Chapter 401

BANG!
[You have defeated the traitor.]
[Acquired a Curse Fragment.]
[Cursed Fragments Currently Collected: 69]
“Hmm.”
After defeating the last traitor, Myeong-hu turned his gaze from the message to look at Haran.
Swoosh
The light waves emanating from Haran’s body were gradually diminishing in size, perhaps because all the traitors were dead. Soon, the light waves vanished completely, and Haran spoke.
-Thank you.
As she always had, Haran expressed her gratitude to Myeonghu. Then, she began walking again.
Thump, thump
As Haran walked, Myeonghu followed, thinking to himself.
‘When will we arrive?’
Quite a bit of time had passed since they entered this place. Yet, not only was there no sign of the Cursed Pillar, there wasn’t even anything remotely resembling it. He wondered when they might finally reach their destination, the Cursed Pillar.
‘Should I ask?’
Myeonghu considered asking Haran how much further it was to the Cursed Pillar. But the moment the thought crossed his mind, he sensed Haran’s heavy atmosphere and had no choice but to hold back his question.
It was right then.
Thud!
Haran stopped walking.
‘Already?’
Myeong-hu couldn’t help but feel a little flustered when Haran stopped walking.
‘It hasn’t been that long?’
Harran stopping meant one thing: a traitor had appeared. Yet just moments ago, Myeonghu had dealt with the traitors.
Considering the pattern of traitor appearances so far, Haran stopping now felt a bit premature.
