Chapter 114: We Own The Skies
Kaiju’s celebration was cut short. He returned his focus to the death of Aqua and sighed. Perhaps, due to the long-term side effects of constantly using the Emotionless skill, he barely felt his heart ache. He also knew that his delayed emotional response might have played a factor in it.
Of course, it did not mean he would not avenge Aqua. Whoever killed him, even if it was Lucy, would not get away with it. Just recalling his interaction with Aqua made him determined to bring justice to his death.
Kaiju was about to say something to his pets, when the Tower’s voice reverberated once again.
{It has been detected that the human race is not complying with the mission requirements. The Tower will not restrict them, welcoming them to elevate the difficulty of their Trial...}
He also heard the mission of the other higher races. He was surprised, but he anticipated it. Nevertheless, based on the Tower’s words, Qwanisha and others might have defeated the Crimson Knights already and had acquired the treasure.
If he was finished, they should be, as well.
For some reason, Kaiju recalled his interaction with Faith. He was a bit suspicious of Faith’s down mood, but he did not dwell on it further when he speculated Faith must be nervous in participating in the Trial.
After all, at any moment, there was a high chance, some of them would die in the process... worst, the human race might be wiped out.
However, after hearing the Tower’s announcement, Kaiju was enlightened somewhat. What if Faith’s gloominess contributed to her special connection with the Angel race. After all, the Angel race and human race were allies, specifically those who followed the same God of the Angel race.
Kaiju would not be surprised if Faith had already promised them to give the treasures to them.
Kaiju’s eyes flashed. What if she will betray us? He soon realized it was an absurd idea and shook his head with a smile. I guess that’s why Faith was so gloomy. She can’t betray the human race, but it seemed she had already betrayed the Angel race now... What will she do?
