Chapter 318: Moon (2)
The Land of Destruction’s lighthouse marked the final main quest branch, leading to the worst ending, in which alien ore would be drawn in, obliterating the continent. As she watched Deculein, Ria’s eyes were filled with doubt and hostility.
“... Who is repairing the lighthouse?” Carlos asked.
“Shh,” Ria murmured, pressing a finger to her lips.
Then, Ria concentrated on her observation once more, just in case she had been mistaken in her sight.
Hummmmmm—
Deculein’s Telekinesis moved the massive lighthouse like the body of a giant, repeatedly dismantling, disintegrating, and reassembling it—progressing it into a more proper structure.
“Why...”
Ria was unable to understand, as in her estimation, Deculein was unequivocally no saint, and not a hero capable of sacrificing himself to rescue the continent, as Yulie or Ganesha might be.
However, Deculein, who had changed considerably from the original game, was likely a character like a noble himself—one who adhered strictly to principles, aspired to his house’s glory, and proclaimed himself a loyal servant to the Empress.
Watching Deculein construct the lighthouse in the Land of Destruction, Ria bit her fingernails hard.
Thud—
At that moment, the chilling sound of footsteps behind sent a shiver down the necks of Ria and her group.
