KIHO didn't want to admit it, but the ball of divine power in his hands was getting hotter and hotter as time passed by.
Hence, he had no choice but to cover his hands with his serpent scales.
It temporarily protected his skin from getting burned, but he had a feeling that the heat coming from the ball of divine power would melt his scales soon.
[I didn't know the Holy Scepter has this much power.]
It wasn't the first time he had seen the Holy Scepter, but he didn't remember it being this powerful– especially when it hadn't taken its original form yet.
[What changed?]
<"My lord, please hold onto the Holy Scepter until the Saint gets here,"> the semi-transparent deity begged him. <"If you let it go now, we might lose it forever.">
[It's the deity who put my son in this situation…]
"You don't have to tell me what to do," Kiho said indifferently. "I know what to do for my family."
He didn't mean to be rude.
