Lin had admitted it so honestly mainly because it was something that did not matter even if she said it.
After all, when facing Black Rabbit, her own combat strength was clearly superior—at least, that was the situation for now.
A low rumble shook the earth across the southeastern grasslands. It seemed to be the sound of the Giant Race marching. ...
Or perhaps it was the sound caused by Dean's actions.
"This feeling... could it be that they're going to summon Satan Balor...?"
"That thing, huh. I always thought it would only be used with the Demon Eyes. I never expected it could be used like this."
The blood drained from Black Rabbit's face in an instant.
She had just heard the Book of Laikou!
That was one of the Host Authorities that the Giant Race had fought over ten years ago, and it was said to be in the enemy's hands. Black Rabbit immediately used the Rabbit-Ear Listener to listen to the situation below.
"Someone should be conducting a summoning ritual beside Andouward."
Upon receiving the surrounding information, Black Rabbit immediately realized that her unease had been right.

"I won't let you pass, Miss Rabbit."
Lin pulled a throwing knife from her belt
