Chereads / The Ghoul king of Yonaka / Chapter 57 - Temple of Eternity

Chapter 57 - Temple of Eternity

Kenchi and Maki climbed countless hills, with each one leading to another. Before they knew it, they were walking along a thin bamboo path.

~Maki~

I've never seen bamboo this big and packed.

~Kenchi~

(What is that disgusting smell)!?

~Maki~

Are you okay?

~Kenchi~

Yep, never felt bett-

Kenchi proceeded to vomit on the right side of the path... The smell stopped and wood could be heard repeatedly hitting the ground. A sweet aroma filled the air.

~Unknown Person~

How did you get in here?

~Kenchi~

Who said that?

~Unknown Person~

I did.

A bald head man dress like a monk emerged from the bamboo forest.

~Maki~

Who are you?

~Bald Man~

My name is of no important, you are currently in grave danger. I suggest you leave before we're trapped too.

~Kenchi~

Trapped.

The path behind them was suddenly filled with bamboo. This made leaving impossible.

~Bald Man~

That was the only way out.

~Maki~

(I have a bad feeling about this place).

~Bald Man~

There's nothing you can do now, so follow me.

Kenchi and Maki followed the bald head man.

~Kenchi~

I'm sorry, but I didn't catch your name.

~Bald Man~

I don't have one.

They reached a temple and entered.

~Maki~

Is this your home?

~Bald Man~

Yes, but it's more like a prison.

~Kenchi~

What's stopping you from leaving this place?

~Bald Man~

This entire mountain is encased in a barrier. Even if I somehow escaped the barrier, he would find me and well I don't need to explain what will happen.

~Kenchi~

Who imprisoned you?

~Bald Man~

The Demon King: Ashura Harpinstine.
