Chapter 107 - Groped by Saintess in front of Greed and Envy...

'Only 50m ahead, Partner?'

Mel sent a to the Saintess, her finger twirling idly on Rosana's hand over her shoulder.

[ Yep. I've confirmed with Gluttony and Saria earlier that it has been cleared out. ]

'Wow. The professor really was a force to be reckoned with.' Mel mused, sinking herself further into the comfort of Rosana's embrace.

The elf's eyes narrowed briefly, then glanced away, as if hiding some thought.

[ Gluttony has also figured out how the Cult controlled those different enchanted monster tribes. ]

'And it has to do with the crystals?'

[ Correct. More evidently, it was a byproduct. ]

Walking beneath the trees' shade, the group noticed crystal veins widening across the forest floor, which pulsed faintly with a root-like life of its own.

'Byproduct, huh?' Mel's grew heavy. 'All of this was a cult's experimental site?'

[ One of many sites, I'm afraid. ]

The elf sighed in the distance, prompting a curious glance from Rosana and Lila.
