Chapter 97
“I guess I can be considered as a spirit form of Jeduth”
“So it’s like that?”
I had heard froray haired oldvoice
“Weren’t you sealed away?”
“Ho ho, so there is a dragon with you? Yes, well at least now I understand how you ed to reach all the way here I’m not Jeduth’s true self, but rather a uidance to others”
“Guidance?”
“Right, just before my main body was sealed away, I was created to help out adventurers such as yourself”
“Ha… help out? Are you sure you aren’t here to fight us instead?”
Fro of Lilinor’s eyes, it was clear that she held a grudge against this God
“Oh not at all, rather I’ed to clear the dungeon”
“Reward? What kind of reward are we talking about?”
I was quite interested in so called reward Also, the kind of inforht directly against the council of High Gods was priceless The spirit of Jeduth seemed to take his time and think carefully
“Well the reward is only a one tieon In fact, I never expected that I would have to give it out simply based on the power of the monsters like the Beholder and Hydra Not to ed to kill Cerberus which is close to being a God ranked creature It was quite beyond any of my expectations
After quite the long rant where the spirit in Jeduth’s for to himself, Lilinor interrupted him
“So where is this great reward? Since we’ve done all that then why don’t you bring it out?”
“Well… actually it isn’t anything special actually It’s just this si necklace which my main body used”
“Ha, just a simple necklace?”
“This is all I have with ht now, if it isn’t to your satisfaction I’ll return with another reward, please wait one moment”
As Lilinor was getting angry over the nonchalance shown by the gray haired man before us, Lena suddenly interrupted
“Make sure to get that necklace at all costs There are certain myths which claim that Jeduth used to be a huh the use of a certain necklace”
After hearing Lena’s explanation, I quickly interrupted Lilinor’s rant and chose to accept the necklace as the reward
Lilinor looked back at me in a mixture of shock and betrayal, but Jeduth’s memory stepped forward and placed the necklace in my outstretched hand
“Do you accept this reward as satisfactory compensation?”
“Ah, just a moment Jeduth”
Out ofnowhere Viezda decided to interrupt
“Huh, what is it that you want Elf lady?”
“Can I ask you a question?”
“Sure, but we don’t have much time left”
“Time?” Lilinor asked
“Oh right, didn’t I mention this? Now that you’ve received the reward, then the dungeon will soon close, it’s all according to my contract”
“What contract is that?”
“It has to do with those dah Gods Anyways, as it that you were curious about Elf lady?”
“I
heard stories in my tribe that the God Jeduth had a certain pact with the Dark Elves”
“Indeed inal body had a certain connection with them, but you don’t seem to be a Dark Elf”
“I used to be one, but I’ve now become a Moon Elf”
“Oh, is that so? Then the prophecy has come to pass”
“What prophecy?”
I wondered whether it had already been predicted long ago that Viezda would become a Moon Elf
“Right, there was a prophecy circulating a a Moon Elf which would arrive after the civil war between the Gods I feel like there was ”
“What! Why don’t you remember the most crucial part?”
I shouted out but he sinored me
“Indeed Miss Moon Elf, now that you’ve evolved into your current form, then the curse which had been placed on the Dark Elves has been lifted However, the High Gods will no longer be restricted fro with the mortal realm
“Thank you Jeduth”
Viezda bowed down to hirateful
“What restrictions were you talking about?”
“Ah so it was like that?”
Lilinor spoke out softly, clearly she knew so it from me
“Don’t you know about the tih Gods were chased out of the Mortal realm?”
“No, please explain”
“Well that Dragon girl see secret In fact it was the council of the High Gods which were defeated by Metatron’s camp in the war between the Gods However, this resulted in the GodKing hi in order to Metatron away Still, as punishment the Gods were banished froerous creature appeared
“Dangerous creature?”
“Right, it doesn’t matter who or what it is, but rather its potential In fact, a Moon Elf is such a creature, so now that the curse on the Dark Elves had been lifted, the High Gods will soon learn of this fact The pact which my main body had made with the Dark Elves was that their curse would be erased with the arrival of a Moon Elf”
“Then doesn’t thatfor Viezda?”
“It’s fine, since I was able to lift the eternal curse on e”
“Nonsense Viezda, your life belongs to ive it aithout my permission”
“Sorry Master, I hadn’t thought about that”
“Ha, what a self-centered little Elf you are”
Lilinor spoke out, but I was a bit disappointed with her line of thinking
“Hey, spirit of Jeduth, then can this necklace be used to achieve Godhood?”
“How did you know that? Still, even if you do I wouldn’t reco that path”
“Why is that?”
“To become a God you first have to solve the necklace’s curse, and that process alone isdue to that necklace, and it was all a part of Metatron’s plan I definitely don’t recommend you to use it”
“Curse? What kind of curse? How do I beco it?”
“Why is it that you want to becoh as it is”
“I have a lot of people I want to protect, including Viezda over here”
“I see… well if you plan on saving that Moon Elf lady, then this necklace can certainly help”
“Then how does one become a God with the necklace?”
“It’s easy enough You simply have to wear it at all times and overcome the curse you are presented with Only then will you become a God”
“It doesn’t sound too difficult It must be that the curse is very hard to overcome”
“Right, one can’t knohat the curse is before putting the necklace on, and after that it is too late Naturally it will be a terrible curse since the necklace grants you the power of a God, a certain price needs to be paid”
“When will the High Gods become aware of Viezda’s existence?”
“It’s hard to say exactly, but their Angels descend upon the Mortal plane on a regular basis so I’d expect it wouldn’t be too long Well, all long as you are in this dungeon you will be safe because the seal created to trapeyes
“So it’s all okay as long as we are inside the dungeon right?”
“Yes, but in the next five minutes you will be kicked out”
“What? Why so sudden?”
“I’ve already given you your reward But above all else I don’t want to spend any on or Moon Elf”
“Didn’t you h Gods to uphold?”
“Yes, but I’ve already completed my end when I handed you the reward, so I think I’ll be closing the dungeon for the next little while Taking a little break would be nice”
