Chapter 31 - Losing Even After Winning

"Where have all those villagers disappeared who escaped from us and came to the monastery?" Saito asks, looking at Richard. "I don't know," one of Richard's lookalikes replies. "My job was to find the book, but I only found one book here," Richard's lookalike replies. "Why are you so worried? We've killed more than half the people here and gotten the book too. Don't worry," another Richard replies. Just then, several of Richard's lookalikes arrive at the monastery. "We neither killed Seung's family nor were we able to get the two books. I don't know what Yen will do to us now," Saito looks at them and says. "Why don't we do one thing? We'll tell Yen that we killed Seung's entire family and burned them all along with the rest of the villagers." "That should calm Yen's anger down a bit," Richard says, looking at Saito. "Okay, that's the right thing to do. Let's get out of here." On their way from the village and monastery, Saito and Richard set the entire place on fire. They set it on fire. That fire is so intense that its smoke even covers the sun. What will we do now Guruji, where will we go? If these people come to know that we are all still alive, they will find us, Sohee asks looking at Lama. Most of the villagers who survived are crying, remembering the deaths of their loved ones. "I know a place where you won't be in any danger, believe me, I used to live there," Mozar says, looking at everyone. "Okay, we'll go with you," Lama says, looking at Mozar. "Who is that person standing upstairs in the monastery?" Just then, a foul smell spreads around due to the strong winds. Momo looks up at the monastery and says, "We can't see anyone," the people standing there say. "You wait, I'll go and see." Saying this, Lama walks back up through the tunnel towards the monastery. Meanwhile, all of Yen's warriors are celebrating their victory, except for Yen and his friends, who are sitting with Yen in a room. "Is there any truth in what the monk said?" "You knew beforehand that he wouldn't bring the book with him? You did all this just to gain your friend's powers," Half Face asks, looking at Yen. "Because of you." Any one of us could have died, so much bloodshed just for power. Irish looks at Yen and says.Would you like to say something? Katana looks at Yen and asks. It was just my guess that they wouldn't bring the thing they love more than their lives here, that's why I sent Saito and Richard to their village in advance. As for the powers, the more powerful I become, the more powerful you all will become. You know, after that ritual, we are all bound to each other. It was necessary to kill Seung because he was the only one who stood between me and my dreams. So I thought, why not kill him and take his powers? What's wrong in that? Anyway, tomorrow when Saito and Richard bring that book, whoever wants to go can go wherever they want.Yen looks at everyone and says.
