Chương 541: Return [6]

'Betray her?'

How did I even betray her?

I wanted to mouth those words, but I found myself unable to look away from those deep black eyes of hers. I could only silently purse my lips before explaining myself.

"She… has something that I need."

"I can give it to you."

"No, you can't."

"…."

Ah, her gaze feels piercing. My eye twitched and I found myself hurriedly speaking again.

"The entity within me. It's still not clear. Kiera has a certain item that can help me get rid of it."

".…Is that all?"

"Yes."

"Then you don't have to worry."

"Hm? What?"

I don't have to worry?

I was confused. How exactly did I have to not be worried? I knew that the seal the previous Cleric had placed on me was strong, but I felt it weaken the moment my progression increased once again.

It was like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any second.
