Questioner

Has there ever been anyone on cradle who "messed up" their path yet still ascended to the Monarch level? Say someone who, out of ignorance, got a poorly matching iron body, or cultivated a really weird mix of auras.

This is a great question. I like this question.

The Beast King is a Herald (right below Monarch) who was crippled as a child while attempting to gain his Iron body. He refocused his Path into communicating with animals, using a mix of life and dream aura. Despite being unable to walk, he ended up befriending some truly ancient sacred beasts, and with their help baptized his body in soulfire and ascended to Underlord.

He's now many levels above that, and can walk just fine, but without the foundation of an Iron body he's physically not as dominant as his peers.

However, he's guarded by enormous behemoths from the deep places of the earth, so it balances out.

In Ghostwater, right after Ziel uses his gatekey, the Beast King and Ziel have a conversation in which the beast king states

"Since you seem so willing to help others, I have something to occupy your time. I put a couple of golds on a task for me, and they seem to have gotten themselves stuck. How about you swing by and un-stick them."

Based on the following paragraphs, and the scene where Ziel intervenes on Yerin's and Mercy's behalf, the Beast King is claiming that he is responsible for Yerin's and Mercy's task.

My question is what do you all think the task the Beast king was talking about?

Will Wight

Yeah, this was my mistake. I should have taken out the line when I took out the other scenes, but I missed it.

The audiobook is in recording now with this line corrected, btw.
