The Dungeon Monsters Keep Offering Sacrifices – 161
EP.161 The Ghoul with Solitude
In the eerie darkness, a flickering flame from an old candlestick cast a ghostly glow. Following the light revealed a staircase leading to the basement of a shabby building. Descending the stairs and passing through a narrow, long corridor, an ominous room filled with cobwebs came into view. The air was thick with the smell of mold and dampness. In the center of the room stood an old, rickety wooden table, eaten away and cracked in places.
Around the table sat two figures. They were members of “Eclipse,” a group of dark wizards yearning for the resurrection of the evil god. At the head of the table sat Sharia, the young leader of Eclipse. Beneath her black robes, her red eyes gleamed. Despite her young age, she possessed exceptional talent as a dark wizard, leading this shadowy organization. She gazed intently at the table with a serious and cautious look.
“The path we’ve walked has never been smooth. But the arduous trial before us now is more crucial than ever. Isn’t that right?”
Sharia’s gaze was fixed on a piece of bread on the table. The bread was hard, covered in mold, and emitted a musty odor. While it would be repulsive to an ordinary person, to Sharia, it appeared as sweet hope. She swallowed hard and looked at the red-haired man beside her.
“Hey, Lucas… Can’t we just have a little bit of that bread?”
The man she addressed was Lucas, the vice-leader of Eclipse. With his red hair, he had a cold demeanor and firmly shook his head despite Sharia’s desperate gaze.
“No, Leader. We must endure this level of hardship to resurrect the evil god. Besides, even at this moment, our members are out there desperately begging. It wouldn’t be right for us to indulge in this feast.”
