Cale reached the end of the hallway and reached for the white door.

There was no doorknob. So he had to push it.

Cale looked back for a moment before pushing the door. It was the hallway he passed. The hallway on the other side was still blocking the place.

It would take some time for his other allies to get here.

‘In the meantime, let’s deal with White Star.’

His plan was simple.

Cale gave strength to his hands.

Creak.

The door swung lightly and opened easily.

Cale did not let go of his tension. Because he did not know what was beyond the door. Still, he held on to his tension since he had just attacked Sealed God in the last test.

‘Check the space beyond the door and move right away!’

Bang!

The fully opened door turned and slammed against the wall.

The god had said.

‘When the test is over, go to the end of the temple. When you arrive there, there will be a statue on the wall. You just have to embrace it.’

Cale saw an altar in front of him.

And he saw a wall in the end.

He finally reached the end of the temple.

Countless hands stretched out towards the sky on the wall.

Sculpted on the wall was a figure standing on those hands.

It was a human dressed in white clothes with a long train.

The engraved figure had long hair fluttering in the wind and benevolent-looking eyes.

Even though it was a sculpture, it looked quite beautiful.

That was it.

That was the statue.

It all happened in a really short moment.

Cale had opened the door and looked at the statue that caught his eyes.

“Damn--”

The eyes were red gems.

Just when Cale recognized it.

“Damn it, that jerk god!”

Red light headed towards Cale.

That faint red light.

Cale had definitely seen it. That red aura was the power in the scythe that the sealed god had used.

The power of despair.

‘As I thought, I shouldn’t trust that god!’

Cale thought that the god of despair had no power outside the illusion.

But the inside of the temple was the realm of the sealed god.

If Cale had accepted the deal and opened the door without thinking, he would have been sacrificed to the sealed god.

‘White Star would have been sacrificed, as well as me.’

He could be sure of that.

Because the sealed god had said that White Star was originally a sacrifice for them.

They would not miss that opportunity. That jerk god.

“Okay, fine.”

Cale took out the golden plaque and threw it towards the red light.

“It’s convenient to do it all at once.”

A single streak of red light shot out of both eyes and collided with the golden plaque, causing an explosion.

Baaaaaang-!

The golden plaque quickly cracked and shattered.

The medium was broken.

The being sealed inside would soon come out.

Cale strengthened his grip on the root dagger. The corners of his lips naturally rose upwards.

Whoosh.

With the wind, his body flew towards the place of the explosion.

Paah!

At the same time, a silver shield and two wings wrapped around Cale.

Cale threw the diary into the air.

A diary containing the Annual Rings of Life ancient power.

-It’s my turn now. Be careful!

The moment Drew Thames shouted in a small voice.

Flutter-!

The red diary unfolded, and in an instant, red leaves appeared and wrapped around Cale.

Just like the time he had encountered this power, red leaves resembling his hair swirled around him.

Cale’s eyes shone.

Red smoke formed around his eyes, instantly turning his eyes bright red.

‘Before the sealed god does something else, I’ll get rid of White Star in an instant.’

In only a very short time.

It would be possible to do, even if he was only given a moment.

Smile.

As Cale’s smile deepened, his eyes met with the loathsome foe wearing a white mask.

“Did you rest well?”

It had been a long time since he had greeted his enemy.

Now this excruciatingly tiresome relationship would be over.

So Cale had not seen it.

In a blind spot that was not at the front of his sight when he opened the door.

Clopeh Sekka was quietly crouching there and installing the fifth automatic video storage device, but then widened his eyes at the sudden situation.

And on the other side of the hallway. The entrance, which had been blocked by the destroyed marble rubble, shook. As if someone was poking around with a stick or sword.
