Meanwhile, outside the empty underground church, the sound of footsteps suddenly echoed.
Soon, a tall man wearing a white mask, inscribed with the character "Merchant," walked in.
This man was one of the leaders of the Merchant Organization who recently detected the energy fluctuation at the underground church and decided to investigate.
When the White Mask walked into the underground church and saw the empty sanctuary, he slightly raised his eyebrows under the mask.
His fingers brushed lightly over a rod leaning against the wall, and the pad of his finger was stained with a layer of still-warm grease. The smell drifting from the rod, combined with the extinguished campfire beside it, indicated that someone had been roasting meat here not long ago.
But now... there wasn't a single living soul in sight.
