Chapter 395: Floor 79, The Floor of Struggle (1)
“Congratulations.”
As soon as he returned to the labyrinth, a voice greeted Taesan. He immediately recognized who it was.
"The Witch."
It was the Green Witch speaking to him.
“To think you've reached the same realm as me already... You really are fast. It's not necessarily bad news for me, but it does feel a bit bittersweet.”
Through their contract, the Witch shared Taesan’s vision. With every new power Taesan gained and each stronger enemy he faced, he brought her closer to her own goals. His strength benefited her.
Yet, she had been stalled as an immortal for an unimaginable amount of time. Taesan, on the other hand, had achieved immortality in what, to her, seemed like a mere blink. It was hard for her to feel purely happy about it.
“Still... it’s not a bad thing. The stronger you become, the greater the chances you’ll uncover the path to transcendence.”
The Witch’s voice held a tinge of excitement.
“I wonder what you’ll become. Will you stop at immortality as I did? Or will you continue onward, advancing like the gods and ultimately reach transcendence? I’ll keep watching you.”
With those words, her voice faded.
The Witch desired to find the path to becoming a transcendent. That was why she had formed a contract with Taesan.
