Within the Hall of Divine Prayer in the Whispering Stone Palace, the countless rapidly slicing crescent-shaped light sigils gradually faded. "Rustle, rustle..." The bodies of the Black Iron Golems fell to the ground like scraps of paper, all the Black Iron Golems.
Baji's expression remained perfectly natural. In her deepest awareness, her master was omnipotent, and as his servant, she could offer up her life for him at any time.
After destroying the Black Iron Golems, Chen Rui rushed into the Hall of Divine Prayer with Baji.
The Hall of Divine Prayer was the central hub of the Whispering Stone Palace and exceptionally spacious. Most conspicuous was the statue directly ahead: strong and imposing, clad head to toe in armor, holding a greatsword and a hammer-staff. It should have been a deity of the beastfolk.
The walls on either side were covered in murals, naturally depicting the Beast God's various legends and deeds. Yet among those stories, one figure appeared with remarkable frequency: a cloaked woman holding a staff topped with the skull of a horned beast.

By all rights, Great Shaman Long Meidier should have been in this
