Chapter 267: Hell Difficulty Again?
Schneitz and Lana both looked at Daniel. It was true—now their enemy was someone who practically held the power to destroy a continent.
"The ring can only summon it. There is only one person who can actually control that Devourer," the old man replied. Then, after a brief pause, he continued.
"But he’s no longer just your enemy. He’s an enemy to the entire world. If he isn’t stopped, and that creature is summoned, our world will be destroyed. It’s obvious that lunatic wants to take the world down with him," Schneitz growled.
"But what are we supposed to do? Just attack him? If we go at him head-on, he’ll just release that monster," Lana asked with a frown.
"Of course not. First, I have to report this to the Federation, and then to the Guardian Council. Without their help, there’s nothing we can do," Schneitz said.
"Is there any indication of when he plans to strike?" Daniel asked.
"No, but it shouldn’t take long. That bastard has completely lost his mind. He wants revenge—not just against you, but against the one who killed his wife. I doubt he has the patience to wait much longer," Schneitz thought for a moment before answering.
"So we don’t have much time," Daniel muttered with a frown. But realizing that he had no place in this battle, his frown faded.
He was only a B-Rank. Naturally, he had no power to fight against an S-Rank—especially one who could make even a national-rank Awakened like Schneitz feel fear.
So what was he supposed to do? Just sit back and watch? And what about his family? He didn’t even know what condition they were in right now, and that uncertainty alone was driving him mad.
"The best thing the two of you can do right now is hide. The city will probably be ordered to evacuate soon. The situation is far worse than you can imagine," Schneitz said, seeing the looks on their faces.
He knew that look very well—the stubborn determination of people who wanted to act no matter the odds. But he couldn’t allow that.
