Chapter 154

Frannan, Chameli, and the other pilgrims worriedly observed the pearl on the magic circle.

As everyone began to worry more, Markon, the holy relic keeper, began to bite his nails.

"This is making me... way too nervous..."

"Stop saying things like that."

"Are you sure the demonic spirit didn't just consume him?"

"I wouldn't have even started this if that's what I expected. And I wouldn't have said he could control it if I didn't believe in it."

"Urgh..."

"I understand your worries, but your silence right now is more helpful."

"Okay-"

It was then...

Glow... Glooow...

The pure white pearl began shining in a myriad of colors.

"H-Huh?"

"...It's finished."

Gloooow...

Glooooow...

Then, Markon pointed at the pearl.

"I-It's black!"

As Markon pointed out, the pearl slowly became tainted with a black hue and remained unchanged thereafter.

"......"

"Pilgrims, ready our preparatio-"

"Stop! We don't know yet."

"But..."

As Markon and Frannan made a fuss, unsure what to do, something slipped out of the pearl.

Fwirl!

"Snowman!"

"What happened?!" yelled Frannan, worriedly.

He seemed much more concerned than he had initially let on.

"......"

Seol began to laugh, not saying a word.

After seeing his laughter, the others in the room relaxed as if all tension had suddenly left their bodies.

Frannan then asked Seol.

"Then why is the pearl..."

"Not reacting?"

And his question was soon answered.

Bzzzt...

Countless messages poured into Seol's vision.

[A grand experience! You have successfully completed the pearl's test.]

[All stats have increased by 2.]

[Snowman concludes the succession ceremony.]

[The succession ceremony continues.]

......

Crackle...

The black pearl began to change once more.

First, the blackness in the pearl slowly coalesced toward the center, while the white sections filled the rest of the area.

Crackle...

And as it did, the pearl slowly took on a new form.

"...A lamp?"

"It's a lamp?"

Craaaackle!

The pearl transformed into the same peculiar lamp that Seol had created within the mental world.
