Bab 2083: The Ancient Folk (2) 

"Would you?" The curse asked Minos, knowing it was unlikely he would ever leave this place but that this young man before him was his best chance.

Not only that, but if Minos could reach level 100, he might be able to kill the curse. Considering this, he saw a clear advantage in making a deal with such a human.

'If he fails, my situation will remain the same as it is today, and I won't have to face him in the future. But if he succeeds, I'll finally be able to leave this hellish place.' The old man thought, putting aside his cursing instincts to look at the bigger picture.

His instincts told him to kill anyone who entered this area. But he had reached the highest point below level 100. He was rational enough to see his situation from a different angle than a simple curse designed to kill.
