I had to make a decision quickly.

- Shin Kyung-Ah… No… Kwon Seong-Il. Kwon Seong-Il.

- Okay.

As soon as I heard Yeon-Hee’s response, I could barely see the biggest doll-like shape among the three begin to move.

“Worship Doom Arukuda… Aaah… That’s bullshit… I’m going to squeeze out all the ink in your eyes, you fucking moron. Gahhhhh.”

When Seong-Il collapsed next to me with a groan, a notification message popped up.

[The trait Explorer has been activated.]

[About the Grand Ritual of the Baclan Corps (Explorer Reward)

The Baclan Corps hopes that Doom Arukuda will solve their problems. But don’t worry. Your hometown is safe.

Content: If you remain alive until the end of their ceremony, the hidden quest ‘Worship Doom Arukuda’ will be completed.]

I could clearly see the message, and the bolded letters looked more obvious than ever. It was telling us that the descending incarnation wasn’t a sign that we had been discovered by the Baclan.

A few hours later…

[Congratulations. You have completed the hidden quest ‘Worship Doom Arukuda.’]

[Power Resistance: 5%]
