Chapter 275 – The hoarder (15)

Yeon-woo’s expression hardened He earing a mask, but his expressions could still be seen

‘It’s…Jeong-woo’s necklace’

Yeon-woo examined the necklace as he approached the skeleton It was a necklace of red rubies

Though it was da-woo had presented this to Lana while practicing his y skills

It almost lost all its function as an artifact, but the corpse was still gripping it tightly like it was precious

‘What happened?

Lana was extreh to make his brother see her as his teacher Also, this was the Quartz Palace, which not even the Eight Large Clans could find He couldn’t believe that she had been assassinated in a place like this

The proble time since the corpse was left alone

He wondered if there would be a vestige left He needed to find out what happened as soon as possible

Yeon-woo pulled black energy out to blow it into the corpse

The black energy didn’t enter it, most likely because the river had corroded it toowhat he should do, so occurred to him

‘What if I force it?’

He activated the 3rd Spirit to the extreme He knew that its functions had increased quite a bit with the Blessings from Azrael

However, he had never tested it out, so he didn’t knoould happen

Black energy was energy that caht maybe it would be possible to somewhat reverse the time of a corpse, even if it had been a while since its death

Fortunately, he was right

The black energy that kept on being flicked aas absorbed into the skeleton Then, a whitish hue stood up

Blue hair and black, burnt skin She looked weary, but she was still the same Lana from the diary

『Lana, do you knohere you are?』

Yeon-woo spoke to her through Consciousness However, Lana didn’tdown Her eyes looked dead

‘Only her vestige woke up I suppose I can’t coe Body was only e that were left in the corpse It was merely a collection of her memories

He would be able to knohat happenedany other option, Yeon-woo put his hand on Lana’s Vestige Body

Then, it scattered, and all its memories poured into his head

Even the last desperate emotions that she had – all of it

Hwak!

-Benteke! How could you…!

In theat someone She was once called the ruler of the River of Souls, and if all her subordinates were gathered, they wouldn’t fall short of the Eight Large Clans But that was not the case in this memory

She had done whatever she could to revive her forces

She had sold all her precious treasures to gather forces and allied herself with enee Clans

At first, she had thought it would take about 10 years, but things progressed faster than she thought

Not only could she revive all her past forces, but she could grow theer than before Then, she would restart the war

She would make those who destroyed her precious disciple wander around the River of Souls, unable to e her disciple by also destroying the Eight Large Clans

However, one incident ruined all her plans

The subordinate that Lana cherished the uy, so there were anized killed all her guards

She could see the cracking barrier, the river water pouring in, and her subordinates suddenly being attacked

Lana grit her teeth and shouted at the person who had caused all this

It was the first time she looked that furious since her disciple died

However, he calmly walked down the hall that was littered with corpses

Even though he had broken the necks of his co with, he didn’t bat an eyelid There were no signs of sadness or happiness on his face He looked cold and apathetic, like he had never been the a, Lana My precious fiancé You’ll never know that this was all caused by what you did

-What kind of bulls is that!

Benteke He was Lana’s right hand Also, he was her lover

Because he also knew Jeong-ell, they had had soether, too They weren’t comrades or friends, but they were definitely acquaintances

Also, he was Poseidon’s apostle

The 12 Gods who sy behind being the apostle of one of the her floors, Benteke was reat help in the Blue Rose establishi+ng their power on the 28th floor

However, he had caused this coup Lana hadn’t been able to do anything because it was so her most trusted advisor had done

She never would’ve i like this

Even though he always had drinks and wo lovers, and caused the occasional trouble, Lana was also a free-spirit, and she didn’t care about those aspects Rather, this was the reason why they got along better

But why had such a person done this?

-Look Things have gotten to this, but you still don’t know

Benteke didn’t have the warm face that he always had when he looked at his lover Instead, he looked corowled like a lion

-Cha Jeong-woo, Cha Jeong-woo, Cha Jeong-woo! You don’t see that your subordinates are tired every ti us all into hell

-What…!

-If you don’t know, just stay ignorant like that your entire life If it’s easier for you to think that way, go ahead

Benteke continued, crinkling his eyes

-No If you can’t even think about it, accept it like this You always used to say that ‘The strongest takes all’ Right now, I’, and you’re weak What would happen if I take everything you have?

-Bentekeeee!

Lana couldn’t suppress her anger and ran at Benteke

It wasn’t widely known, but Lana was the apostle of the Goddess of the sea, Ceto She was as powerful as Benteke

Kwang!

With a rough explosion, half of the Quartz King Palace was bloay

Then, like the vestige was cut off, Yeon-woo saw a new scene

In the ruins of the battle, where all the fighting had stopped, Lana was left all alone on her throne The river water had filled up to under her chin, and her body ic power in the fight with Benteke and didn’t have any strength left to stop it It was horribly painful, but she didn’t care

She just quietly pulled out the necklace that protected her, even though everything around her was destroyed, and gripped it in her hand
