Chapter 269. Payoff Secured (3)
"If I had come in here alone, I'd be in serious trouble right now. I mean—Saintess! How could a space like this exist beneath the sanctuary and the Holy Kingdom not know anything about it?" Caron asked.
"I-I told you earlier! I don't really know either!" Seria replied hastily.
"Ugh. Typical. Useless as always, huh?" Caron said.
Slice!
Caron grimaced as he cut down the Cerberus charging at him in a single, clean stroke. Perhaps because the creature had three heads, it provided some satisfying resistance as his blade tore through it.
"Caron, this is just an illusion, right? We won't die here?" Leo asked nervously.
"Leo," Caron called out.
"Yeah?" Leo replied.
"Your head's leaking red sauce," Caron said.
"...When did I even get hit?" Leo wondered.
"Hah..." Seria sighed, then channeled holy power into Leo's bleeding head. The flow of blood stopped immediately.
Caron kicked the decapitated Cerberus' body away and let out a long breath as he scanned their surroundings.
