Chapter 325: Personal Cleaner
Chapter 325: Personal Cleaner
“Kill him!” Aria ordered the demon.
The demon grabbed the leader’s head in his palm and crushed it like one would crush an empty can of juice or soda.
The blood splattered across the floor and got mixed with the blood of other players.
“….”
“….”
The church was filled with silence. A holy place to pray and worship the lord was used to prey, and the demons helped in the act.
Things couldn’t get any weirder for Ninia. Until a few minutes ago, it was a peaceful night where everyone was sleeping, and it turned into a bloodbath.
Elina was quivering in fear, and she had fallen to her knees. She covered her mouth with her hand to resist the urge to puke, but she couldn’t hold it.
It was a natural reaction for a little girl like her. After all, killing someone might be easy, but the feeling of guilt and regret that came with it was also unfathomable.
‘What if I had made a simpler approach?’ She asked herself the same question again and again. But what she did was the right thing to do.
Aria made eye contact with Victoria and pointed her gaze at Elina, who was having a hard time.
Victoria nodded and patted Elina’s back to make her feel better.
p??da n?vel “Let’s go outside for some fresh air,” she said in a calm voice and took Elina out of the church.
Aria walked to Ninia and hugged her before rubbing her back.
“It’s okay. Don’t worry. Everything is alright,” she said calmly.
“But because of me…. Elina and your nametag turned red…” Ninia stuttered on her words.
“That’s okay. No one cares about that. And besides, Zach also has a red nametag. Now we match,” she chuckled softly.
“Ten people died because of me, and a little girl became a killer. I have committed a major sin…”
“You did not. Zach would have done the same thing. Why do you think he left his summons in the church?”
The church had become Zach’s sanctuary, where he left his summon to safeguard Ninia. Of course, he took her permission before allowing the demons to set foot on the holy land, although Ninia had told him that he needn’t have to ask her, as he was the God of the church.
“If I had just taken them to the vault… the situation wouldn’t have escalated…” Ninia muttered with a gloomy face.
“Listen, that’s not the case. As Zach had said before, an evil person doesn’t need a reason to do an evil act, they only need an excuse. Even if you had taken them to the vault, there was no guarantee that they wouldn’t have killed you.”
“But…”
“And if Elina hadn’t come on time, the summons would have caused an uproar. It seems that they were sleeping and woke up after smelling the scent of the blood. And believe me, it’s better than the matter was solved instantly.”
Ninia raised her head and asked, “What do you… mean?”
“If his summons had informed Zach, he would have rushed back here. ANd currently, he is spending time with Aurora, who is his favorite. Zach wouldn’t even have listened to the thugs and killed them cruelly on the spot,” Aria asserted.
“You are right…” Ninia glanced at the dead bodies and averted her gaze before asking, “What are we going to do about the bodies? Should we bury them outside? I will do a small prayer for them, but—”
“There is no need,” Aria interjected and glared at NInia. “You are far too kind, Ninia. They tried to kill you and Elina. How can you even think of praying for them?”
“Everyone deserves a chance to atone for their sins. Even if they are dead, they need forgiveness,” Ninia muttered meekly.?.?.??.? n.?.?.??
“No, they don’t.”
“Didn’t you see the leader? He regretted his actions. It was all over his face.”
“Sometimes, it is too late to regret. You can’t do anything about it. And you know what, I wish Zach was here. He would have smacked some sense into you,” Aria uttered furiously. “Maybe I should message him and call him here to—”
“No, please! NInia grabbed Aria’s hand so she couldn’t type. “There is no need to call him. I don’t want him to hate me.”
“Ah…” Aria soon regretted her words. She was so lost in anger that she forgot about Ninia’s feelings for Zach. And as a girl who loved Zach, she knew how painful it would be to be hated by the man she loved.
“Don’t worry. I was just joking. I wouldn’t do that to you. We are friends, right?” Aria said in a calm voice and a gentle smile on her face.
Ninia meekly nodded but kept her gaze lowered.
‘I should get rid of the bodies first….’ Aria thought.
Aria turned to the altar and uttered, “Cerberus, are you there?”
“…”
“Cerberus, can you hear me?”
[I do not like to be ordered by someone other than my liege, but I will make this one an exception.]
A few seconds later, a mini-Cerberus emerged from the shadow and stood in front of Aria.
“What happened to your mighty size?” Aria asked with a confused and curious look on her face.
[I learned to change my size as per my wish. There were times when I felt useless and couldn’t aid my liege because of my size. But now, I can,] he said with a proud face.
“I see…” Aria sighed with a dazed expression on her face. “Anyway, can you gather the bodies and eat them?”
Cerberus stared at Aria for a few seconds before saying, [Do you see me as a dumpster?]
“How rude! I said this because I thought you would be hungry! You should be thanking me instead. Hmph!” Aria scoffed arrogantly.
However, she was lying. She simply wanted to get rid of the bodies by any means possible.
[I will eat them.]
Cerberus slowly ate all the players and licked the blood from the floor, making it stainless.
‘Personal cleaner…’ Aria uttered inwardly.
