Chapter 161: Descendants of the Beast King (3) (2)
Then she looked at .
You know, it would be more beneficial for
to step down than Velkist. My role isnt sothing only I can do. If its just reconnaissance, Jenna is there, and this beastwoman can do it too. So please remove .
I sighed and then spoke.
If you step down on your own, you can never co back. Do you understand what youre saying?
Yes, Im prepared.
There wont be a place for you in other parties either.
I know.
Neryssa!
Ignoring Velkist completely, Neryssa continued.
I know the waiting room work is busy. If you entrust it to , I think I can handle it smoothly. Soone has to do it anyway.
As Neryssa said.
For
to focus on tower assault, soone needed to take over the sub-master duties. But this wasnt the way I wanted it to happen.
Han, can I step down now?
Kishasha stretched in the arena.
Standing tall, I slowly nodded.
This is unbelievable.
As Kishasha passed by, Velkist spat out.
You tell us to prepare for a selection match, and this is how it ends?
Dont let your emotions control your judgnt. Efficiency cos first. Its better for
to step down here.
Neryssa spoke coldly.
Then, with softened eyes, she looked at Jenna.
Jenna can take over my role.
Did you teach
those weird things just for this?
Jenna looked dumbfounded.
I sat down, crossed my arms, and plunged into thought.
The worst possible way to form a party is to forcibly take along mbers who dont want to be there.
Id like to talk to you alone.
Neryssa spoke demurely.
That woman seems out of her mind. Its not even worth listening to.
Clear the room.
I spoke in a low voice.
Kishasha was the first to leave, followed by Jenna, who had been contemplating the entire ti. Velkist, who had been glaring at Neryssa until the last mont, left the training ground.
Now its just the two of us.
Neryssa chuckled bitterly.
What are you thinking? Suddenly saying youre leaving.
Its not sudden. Ive been thinking about it for a while.
You gave a whole speech about survival when you joined. Whats changed? Ill say it again, its not over just because you lose to her. There are always opportunities. Ill help you guys too.
Despite that, Neryssa shook her head.
She seed to have made up her mind.
Why?
When I first arrived here, I couldnt trust anyone. Everyone felt like an enemy except for myself.
Neryssa looked down.
Just, my thoughts have changed a bit.
I dont really get it.
Just as I said.
Neryssa took a few steps away from .
Her deep blue hair swayed.
If it were you, I thought it would be okay to entrust the princess to you.
What?
Neryssa turned her back to .
Her collar slowly slipped down, revealing the curve of her shoulder and gradually the contours of her body.
That is
On the curve of her waist.
A strange pattern was engraved.
It looked like a rose and emitted an ominous light.
This is called the Twilight Mark, a special technique of the Halkion family. Its a magical pattern that compels absolute obedience to its master.
Besides, it has several other functions: physical enhancent, brain function improvent, shortening lifespan while maintaining youth, and mory enhancent.
Neryssa continued.
For so reason, the pattern remained even after coming here.
I see.
She had ntioned she was from Halkion.
She didnt speak highly of them.
I said,
Do you still have mories from your lifeti?
Yes. Most of them ca back to
as I leveled up.
Neryssa redressed.
The afterimage of the pattern lingered before my eyes.
Neryssa began to explain.
She was originally a noble, but during a power struggle, her family declined, and she was sold into slavery. Then, she received a special curse from the Halkionfamily and was sent as a gift to the second princess of the empire.
Princess Priasis Al Ragna. She was my master. She didnt treat
as a slave. She seems not to rember
though.
Neryssa said.
This world was created for the restoration of Townia, wasnt it?
Having her mories back.
Denying it wasnt an option now.
I nodded.
I thought you knew already. Although I had my suspicions.
Neryssa smiled slightly.
When will the others learn the truth?
After the 40th floor.
Level 40.
The restriction for 4-star promotion is lifted.
I recalled my ti as a Master.
Theres a clear difference between 3-star and 4-star.
Its not about ga performance. Their attitude towards missions was different.
4-stars know.
The common point between Kishasha and Shay.
They knew the purpose of the mission.
Unlike the current 3-stars, who are sowhat reluctantly carrying it out, they act with knowledge.
The subtle difference is even felt as a master.
Ti to explain will co.
It wont be long.
Just proving that what I saw directly is true will suffice.
I was curious too.
During the promotions to 2-star and 3-star, you only see sorry sights.
They probably couldnt understand what was being said.
But the 4-star promotion will be different. There will surely be a clear hint.
Wait a mont.
But what does that mory have to do with you leaving the party?
Cough.
Neryssa cleared her throat.
If theres a need to fight, you should try harder.
I am trying harder. I was originally responsible for miscellaneous tasks back ho.
That sounds suspicious.
To be frank, I want to conduct a personal investigation. If I remain in the first party, I wont have any free ti.
Investigation?
There are several things that differ from what I know. Especially
Neryssa furrowed her brows.
Its nothing. Ill tell you when Im certain.
?
Anyway, I hope youll allow it. Velkist is more useful than I am right now.
If you really think so, I cant stop you.
Thats a relief.
Neryssa smiled.
Isnt it pitiable? If that fool was kicked out after rolling around in the training ground all day.
Hes bound to lose.
Murmuring as if talking to herself, Neryssa left the training ground.
I was left alone, flicking my foot.
The mories of a hero.
At this stage, its unknown.
Not asking Neryssa for detailed contents of the mories she had is also due to the uncertainty.
As I climb the tower, I will find out.
40th floor.
Upon promotion to 4-star, the attitude of heroes changes slightly.
4-star heroes can utilize the heros third ability, the engraving.
Anyway.
Ive found a hero to take over the sub-master duties.
Neryssa should do well.
She belongs to the diligent type and ticulously handles the tasks shes given.
Its ti to resu tower raids.
This ti, more quickly.
