Chapter 40: The Evil Descends (4)
Hayes thought she knew Ketal well enough. Having cleared two Dungeons together, she believed she had a grasp of what kind of person he was.
He was peculiar and highly curious, but fundamentally, he was a good person. He showed consideration for others and carried himself with courtesy. Deep down, she had assumed the barbarian was a unique yet ordinary being surviving in this world.
However, something felt off right now. There was an alien quality to him. He was not someone who shared her values. She realized this unsettling truth. Hayes suddenly felt that the barbarian had grown distant.
Boom!
Amidst these thoughts, the battle raged on. Light and darkness clashed, their shockwaves sweeping across the battlefield.
Clang!
Ashetiaar violently struck her hammer against Aquaz’s shield and staggered back. Her hammer had the remnants of the golden divine light, which she shook off swiftly.
As expected of the dog of the gods, Ashetiaar thought.
She knew her power was superior to Aquaz. The gap between them was undeniable—so big that she would win all one hundred times if they fought that many battles. Yet, their compatibility wasn’t favorable. In this world, magic could never overcome the power of the gods.
Moreover, Aquaz could recite scriptures.
The scriptures were the words of the gods, and reading them allowed one to channel divine power more directly. At this rate, the battle would stretch on endlessly, and there was even a chance she could lose.
