Chapter 97: Becoming A Candidate?
<Ring of the Hollow King (Cursed-Rare) is reacting!>
The ring is reacting? Rael's brows furrowed. Besides that...
"Didn't you say that each continent had its own monsters? This doesn't seem like the Beast."
Caedia flinched. "I-I didn't lie... How was I supposed to know something like that was going to show up? But it's just observing, right?"
"Right." A cold voice rang out from above, startling them.
Rael turned toward the voice and saw a curly red-haired man looking down at them, wearing a sadistic smile.
"Of course you lot didn't expect something like this. Measly ants such as you should—hm?" The man tilted his head, glancing at Rael. "Nice ring you've got there. I was wondering where it went."
The moment those words fell, the red-haired man suddenly materialized beside Rael, inspecting him up and down.
"It's a cool ring, yeah. And I assume you're the Hollow King then?" Rael asked with a poker face.
The red-haired man nodded. "You may call me Kareth. Now, could I have a look at that ring?"
Since Rael didn't have much of a choice, he took the ring off and handed it over to Kareth, who began inspecting the ring intensely.
"Hmm... it's definitely my ring, but there's a curse on it? How strange," Kareth muttered. "Did you put a curse on it?"
