Chapter 429
Thump… thump…
As he climbed the stairs upward, Myeong-hu thought.
‘I thought there might be a trap…’
He had expected more guardians besides Raven. Or even if there weren’t, he expected traps.
‘Nothing at all.’
But contrary to his expectations, even after climbing for a long time, he saw no guarding presence or trap.
‘Was that the only one?’
Was Raven the end? Myeonghu pondered as he kept moving forward. Soon, Myeonghu arrived at a certain hollow.
[You have arrived at the midpoint.]
The moment he stepped into the hollow, a message appeared.
‘Midpoint…’
Swish
Realizing from the message that he was halfway there, Myeong-hu looked around. The message about the midpoint wouldn’t have appeared for no reason. There was definitely something here.
‘What’s that?’
Looking around, Myeong-hu realized his hunch was correct. At the far left end, a rock stood alone, emitting a faint green glow about 3 meters high.
Thump, thump
Myeong-hu moved toward the green rock.
“…There’s an entrance too?”
Was it because he was closer? The back of the rock, hidden from the lantern’s light, was now visible, and Myeong-hu could see the entrance.
‘An entrance leading upward.’
He couldn’t see inside, so he couldn’t be certain, but it seemed like an entrance leading upward.
Thud!
Myeong-hu soon arrived before the green rock. He shifted his gaze from the green rock to the signboard embedded in front of him.
