Max Level Miscellaneous Character - CH 56
“What do you mean, they’re dead?!”
When Ivan shouted loudly, the paladin kept their mouths shut. It meant that he couldn’t talk more here.
“I’m sorry, but it’s not something I can talk about in a place like this. To be honest, things haven’t been sorted out internally yet.”
Then the paladins urged them to follow them. It was by no means common for dozens of paladin and priests to die at once. There was no time to relax.
“Well, I understand.”
Ivan and his party agreed to accompany the paladins and cooperate with the investigation. Because they were very curious about this as well.
Ivan and his party quickly got armed and left the house. Paladins did not stop them.
It means that they are a witness, not a suspect.
‘But it could change at any time if the circumstances change too.’
Ivan thought like that and touched the sword around his waist.
Things were taking a strange turn. If you don’t know who to trust, it’s safe to think of everyone as your enemy.
He headed to the temple of the fire god Kundara. As they went deep inside to avoid the eyes of the believers, the paladins and priests with serious expressions were waiting for them.
Everyone was aware that the situation was serious, and they went straight to the point.
“You said you met demon worshipers in an abandoned underground fortress. Was there anything special about it?”
“It was a ritual. It was an evil ritual that summoned the power of the demon to shake the world.”
“How exactly was it?”
“Drawing flesh and summoning some demons to make sacrifices and weaken the dimensional barrier.”
The testimony of the exorcist, Delfino, was quite in-depth and factual. Knowing what the other person wanted, he was able to get the gist of it.
Ivan finally could ask them about the situation after Delfino told them the story about it for a long time.
“Then can we know what’s going on now? It’s very disturbing that the people we broke up in a good mood suddenly died.”
To that, the priest in charge of the investigation answered with a long sigh.
“Three days after they broke up with you, there was an attack by demon worshipers. After receiving a report about the imminent situation through the emergency communication bead, we checked the scene, and there were signs of a fierce battle.”
“Then what about them?”
“Some have been confirmed dead, and others are missing.”
There was little chance of reviving the missing person. Being missing in this situation simply meant that the body could not be found.
