279 When All Your Preparations Were All For Naught

(MC POV)

"Sorry, who are you?" I blurted out.

She tilted her head at me, "I am Lilith. Are you just a passer-by? How unfortunate you must be then. Still, they have not offered enough so I will need to have you die too."

I felt a weight rest on my shoulders, trying to push me down.

It was rather weak so I just shrugged it off and continued to regard her, "So you were what they were trying to summon?"

"You didn't even know that? Wow… You must be really lost then. Curious though, you didn't explode in a fountain of blood from that… Now I'm interested in who you are now."

Before I could come up with some witty response, a bunch of Dark Sect members entered the hall dressed in some kind of ceremonial garb.

"Mother Lilith! Glory to your name O blessed one! We grant you… Wait, who the? Master Lin?! That alarm was you?!" The one leading the processions screeched when he saw me.
