Chapter 142: I Won't Betray You
At dusk, the group returned to the village that had been completely reduced to ruins.
The original wellhead had long been buried by the collapsed debris, making it difficult to identify. Ansu stood in the center of the ruins, his gaze warily scanning the surrounding wasteland.
"With so many demons and mercenaries missing, Barcas will definitely send people to investigate. Moreover, the Church of Holy Light in Limestone Town must have detected the earthquake and the powerful dark energy..."
Celia nodded with a serious expression. "If the demon army's treasure really appeared as you thought, then we need to handle it quickly..."
Ansu thought about that hoard of treasure, and the scene of himself being instantly killed by the evil god in the simulation involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
On this entire trip, the only thing that truly terrified him from the bottom of his heart was that fallen deity. Even if Ersos was sealed by the collective efforts of the righteous gods, killing him would still be easier than crushing an ant...
This was also why he had used the teleportation to flee far away as soon as he activated the sacrifice, and even wandered around outside for so long, only daring to return at dusk...
That guy should have gone back to nap by now; after all, he loved to sleep so much.
"Celia, your perception is the strongest..." Ansu asked, still not quite at ease. "Do you feel anything deep underground staring at us?"
