Chapter 24

As expected, Borgo cleared the final Gate.

And it was probably easy for him to clear the final Gate as well.

Seol had already activated all of the devices in that Gate and all Borgo had to do was just walk through.

"It looks like you weren't able to escape yet, you rat bastard."

Seol turned around and looked at Borgo with his golden eyes.

He also noticed Borgo's aide right next to him.

"Where's everyone else?"

Borgo's face stiffened when he noticed that Seol wasn't afraid of him at all. He looked calm and even asked him a question.

"I'll be the one asking questions. All you have to do is answer me and then pass me your head. No... that won't be enough. I'll cut you into pieces, then spread you out on the stones. You prefer that too, don't you?"

"So, is it only the two of you?"

"I said I'll be the one asking questions, you bastard!"

Borgo was violently quaking his body in anger.

His voice was shaky probably due to his uncontrollable rage.

But then, his aide changed the topic.

"Borgo... look over here."

"...What?"

"L-Look at all of this treasure. With this, we can—"

This room was filled with mountains of treasure. Most people would have their hearts pounding with excitement at the sight of these.

His aide turned his back on Borgo and started touching the treasures almost like he was possessed by something.

The aide's actions were somewhat expected. The reason he followed Borgo, someone who did whatever he wanted to do, was in the end for treasure.

However, his actions bothered Borgo.

Fwooosh!

Crush!

"Krgh!"

Borgo's handaxe was wedged into the aide's back.

"Why... you bastard... why..."

"Don't touch it. Hehe... It's all mine."

Borgo had already gone somewhat mad.

How could any leader still be sane after losing close to thirty members while clearing a ruin?

Well, Borgo did kill the last person, though so...

Regardless, Seol looked at Borgo with a sarcastic glance

"I can see it was a miracle that even two people made it here."

"Shut up! Shut up! I... I'm going to take everything! The treasure... as well as your life!"

"Why don't you try it then?"

Borgo hurriedly grabbed whatever items he could around him. He stuffed his pockets and then tried to force even more treasure into them even though they wouldn't fit.

He looked like he had completely gone insane.

"Haha... th-they're all mine."

And then suddenly, he quickly ran toward something that he discovered and forced himself into a piece of armor.

It was the chestplate that Seol had separated earlier. It was a treasure that had Seol separated himself so there was no way that Borgo wouldn't notice it as well.
