Chapter 317: Faded Promise (9)
The brilliantly blazing fire that filled the vast chamber began to swirl into Song Ha-Eun.
“Agh!” Song Ha-Eun’s expression twisted in pain.
A massive wave of mana surged into her.
The demonkin, who had been locked in a fierce battle against Kwon Oh-Jin, groaned and stumbled back from the overwhelming heat radiating from Song Ha-Eun.
“Kugh!”
“W-What is this heat?!”
“Ha-Eun!” Kwon Oh-Jin ran toward her in a panic as she absorbed the flames.
The closer he got, the more he could feel his skin burning from the searing heat.
Sizzle!
“Kellion...!” Kwon Oh-Jin glared fiercely at Kellion as the situation unfolded differently from the so-called prophecy.
Naturally, when planning this mission, they had accounted for the possibility of Kellion betraying them. Even so, they had gone ahead with the plan because Kwon Oh-Jin had seen no signs that Kellion was lying after observing him calmly for the past few days.
Kwon Oh-Jin couldn’t instantly see through every lie. At the very least, he had never failed to detect a lie after thoroughly investigating a suspicious person over several days.
