Chapter 330 – Descendants of the Monkey King (5)
“Crazy b**** . ”
Anastasia cursed as she healed her disciple’s destroyed arms and eyes . Victoria was deep in sleep from exhaustion .
Looking at her face, Anastasia let out a deep sigh .
She knew best how her disciple felt all this time .
Victoria couldn’t do anything because she was drowning in guilt, and when she finally got back to her daily life, she always looked depressed .
For the last hundred years, Anastasia had only seen her disciple act shamelessly . It had been ages since she saw her disciple acting like this .
When Victoria had thrown a tantrum saying she needed to save Kahn, Anastasia didn’t help her and locked her in a room instead .
If she let her go, Victoria would really go insane . Anastasia didn’t want to see her one and only disciple become a crazy b**** .
But she had ended up like this in the end .
There was nothing Anastasia could do but scold her as she smoked the pipe in her mouth .
『……Victoria . 』
Just then, a breeze silently gathered and took the form of a human . Rebecca settled down and held Victoria in her arms to console her old friend .
Some time passed like that, and Victoria slowly opened her eyes .
“Did you wake up? You little…”
“T-Teacher…”
“B**** . ”
“… . . Sorry . ”
“You did a cute number on the Adamantine Nova . ”
Victoria couldn’t look Anastasia in the eyes and dropped her head .
“In case it was stolen by other people… . . ”
“Fine . That would have been an issue, so I understand . But the problem is that things became tricky even for me . ”
The moment Anastasia checked the Adamantine Nova, she was almost scared to death .
There was a spell engraved clearly on it .
It was an item-binding contract . It was set so if the Adamantine Nova was some distance away from Victoria, it would explode immediately . Also, because it was bound, it would take a while to release it .
It meant one thing .
‘Even in that state, she’s gonna help out that Kahn bastard or whatever his name is . ’
Anastasia was going to scold her again but just sighed and took the pipe out of her mouth .
White smoke spread around her .
The two didn’t say anything for a while . Victoria’s head hung low, and Anastasia just silently held her pipe in her mouth . Then, Anastasia spoke up again .
“So . ”
“… . . Yes?”
Anastasia shouted in an annoyed voice .
“So do you feel better after going through all that now?!”
Victoria smiled bitterly .
“A bit… . . ”
“Haaa . You pushover . ”
The smoke wrapped around Anastasia and then disappeared .
“Still, if you feel a bit better now, that’s good . But no more . ”
“But Teacher—”
“No means no . ”
Anastasia cut her off . She wouldn’t allow any more rebellion . She seemed like she would forcefully hold Victoria back if she didn’t listen .
Victoria clenched her teeth . She had stalled for time as she wanted, but that was it .
She still hadn’t saved Kahn . Even now, he was probably off fighting other people .
Her gaze fell towards the Adamantine Nova .
Anastasia had said that it was tricky for her because there was a binding spell on it . That meant that for the time being, she would be the only person able to use it . Anastasia wouldn’t be able to stop her if she used that .
‘Wait . Then how did Cain’s subordinate use that… . . ?’
At first, she had thought that the spell hadn’t worked properly . She was extremely curious, but she decided to leave it alone and think about how to activate the Adamantine Nova .
If she could escape and create a temporary tool to use it… . . !
Anastasia was about to shout at her disciple, who hadn’t given up hope yet .
Just then,
“That’s enough, Victoria . ”
Yeon-woo suddenly stepped through the door . Behind him, the Ice King followed with an awkward smile .
“Why didn’t you kill him? I’m sure I told you to cut off his head and send it back to Iron Lion . ”
Anastasia reproached Cain .
The Ice King had a sour face . Regardless of whether he was uncomfortable, Anastasia took out her anger on Yeon-woo for bringing the Ice King . The Ice King was the one who hurt Victoria the most, so of course she would be furious .
However, Yeon-woo firmly shook his head .
“No . He promised to help us from now . ”
“How do you know that?”
“We made a pledge . ”

He was speaking about the soul contract that they pledged on a demon’s name . If they broke the conditions of the contract, their soul would be sold to a demon .
The Ice King signed . He would die if he didn’t do it, so he didn’t have any other choice .
Anastasia put her pipe in her mouth . She still didn’t look satisfied .
“Anyways . So?”
“I learned the cause of this incident . ”
“The cause?”
Anastasia had an inquisitive expression .
He sighed at the thought of having to repeat everything the Ice King said, but he stepped up to explain the fight for Bian Studies .
The moment the words “Ruyi Bang” and “descendants of the Monkey King” came up, Anastasia’s eyes became bigger .
Having lived for a thousand years, she knew the many secrets of the Tower, so naturally, she had heard about the Ruyi Bang pieces . At the time, she just thought it was a strange game the Monkey King had left behind, but it had unexpectedly appearedt in front of her .
When he finished explaining, Anastasia looked back at Freesia as if asking if it was all true .
Freesia silently nodded . Then, she just continued to stand silently, like there was nothing else she had to add . Anastasia’s face hardened further .
“So then this b**** was played?”
Victoria shut her mouth .
It was Yeon-woo who answered instead .
“That’s probably not it . ”
“You said that Blood Sword or whoever set everything up to gather pieces, no? And this b**** was played by him . ”
“Kahn is probably being used . ”
After hearing the cause of this incident from the Ice King, Yeon-woo was able to solve the mystery behind Kahn .
The first clue was the words the letter left behind after becoming ash . He still couldn’t forget what they said .
Help me .
In the tutorial, Kahn had headed towards Arangdan even knowing that he would be in danger .
He had requested help .
Looking back at it now, Kahn had been giving him signals from the Monkey King’s palace .
When seeing the stones with the 72 Bian on it, Kahn had been staring at them blatantly, as if searching for something .
He tried to say something to Yeon-woo several times, but he just shook his head and stopped himself .
Despite knowing what it was about, Yeon-woo left him alone, thinking Kahn wasn’t ready to share yet . He thought Kahn would explain everything to him someday .
But .
If that wasn’t it . If he was ready to speak but couldn’t . If Yeon-woo’s laidback attitude had been too relaxed .
Then . Kahn wasn’t asking for help for himself .

-It’s been a while since I was separated from him .
A brother-like fellow he had split up with .
‘Doyle . ’
Could he have been asking for Yeon-woo’s help to help that child?
[Athena looks at you with sad eyes . ]
Just then, a message popped up for the first time in a while after he left Tartarus .
However .
‘Please don’t pity me . ’
Yeon-woo rejected her gaze .
[Athena looks at you with sad eyes . ]
Yeon-woo ignored Athena’s message and explained his thinking .
“And your proof?”
“I have none . ”
“But what do you want me to believe… . . ”
“You don’t have to believe me . ”
Anastasia raised an eyebrow in disbelief .
“What?”
“I didn’t say it for you to understand . I only came to convince Victoria . ”
Yeon-woo didn’t care about Anastasia’s glare and turned to Victoria, who was staring blankly at him .
“It’s only a guess . However, I don’t think I’m wrong . What do you think, Victoria?”
“I think… . . you’re right . ”
“And it’s probably the Devil Army pulling the strings and threatening Kahn . ”
Victoria silently nodded and clenched her fists . When Kahn had first met her, he only asked for help and nothing else .
The moment she heard what Yeon-woo said, she felt like her head was clearing up . The Kahn she knew was someone who would throw himself away to protect someone special to him .
“So it’s not just the people here who you need to deal with to help Kahn; you also need to fight the Devil Army . You might become an enemy of all the rankers here . ”
Unless you were one of the Nine Kings, fighting a war with a Large Clan like the Devil Army wouldn’t be easy . However, Yeon-woo said he was going to fight .
Victoria quickly checked the magic power remaining in her body . Thankfully, she was healed somewhat from the monstrous power that Anastasia planted in her .
It would be hard for her to fight, but she could support from the back . She thought Yeon-woo was obviously going to ask for her help .
“So . ”
Anastasia must’ve thought the same thing because she was about to remove the pipe from her mouth to say something, but… . .

“Please stay here . ”
“… . . What?”
They were completely unexpected words .
“If you step up, you’ll only be in more danger . ”
He was telling her to stay here because she’d be a burden . The only reason Yeon-woo was telling her this was so she wouldn’t chase after him if he quietly disappeared .
Victoria bit her lower lip . The fact that she couldn’t be of any help and would be a burden reminded her of back when she was powerless on the Five Mountains of Penances .
However, Yeon-woo immediately turned away after he finished . Along with the words that he would be back with Kahn soon .
“……Seseungnim . ”
“Stupid b**** . ”
After Yeon-woo left .
Victoria clenched her teeth in consideration for a while and called for Anastasia . However, Anastasia didn’t say much and just put the pipe back in her mouth .
Because she was her one and only disciple, Victoria knew what it meant .
“Thank you . ”
Victoria bowed and put a shirt on to leave . The Adamantine Nova followed her like a tail as she ran out the door .
“Can you send her like that? She’s the first child you were affectionate for . ”
Freesia, who had been standing silently in the back, asked . Her face couldn’t be seen because she was wearing her wooden mask, but her eyes were curved . Her voice made it seem like she was smiling .
Not liking Freesia’s attitude, Anastasia frowned and pulled out her pipe with anger .
“She’ll do what she needs to do . How long do I have to take care of her?”
“You’ve changed, Anastasia . ”
“I don’t know who she takes after that she’s so stupid . Tsk! I should’ve stopped her when she said she was going to do that weird Sadhu thing . ”
Despite her harsh words, her voice was filled with concern .
“There’s no teacher who can beat their disciple . ”
Through the smoke, Anastasia looked blankly in front of her .
“And nothing is as scary as a woman blinded by love . ”
