Recovery Period

For the sake of safety, Rhode eventually decided to destroy the tunnel connecting to the altar. Back when it was a game, the choices you make may end up with a different ending. However, just in case, Rhode still chose to be cautious. After Celia surveyed the surroundings and confirmed that there were no leftover traces of demons, Rhode detonated the entire whole underground mine and escaped from the tunnel, secretly returning to surface. With the exception of Old Walker, no one knew what Rhode had done. In fact, even Old Walker didn't know much. As for the residents of the underground, the explosion was merely "just another collapse", which was not unusual to them.

However, for the next few days, Deep Stone City was rowdy. The cause of this uproar wasn't because of the collapse of the underground mine, but rather, it was something that affected all of Paphield's mercenaries.
