"Don't say things that will make my skin crawl," the vengeance deity replied.
"Let me slit their throats; when cutting grass, one must remove the roots," Lamia, who had been following behind Aiden, suggested, echoing the vengeance deity's opinion. Qiqimora had set their "stealth" to be visible only to Aiden.
"No killing without my say-so," Aiden stopped her.
"I say, you haul my believers here to die with these people, and now you're playing the merciful one?" the vengeance deity suddenly sneered.
"Don't rush; they are still useful," Aiden thought back.
