Chapter 365: Floor 76, Child of Divine Blood (5)
The guards hurriedly guided Taesan and the child deeper into the temple. Before long, a portly middle-aged man dressed in opulent robes appeared before them.
“So you are the child cursed by all creation. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you,” he said.
“Yes,” the child replied tersely, giving only a small nod. The man smiled faintly.
“I am a saint in service to the great god of Order, Horai. So, child of the curse, I understand you have completed all of your trials?”
“Yes. I have passed every trial His Majesty set before me to bring me here.”
“Marvelous!”
The saint’s voice boomed suddenly, echoing through the hall.
“You must have endured such suffering and sin to make it here! His Majesty’s mercy will be upon you!”
The child’s face twisted slightly, struggling to mask their discomfort.
Unbothered, the saint clapped his hands.
“Now then, right this way.”
The saint glanced briefly at Taesan.
