What? No more fighting?

Do you think that by saying you want to stop fighting, you can just shake hands and make peace?

Seeing the enemy’s sudden decision to surrender, Ronald felt it was absurd.

If the other party had talked like this before the battle started, he would have been more than willing to communicate with this guy amiably.

However, it was this guy who initiated the surprise attack, and he attacked with full force without holding back.

Now, to unilaterally declare a ceasefire... there’s no such good fortune in this world!

"Light!" Ronald simply stopped the spell, uttering a single syllable.

The next moment, Costate, who had rushed from behind, handed the Absolving Sea Lantern to Ronald.

"!"

The enemy, who had already chosen to raise his hands in surrender, narrowed his pupils at the sight of the Absolving Sea Lantern.

Admittedly, he didn’t know the origin of the lantern in Ronald’s hand.

But just seeing the flame burning in the lantern, he felt an immense pressure on his spirit, with his survival instinct screaming—danger, extreme danger!

Even with his invincible iron body.

In front of the flame of this lantern, he was unlikely to gain any advantage, and it most likely wouldn’t have any effect at all!

"..."

Seeing Ronald about to make another move against him.

The enemy, realizing the danger, hurriedly waved his hands and continued in an urgent and tense voice:

"Wait! You all want to get out of here, don’t you?"

"In the seal of the Song Forest, I’m the only one who knows the way out. I think we can have a good talk!"

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ronald’s hand movements slowed down a bit.

The opponent’s statement indeed touched on his point of concern.

Getting into the Song Forest with Costate already required Ronald to use many abilities, but that was merely entering the interior from the outside.

As an existence sealing the ancient holy capital.

Just like the [Infinite Negative Domain], entering and leaving the Song Forest is not on the same level of difficulty, with the latter being more challenging.

So the proposal from the person before him, Ronald had to consider seriously.

Meanwhile, seeing Ronald start to ponder, the enemy who had chosen to surrender finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He lowered his hands and sat on the ground, presenting a completely defenseless posture:

"Humans, we really don’t need to continue fighting."

"Although we made a big commotion just now, neither side was hurt, so shaking hands and making up now would be the best outcome, wouldn’t it?"

"..."

Ronald did not respond verbally.

He just walked up to the other party with the Absolving Sea Lantern in one hand and the Saint Catherine’s Sword in the other, with a significantly vigilant posture.

The enemy who fought against them looked quite young.

Judging by appearance, he seemed to be just a young man of twenty-five or six, certainly no older than thirty.

Now, facing Ronald who walked over with the sword.

The opponent continued to maintain his previous attitude of surrender without any sign of defense or resistance.

After standing over him and observing for a while.

Ronald opened his mouth again:

"I will temporarily accept your surrender."

"But whether this attitude will continue depends on whether you will honestly tell me what I want to know."

Ronald stated his attitude but privately continued his actions without missing a beat.

During the conversation, he activated the [Sin of Greed] he could use again, targeting this guy.

——King of Giant Beasts · Orel.

——Human Form.

——A king among the Dust Giant Beasts. Possesses an unbelievably powerful physical body. It has a high level of strength and rapid healing capability and can transform flexibly and even significantly alter its size and appearance.

——Compared to ordinary Dust Giant Beasts, the King of Giant Beasts lost its ability to modify the environment.

"..."

For a moment, Ronald didn’t even react.

The implication from the [Sin of Greed] is that this human-sized guy is actually a Dust Giant Beast?

If not for the spell explaining the reason he could take on human form.

In any other situation, hearing such news, Ronald could never readily accept it.

"I respect the strong, so I’m definitely willing to cooperate with your needs." Meanwhile, the King of Giant Beasts in human form continued to speak eloquently, "Let me first introduce myself, I’m Orel, sort of the manager here."

"Ronald." Ronald simply stated his name and then went straight to the point in the conversation, "Then, Orel, now tell me the way to leave the Song Forest."

The King of Giant Beasts glanced at Ronald, his eyes reflecting curiosity about ’Are you in such a hurry?’

However, he did not reflect this curiosity in reality and instead answered immediately as if being controlled by a word spirit:

"There are two ways to leave the Song Forest. The first is to completely destroy this seal, and everyone can naturally leave freely."

Of course, Ronald wouldn’t choose this method, so he naturally asked:

"And the second way?"

Seeing Ronald’s inquisitive attitude, Orel smiled:

"The second way is naturally the secret I control."

As he said this, the King of Giant Beasts gestured towards the direction Ronald and Costate came from:

"Since you two could enter the Song Forest from the outside, you surely remember that great forest. Actually, by holding the corresponding ceremony in the forest where you entered this place, you can send people out of this world."

The King of Giant Beasts’ explanation quite matches the common sense on the mystical side.

But Ronald did not relax his vigilance and instead fabricated facts to extract information:

"But I did some research before coming, and in the past, I’ve never heard of anyone getting out of the Song Forest."

The King of Giant Beasts’ expression turned serious, and he responded in a serious tone:

"That’s because my duty is to guard the existence within the seal from escaping this world. And over the past years, I have somewhat successfully maintained this duty."

Ronald retorted:

"But in that case, if you send us out of the Song Forest, aren’t you going against your duty?"

The King of Giant Beasts shook his head:

"That’s different. You are intruders, and sending you away is just getting rid of what shouldn’t exist here."

"..."

Ronald fell silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with the King of Giant Beasts’ response.

After thinking for a few seconds, he continued to speak this time with a tone that was entirely different and more serious than before:

"Orel, if I’m not mistaken."

"Before the two of us, recently, should there have been others who arrived here as well?"

The surprise in the King of Giant Beasts’ eyes flashed but then he nodded frankly:

"That’s right, there were indeed people who came before."

"In fact, it was due to their misguidance and incitement that I decided to test the two of you, such powerful beings, in this trial that shouldn’t have occurred."
