The Priestess Of Rodona - Chapter 94 Chapter 94
Suddenly the time started to flow backwards, and Elvire saw what was happening in the village.
“Nooo you, you traitor! You won’t ruin me! I will come back!” The demon howled while getting smaller and smaller but every minute that passed.
Elvire saw how the villagers started to turn into undead and how the priest saved and escaped by the others to the church.
She also saw how the villagers started the sacrifices without caring about the crying and pleading and how the demon manifested from the one man.
It was like a movie to her; she saw every moment like she would have been there by herself, and finally, when it stopped, there was a small imp in the ground sniffing around.
“My master plan, all of my strength gone away because of you! I will get my revenge! Yes, I will get it and grow to mighty demon once again.” The imp seemed to went crazy and was repeating how it was mighty and how everyone should fear it.
“Now, my job is done, and my last powers were used, but my child remember you cannot use this power without sacrificing yourself as it needs an equal exchange.” The voice said one last time before fading away.
“It’s just a small imp now? Did this just really terrorize the whole village and us?” Tam said while piercing his sword straight through the imp without any mercy.
It was still a being from hell an archenemy to him and to the humankind.
So he didn’t want to take any risks anymore with letting it go.
“We are finally free. We can finally rest and live once again.” The wisp’s started to say before slowly fading away.
“As a reward, there is a secret basement under the last bench near the door at the right side you are free to take anything you want from there or from the church and this village.” The old priest said while slowly starting to fade away while smiling calmly.
They had done their jobs guarding the humans and other races from an invasion, but no one would know it, and now they were rewarded by an afterlife.
So they embraced it calmy as they had waited for it a long time already.
Jaana and Levin went towards Elvire and hugged her waking her up and realizing that she didn’t have the ability to see their lifespans, and she was glad about it.
It was a cruel ability you knew when your family or friends would die, and you couldn’t do anything to it other than watch.
It would slowly drive you in sorrow or that you would become a hermit that you wouldn’t see and feel it again.
But she felt that the hourglass was still there, and she could feel the faint feeling of a time that was flowing through now.
She gave a massive hug to her parents before slowly giving a small prayer that the dead could find their happiness at the afterlife while the others joined to it.
When Elvire was done, Levin asked out.
“Should we check the basement out? And loot everything we can from here?” And everyone agreed to it.
They didn’t have horses anymore nor that much of a money left, but at least they had food.
But horses were expensive the same was with the carriage so if there would be something to salvage and sell they could at least pay to
someone to take them to their destination.
When they came inside the church, they saw that it wasn’t changed at all and looked the same as always.
They went to check the spot that the old priest had mentioned, and they saw one of the tiles was little loose, and when they lifted it up, they saw a small basement where you would need to be with your knees or if you would be ten years old, you might fit there.
There wasn’t much room and nothing to go down with, and after debating whether to check it out or not, they left the exploration for Elvire to handle.
Levin kindly lowered her to the basement and gave Elvire a torch, and Elvire looked around the basement that was about ten meters wide or even less.
She saw five barrels in a row, and she firstly pushed those to the entrance that Levin and Tam could lift them up after that was done she saw that the room was actually larger now.
There were at least twenty or so additional meters of space when the barrels were moved, and there were twenty crates behind the barrels.
Elvire didn’t know what they were holding in them, but some of them were heavy, and she asked a rope that Tam or Levin can pull them out.
She was slowly carrying or wrapping the rope around the crates that they could open them and see what they were holding in them.
