Chapter 170: Death Awaits (2)
Seraphina blew a section of the wall for them to escape. As for Fenrir, she expanded to her maximum size. Her towering figure could carry everyone except Adrian, who decided to stay.
Everyone was confused with his decision as it wasn’t the plan. But Adrian insisted he needed to deal with something before he could leave with them.
The girls weren’t pleased with the change but followed Adrian’s request. Before they departed, Adrian looked at Vesper. She had fallen asleep in A’Mila’s arms without seeing Adrian’s face.
After that, they left, and Adrian made his way back to the Church. By now, everything was in chaos. The once-decorated walls of the Church were now littered with rubble and debris. Adrian could still hear the battle raging outside, but surprisingly, no one was inside.
However, as Adrian entered the main halls of the Church, it became clear why everything was calm inside. Countless bodies lay strewn about, their lifeless faces twisted with agony.
Adrian might have felt some sympathy for them, but what they did to Vesper, coupled with the contracts they put out for his death, were enough to kill any affection he might have had for them.
"It’s a good thing they’re dead," Adrian mumbled, kicking away a priest’s corpse. "Or I would have killed them myself."
With half his job taken care of by strangers, Adrian decided it was time to get rid of the pinging notifications. He was flooded with messages from the system and various entities when he opened the prompts.
Some were pleased with what he did, while some were strictly against what he did by essentially causing dozens upon dozens of deaths. However, Adrian had one thing to say to them, the entities could go and fuck themselves.
