Chapter 193: Mushroom God

'Zeriav' was quiet at this for a while, and Cermin sweated nervously. He was already dripping in cold sweat when he woke up because of his nightmares about that ghost.

"I understand, but…." 'Zeriav' hesitated a bit.

"You do know that he is becoming a daemon, don't you?"

Cermin nodded with a look of regret. "It was my fault. I should have been there to protect him from being turned."

'Zeriav' gave Ronin one long look, and eventually said. "I understand, but he is a detriment to your safety. So…."

"Let me join you, and we can stop him in case he harms others because of his transformation."

Cermin's eyes widened. "You want to travel along with me and Ronin? But you hated him—"

"We don't know yet what he could be capable of. But he might suddenly lash out due to the hold of darkness over him." 'Zeriav' scoffed. "My conscience can't take it if you have saved me…."
