Ma Lu found the Ouroboros Serpent wandering the streets, looking utterly lost and disoriented.
Yun Que rushed forward and embraced her, "Ah, A'She, it's such a relief to see you're alright! I thought you were really buried under the chapel."
However, upon seeing them, the Ouroboros Serpent's face showed a hint of shame, and she murmured softly, "I'm sorry, I... I didn't know it would turn out like this..."
"Are you talking about the destruction of the Holy Stone?" Ma Lu raised an eyebrow.
"Shrike never mentioned the Holy Stone to me. I was ordered to take advantage of the chaos to kidnap the Pope and free the witches in the city. All our preparations were for this mission," she said with a bitter tone.
"That wasn't a backup plan," Ma Lu said, "From the beginning, her goal for all the actions was to destroy Holy Temple City."
