Luck vs Survival

That was also what the others wanted to know, so they all nervously looked up at the Black Robe Ghost King.

"What will happen to the ones who aren't picked? Hahaha —"

The ghost king looked like he had heard something very amusing when he said, "Well, it's very likely that they'll die…"

Die?!!!

Everyone's eyes widened.

They had thought that the worse that would happen was that they would lose the chance of finding the seed of the spirit source, but as it turned out, there was a high possibility that they would die!

"Hey, kids, don't panic just yet. I said 'very likely,' which means that there's a chance that you won't die."

Despite the intimidating and creepy air the Black Robe Ghost King gave off, he somehow also had a coquettish side.

"What do you mean by 'very likely'?"
