“We’re already going at full speed. If not for the fact that we couldn’t use teleportation, we would have succeeded long ago.”
Splash!
The blond man turned around and looked at the cave entrance with a puzzled expression.
“Did you hear something?”
“Huh?”
The other man first removed his hood to reveal his blue hair. He listened carefully before looking at his companion.
“I think it’s the sound of water flowing. Before we came, we set up a magic formation in the vicinity. No one should be coming here.”
However, right after the blue-haired man said this, the dragon-shaped creature that had been quiet all along suddenly stood up.
Growl!
The voice carried some impatience and uneasiness, causing the two likely cultists to frown.
The blond man walked to the side of the dragon-shaped creature and stroked its body.
Wisps of magic power surged, and gentle light sparkled.
Under the comfort of this light, the dragon-shaped creature gradually calmed down.
However, the dragon-shaped creature did not lie down to rest again. Its gaze remained fixated on the cave entrance.
The blond man looked at the entrance of the cave in confusion.
/Is there anything there?
“Liveras, have you sensed something?”
Growl!
Upon hearing its master’s question, the dragon-shaped creature named Liveras called out to it and looked at it confidently.
“Bona, Liveras felt something. Let’s be careful.”
The blue-haired man, Bona, scratched his head. He looked around curiously.
“There shouldn’t be anything in this cave. What is going on?”
“How would I know if you ask me!”
The blond man glanced at the cave entrance. There was still no movement over there, and he could not find anything.
However, he trusted his magic pet.
Since his beloved pet had warned him, it was safer to be careful.
“Anyways, it’s better to be careful.”
“Okay.” Bona had the same thought. He pulled out his staff, a staff made from the bones of someone’s arm.
Then, a white, cold halo spread out. Countless painful faces could be faintly seen in the halo.
“I’ve set up a barrier, so it shouldn’t be a problem with those spirits around.”
The blond man was confident in Bona’s methods, so he did not say anything.
Looking around, he found it a pity to look at the ritual venue that was the most completed in history.
Looking at the three beastfolks behind Liveras, the blond man could not help but sigh.
“It’s a pity that I’ve found such excellent offerings for this ritual.”
At this point, the blond man seemed to have remembered something and could not help but grit his teeth.
“Can’t the lunatics of the ritual group wait? I heard that they even attacked Liveras before the sacrifice.”
Bona looked annoyed as well.
“Yeah, we were just a little late, and they stirred up such a huge mess.”
It would have been fine if they were not discovered. If it did, the church would be in deep trouble.
Although they were not afraid of the Liluca Kingdom, it was better to avoid trouble if possible.
“Forget it. It was our fault in the first place. The sacrifices prepared in advance were not in place. How could those lunatics miss the best opportunity to activate the ritual just to wait for us?
“However, the ritual group got wiped out this time, and we returned empty-handed. I wonder what the church will think?”
“I guess they’ll reform the ritual group and try again..”
