Chapter 146 - Sealing Power Jewel (1) (1/2)
'Then I should go to the dungeon that Aquana told me about.’
Kang-jun immediately decided to check if the shadows’ words were true.
‘If I can find a power jewel, I won’t need to submit to the angels’ authority.’
At that moment, one of the shadows called out to Kang-jun,
“Dimensional sovereign! We have delivered our message. Now, it depends on your choice.”
Kang-jun was silent, then he nodded.
”If your words are true, then I will ensure that Hwanmong won’t be controlled by the demonic G.o.ds or the Celestial World.”
The shadows cheered in unison:
”We believe in you.”
”Now, we will be your strength.”
”You have the same will, so the power of Hwanmong will help you.”
The bodies of the shadows faded away.
At the same time, an unknown light appeared around Kang-jun.
Messages popped up!
[The power of Hwanmong has recognized you as the guardian of Hwanmong.]
[Now, the power of Hwanmong will guide you using the missions to ensure that you get what you need most.]
‘Mission?’
More related messages appeared.
[The power of Hwanmong will create the mission you need now.]
[Mission] Melinad’s Dream
[Performance Conditions] The mysterious phenomenon that appeared in the Queen’s Palace on Agand Continent is due to Melinad’s dream. Ask her about the dream and release her from it.
[Compensation] One level, the Book of Power
[Do you want to accept the mission?]
[Yes/No]
[The mission can be abandoned at any time without a penalty.]
[However, once abandoned, the mission can’t be accepted again.]
It was the first time he could choose whether or not to accept a mission. After becoming transcendent, it was possible to make deals with the shadows.
However, he hadn’t accept the missions because he hadn’t liked the compensation.
However, the rewards for this mission were truly astonis.h.i.+ng.
Right now, just gaining one level was incredible. It was because such a huge amount of experience was required for one level that even defeating a transcendent wouldn’t make him level up.
However, the level up was nothing compared to the next reward.
‘Book of Power? Then perhaps?’
Kang-jun was convinced that the reward had something to do with the power jewel.
‘It must tell of a way to get the power jewel.’
The rewards for the mission had changed from the past.
Additionally, the description of the mission had changed as well.
‘Yes! I accept.’
Then another message appeared immediately.
[You've accepted the mission, Melinad’s Dream.]
[Fulfilling Melinad’s dream will accomplish the mission.]
Furthermore, the contents of the mission had now disappeared.
The mission requirements for Kang-jun were changed automatically.
‘That’s it. Now, I just need to go out and ask Melinad.’
She would be waiting outside the dungeon. Kang-jun exited the dungeon immediately.
Chu chu chu.
At that moment, all traces of the dungeon faded away like it had never been there in the first place.
However, that was only to ordinary people as the entrance to the dungeon was clear in Kang-jun’s eyes.
'The dungeon is completely concealed.’
One of the shadows probably did it. Now that Kang-jun had figured out the location, it wasn’t necessary for others to know that there was a dungeon here.
“Lord! What was inside?”
“Shadows.”
”Who are they?”
”Those who control the rules of Hwanmong. They told me things about Hwanmong.”
The meeting with the shadows.
It was an important event that changed Kang-jun’s destiny.
If it hadn’t been for Melinad, Kang-jun would never have entered the dungeon here. Therefore, Kang-jun had a lot of warmth in his eyes as he gazed at her.
”I’m glad to help Lord.”
”So, if you want a reward, tell me and I will give it to you.”
”All I did was let you know that there was a dungeon here.”
”It was a very big help to me. Don’t feel burdened and tell me.”
Kang-jun wanted to know Melinad’s wish so he could complete the mission.
”There must be some dream or fantasy that you want to achieve.”
Melinad tilted her head to the side.
“Let’s see. There should be something.”
“Think carefully. It might be related to the mysterious phenomenon occurring at the palace here.”
Melinad looked startled as she suddenly thought of something.
“That reminds me...”
”Did you think of something?”
”I actually wished that I could become a human like Lord, but it is amazing that the power of this dream turned me into a human being in the palace.”
Kang-jun was also amazed. He hadn’t known that Melinad wanted to be a human.
”Why do you want to be a human?”
”That...”
Melinad suddenly blushed as she bowed her head and didn’t speak.
Kang-jun grasped her shoulders with his hands and stared at her.
“Please speak. Tell me what it is. It is very important to me.”
Once Kang-jun spoke so pa.s.sionately, Melinad replied like it couldn’t be helped.
”Do I honestly have to say it?”
“Yes. What is the reason?”
“I want to become Lord’s lover.”
“......!”
Kang-jun finally knew what Melinad’s dream was.
She wanted to be human!
This was because Kang-jun was a human. She wanted to be a human and his lover.
'A romance with the naga queen.’
He hadn’t thought about it, but Kang-jun didn’t feel any resistance toward taking a beautiful woman as a lover.
