Chapter 296 Beast/Her Scent

Aya was still looking down in thought, as though she had not heard him.

"Ling?"

"Of course I want to watch. I want to see just how powerful that city slaughterer really is," Aya said softly. "I wonder if I'll be able to tell who he really is."

The Cardinal of Water rose to her feet. "The magic crystal screen capable of displaying images is in the temple's Grand Library. Please follow me."

Chapter 296 Beast/Her Scent

I could feel it—her presence.

Aya slowly closed her eyes. Without the distraction of sight, she could sense that person's aura more clearly.

The adventurers sat in the Grand Library of the Slane Theocracy's Holy City, watching everything unfolding on the magic crystal screen with rapt attention.

For some of them, it was a sight enough to overturn their entire worldview—the boiling earth, the pillar of light reaching into the heavens. Before such overwhelming violence, sturdy city walls were instantly flattened, and the city simply vanished in Annihilation.

Not even the cries of the dead could be heard. Amid the raging waves of earth and stone, only blurred traces of blood could be seen. Those who died had been utterly erased, like marks wiped away by an eraser.

It made it all feel unreal, leaving them afraid to imagine how many lives had withered away in that instant.

Tens of thousands of beastmen knelt in a dark mass. Was the one standing before them truly a god?

Before even half of it had played out, Aya no longer wished to watch. She already knew the slaughterer's identity.

And she already knew the future.

The Holy City's Grand Library was cleaned every day. Efficient [Clean]
