Chapter 54
Shraaak—
Seolhwa’s sword sliced through the last of the demonic monkey beasts.
Truthfully, this fight had been the monkeys’ inevitable defeat from the very beginning.
Whether by desire (Wŏn, 願) or resentment (Wŏn, 怨), Seolhwa’s will far surpassed that of such creatures.
“...That was the last of them.”
Shaking the monkey beast’s blood from his blade, Namgoong Cheongun let out a long breath.
He and Seolhwa were both soaked in the creatures’ blood.
“After going this far, I really am curious what exactly the Celestial Bow Turtle Head is.”
What kind of object could possibly be guarded by monsters like these?
“Shall we go?”
“Right.”
The two of them stepped deeper into the forest, in the direction from which the monkeys had poured out.
