Kaboom!
Dust flew up as Kieran raised [Arrogant Word] up again.
"I surrender!"
The Fiend Exorcist raised his hands up when he saw Kieran raising his sword.
Kieran frowned when he saw his opponent surrender.
He really wanted to swing his sword down at Ren.
But …
Kieran turned around and saw the monk who appeared beside him out of nowhere.
Unlike the hurried glance before, this time, the monk was standing in front of Kieran, allowing Kieran to have a clear look at his face.
The monk was scrawny, half hunched, not only his face was loose but all his teeth were gone as well. His eyes were extremely turbid.
Regardless of which angle Kieran looked at the monk, he was a dying old monk.
However, Kieran didn't forget the scene where the main hall of Rassho Temple was moved.
Unconsciously, his vigilance rose up.
Kieran stared at the old monk with utmost vigilance.
While facing Kieran's vigilant gaze, the old monk smiled.
It was a very kind smile.
Then, the old monk shook his head.
Kieran frowned.
He was completely confused by the old monk's actions.
Then, before Kieran could ask any questions, the old monk turned around and left.
Tssk Gak!
The main hall's door was closed again.
Other than the collapsed walls, Rassho Temple returned to its original peaceful state.
But there was one thing different!
Kieran's damaged [Armor of Excellence] was restored to its original state, there wasn't a single scratch on it and his lost HP was fully recovered as well.
However, compared to Kieran, Ren didn't seem to have any changes, he was still vomiting blood.
It seemed like … it was a little more serious than before.
It seemed like it was a chance!
Kieran turned around to Ren, his eyes were overflowing with killer intents.
Kieran would never show mercy when he could reap some benefits, especially when the target's intentions were unclear and he couldn't tell if he was a friend or foe.
Ren smiled bitterly when he felt the killer intents in Kieran's eyes.
"I can tell you what happened!"
Before Kieran could make any further moves, Ren said.
"Everything?"
Kieran emphasized.
"Everything!"
Ren repeated.
When Kieran put away [Arrogant Word], Ren heaved a breath of relief.
"What a surprising junior … Gunpowder weapons, secret artifacts, and more than one. If I hadn't confirmed your identity, I would have thought you were really that guy's descendant."
The Fiend Exorcist whose age couldn't be determined from his appearance said with a sigh.
"That guy?"
Kieran asked.
"Ai Little, add!"
Ren did not hide anything.
Since he chose to tell Kieran everything in exchange for his Little life, Ren went straight to the point. "Ai Little Plus is the honorific we gave him. His real name is … Great Swamp!"
Great Swamp!
Kieran was stunned, the image of the dragon-snake creature popped up in his mind.
At the same time, the doubts in his heart grew.
"What is the underground space of Saint Brilliant?"
Kieran continued asking.
"That place is that guy's father's palace. After that guy chose his current lifestyle, the palace was abandoned but who would have thought it would be used by those bastards with ulterior motives!"
Ren sighed.
"His current lifestyle?"
Kieran raised a brow, he suddenly thought of the legend he heard from Inspector Oaker.
"Just as you thought, after that person chose to live his life now, the people of this land chose to rely on that person to survive. They offered sacrifices and begged for that person's protection, and that person was happy to do so. Therefore, as time passed, Flame City gradually appeared on the map."
"But, there were always those bastards with ulterior motives who wanted to obtain that guy's power!"
"At first, they didn't even have the chance to make a move but as time went by, that guy slowly merged with Flame City …"
"Their chance has finally arrived!"
Ren couldn't hold back his cold grunt.
"Merged with the city?"
However, Kieran was concerned about something else.
"Yes!
"Become one with the city!"
"In simple words, that guy in Flame City is … God!"
Ren uttered the last word.
Kieran was shocked.
He never thought Ai Little would have such an identity.
Unconsciously, he thought of another person: Nikorei, the God of Earth.
Were both of them in the same situation?
Kieran wondered in his heart but his words didn't stop.
"So, when I appeared in Flame City, that guy noticed me?"
"He hoped that my appearance could disturb those who had ulterior motives … You people are absorbing Ai Little's power?"
As he spoke, Kieran suddenly realized something.
He thought of the dragon-snake stone statue and the energy that was absorbed by that terrifying aura.
"You people want to slay a God?"
Kieran looked at the Fiend Exorcist in astonishment.
"Not us, it's another bunch of bastards … We, the Funeral Society, are just the mediators.
Though, it wasn't successful! "
Ren shrugged.
"I can tell!"
Kieran commented.
From the moment Ling appeared, everything had gone beyond the Funeral Society's expectation. They had fallen into the God Slayer's trap.
If it wasn't for Kieran's appearance that accidentally messed up the God Slayer's trap, the God Slayers might have already killed Ai Little.
Huu!
Kieran couldn't help but take in a deep breath.
It was natural for him to think that if Ai Little who merged with Flame City died …
What would happen?
No matter how he thought about it, it wouldn't be anything good.
"Who are those bastards?"
Kieran asked.
"Perforation Sting!
A bunch of humans, fiends, half-fiends and a bunch of other bastards. They appeared around 30 years ago and no one treated them seriously at first. When they realized their intentions, only then did they realize how scary they were! "
Ren took out a cigarette from his shirt pocket and lit it up. He took a deep puff and the smoke shrouded his handsome face.
The smoke made his face look ethereal.
However, Kieran didn't even care about the smoke.
His sharp senses caught the hidden meaning behind Ren's words.
"You are saying this isn't the first time they slay a God?"
Kieran asked in a heavy tone.
"Yes, this is the third time!
"The first two times, one was a success and the other was a failure!"
The first time they succeeded, one of them acquired the power of the original God of the city, allowing Perforation Sting to grow rapidly. Back then, Perforation Sting was unstoppable! "
"Until … the second time they failed!"
"Not only did the original God of the city escape with heavy injuries, the rest of the bastards were also killed!"
"But who would've thought they would make a comeback in less than a decade!"
"They were even more ferocious than the first two times!"
Even though the smoke was shrouding him, the bitterness on Ren's face couldn't be concealed.
"Do you want to continue listening?
"If you continue to listen, you really won't be able to escape!"
Ren said.
However, his eyes at Kieran were filled with probing and anticipation.
