Chapter 389: Become a Dog or a God
Sitting beside Yongmyeong, I whispered as we watched the cultists.
“If the Cult Leader keeps acting like this...”
“Yes.”
“At first, he ordered you to retrieve the One-Kill Sword... then it changed to wiping out an entire sect. Next, it’ll be to kill a traitor. And on and on with new orders. If you keep obeying because you're worried about the Blood Night Palace each time, then you're just the Cult Leader’s dog. There’s no way retrieving the One-Kill Sword is the end of your mission.”
“That’s true.”
“Have you decided?”
Yongmyeong looked at me.
“I’ll return to the Blood Night Palace immediately.”
I intended to respect whatever decision he made.
“Good. Send my regards to Elder Heo and the Palace Lord. Tell them to grow stronger so no one can touch the Blood Night Palace. Running at first is fine. It’s going to be a long fight. There might be encirclement... think you can break through it?”
Yongmyeong looked around.
“...Sect Leader, do you think I can’t even break through this?”
