Chapter 323: Everything Is Not Fine

Chapter 323: Everything Is Not Fine



The inn at the Border Village had been strangely quiet today.

Behind the closed doors, the innkeeper was lying dead, a pool of blood spreading around him.

It looked like he had been killed not too long ago, as the warmth of his body had not yet completely dissipated.

Through the front door, a worried villager stepped through and dinged the bell at the front desk.

"The innkeeper?" She called out. "Where could he be..."

It was strange to her. She always expected to see the innkeeper standing behind his desk when she walked past the inn during her morning walks.

He was always there, for the past five years, but now he wasn't, for the first time in forever! 'Having dinner? Coffee? A nap?' She thought, but she quickly shook her head.

'It isn't his break time.'

At that moment, one of the inn's mysterious doors started glowing under, as if some kind of mysterious portal was opening on the other side.

'Someone is coming from that wretched dungeon!' She thought with wide eyes. 'It must be a mercenary!'

Her heart started beating with excitement. She wanted to tell the mercenary about the innkeeper's mysterious disappearance.

When the door opened, a figure walked-no, slithered through the doorway.

The villager was about to introduce herself, but then her expression turned into a look of disgust as she saw the centipede legs.

It made her skin crawl in disgust.

At that moment, her disgust was replaced by fear.

'Chaosbeing?! Here?!'

As she was about to scream, King Moriarty looked straight at her and moved his hand. His fingers closed around the woman's throat, crushing it with a sickening squelch.

The villager collapsed on the ground, also dead.

Without any change in look, King Moriarty slithered out of the inn. To him, killing the innkeeper and the woman was as same as crushing an ant.

It really made no difference to him.

...

A couple of minutes after.

The dungeon door again glowed, and through it, Adam emerged. He immediately used his eyes to scan the place for any signs of danger.

At that moment, the tent's flap opened, and a man, they didn't expect to see today, stepped

through.

"Adam!" Digby's eyes shook.

"Huff, huff..." Adam panted heavily with sweat dropping from his face.

"See?" Zephyr smiled and stood up. "Everything was fine, after all."

"Whew..." Digby let out a relaxed sigh and smiled. "Nice to meet you-"

At that moment, their eyes widened as a wave of strength washed over them. They finally managed to get an understanding of Adam's new strength, and it truly shocked them to the

core!

"G-Grand Lord!" Digby's teeth shook.

Zephyr was completely speechless.

"Everything is not fine!" Adam suddenly shouted and placed Recording Pearl on top of the

stone table.

"Recording Pearl?"

Adam activated the Recording Pearl, and the scene started to play out. It was between King Moriarty and Rawkshawn.

The tent turned otherwise silent as the three kept watching and listening to the recording.

Slowly, Zephyr's and Digby's expressions started changing.

They were listening to something so shocking that they couldn't believe their ears.

Every sentence was more shocking than the last.

"He is talking to Rawkshawn." Adam said. "The monster that killed every other member of

the party."

"?!" Zephyr looked shocked.

"I was the last survivor," Adam said.

At that moment, the recording reached the moment when King Moriarty talked about

assassinating Adam.
