Chapter 701: God

"I am the spirit of the god that was once worshipped in this temple," it finally hissed, its voice echoing off the crumbling walls.

Yu Holea's eyes stayed sharp. "Do you know a boy around ten or eleven years old?" she asked.

The spirit chuckled darkly, the sound sending a chill through the air.

"Yes," it whispered. "I know him. I have already eaten his soul."

Yu Holea's lips curled into a small, cold smile.

"Is that so?" she said softly. "If you don't hand over the boy right now, I'll exorcise you on the spot."

The spirit let out a loud, mocking laugh.

"You're overestimating yourself, mortal," it sneered.

"I was once a god, praised by all. I have more power than you could ever dream of."

Yu Holea chuckled back, her eyes gleaming with confidence.

"And now, you're nothing more than a joke," she replied smoothly.

"No one remembers you. You're just a bitter shadow clinging to an abandoned temple."
