The Devil’s Cage - Chapter 1468

Chapter 1468






Kieran raised a brow at the piece of wet paper . Despite his efforts in trying to dry it off, it was still drenched in saliva .

Kieran ultimately didn't say anything when he looked at Gluttony's anxious and guilty face . Of course, he didn't take the paper with his own hands, telling Gluttony to hold it up for him to read .

There wasn't a paragraph on the paper, just two words: Ascend God .

"Ascend God? Now I see!"

Kieran released his furrowed brows a little .

He had been asking how the had Devourer appeared because based on the book "Naveyan History", when Naveya City was formed, the Devourer had already been sealed by Hero Algor .

In simple words, if the seal hadn't been broken, the Devourer wouldn't have appeared .

Among every single soul in Naveya City, other than the so-called 'followers' of the Devourer, no one had reason to break the seal, but now that Kieran saw the word 'ascend God', he realized the reasons were actually there .

Only a mortal could ascend to God, and what mortal in the world didn't want to become one?

Especially the servants of Gods that worked in the temple for their entire life; should they get the chance to ascend to Godship, they would not let it go . Even if they had to betray the God they served and believed in, it would be worth it!

"That is why things went down in Hunter Temple . It wasn't the Hunter himself, but the 'followers' . . . "

As Kieran pondered upon the question, his brows unconsciously tightened again . He suddenly recalled what the God of Knowledge had said during their first meeting: 'history is hidden by the cunning hunter' .

The Hunter was indeed a real hunter before he ascend to Godship .  

Therefore, it was natural that most of his believers were skilled hunters!





A rather coincidental point was his believers might have betrayed and abandoned him .

"Is this related to them?" Kieran unconsciously thought of the archpriest of Hunter Temple, Krecko, and the priest, Herasu .

If the duo were really behind all of this, Kieran had to praise them for doing an excellent job .

Not only did the duo cut off communication with the Hunter, the other Gods of Naveya were also caught in this mess .

On top of that, the duo had brought enough refugees from Naveya to the south, the hidden Hunter Temple in the forest, at least by the looks of it .

As for what their real intentions were? Kieran wasn't sure, because… the God of Lightning!

The God of Lightning had been missing since the start of the series of events .

From the moment the Devourer appeared to when it was accidentally injured, the God of Lightning hadn't shown himself at all . It was recently that a believer of Lightning Temple came into the scene and was somehow related to the plague .

Kieran had totally no idea what the God of Lightning wanted to achieve .

"What is your real goal?


Unconsciously, Kieran's fingers tapped on the wooden table softly . It was his little habit whenever he was thinking .

Meanwhile, Gluttony had been showing an apologetic face beside Kieran, carefully watching the scene . When Gluttony noticed Kieran wasn't angry, he was smart enough to walk into the shadows in the corner .

The paper drenched in saliva was placed on the table quietly .





Seconds turned into minutes, minutes to hours .

When the sun rose, horse gallops sounded outside Gordor Land . Kieran heaved a long breath and stood up from his chair . He couldn't stay here forever but that didn't mean he was ready to leave the place .

Pride then walked out from the shadow in the corner . Kieran said with a smile, "I'll have to leave things in your hands for a while . "

"Leave it to me," Pride nodded softly .

Then, Kieran stepped back into the shadow, vanishing, while Pride took his place and opened the door .

Mizelle, who had been waiting outside the door, played along and bowed respectfully .

"Your Majesty," Mizelle greeted Pride .

DONG!

Behind Mizelle was a group of black riders . They raised the sword in their hands, beat their chest plates and greeted Pride in a loud, unified voice .

"YOUR MAJESTY!"

The voices from the black riders were as powerful as the waves, the people who had been watching the scene frightened instantly .

In Yort Fields, especially in Gordor, the people had never seen such smart and sharp elite soldiers . Even Luphus shared the same frightened expression .

The riders before his eyes reminded him of a certain rumour .

"Is this 'them'? Impossible! The fiercest bandits that roamed Smochker Hills are under his Majesty's command?"





When the outrageous thought appeared in his mind, Luphus immediately discarded it from his head . Then, the 'wise man' saw 'Kieran' walked over, he felt a little different but the 'wise man' knew he shouldn't ask so much . Luphus then opened the carriage door for 'Kieran' .

The group of black riders escorted the wagon out of Gordor Land, and when the group almost left, many voices sounded .

"Your Majesty Ryan, thank you for everything you've done for us!"

"We will never forget it!"

. . .

Many voices of gratitude came from the town entrance .

Elderly scholars, young men with harps on their backs, young ladies in pretty dresses, and innocent children with the purest expressions .

All of them gathered at the town entrance, voicing their gratitude loudly and bowing respectfully at the leaving wagon .

The wagon and the riders didn't stop . The townspeople stood still and saw them off quietly .

In the townspeople's point of view, it was a normal scene because they were sending off a demigod .

Gods were proud beings, they do not belong in the mortal realm, not even a demigod .

However, some of the children showed disappointment .

They remembered clearly the smiling face that had walked past them a few days ago, curing the plague that had tortured them .

The wagon and the black riders rode on, almost out of sight of the townspeople .

Then, an area of soft white brilliance shone from all directions of the town .  

It was warm and comfortable .

Cheers came from the children right away, their innocent minds thinking it was the best reaction from the demigod .

In fact, it should be the best .

Bathing under the soft brilliance, even the elderly scholars felt energetic . They thanked the mercy of his Majesty, and likewise, they would not simply neglect such mercy given to them .

Every single one of the townspeople bowed at the leaving group again .

"May you shine like the stars in the sky, everlasting and bright . "

"May you shine like the light of dawn, bringing light and warmth to the land . "

"May you be kind like the afternoon breeze, comfortable and forgiving of the people . "

. . .

The words of blessing echoing in his ears, he felt the little fire in his mind jump a few times and Kieran couldn't help but lift the corner of his mouth into a smile .

His last minute effort of drawing the [Seal of Dawn] wasn't wasted . He turned around to Gluttony, who was helping him with last minute setups .

"Can you still locate the taste?" Kieran asked .

"Can!" Gluttony nodded .

The smile on Kieran's face instantly grew brighter .

Under the beautiful song of praise, the two figures swiftly vanished .
