Chapter 96: Your Word

The world surrounding us made a tremor, causing the already mixed and matched books to shuffle once more. We did not even have the chance to view the insides of the library as Match and I barely maintained our balance.

I reached out for Match's hands and held her tight, not wanting to slip her from my sight. We stayed intertwined with each other for a couple of minutes, waiting for the sudden shake to die down.

But as soon as the library turned silent, another problem emerged from the surface of the cavern.

"Find NPCs around this forest!"

"Leave none alive!"

"Sir, yes, sir!"

Those voices came from the sounds of the soldiers marching through the woodland, hunting down our kind. Although it was impossible for us to perceive their conversations, Match and I heard the players with ease. It was as if the library itself made it possible for us to pry in their goals.
