『I’ll thank you again for your contribution in the completion of Kynee.』
Brontes bowed to Yeon-woo.
There was a brief moment of conflict, but Brontes didn’t forget the fact that Yeon-woo was the one who tossed them a lifeline when they were in a situation without hope.
If Yeon-woo hadn’t stepped up, the three Cyclops brothers would never have been able to meet again or complete Kynee.
Yeon-woo was the savior of the brothers and Tartarus.
『Me too.』
“I agree.”
Steropes and Arges bowed as well. It was somewhat awkward because they were meter-high one-eyed monsters.
『You can ask me to do anything.』

“Like I already said, this was just quid pro quo. And my condition was…..”
Yeon-woo paused, pulling out the pocket watch. Brontes’s single eye narrowed.
『It was to unlock the seal, right?』
“Right.”
『Would you give it to me real quick?』
Yeon-woo carefully gave the pocket watch to Brontes.

[Heaven Wing’s Pocket Watch]
Category: ???
Rank:???
Summary: The pocket watch that Heaven Wing Cha Jeong-woo left behind. It was created from Luciel’s Soulstone, the stone of ‘Superbia (arrogance),’ and it seems to hold a secret.
He still couldn’t learn much, but the Divine Draconic Eyes managed to show Yeon-woo better results than before.
The part of Superbia that was made of the stone stood out in particular.

The fact that he could see information about the Soulstone meant he could analyze information about it if he raised the skill’s proficiency. Only the first step was hard—it became easier after.
『How much do you know about this stone?』
“I only know that it’s made of Superbia of the Seven Deadly Sins.”
Brontes seemed a bit surprised.
『You already know that much? Then it’ll be easier to tell you.』
His explanation continued.
『Like I mentioned beforehand, there are a total of 14 Soulstones left behind by Luciel. The name of each Soulstone is different. They’ve been divided into evil and good, the Seven Virtues and the Seven Deadly Sins. We are able to use the fire of the beginning, Castitas, to melt the artifact because it’s “pure” like its namesake.』
Yeon-woo wondered what the name of the Soulstone that made Vieira Dune into Mother Earth was.
He had a guess in mind.

Luxuria (lust).
『On the other hand, Superbia overpowers everything. It’s aloof and high. It’s also stiff, so it doesn’t know how to bend to others. Because it doesn’t break easily, it’s the perfect place to hide something. I don’t know who created it, but….. he must’ve been very skilled.』
“What do you think he tried to hide?”
Brontes shrugged.
『How would I know? I didn’t make it. But……』
“But? Do you have something in mind?”
『The seal isn’t completely locked, and it was set up to have a hole somewhere. So, if a certain condition is fulfilled, there will be a reaction.』
Yeon-woo nodded. He had that assumption as well.
The diary.

『So to unlock it, I think you need to aim for this point.』
“How?”
『If the person who made this watch wanted, he could’ve sealed the item inside of the pocket watch forever. But the fact he made a hole means he wanted the seal to be unlocked someday.』
Brontes’s eyes shined.
『It’s a keyhole.』
* * *
‘A keyhole.’
Sitting in front of the furnace, Yeon-woo rubbed the pocket watch. As the fire in the furnace whooshed up, its warmth was delivered to him.
-To be honest, I don’t know if I can release the seal. Actually, I know I can’t. No one has ever been able to unlock the secret of the Soulstones. If it was possible….. everyone in possession of one would’ve transcended mortal limits.

Henova had said that it was possible even the three Cyclops brothers might not be able to unlock the seal.
It seemed he was right.
-But ‘handling’ it is another story. I’ll teach you about that.
-However, if we know what the key used to go in the keyhole is, the seal can be unlocked. It’s a shame.
Yeon-woo muttered to himself.
‘A keyhole.’
It was most definitely the diary.
Then…..
‘What’s the key?’

He quickly came to his answer.
‘Me.’
His brother had left behind the diary to try to give him something.
He did say he hoped Yeon-woo would go to the clan house to take the elixir, but there were still functions other than an information source that he had left behind in the diary.
