Chapter 117: Annihilation

Evading that attack just now had not come without a price!

He kept retreating toward the statue and said in a deep voice,

"Friend, your abilities aren't exactly aboveboard either. There's no need for us to fight to the death. I only follow the Heretic God for power, and there's no conflict between us…"

There was no response. Masu maintained a high level of vigilance, faintly feeling that the other was always looking for a breach around him.

"These ghostly times are not peaceful; it's understandable to seek power. There's no need to risk your life for the big shots of the Floating City. People should live for themselves! Am I right?

"I only joined the Heretic God Church for self-protection too. I can quit. I still have my wits about me. What do you say to shaking hands and making peace?"
