When Richard finished speaking, the players, who were initially on the verge of a mental breakdown, seemed to regain a bit of vitality and hope.
However, their eyes were still filled with skepticism. After all, they had already been deceived by the Dark Moon Alliance once, or perhaps even twice.
The players had come to understand the ruthlessness and maliciousness of this organization backed by a deity. Why would they believe that just by handing over enough items after entering The Netherworld, they could truly free themselves from control based on Richard's words alone?
Moreover, it wasn't just the players marked with the Lunar Mark who were mentally exploding. The remaining players were also in shock.
On the surface, they seemed normal, still able to enter The Netherworld and gain contributions from the Dark Moon Alliance. But who couldn't see that the Lunar Mark was merely a conversion of the Lunar Restriction?
