Chapter 159: Descendants of the Beast King (1) (1)


    After several days, the basic tasks werepleted.


    The overhaul of the training system, the creation of administrative positions, and the rification of rules.


    It was not yet perfect, but it was a section that needed to be refined over time. Well, anyway, the operating system would slightly differ from that of Niflheimr.


    But then.


    I was in my personal room at the lodging, arms crossed.


    It waste evening. Anytng had disconnected. It was the time when everyone would be asleep.


    Theres one troublesome issue.


    A reporty on the desk.


    The report detailed the exclusive lodging for the third party.


    Originally, five beastfolks were supposed to stay in that forest, but now only one lives there. The four others had all died.


    It seems like Anytng tried to fill it.


    This summoning that brought the twin mages, its original purpose must have been to replenish the third partys ranks.


    But it did not turn out that way.


    It was, in a way, expected.


    The chance of summoning a non-human species was extremely rare.


    So, what this lone survivor does now is.


    Nothing.


    Thest time I saw Kishasha was exactly there.


    Standing dumbfounded in front of the columbarium that contained the relics of the fallen four.


    Since then, I never saw her again.


    If you look at Anytngs operation window, its clear that its stuck in the exclusive forest most of the time. He rarely looks at others.


    Sigh.


    A sigh came out involuntarily.


    I understand the situation, but.


    After pondering for a moment, I got up from my seat.


    I couldnt just leave it. Kishasha was the only natural 4-star in the waiting room.


    Having fought her in person, I knew of her potential. If I leave her alone, the fate of losing her was clear to see.


    Even if Anytng is reasonable, they wouldnt leave a useless hero unattended.


    Silent protests dontst long.


    I put on the sheathed sword and armor hanging on one wall.


    After drinking my cold tea, I left the room. I swiftly exited the darkened mansion and went down to the za on the third floor.


    I see you quite often these days.


    I ran into Velkist on the stairs.


    Whats the matter? At this hour.


    I came to deal with a neer who seems promising. What brings you out here at dawn, senior?


    Im going to see Kishasha.


    Hmm.


    Velkist stroked his chin.


    If shes sitting there, shes nothing special, right? Just leave her. What you do with strength if your spirit is too weak.


    Kishasha ended up like this partly because of me.


    You seem different from before, senior.


    How so?


    Youve be kinder.


    Kinder?


    Ill leave you to your babysitting. Take care.


    Velkist chuckled and passed me to go up the stairs.


    I didnt think so.


    The annihtion of the third party was indeed my responsibility.


    It was my decision to include Eolka in the mission. I was the one who dragged the third party, which only led to their demise. It was my mistake that needed to be repaid.


    Well, if Kishasha had been a worthless hero, I wouldnt bother doing this.


    Kinder.


    Thats just a hasty assumption.


    I smirked bitterly as I stepped out into the third-floor za.


    Passing through the darkened za, I headed towards the lodging. If you walk for a while down the hall from the entrance of the lodging and turn right


    Crunch.


    The sound of dirt and leaves being stepped on.


    The first time I came here, a noisy little one was hanging on my right hand.


    Now dead.


    I continued down the hallway.


    The metallic floor changed to dirt and grass.


    But there was no sign of life. It was hard to distinguish anything in the hallway, and only the chill could be felt from the once-fresh forest breeze.


    It seems like it hasnt been managed for a long time.


    Well, there was no need.


    I moved forward, crushing the dry leaves underfoot.


    It didnt take long to arrive at the exclusive lodging for the third party.


    The vige in the forest.


    This ce, decorated by Anytng for the beastfolks, now had no use.


    Once Kishashas treatment is decided, it will be demolished.


    Its quiet.


    A clear outline emerged from the darkness.


    The effect of the Night Vision skill. I walked down the forest path that stretched out from the center of the lodging.


    Kishasha.


    I murmured softly.


    Beastfolks have exceptionally keen hearing.


    She must have heard me clearly.


    Ivee to pick you up.


    I know youre there.


    I stopped in the clearing of the forest.


    The branches and leaves rustled annoyingly in the wind.


    Have you made up your mind? Come back. We need you for the mission strategy.


    Mission.


    I turned my gaze to the left.


    In the upper part of arge tree, within the dense leaves, a shadow flickered.


    Thats right.


    Whats the point? All of my folks are dead.


    There was no emotion in the voice.


    How does helping you humans benefit me?


    You can revive them if you reach the 100th floor. You know that.


    Is there a guarantee your words are true?


    None. But I think its a trustable word.


    Huhuhu.


    A coldugh echoed.


    I thought it would be okay at first. I am a worthy warrior of the Storm Tribe who went through theing-of-age ceremony. I am the sessor recognized by the Beast King.


    Thats right, youre a warrior. So


    But no.


    Go back.


    As expected, this was the response.


    I closed my eyes for a moment and then opened them.


    I dont me you. Its all my fault. My mistake led my folks to death. What pride is left for me?


    Do you know what will happen if you continue like this?


    I know. Yes, I know well. Ill die. Just die. Maybe thats not such a bad end.


    Pathetic.


    I shook my head.


    At that time, that girl was shining.


    But the Kishasha here is just a remnant?


    Am going to be consumed by you? What an honor.


    Really? And what are you going to do about it? Are you going to just sit there?


    No answer came back.


    Yeah.


    I had been expecting it in a corner of my mind.


    Its not the first time Ive seen this. There have been several simr cases in Niflheimr.


    When heroes lose all theirrades in a party, they often end up like this.


    So, I tried not to end up like this from the beginning.


    To not be swayed by anything. To avoid giving affection as much as possible.


    But in the end


    This is something.


    Peoples affection is sometimes strange.


    Even I cant fully understand my own heart.


    I understand, Kishasha.


    Go back.


    I dont want to.


    Click.


    I drew my sword from its sheath.


    In the darkness, the de gleamed coldly.


    You cowardly b$tch.
