Chapter 64 (1/2)
Dokkaebis were monsters ranked somewhere in between low and mid rank
Although they weren’t generally strong, there were certain tribes that definitely stood out a them
This was especially true for dokkaebis with horns ere known as ‘kings’
And depending on their characteristic, their appearance differed
You could differentiate the at their hair color, for exa
Muyoung found the area where the ice dokkaebis were gathered
‘The numbers are small’
At most, maybe 5,000 dokkaebis?
They only had half the numbers of others
“A-oom! A-hoom! A-oom! A-hoom!”
As if they had already practiced the chant, all the dokkaebis were shouting in unison
When Muyoung approached them, unlike before, no one stopped him
Except, there were soroups that looked at him in wonder
“Why did he come alone?”
“Is he a wandering king?”
Usually, dokkaebi kings had few tens to few hundreds of dokkaebis in their group
Muyoung couldn’t help but stand out as he was alone
However, there were no ene, it was the opposite
Since the nulad to increase their number even by one
Muyoung pondered for a moment
‘Advent of Ooh possibility that Oom was a dokkaebi with an important status’
First, he needed to understand this ceremony
That way it would be possible to search for Hedley’s Kow at this place without raising any suspicions
“Have you seen Oom before?”
The horned dokkaebi right next to hi look and spoke
“Oom’s position was vacant for 1,000 years”
Ahh
Muyoung inwardly nodded his head
Ooure but a position
But for 1,000 years
It see to decide their true leader at this place
He dug a bit deeper
“Then… who do you think will take this Oom’s position from this ceremony?”
“Well, of course, it’s going to be ‘Seohan’ He’s the true ruler who rules over 3,000 ice dokkaebis Did you co near the border?”
Seohan
Muyoung slightly turned his gaze
There was a dokkaebi who stood out more than the rest
A dokkaebi whose skin was coazes of confidence from others
‘He looks more like a yaksa than a dokkaebi’
Yaksa They were species known as duaxini which were, in reality, evolved dokkaebis
Muyoung only heard of the one
And there were at least 5 more duaxini present
Muyoung retracted his gaze and answered coolly
“You’re right That’s why I don’t know much about this ceremony”
The dokkaebi clicked his tongue
Fortunately, he wasn’t suspicious any longer and continued to speak
“A black star ‘Hoom’ will fall from the sky and a trial will start and every dokkaebi will be able to challenge the position of ‘Oo to be difficult as there is Seohan”
A completely boastful expression
That meant that he had that much confidence in Seohan
‘A black star was going to fall from the sky?’
He couldn’t iine it very well
However, it seeressive until the black star fell
He was now able to understand why the fire dokkaebi was completely furious
“Thank you for your explanation My na”
“I’ Land’ tribe It see pointless and it would best for you to help Seohan”
The two held hands
However, Muyoung didn’t really pay attention to Gaon’s words
‘If it’s a duaxini, he would have already ledtime So, Hedley’s Koouldn’t have turned into a duaxini It must be one of the dokkaebis who had just joined’
First, he removed Seohan and other duaxini from his radar
However, he couldn’t easily ask this part
If he was unlucky, Hedley’s Kowfor it The worst conclusion
‘A dokkaebi who joined recently A duaxini would know’
Muyoung’s eyes clouded
Although duaxinis were now removed from his list of suspicions, on the other hand, duaxinis would know
Which dokkaebis recently joined and followed them
The most certain as to ask them
However, he couldn’t do that now
He stood out toomove, he could seem suspicious
After the trial starts
It see
The ceremony continued for few days
The energy within the Soul Mountains beca this ti
Exactly after seven days since Muyoung joined them
Thump-!
From the sky, the ‘Hoom’ fell
Hooht the trial A device to find out who the true Oom was!
However, there wasn’t just one Hoom
There were two black stars that fell from the sky
“It’s strange It said in the prophecy that only one would fall”
Gaon tilted his head
“A prophecy can’t always be completely correct”
Muyoung was certain
There were ue
No, there were
This was because prophecies were received through ‘Descent of God’
It literallyand it was i to listen properly
There was a high chance that through this process, information became distorted or bloated up
“Either way… It has now started”
Gaon led his 50 tribe members and joined them
Of course, Seohan the duaxini stood in the very front
It was the same for other types of dokkaebis
Two stars that fell in the middle of the mountains
However, it was more precise to call it a meteor than a star
Although it was interesting that there was no real iathered at the top of a mountain
And there was a large gap between the two meteors
“Muyoung, what are you going to do? To be honest, wandering kings are free We can’t force you”
Since he had no group to lead, he also had no responsibilities
However, Muyoung looked a bit confident
“Let’s follow”
“Good, Muyoung Then, followLand tribe”
Even though he said to follow hi Seohan
At the very front, leaders including Seohan discussed
And depending on their choice, they entered through the gap of the ‘Hooms’
