Chapter 495: Why Do You Play the Game Like That 5
After defeating the floor 60 boss and collecting the loot, we resupplied and rested at the mansion in the Harpy Archipelago before returning outside the tower.
Though the rest stops changed as we climbed higher in the tower, the routine of hunting bosses and heading outside remained the same. But this time felt different. Just looking at the hundreds of people trailing behind us as we casually walked down chatting made that clear.
Trainee commanders, mercenaries, adventurers, priests, temple knights, and arrested scammers... While I understood why they insisted on following us, it was still uncomfortable.
"Is this because of the Heavenly King?"
"Must be. It's the first time someone directly connected to the Demon Lord has appeared."
This commotion was naturally due to the Heavenly King.
About half the crowd following us consisted of priests, nuns, and temple knights. While it made sense for the contracted trainee commanders and mercenaries whose contracts had expired, seeing priests rushing out of the tower en masse was clearly unusual.
Then again, it would be stranger if religious folks didn't make a fuss after witnessing an actual demon.
The Goddess of Life bestowed holy power upon the land and occasionally watched over humanity through prophecies and visions. No one could deny her existence given the miracles - healing severed limbs and preventing plagues and famines based on faith. But the Demon Lord was different.
