Chapter 167: Chapter165-King of Sandworm (2nd update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)

As Ethan's consciousness delved into the peculiar statue, he instantly felt as if he were being drawn into a mystical space by a dazzling radiance—a result of the Magic Circle. 

Then he beheld the creature Baal had deemed 'ugly'.

"This is what Baal described as hideous?" Ethan gazed at the being before him and couldn't help but smile.

It appeared as a woman, naked, bound tightly by chains materialized from the Magic Circle, rendering her immobile. 

Only the delicate insect-like wings on her back fluttered faintly, indicating she was still alive.

Ethan's presence had evidently startled her.

"Who are you?" She opened her eyes, which were filled with ferocity, and directed the question at Ethan.

Rather than answering, Ethan retorted, "And who might you be? Dilaram claimed a deity's consciousness was sealed within this statue, did he not?"

"Dilaram!" At the mention of that name, the woman began to struggle violently.
