Chapter 708: Gluttony Ghoul (side: Adofu)
The pack of blood-red demons, the gluttony ghouls, spread out into the city, sweeping through Harenae.
“Why… Why is this happening…? Holy God-sama… we people of Harenae have kept our faith… So why are we being tested like this?”
The priest murmurs.
“Priest-dono! We need to gather people and protect them!”
Adofu yells. The priest looks up at him, but weakly shakes his head.
“What do you plan on doing…? You’re up against such absolute power… More importantly, this ancient Hero was sent to us by the Holy God’s grace, so you can’t point your blade at him…”
“I don’t know if that’s true, but we can’t do nothing. At least gather soldiers and help me protect people…! It's only fortunate that the continent’s strongest, Volk-dono, happens to be here.”
“…A-are you counting on me? To take on that monster?”
Volk asks, his body trembling.
