Chapter 320 (2/2)
“Wow…they really went in…”
Chi-Woo fell into deep thought as Dulia walked around and read their traces He had felt a strange sensation the moment he entered He couldn’t explain it clearly, but it was a feeling he’d had a few ti his ut site on his way back after solving a problem[1] Chi-Woo had looked at the site in curiosity and was startled when a sha tilared at hi at hiht this, Chi-Woo had felt an indescribable sensation At the saed him away Then his esture and imaze His mentor walked away in a hurry and deliberately circled far away to get out of there When Chi-Woo asked why he did this, his mentor had replied like this:
[They’re in the ut] [3]
[They specially prepared a space for a God to descend with great care, but what if an uninvited guest breaks in without warning? It’s understandable they would be upset]
When Chi-Woo asked why, his mentor said it was a matter of territory dispute
[It’s not liut are like that A full-fledged shaman has to be even reat content at ReadNovelFullcom
[Unless you’re invited, you really shouldn’t intrude on another shaman’s territory]
The space where a God had descended became a temporary territory for that God alone But what if a shaman who had welcomed another God intruded without permission? There was bound to be collision and conflict Chi-Woo’sthat it was the sa another country Chi-Woo had felt a similar stimulus to that ti on someone’s property But…
‘It’s not a normal property’ Just like how a jesa ritual started with choheon and ended with a bunchuk, the end of any ritual was important [5]
If the officiator did not finish the ritual properly, it was the sa incomplete Dulia had said that the Kobalos had failed their ritual However, the important part was that it was cut short, and the ritual couldn’t be described as over What if the ritual was still continuing after the failure?
‘But…’ The pieces weren’t fitting together perfectly, though It was hard to describe it, but it felt like a water bottle had toppled down, and the surrounding area got soaked with a bit of impurity mixed into the liquid But Chi-Woo could not juo further inside to find out what exactly happened; aside from the fact that they needed to save Yunael and the others By then, the head, Dulia, had finished her assessment of the area
“This is one crazy shi+t-head” She looked around with a duht times That’s the number of tio” She clicked her tongue
“Then you’re saying that they were at least still alive this ht?” Jin-Cheon clasped his hands behind his head
“We don’t know Anything could have happened to them inside” Dulia hmphed and turned away “They deserve it That punk kept criticizingaround and around without a guide” Although she said they deserved it, she didn’t sound like she hts and said, “Then theyaround, unable to reach their destination”
“…Maybe They uys will find out later, but the paths keep changing froed and continued, “Anyway, I think there’s a high possibility that they’re lost We didn’t run into a single ht? What if the reason is the two of the monsters nonstop…?” Then she suddenly raised her voice and turned to one side Her eyes narrowed as she looked up
Chi-Woo wondered why she had suddenly turned around and soon flinched When he listened carefully, he heard a strange noise co fro at the top of their lungs
