524 The Young Man
Benson Walton’s POV:
I was almost certain that Kevin must have a relationship with this temple. He easily found such a hidden door and was indifferent to everything happening before him.
However, now was not the time to question that. The stone door was slowly opening in front of us.
The moment the door opened, my sixth sense suddenly buzzed, sharply warning me that there was an extremely dangerous person hiding behind the door.
I subconsciously wanted to shift the position of the wolf form, but Kevin stopped me.
“It’s useless. No matter how strong the body is, it can’t stop his invasion.” He looked sternly at the dark void through the crack of the door.
“He has a weak body, but his spirit is always successful. Changing forms is just to let him find a more suitable opportunity to strike.”
I didn’t understand what he meant, but given how he’d always been so calm and expected, I thought there was no harm in trusting him for the time being.
The room behind the stone door was dark, unlike the many candles and glass windows on the roof outside. The candle beside the stone door illuminated a small corner for us, and the contrast only made the darkness even more dangerous.
However, Kevin seemed completely unaware of the danger as he entered it.
“You have no way out,” he said flatly. “Put away your despicable tricks. You’ve already failed once, and I think you now understand that they won’t work on me.”
Who was he talking to?
I thought that my vision was superior among the werewolves, but no matter how carefully I observed, I couldn’t see through the dark void.
No one answered Kevin, as if he was talking to air.
Kevin was not in a hurry. He stood at the boundary of light and darkness and continued, “There is no point in delaying. From the moment you stepped into the Goddess of the New Moon Temple, you were already exposed to her sight. You can’t hide, and you can’t escape. Stalling for time will only consume her patience, and it will bring you an even more tragic end.”
There was still no sound in the darkness, but something suddenly appeared in my line of sight and wobbled toward the stone door.
When I got closer, I realized that it was Julie!
To be more precise, it was Julie’s remnant soul, but this confirmed that her other half was here. And it was self-evident who Kevin had been talking to.
I silently prepared myself for battle. If the other side decided to fight to the death, Kevin’s small fishing rod-like body wouldn’t be able to withstand even a single claw.
Kevin’s expression did not change at the sight of Julie.
“This isn’t a show of weakness, but a provocation,” he said. “Under the goddess’s watch, you can only accept being captured. Anything else is considered a rebellion. Don’t be so na?ve and put up a stubborn resistance. The goddess needs not a broken soul but the murderer to be executed!”
These words were impolite!
I suddenly caught a faint breathing sound. It seemed that the person hiding in the darkness could no longer maintain his disguise and revealed his breathing. This made my entire body tense up even more as I prepared to punch the next soul or something that appeared at the door.
However, in the next second, I only heard a few soft laughs.
“You’re very smart, Master Kevin.” The man’s voice came from the darkness. “I think you intentionally released Julie’s remnant soul to bait me.”
Kevin did not answer.
“You even led me to this strange temple. If I’m not wrong, you’re the same as that strange agent the other day. You’ve abandoned the Moon Goddess’ trust and turned to the arms of this heretic god who came out of nowhere-”
“Mind your words!” Kevin was suddenly infuriated. The calmness that he had feigned vanished. “You have no right to judge these two tolerant and kind goddesses, much less to criticize my faith.”
“You little demon, when your father was licking the demon’s toes, didn’t he tell you to learn to bow and kneel in front of your demon master? You b*stard of the Evaria Family!”
I looked into the darkness in shock. Coincidentally, at this moment, the moths that were as quiet as stone on the light rack and the ground seemed to have been infected by Kevin’s anger. They rushed into the dark stone door.
Their black-gold wings, which looked like they were made of gems and crystals, shone with soft light, illuminating the dark room as if it were daytime. fre(e)webno(v)el
Under this light, I could finally see the interior.
The tall, gorgeous stone wall, the altar with exquisite curtains and soft beds, two identical pale women, and...
It was the handsome and arrogant young man below the altar.
The young man turned a blind eye to the threatening moths above his head. He calmly nodded at us and greeted us as if he was at a dinner party. “Good evening, my dear gentlemen.”
