Chapter 293 (2): Goddess of Darkness - I Have a Task for You
Land of Seal.
It was what had been the Land of Seal, anyway.
The four returned along the path they had come through. Seeing the dramatically different landscapes, the three chosen knights were shocked. After asking about it, they realized that they had fallen for Thoggua’s tricks and nearly allowed Thoggua to hit their base from a backdoor. Moreover, with a pincer movement from the front and the back, Thoggua would surely succeed in descending.
Moula, who had formulated the strategy, was drenched in sweat. He had nearly doomed the entire world unintentionally. Lowering his gloomy face, he stood firm while Darienne berated him.
“Wayne, why did Thoggua leave?”
“I don’t know. It was clearly about to succeed when it suddenly went crazy...” Wayne gestured as he described what had happened, but with his limited verbal skills, his explanation was ambiguous and failed to paint a clear picture. “Anyway, they seemed to have received some kind of summons and just disappeared on their own.”
The dark elves had left before the great battle, and the only witnesses to the Death energy and the Pale Nest were Wayne’s people, leaving him with a lot of room to manipulate the story. Based on his current abilities, he gave the correct answer: ‘I don’t know anything.’
Don’t ask. We just won mysteriously. That’s all.
The three knights didn’t suspect anything. In the projected space, they had seen Thoggua giving up on attacking all of a sudden, retreating and even nearly taking them to the Vassal Realm. Come to think of it, perhaps Thoggua had received a summons from the ancient god upon their awakening.
“Such a shame. It was a good chance, but because of me, we didn’t completely sever the projected space,” Darienne said, blaming herself.
Her two companions offered her words of comfort. They had completed their objective, which was filling the crack in the projected space. Thoggua could no longer descend at will, and the other hidden threats across the Chosen Land had been eliminated. The fact that Thoggua couldn’t attack from within was in itself a major victory.
Speaking of which, Moula looked at Anastasia with puzzlement.
