Chapter 954

A serpent!
A giant serpent that stretched across the sky.
The serpent's head was as big as the whole temple district, its tongue was as wide as a street, its saliva would form a puddle when it landed on the ground.
The serpent's fangs were as sharp as a hill.
However, it had no eyes.
It wasn't that it was born without eyes, it was dug out by someone after birth.
Two clear scars were left on the serpent's body.
However, the most terrifying thing wasn't the giant serpent's size but its scales!
It was different from common snake scales!
This giant serpent's scales were alive!
Mouths grew on the giant serpent's body, the sharp fangs producing chilling grinding noises when they opened and closed.
Gacha, Gacha!
Concentrated chewing noises came from the giant serpent's body, making it look even scarier and more ferocious.
Kieran glanced over the thousands of mouths and squinted his eyes.
"The mouths from before were one of its scales?"
Kieran took in a deep breath.
His hand that was holding [Arrogant Word] tightened.
He knew how powerful that monstrous mouth was, since he had fought it before.
However, the mouth was only one of its scales.
Then …
How powerful was the owner of the scales?
Just look at the gathered Gods!
Even though all 22 Gods had gathered together, they didn't look relaxed at all.
Quite the opposite, Kieran could feel the pressure from the divine light in the sky.
He knew the Gods were facing a formidable foe.
If he had a choice, he would never want to fight such a monster but his main mission had forced him into a dead end.
Whether it was the original mission or the current one.
The original main mission was to stay in Naveya City for 4 weeks and make sure his identity and the participants' identities weren't exposed.
The main mission was already half completed.
However, following the sudden notification, the main mission was completed ahead of schedule.
A new main mission had appeared.
[Triggered key event, main mission completed ahead of schedule …]
[Special main mission has appeared …]
[Special main mission: The terrifying Devourer has appeared. The Devourer who is famous for devouring Gods has been awakened by a new follower. You need to deal Light damage to the Devourer (Any damage is acceptable, damage can be accumulated)]
…
Kieran glanced over the words in front of him.
Among them, Kieran had a lot of guesses about the 'new followers'.
"A 'follower'?"
"You call yourself a follower of a hero's descendant, but you're actually a follower of the Devourer … But the essence of subverting the Divine Temple is the same. What a confusing name."
"Anxico is the original follower!"
"Who's the new 'follower'?"
Kieran thought of the abnormal Horace.
But he immediately shook his head.
It wasn't that he had gotten rid of his suspicions.
Rather, it was because he wasn't qualified to participate in such a matter alone.
Lady Thorn did not mention where the Devourer was sleeping or where it was sealed.
However, Kieran was sure that such a place was not something a priest could come into contact with. Therefore, he needed someone with higher qualifications.
Who else in Hunter Divine Temple had a higher status than Horace?
High Priest Kirk!
And why would a true high priest betray the God he believed in?
Except for situations like Kieran's.
There was only one possibility left!
The Hunter was also a follower of the Devourer.
It was incredible!
But this was Kieran's conclusion.
However, Kieran, who had reached the final conclusion, was not happy at all.
A chill ran down his spine.
This was because he knew very well that if his guess was correct, the 22 gods who seemed to be his assistants were not reliable at all.
Who could guarantee that the so-called new 'follower' was just a hunter?
What if there were other gods?
"Lady Vanessa, be careful of the hunters and other deities!"
Kieran reminded Lady Thorn in his heart.
He then looked at Starbeck who was hiding in the corner.
"Have you changed?"
Kieran revealed a secret that only the two of them knew.
"Yes, yes."
Starbeck nodded shakily.
When the Devourer appeared, Starbeck's mind went blank and he was dumbfounded.
A moment ago, everything was normal and he would only need to stay for a few more days to complete the dungeon world, but a moment later, the situation changed drastically and a terrifying monster that he had never seen before appeared.
Starbeck who won every dungeon without doing anything would never understand how crazy and paranoid Kieran was in his bones.
Even in this dungeon world where Gods were the main characters, Kieran would try his best to trigger and complete sub-missions and special events, giving his all to defeat and slay every enemy.
Quantitative change would lead to qualitative change.
A series of small incidents would eventually change the direction of the world.
Just like the Devourer who was supposed to be in slumber but woke up ahead of time.
The Devourer was the result of being changed.
Starbeck didn't know all this.
But even if he knew, he couldn't do anything about it.
He was just an innocent bystander who got dragged into the mess.
Or rather, a fire at the city gate would bring disaster to the fish in the moat.
Kieran knew all this.
But unlike Starbeck, even if he knew, he would still do the same thing if he was given another chance, and he would be even crazier than this time.
Kieran knew what he wanted, he knew what he should do.
This time was no exception either.
However, Kieran also knew it was his choice, not Starbeck's.
Once he had to fight the monster, he couldn't afford to split his attention to take care of Starbeck.
So, Kieran had to let Starbeck leave first.
"Do you have anything on you that can heal it to Light Wounds?"
Kieran asked.
"Y-Yes, I do.
B-But I have to touch it, or it touches me. "
Starbeck stuttered.
"Touch?
Are you confident you can last 10 seconds after that? "
Kieran raised a brow and glanced at the bag on Starbeck's waist.
Starbeck suddenly had a bad feeling when he saw Kieran's raised brow.
A timid person's premonition was always more accurate.
It was similar to a small animal's innate instinct when facing danger.
Starbeck was one of the best of the best.
However, Starbeck nodded honestly at Kieran's question.
"Y-Yes!"
The moment his words subsided, the bad feeling in Starbeck's heart came true.
He looked at himself being lifted up high above his head and then at Kieran who was in a running stance.
"W-What are you doing … Aaaaaaaah!"
Before Starbeck could finish, Kieran ran faster and threw Starbeck towards the Devourer in the sky.
Starbeck, who was a coward, screamed at the top of his lungs as he flew higher.
