"Ritual sacrifices, forbidden meditations, collecting cursed relics... and the most important part is—it can't be stopped once it begins."
Kael stared at her, stunned.
"So you just told them the devil was behind some summoning in the forest... and tied the disappearances to that?"
She nodded.
"Since the summoning process can't be stopped midway, they believe they can just surround the devil and kill him before it completes."
Kael gave a slow nod and fell silent.
Now, at last, he understood why bearers of the Godbreaker Mark were hunted so relentlessly by all who served the gods.
To carry that mark was to have summoned—or nearly summoned—a forgotten god, one of the divine enemies sealed away for a reason.
He glanced at Yue, who sat motionless, her expression unreadable as she gazed out the window.
Kael exhaled quietly, a weight settling in his chest.
How little do I really know about her?
Well… I'll find out more in time.
