For Jin Zelin, that memory... it was the last thing he wanted to reminisce about, yet it was branded so vividly in his mind.
He cried himself out in the dark room until his throat was hoarse.
At that time, he felt as though he was abandoned by the entire world.
And in the darkness, the monsters with their fangs and claws lunged at him as if to devour him, terrifying him so much that he trembled all over and cowered in the corner of the wall, daring not to move, even his breathing became tenser.
Just when he was in utter despair, thinking he would die there, the door slowly opened.
The senior apprentice brother appeared.
At the sight of the senior apprentice brother, he felt the whole world light up, with the senior apprentice brother being the focal point of that light.
And after that... the senior apprentice brother entered the dark room.
The master said it was the senior brother who willingly took his place...
