Chapter 40: Julie Ekheart (1/2)

Chapter 41: Recorded Interview

“Why, you ask? Of course, it was to feed that damn demon beast It was raised especially by that backer, you see And it needed ranked entities to feed on”

Do in the world

“That’s absurd A demon beast will never be tamed by anyone if it’s not the blood ritual performed at the time of their evolution”

Julie refuted hiuy was too drunk to make sense now

“I said they raised the beast Not taht time for its steady evolution Don’t you know the hunters’ disappearance had increased long before the Osan woods’ disturbance was known to the populace?”

Eren said this in Do his bullshi+ttery again There would always be cases of hunters’ disappearances into the woods and more Not just here, but all over the world

Eren just linked those disappearances to a conspiracy People needed a reason to believe the lost hunters’ disappearances were a part of a bigger plot than soic beasts, terrains, circumstances, or rivals

Eren / fake Dom’s claims worked Julie and the audience around them suddenly realized that there was more to the sudden increment in death toll and disappearances

“But ould be crazy enough to raise a demon beast this way? If they were found out, they would be hunted by the entire kingdoh their rank is”

Julie said this and immediately felt she shouldn’t have asked the question The ht it to be

Maybe it would be in her best interest if she doesn’t know the identity of the one who raised a demon beast this way She wanted to retract her question and replace it with so from Dom:

“Hahaha! Julie, ohin a project of such scale and nitude would know about the risks involved in it beforehand?

Let’s just say there’s no fight between the killers codoain voiced and weaved a popular conspiracy theory A kingdom that keeps its citizens in the dark and obtains benefits through shady means

Conspiracies that discredit popular beliefs would always get sold like hotcakes, whether they were true or not This time was no different

“You mean…”

“What I h position to choose between two hard choices Either stay as a ht in the skies with a little push fro in the woods

I wanted to say no But his power and the things that he was offering in exchange were too hard to resist

That guy had always done things slowly and carefully till now But it looked like he was in a hurry all of a sudden He decided to expedite the process by sending a lot of sacrifices towards the beast in one go

That’s when he laid his hands on my party He offered me a deal To lure my party to an isolated location and sacrifice e for a sure shot way to break into D Rank and progress dom controls information like this so most of us stay stuck in lower ranks But I had the chance to break past these lily later on

That cursed demon beast evolved into a C Rank as a result The backer was able to ta the blood ritual

He also gaveany clues behind For our discretion, we had chosen an off route to exit the forest But… “

“But what?”

Julie asked anticipatingly

“But we reenhorns unexpectedly My backer wanted to keep his identity hidden so he killed them all brutally I suspect he would have killedcontract with hiainst him

I’ll meet up with my backer in the next few days outside the city and then leave the city of Osan for good But I need to enjoy lings my backer killed were loaded with money He didn’t need the money or any of their stuff So I kept some, sold some, and threw some
