Possessing Nothing Novel (쥐뿔도 없는 회귀)

Chapter 177 - Mayhem/Riot (1)

Kumiho had finally left the City of Endless Night, Chusung knew it well. Most of the monsters who reside in the City of Endless Night wouldn't know about the presence of a ridiculously strong monster like Kumiho, but Chusung knew.

Of course, it wasn't that Chusung was so good at finding information himself to find out Kumiho's secret that she would train every few days and leave the City of Endless Night.

"Are you sure?", Chusung asked as he looked down at the darkness from the CIty of Endless Night, whose lights were dim.

The remark was greeted by a nod of a presence standing near Chusung.

'That person's wearing a big robe, so it's hard to tell if they're a man or a woman.', Chusung thought to himself as he looked to the person who had given him this information.

"Kumiho has definitely left the City of Endless Night.", spoke the androgynous voice from behind the hood.

Because of the androgynous nature of the being, even the voice made it hard for Chusung to distinguish the gender.

"For future reference, she will not come back for at least 15 days. It will take two days to get to the City of Endless Night from the Hughal Mountains, even for the speed of Kumiho taken into account. This is because you must fast and pray for ten days and nights to get a reception with Maeryeong the leader of the pavilion in the mountains where she is trying to go."

"Hmm!", Chusung twitched as he heard the name Maeryong.

He didn't know the identity of Maeryong or the pavilion, he did know that the reason Kumiho was able to become a nine-tailed fox so quickly, was because of the power from them.

After learning about it, Chusung also wanted to go to the pavilion ruled by Maryeong, but the mysterious hooded person told him, it was not a place he should go to on a whim. Although it was unfortunate, Chusung gave up on the idea of going to the Pavilion.

There were 15 days to act. In that time, Chusung intended to 'liberate' the citizens. If Kumiho was there currently, he wouldn't even think of doing such a thing.

In fact, since Chusung was chased from the village he was slaughtering a few years back, he had developed a grudge against Kumiho.

'It was then.', Chusung gritted his teeth in anger.

The memory of him fleeing in disgrace was still vivid.

Monsters who gain power for themselves, were known to be complete existences of fear from the residents of the forest. But he had lost such a chance due to Kumiho and had his honor stained with disgrace.

That day he had to run away from the City of Endless Night, leaving his pride behind to save his life. But not now. Chusung couldn't help but feel that he was robbing an empty house with Kumiho gone, but such thoughts were trivial when it came to revenge.

Chusung recalled the arrogant, haughty face of Kumiho staring down at him with contempt back in the tribe he was slaughtering.

'......hm.'

Chusung had an odd reaction as he remembered her face and looked down at his bulging crotch. Chusung had pledged to himself since that day that he would make Kumiho tremble and grovel before him both in mind and body.

The androgynous and mysterious figure next to him didn't really care for Chusung's ambitions. The cloaked figure knew that manipulating Chusung was rather easy. Chusung was an undeniably strong monster, but he was pretty much an arrogant and weak-minded fellow. The mysterious figure could read Chusung's inner thoughts like a book.
