Chapter 56. It Has a Purpose
After nearly running the entire day, Kim Do-Joon and Karlish arrived at a wide clearing. Behind and ahead of them were endless flights of stairs. On either side of the clearing stood two enormous statues, each about five meters tall.
These statues look like something you would find at a temple.
The statues had grotesquely distorted faces, long ears, and each held a massive crescent blade taller than themselves.
The clearing was otherwise empty, hinting it was a place for rest. Despite the apparent emptiness, Kim Do-Joon decided to inspect the area thoroughly. He approached and touched the statues with caution. In the end, he found nothing.
"I guess there's really nothing here," Kim Do-Joon said to Karlish.
— Yeah, there really is nothing.
There was still no sign of anything unusual. At the very least, it wasn’t another staircase.
— How about we take a break here?
"Sounds good," Kim Do-Joon replied.
Thus, Kim Do-Joon and Karlish chatted in the middle of the clearing. Something occurred just out of their sight. The two statues started moving silently, targeting Kim Do-Joon’s defenseless back.
The statues swung their crescent blades at him with all their might.
