Chapter 53
“Hello, there.”
Do-Jun instantly knew who this fairy that appeared mid-air was—Tusitala the Fairy, the guide of the Core, recorded in Interpreter – Ataraxia.
“It’s been so long since I’ve seen a challenger! Nice to meet you. I’m Tusitala, the storyteller. I was created to help challengers survive in the Core. You could call me a guide of sorts.”
Karsiel became extremely wary after seeing Tusitala. She didn’t know why, but she instinctively sensed that this being was dangerous.
“Hmm...” For a moment, Tusitala’s smile vanished. She circled Karsiel once and then smiled again, turning to Do-Jun.
“By the way, you’re impressive. You’re adjusting so well to the Core, even without my guidance. A Hidden Piece, huh? Did you already know about it, or was it just luck? I like you. I tend to favor people like you.”
Do-Jun carefully observed the fairy, who introduced herself as Tusitala. He spread his senses to check the qi emanating from her and soon came to a conclusion.
She’s definitely on the stronger side.
The fairy was stronger than the Sword Emperor Kang-Hyun; Malanuh, the Titan; and even Karsiel, the Ninth Dragon.
But that was about it.
Tusitala frowned slightly as she looked at Do-Jun’s relaxed expression. He felt different from the other challengers she had seen so far. It wasn’t just that he was adapting well; it felt like he was hiding something.
