The target of the Blank Worms has been the beggar priestess who acts as the guide from the very beginning.
They want to devour the priestess's authority in order to open the sealed gateway of the Thirty-Three Sectors and invade to plunder the books inside.
The attack Tang Qi endured before was a counterattack he received after his own assault.
In other words, if Tang Qi were to leave now with Rose and Alice Five, the Blank Worms wouldn't do anything to the three of them.
Unfortunately, Tang Qi won't do that.
Not just because of his own methods, but also due to the thirty-two "Roses" currently facing the risk of annihilation.
The first sector to the thirty-second sector, none were spared, all encountered invasion.
And now, Tang Qi and Rose are still unaware of how many Blank Worms have invaded, nor do they know what the other Rose Madelines are experiencing.
Even worse, they still don't know.
What on earth are the Blank Worms?
"Snap!"
