"What are you going to do then?" I asked.
"I will search for Valen," Saint Maverick said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because whatever I can do with my individual power now is negligible. But if I can get Valen's soul to interpret my commands, he can assist us inside this domain."
His reasoning was sound.
With Judy staying to help the rest of us search, Saint Maverick's absence wouldn't hurt our chances.
But there was another problem he wasn't thinking about.
"The fact that Valen hasn't reappeared, nor caused any disturbance, means three things.
"One, he was killed by the God's hammer.
"Two, he was killed by Ghoul Valen.
"Three, he's trapped somewhere because of the gazes of the shadowy beings. Even if you go there, you can't do anything," I said.
"You are correct," Saint Maverick admitted. "The probability that Valen can assist us is only twelve percent. But that probability is higher than what I can achieve alone, which is three percent."
