Chapter 364: Arc 5, - 58: Echoed Clash
"Did you really think a few bullets was gonna end all of this? If that were the case, I’d be dead long before we ever met~" Jotou let out a giggle and spun her blade under her eyes.
While the cultists fumbled or adeptly reloaded their firearms, Jotou gave them and the green-haired woman a sideways glance and a sigh, "Is this really all I can expect from the great Deuctus Cult? The one I heard so much about?
