Chapter 288 - Island (5) (2/2)

「How greedy But this won’t work anymore Unless they’re fools」

Yeon-woo silently nodded his head He knew it too

The only reason why he had caught Duke Ardbad was because of the tihting for a while, and he had been focused on the fight with Waltz, so he didn’t expect any attacks fro, who knew to attack at that time

The Saber God was still the Saber God, no matter ho his level was, he definitely wasn’t weaker than Duke Ardbad

But now, these tricks wouldn’t work anyh shadoere possible, they would prepare for it as well

It was a sha he would lose anything froot over it

‘I can just think of another way’

Around the tihts,

Hwak!

Hanryeong finally appeared Light shi+ned through the cracks and settled down again

There was a Death noble wearing darkness where the light left Inferno Sight was blazing under his hel kneeled and bowed his head towards Yeon-woo

「Respects towards e for his oho had allowed him to walk a new path

When Yeon-as done with everything and came back outside onto the island, Heidi ran towards hi their breaks all stood up, tense

“Later tonight, we’ll set sail”

“……”

“……”

However, everyone just looked at each other in silence, and no one answered

Concern filled their faces

Just then, Heidi stepped up carefully She was most definitely the leader who represented them and spoke for them

“Isn’t it too early? If we leave now…”

“If you’re worried about seeing Triton and the Spring Queen again, you can stay here The choice is yours anyway”

Yeon-woo turned around They had no reason to be loyal to hi theh he didn’t know if they would survive there

The players all sighed If they stayed, the trial would expire because of the time limit They didn’t want to let that happen

There was nothing they could do but follow him

They hoped this ti would be tranquil and smooth

At the frantic movements of the old Cannibal Monster Humans, the sails spread apart A breeze started to blow, and the Ghost shi+p left the island

Around the ti!

Ka—

A large explosion and ball of fire ca destroyed as in its path

A huge earthquake followed, like a volcano had exploded

All the players on deck looked towards the bow of the shi+p

However, Yeon-woo, the receiver of the gazes, didn’t pay any attention to the island He was just looking at the sea path, focusing on Ceto’s holy artifact

The players sweated upon seeing hirateful towards Heidi

Actually, a few of them had considered whether they should stay on the island It was an island that had all necessary facilities, and they believed they could survive However, Heidi had stopped theo with her

If they had refused?

They would’ve been swept away by the fire along with the rest of the island The backs of their necks felt cold

Thankfully, they weren’t bothered while crossing the River of Souls this tiile pirate

It was strange that they could cross the river so couards, wary of any surprise attacks, and after a few days had passed…

[All trials have been completed This is the 29th floor, the ‘Land of Souls’]

The Ghost shi+p finally arrived on the land of the 29th floor

“W, We’re here!”

“The 29th floor! It’s the 29th floor!”

They ju life was over

Yeon-aited until the shi+p entered the port, and he lightly jumped dohen the shore of the river was nearer

Heidi dashed over to the edge and looked down

“A, Are you leaving?”

Yeon-woo looked up Heidi was looking at him with a concerned face

He silently nodded Their contract was only valid until they passed the 28th floor anyway They would figure out the rest

Heidi knew that, so she couldn’t stop him No, she didn’t even have a reason to

She had saved hiht conscience Rather, she was in the position where she could request soht now, it iser to put some distance between theers

Even while knowing that, Heidi felt like she should stop Yeon-woo

It ht’ve been the sixth sense of a woht’ve just been because she wanted to

“Later”

And when Yeon-woo spoke up, Heidi listened carefully to catch every single word he said

“If you want, come find me”

“If I want…?”

Yeon-woo’s words were like a puzzle to Heidi However, Yeon-woo just turned around and began to walk slowly into the horizon

Heidi looked at his back for a long tiage, I’d have scouted her, but I’ll give it soe of the 29th floor Heidi was like a diaain A dia to shi+ne

He wanted to take her for himself at once, but because there were too many people who depended on her, it would be hard to do that

Still, it wasn’t enough to give up on her completely, so he o look for her again when she became a jewel or have her find him instead

And just like that, Yeon-woo pushed the Ghost shi+p behind him and focused on his steps With his wide-open Draconic Eyes, he could see Triton’s location
