Chapter 2363: A Demonic Deity
The party walked up the mountain along a sacred path. At first, Salamay’s group was a bit annoyed, but the Demon race guide reminded them that ever since ancient times, everyone had to take this path when they paid their respects to the Priest Temple. Otherwise, it would be viewed as blasphemy against the Demon Deity.
The ‘Lord of Slaughter’ quietly said, “Let’s just take this path and decide what to do when we arrive. Let’s not create a disturbance here.”
Salamay gave the Demon race natives in the distance a look. Even though she wasn’t scared, if there was any conflict, their sheer numbers would be a bit tricky. Thus, she gave the order for her subordinates to go ahead on foot. Inwardly, though, she was quite surprised.
Father is much calmer now than before. If this had been in the past, he would’ve already started a great massacre.
But she didn’t suspect him and just assumed her father’s temper had become much milder after being imprisoned under that mountain seal for thousands of years.
Her attention was soon grabbed by the sculptures off to either side of the temple. Every few meters, there was a sculpture of a ferocious beast. They were made with extraordinary skill and attention to detail. Each one seemed as if a real, living beast lay in wait to swallow them all up.
Salamay’s eyes flickered with light. These were all rather strong beasts from the Monster World. She hadn’t expected this world to have records of their appearances. It seemed the connection between the two worlds was closer than she had imagined.
Her subordinates also clicked their tongues in astonishment. They began to discuss just what kinds of beasts these were. But eventually, there were many statues even they didn’t recognize.
They continued all the way to the mountaintop, where they finally saw that all manner of fiendish-looking humanoid creatures were carved on the massive stone pillars. Even Salamay and the others, who had seen their fair share of shocking things, felt a bit alarmed. They even felt as if they really weren't supposed to look those creatures directly in the eyes.
