Villain Ch 805. The Dark Priestess' Origin

Allen could only stare at them, a mixture of amusement and disbelief evident in his expression. He watched Alice and Bella's antics unfold before him and couldn't help but marvel at the unique dynamic between the two of them.

"Their friendship is definitely interesting," remarked Shea, who stood beside Allen, a barely contained grin playing at the corners of his lips. "One can neutralize the other, and they have the same vibe," he added, his tone tinged with amusement.

Allen's smile grew slowly as he considered Shea's observation. Despite the chaos and unpredictability of their interactions, there was an undeniable sense of harmony between Alice and Bella. Their ability to complement each other's personalities and support one another in times of need was truly remarkable.

"You're right," Allen admitted, his smile widening.

The journey through the Hidden Catacombs continued, leading Allen and his companions deeper into the labyrinthine depths of the dungeon. With each floor they descended, the intensity of the monsters they encountered increased, but there was still no sign of the quest they had been seeking.

Once they reached the fourth floor, their hopes of finding a boss monster or triggering a quest began to dwindle. The chamber they entered was vast and imposing, its walls adorned with intricate carvings depicting tales of curses and ancient grudges.

Its walls were adorned with intricate carvings that depicted tales of ancient curses and grudges. The air was heavy with an oppressive atmosphere, as if the weight of centuries of malevolent energy hung over the space. Shadows danced across the walls, casting eerie patterns that seemed to shift and writhe with a life of their own.

Despite its grandeur, there was a palpable sense of emptiness that pervaded the chamber, leaving an unsettling feeling in the pit of one's stomach.

It had the ambiance of a final showdown, yet there was nothing but empty space stretching out before them.

"Well, this is anticlimactic," remarked Alice, her tone laced with disappointment as she surveyed the barren chamber.

Jane, however, seemed unfazed by their lack of progress. She was engrossed in studying the carvings on the walls, her fingers tracing the intricate patterns as she absorbed the stories they told.

"I swear, if I have to read one more curse inscription, I'm going to lose it," muttered Larissa, her patience wearing thin as she scanned the chamber for any signs of hidden triggers or switches.

Allen shared in their frustration, his brows furrowing as he searched the chamber for any clues. The absence of a quest or boss monster left a sense of unease lingering in the air, and he couldn't shake the feeling that they were missing something crucial.

Zoe let out a frustrated sigh, her tentacles curling in agitation. "I can't believe we've gone through all this trouble and there's nothing to show for it," she grumbled, her disappointment evident in her voice.

Shea's expression mirrored their collective frustration, her features contorted into a grimace as she surveyed the empty chamber. "This is just great," she muttered sarcastically, her arms crossed over her chest in irritation.

"This is weird," muttered Allen, his brow furrowed as he scanned the room. His eyes fixated on the empty stone throne at the far end, a stark contrast to what they expected to find. "It's usually used by boss monsters or something, but nothing there."

Bella's voice cut through the tense atmosphere, tinged with frustration. "This is unfair... After what I did..." she grumbled, her tone grim with disappointment.

Alice chimed in. "You only froze those black gooey things," she reminded Bella, her voice tinged with a hint of amusement.

"But it's still a sacrifice!" Bella protested, her frustration evident in her voice.

Vivian pondered aloud, voicing the confusion that gripped them all. "Is this a glitch? Or is this map still under construction?" she wondered.

Suddenly, Jane's voice broke the silence, her tone carrying a note of revelation. "Oh, I think that's because we are the ones who are supposed to be the boss monsters here," she suggested, her words sparking a moment of realization among the group.

They turned to Jane in surprise, eyebrows raised at her unexpected claim. "Or rather me," Jane added proudly, her voice laced with confidence.

The others couldn't help but cringe at Jane's assertion. "Where does that self-confidence come from?" Alice complained, her disbelief evident in her tone.

Jane, undeterred by their reaction, turned to face them with an innocent expression, pointing towards the intricate carvings on the wall. "It's not me who said it. But it's all written here," she explained, her voice carrying a note of certainty as she gestured towards the cryptic symbols etched into the stone.

In curiosity, they all approached Jane, their interest piqued by her confident assertion. Their gazes fixated on the intricate carvings adorning the wall, each one telling a story of its own. Jane volunteered to interpret the cryptic symbols for them, her excitement palpable.

"Did you see this?" Jane began, her voice tinged with enthusiasm. "A holy priestess came to this place to destroy the curse. But the people around here instead used her as a sacrifice to stop the curse," she explained, her tone growing more animated with each word.

Jane continued her interpretation and the group listened intently, captivated by the ancient tale unfolding before them. "The priestess felt betrayed and on the verge of death, the devil emperor came and gave her an offer to become his servant," Jane recounted, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "The priestess accepted the emperor's offer due to her broken heart and disappointment.

And… That's how I was born!" she concluded, her voice brimming with happiness.

Alice smirked, her lips curling into a playful grin. "Looks like we stumbled upon your origin story," she teased.

"So… all of this just for you? So the players could understand your background story more?" Bella said, cringing.

Jane beamed at the attention, clearly pleased with herself. "Well, I always knew I was destined for greatness," she joked.
