Chapter 162: The Monkey King’s Palace (6)

‘I’m too late’

Yeon-woo instinctively knew that he was a step late He was already quite far from where Kindred’s body was

He used his Shunpo, but the stone statue was e explosion, a dust cloud floated up Yeon-woo flipped the wind around with his Carshi+na’s dagger

Through his blurred consciousness, he could see so bloay It wasn’t Victoria It was Rebecca

Rebecca, who had been relatively closer, pushed Victoria out of the way and was hit with the spear instead

But it seemed like she hadn’t properly blocked the attack, because the spear had pierced her body and one of her swords was broken

Because it had been so sudden, she probably didn’t have enough tiy in the first test, so she wasn’t able to easily stop the attack

Andelse, because they were on the 20th floor where their senses were blocked, she couldn’t use all her skills

[Rebecca!]

Victoria shouted at Rebecca, as sacrificed instead of her Meanwhile, Kahn grit his teeth and quickly rescued her froe of attack

Yeon-woo belatedly arrived and spun his Magic Circuit around He stored Carshi+na’s dagger away and pulled out the Magic Bayonet instead An Aura blade swished out and clanged into the statue’s spear

Kwang!

[Hup!]

Yeon-woo took in a big breath subconsciously

It was an incredible attack Histo be pulled out He was pushed back

‘It’s strong!’

He knew that the large statues wouldn’t be coer now that he was actually face to face with one

He felt the statue bringing its sword down again

It was fast And heavy If he faced it head on, he would die He thought just now, he was only able to block the attack because of luck

[Ti abilities sped up In the sloorld, Yeon-woo quickly read his surroundings

Victoria had safely been rescued by Kahn Rebecca was breathing, but it was still very faint She was in danger

And aside fro with, the other 11th statues were probably going to startto

If the 12 statues all moved at the same time, no one here would survive

Then as he supposed to do?

‘I have to think Anything’

The only way to pass the 2nd test was to learn the 72 Arts But the Arts weren’t a cheap skill that could be learned in 5 minutes

So there was probably a reason why the aiven was so short

Or there was another way to stall for ti cathat you were qualified to be the Monkey King’s successor, and that was respect Or fear of the king

Then his faster thinking stopped, right before the spear hit Yeon-woo’s head

[Everyone down!]

Yeon-woo shouted with his Open Speaking And he bowed on the floor

This was a gamble If he succeeded, he could somehow earn some more time, or he would die But he would definitely die if he didn’t throw the die, so he had to try

And Yeon-woo felt Kahn and Victoria putting their heads on the floor like he said

In a very shortover his back

And when nothing happened, he was sure That his gae statue that had been attacking Yeon-woo, and the other statues all stopped Like tihtly lifted his head to see as happening When the statues began to ain

With this, he was sure

[Is it so]

Kahn ground his teeth together And he felt relief at the fact that he could momentarily catch his breath

[Rebecca…!!]

And Victoria called out Rebecca’s name several times Rebecca’s voice becaic soic power left Then Rebecca co Victoria sobbed

Yeon-woo and Kahn felt desolate Kahn bit his lower lip Even Yeon-ho didn’t really know Rebecca that well felt griain clenched their teeth at the pressure forcing their bodies down A heavy silence descended on the out?]

It was Kahn who broke the silence

[A bit]

[Can you share?]

Yeon-woo didn’t reply for a s He see about the 72 Arts And it was probably related to Doyle somehow

So he wanted to ask, but Kahn didn’t seem like he would answer He even seemed like he would die if they told hi Since if he had soht now, survival was first

No

He changed histo take the Monkey King’s inheritance’

He had no way of knowing if this was the last test There could be a 3rd and a 4th, and he didn’t like that they would have to struggle to survive every time

And he knehat Kindred and the Devil Arer would only be settled if he stole the Monkey King’s inheritance fros aside

‘Since it’s not only the 72 Arts’

It was known that the Monkey King had several treasures while he traveled to and froet those treasures as well

And the Magic Stick was so that Yeon-woo especially wanted He didn’t just want to use it If there was a holy artifact ht be able to understand the Black Bracelet a bit more

So Yeon-ondered whether he would be able to hoard the quest to hi the silence

He came to one result That there couldn’t be anyone to bother him

Then he didn’t want to leave any witnesses

To tell the harsh truth, he didn’t think that the powerless Kahn and the runeless Victoria would be of any help to him

First, he had to let them escape Thankfully, with his Extrasensory Perception and Draconic Eyes, he was able to find a small door next to the iron door

The door they had passed through was a door that only a king was supposed to pass through The door next to it was for servants

Yeon-woo gathered his thoughts and slowly opened his Open Speaking

[I think the purpose of this dungeon is to deter]

[Successor?]

At Kahn’s question, Yeon-woo answered with the things that he had figured out The successor of the king The shedding And how to qualify

[That definitely…ht Yeon-woo’s guess htly settled down Victoria nodded her head in agree that the tould’ve been able to guess themselves, but they hadn’t been able to be cool-headed with the continued attacks
