Chapter 148: Got The Benefits

Lilith seemed relieved. She had shared her greatest secret with Damon, not out of trust, but because of his shadow. Otherwise, no amount of persuasion, or even torture, could have made her reveal such information. Still, she held back certain details, only offering enough to secure his cooperation—or at least to ensure he understood the inevitability of their shared collision course with the Temple of Doom.

Damon had clearly realized the weight of her revelation. His pale, stricken expression betrayed his thoughts, and Lilith couldn't help but smirk. If she didn't despise the Temple as much as she did, she might have shared his fear. It was natural, after all.

Unlike the devoted faithful, Lilith wasn't bound by worship of this mysterious god. In truth, this boundless entity seemed indifferent to faith or adoration. It had granted her magic attribute and awakened her first class when she prayed for power, but there was no attachment, no obligation to serve.
