Chapter 701: After the Holy City
With Aro riding on my head, I fly towards the palace where treant is. However… for the people of this city, I am the Dragon of Revelation who murdered their Saint Jornes. Jornes might have been laying waste to the city as a servant of God’s Voice, but they simply lack way too much information. I know I can’t expect a warm welcome.
In fact, it looked like the warrior priests were awfully panicked by my arrival. Once we’ve met up, we should quickly get away from here. Each second we spend here is another second the other [Spirit Servants] are murdering others, so I was planning on leaving quickly anyway.
『…For that matter, is treant coping okay at the shelter? I feel bad for saying this, but I don’t think he’s the most skilful at that sort of thing…』
I don’t know how he could have explained things to the evacuees, but he’s not the type to lie, nor is he very quick-witted. I do think it’s one of his virtues, but I could just imagine him being stupidly honest and declaring something like ‘the apocalypse is my master!’. I just hope he hasn’t gotten the Holy God believers to throw him into a jail cell…
“He’s okay…” Aro says, her voice hesitant. “…I hope”
『W-well, there’s no way he could have died.』
A bunch of warrior priests would never be able to scratch him. In that sense it might be pointless to worry, but all the same…
As we near the palace, I spot a giant hole that been blown into the side, exposing the insides. In front of the hole, the ground has been gouged out. It seems a stray [Ruin] must have hit here.
I-is this okay…? A single blast could easily have caused a huge number of casualties.
