SL:R

Chapter 36

[The King of Beasts, the Beast Monarch, blesses you.]

[‘Blessings: Rakan’s Blessings’ has been applied.]

The blessings of the King of Beasts, the Beast Monarch.

The Beast Monarch Rakan has chosen you to be the King’s Shaman.

As a shaman, you can imbue your body with the spirit of a beast.

– Effect ‘Divinity: You can embody ‘Pet: Gray’ in your body.

‘Shaman? Divinity?’

Rakan chuckled happily at Sooho, who looked at the information window in confusion.

[Hehehe, yes. You are now the shaman of our clan. Since I am already dead, you have become the only shaman serving Gray, the only royal member.]

‘Serve Gray?’
Sooho became puzzled.

Gray was his pet. It was strange to think of himself as a shaman who served his pet as a king.

‘Like a cat servant? It weirdly makes sense…’

Sooho nodded in understanding. Anyway, gaining a new ability was something to be welcomed.

And in the end, Rakan’s purpose was to dream of Sooho more often. Sooho had to be with Gray more often for that to happen, even if just a little. However, the problem was that Gray was too weak and useless at the moment.

But what if he used the shaman’s ‘Divinity’ ability?

[If you use that ability, you can borrow the power of a beast for a short time. As Gray grows, the borrowed power will become stronger and stronger.]

‘So you’re going to ask me to take care of Gray form now on?’

[Well, something like that.]

Sooho and Rakan chuckled at each other simultaneously. Sooho found it amazing that he could be so cool, considering he claimed to have died in his father’s hand.

[What’s done is done. It’s only natural for a weak animal to be eaten by a stronger one.]

Rakan laughed at the memory.

[Your father was terribly strong. I struggled in fear and was eventually eaten. That’s all.]

Survival of the fittest.

The King of Beasts, who had ruled at the top of the food chain, had even accepted his own death without resistance.

[Oh well, my allotted time must have already ended.]

Looking up at the sky, Rakan sighed regretfully.

The world, which had been pure white, was gradually stained with dark shadows. A dreadful emptiness was coming.

As the space in which he could exist grew narrower, Rakan’s body also grew smaller to match. Finally, Rakan returned to his form as the huge man he had shown Sooho at the beginning and handed something to him.

[Take this and leave. This is my death and my rest. You must return and live your life.]

In Sooho’s hand was Rakan’s Fang.

‘But why only one?’

[I combined them. They were too insignificant to be called a king’s relic since they were teeth that were pulled out when I was young. But now that they are combined, they might be useful.]

Sssaaa. At that moment, the black shadow completely engulfed the world.

The corner of Rakan’s mouth revealed through the gap in the shadow gave a final farewell with a smirk.
