for wheels before heading to a place with Vanessa.

"I don't think we should go now, we can wait until after the rescue." (I)

"Father, you should take this opportunity, this is the only place in the entire Dark Continent that has a Temple of Blood from what Lillian told me." (Vanessa)

"I'm a little curious about what this place is like, I just hoped it was at a better time when I was going there and not before I left for a place full of undead." (I)

Vanessa takes me to the other side of town where we find several temples and churches close to each other.

On the way I started to be persecuted by two different groups of people, these were the Priests and Priestesses that Vanessa recognized as being from two religions, the Temple of Lust and the Church of Fertility.

I tried to hide from them but they always managed to find me, a chill crept up my back as I thought I had to keep a distance from these dangerous religions.

I only managed to escape the chase when I entered the Temple of Blood, as I was running I didn't pay much attention to where the stake was going, I was more worried about what was coming after me, it was Vanessa who directed me here.

Looking at the statue made an image of the Goddess look fearless and full of courage on a battlefield, the expression on the statue's face portrayed the infinite determination of one who would never surrender.

The statue looked almost alive, it was very strange and it caught my attention a lot, but it was the image I saw in the corners of my eyes that left me frozen in place, I tried to look to the side wherein an unfamiliar corner I saw a painting of a red haired girl on her back holding a sword covered in blood, as she was on her back her face was not visible but it looked like her head was slightly lowered, for a moment I seemed to have seen the image of a man with brown hair and eyes blacks much like me smiling facing the child with a hand on his head in the middle of a ruin.

Tears

"..." (I)

Tears

"Dad, why are you crying? What happened?" (Vanessa)

Tears

When I got distracted by Vanessa's voice and blinked my eyes the image of the man was no longer there, there was only the girl on her back holding a sword covered in blood, and the rest of the frame was a black background that didn't show anything anymore.

Tears

I put a hand on my face as I noticed the tears coming out of my eyes nonstop, I also noticed that my heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of my chest.

"What was that..." (I)
