Chapter 157 The Monkey King’s Palace (1) (1/2)

[What kind of crap is that?]

Yeon-woo and Kahn’s head whipped to where Victoria was. They weren’t the only ones.

The other 2 Sadhu on the mountain were looking in that direction as well. The two that Yeon-woo hadn’t been able to meet even by coincidence were greatly shocked.

The trees violently shook on the mountaintop from everyone’s shocked thoughts.

[I’ll tell you the specifics here. Come to Kindred’s house. Even if you don’t want to come…..just.]

Victoria’s voice ended there.

Kahn shut his mouth. He had barely mustered the courage to tell Yeon-woo, but he missed the timing.

Yeon-woo didn’t have the mind to listen to Kahn either. He was extremely confused right now.

‘Dead? The bishop of the Devil Army? Why?’

[Sigh…..]

Victoria sighed, leaning on the chair. She was also greatly shocked right now.

Kindred. Rumors about him had declined because he had spent 10 years on the 20th floor, but people who knew him trembled in fear.

He laughed with a mischievous face, killing people, and hummed while spilling blood. All those who met him would tremble in fear.

And Victoria knew Kindred’s hidden identity. A bishop of the Devil Army. He was the second bishop, and extremely strong.

When Victoria first arrived here, she was trapped in fear because of Kindred. She didn’t want to get on his bad side.

But as the time she spent on the mountain went on. Her thoughts about Kindred changed.

Kindred was respectful. He was a bit fierce, but he never forced anything on others, and didn’t speak about religion.

Rather, there were times when Victoria received help from him. When she needed something, he helped her, and he was a good listener.

As long as she kept some distance from him, he was a good person to lean on.

And although Victoria still felt some fear, she thought she could think of him as a close acquaintance. And Kindred probably felt the same.

So that’s why he asked her to do that before he suddenly died.

-You have magic that can track me, right?

-I didn’t do th…..!

-I’m not saying you did. I’m asking if you can. Anyway. You can, right?

-Yes.

-Then I’ll ask for a favor.

Kindred had never asked her for anything during the time she spent on the mountain, so she was surprised.

The contents of the favor were simple.

To cast magic to track her, and retrieve his corpse if the signal was cut off.

Victoria didn’t understand why Kindred was talking about his death, but Kindred had prevented her from asking more.

Telling her that she would be able to know everything if he died.

‘He said that he would set things up so all quests he had would be given to her.’

Kindred said that the tier of his quest was pretty high, so she could try to finish it or just leave it alone if she wanted to. Saying that it was the price for retrieving his body.

Perhaps Kindred had expected his death.

‘A death on the 20th floor. And a high ranker at that…..’

Of course, that didn’t mean that there weren’t any lives lost on the 20th floor. Losing all your senses would put you in plenty of dangerous situations.

But Kindred was different. There wasn’t a reason why someone who had cleared the 76th floor should die here. Just what were the contents of the quest? Just what had been hidden there to cause this incident?

All kinds of thoughts messied Victoria’s mind, but she was sure of one thing.

That it was the thing that Kindred had searched for for 10 years, and he had died during that process. And she wasn’t sure of her abilities to be able to retrieve Kindred’s body herself.

Eventually, Victoria decided to seek help from the other Sadhu.

She could feel a tense atmosphere descending around his house.

Victoria slowly stood up from her spot.

‘This seems to have been Kindred’s house.’

Yeon-woo was surprised seeing the neatly organized hut.

The trees and stones around it were tidy, and he felt his mind relax seeing it.

He wouldn’t have imagined a bishop of the Devil Army would have this kind of hobby. Maybe this was how he relieved stress.

Kahn also had a slightly surprised face like he was thinning the same thing.
