Chapter 1165: Chapter 1166: A Tune For The Road

They decided to set up camp behind several giant boulders and protruding rocks that looked as though enormous swords had been impaled into the earth.

The center of the strange rock formation was littered with corpses.

Nothing remained of them except weathered bones bleached white by time.

Even so, it was outside the valley.

For that reason...

It was safe.

At least for now.

Back inside the valley, strange drifting shadows had begun to appear.

Each one resembled a former villager.

They wandered through the ruins, silently carrying out the same routines they had performed while alive.

Some swept invisible floors.

Others carried phantom baskets.

A few simply stood in front of homes that no longer existed.

Ranar couldn’t help but pity them.

However...

She also understood that going there would be dangerous.

As serene as it looked, it was nothing more than death wearing a familiar face.

The sight made her skin crawl.

Gunter walked over and stopped beside Ric and Ranar, noticing both children quietly watching the wandering shadows.

”Tch.”

”Some newcomers arrived in the city recently spreading rumors.”

”They said the God of this world, Aetherus, has awakened.”

He snorted.

”Didn’t even know this world had a god.”

”We do,” Ranar replied.

”It’s the Goddess of Doom.”

”Hah.”

Gunter scoffed, shaking his head at her innocence.

”She’s just something the Temple made up.”

”The only god that’s real...”

”...is the Unknown God.”

”And he’s one evil bastard.”

”You believe the Unknown God is real but not the Goddess?” Ric whispered, instinctively lowering his voice so the Rocs beyond the valley wouldn’t hear them.

”I do.”

”I believe it because he showed up.”

He shrugged.

”Maybe it was just a rumor.”

”But I believe it.”

”You know why?”

”Why?” Ranar asked.

Gunter stared toward the distant shadows.

”Because gods are wicked.”

”They might be creators...”

”But don’t think they create out of love.”

”Nothing is ever free.”

Ric remained quiet for a while before leaning back against one of the cold stone pillars.

”I don’t think it’s that simple.”

”My master told me true gods are absolute in power...”

”...but flawed at heart.”

He smiled faintly.

”Blind Old Daoist said something similar.”

”’If they have a heart... then they aren’t so different from us.’”

”Hahaha.”

Gunter let out a quiet laugh.

”Don’t tell me you’re one of those people who believes gods created us in their own image.”

He scratched the scar running across his face before grinning.

”If that’s true...”

”...then God must be pretty ugly.”

Ric slowly shook his head.

”I’m not religious.”

”Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs...”

”...so long as they don’t hurt others because of them.”

Ranar continued watching the wandering shadows.

A human heart...

She wondered...

If the Unknown God truly had a heart...

What would it be like?

Would he feel happiness?

Sadness?

Did he ever get lonely?

As the thought crossed her mind...

Something flashed before her eyes.

The world suddenly became still.

In her vision, she found herself desperately holding onto a beautiful angel.

The angel’s magnificent wings were stained crimson.

Blood flowed endlessly from her body.

Her stomach protruded noticeably.

She was pregnant.

And...

She was dead.

The hands clutching the angel...

...weren’t hers.

Blink.

The vision vanished.

”Huh?”

Ranar blinked several times before realizing Ric was gently shaking her shoulder.

”Huh yourself.”

”You zoned out.”

She scratched the back of her head awkwardly and laughed.

”Hehe...”

”Sorry.”

”I let my imagination run away with me.”

Ric sighed before handing her a hard piece of bread.

She accepted it with a grimace.

This was probably the worst food she had ever eaten.

Well...

At least it wasn’t rotten.

”Get some rest.”

”We leave tomorrow.”

Gunter’s voice echoed softly through the camp before he walked away to keep watch.

Ric sat down beside Ranar on the cold stone.

As the night deepened...

The mountain air became colder and colder.

Without saying anything, the two children quietly reached for each other’s hands.

Their fingers intertwined, sharing what little warmth they could.

After a long silence, Ranar spoke in a small voice.

”Will we be okay...?”

”Ric...”

”Are we ever going to go home?”

Ric narrowed his eyes slightly.

”Don’t call me Ricky.”

Only then did he close his eyes and lean back against the stone.

”We’ll be fine.”

When morning came, they set out.

Before they did, Gunter wanted to check whether the Rocs were still blocking the way.

When he carefully peered over the rocks, his expression immediately darkened.

There were even more of them.
