Translator:HHEditor:HH

Thanks.

Yeon-woo nodded his head at the Monkey Kings vestige. He hadnt really helped him, but it was true that he got this opportunity.

And Yeon-woo was able to learn something after seeing the vestige. That he still had a long way to go. He also became sure that he would be able to reach that point if he continued to train.

I know you dont really think that.

The Monkey King smirked and waved.

The space shifted and a red portal opened.

Then thats enough talking. If you leave through here, you can go back to where you came from.

Yeon-woo was about to step inside the portal, but he turned his head back after he remembered something.

Uh, also.

Didnt you hear me? The questions you..

Wasnt it only questions about the quest that were limited?

Mm? It wasnt a question about the quest?

The Monkey King tilted his head. As if asking what he had to ask him.

Yeon-woo moved back from the portal and extended his right arm to him.

Do you know about this bracelet?

Bracelet?

The Monkey Kings vestige examined Yeon-woos bracelet thinking that he would flick him hard if the bracelet wasnt worth anything.

No, he didnt know if the word bracelet was appropriate. Perhaps handcuffs would be better. The black chains that reached up to Yeon-woos arms stood out. They were as blck as the night sky.

The Monkey King looked at the bracelet with an interested expression, but his face hardened after examining it closely.

You, this?

I think its made of the same material as the Ruyi Bang. Am I right?

Where did you get this?

Yeon-woo thought about whether he should tell him the truth, but he was the person who asked the question. So he skipped the important parts and said Astrape had taken on this form when he was in the Olympus Treasury.

And the vestiges face turned strange.

Its function?

I think it has to do with souls.

It deals with the dead?

Yes.

And how powerful is it?

Yeon-woo lightly waved his hand and summoned the Monster Portents.The shadows stretched out and monstrous creatures stepped out.

The vestiges eyes were completely narrowed, deep in thought. It was a bit awkward seeing him this serious because he had been so calm.

But Yeon-woo hoped for the secret of the bracelet to be revealed. Because only then would he be able to unlock the remaining options.

Even Soul Magicians cant do this. You have to be at least the level of..

There were countless types of players in the Tower, but of them, it was hard to find someone who skillfully handled souls. That was how clear the line between life and death was, and even if they could handle them, there were limits.

But the vestige understood as soon as he saw the Black Kings Despair. This was an artifact that surpassed logic.

And since it was an artifact that swallowed Astrape. He had heard about the spear from rumors. This bracelet might give the Ruyi Bang a run for its money.

But what pulled his interest the most was what it was made of. Godly Precious Metal. To think that the rare metal to make the Ruyi Bang would be used here. And it was completely made of the metal.

First, its Godly Precious Metal like you said.

Yeon-woo nodded his head.

However, I dont know what it is no matter how many times I looked at it. Theres some things that remind me of it, but it looked completely different. And its level is high. This is definitely a weapon of a god. Definitely.

Yeon-woo was disappointed at the fact that he hadnt been able to discover what it was this time tiehr, but his eyes sparkled at the last part.

A weapon of a god.

He had guessed it was something similar to that when it swallowed Astrape, but now he was sure.

This might be something that could be compared to Aegis, no, it might be more powerful than Aegis.

Then who was the Black King?

You said there were two more artifacts like this?

Yes.

I dont know who made it, but Im sure. Neck and feet. Theres additional artifacts. And theyre probably similarly shaped to this.

The Monkey Kings vestige crossed his arms.

Do you wanna know something funny?

What is it?

Its known that Godly Precious Metal is so rare that even gods and demons cant use it, right?

Yes.

But did you know its the opposite?

What do you..?

Its not an artifact that they cant get enough of, but theyre actually afraid of it.

Yeon-woos eyes widened at the unexpected sentence.

The Monkey King snickered like Yeon-woos expression was funny and continued to speak.

This metal is the sole tool that can seal gods and demons.

..!

Godly Precious Metal was used to control gods who did bad deeds. Or to ban them. The Ruyi Bang was used to seal off Devil Kings too.

Yeon-woo thought of the legend of the Monkey King who had traveled with Tan Sanzang. At the time, the Devil Kings who had been in their way were easily pushed away. And the Journey to the West was what described that.

The same goes for your tool.

The Monkey Kings vestige stroked his chin.

It looks like something used to bind a criminal. And it turned into the property of the criminal through its vestige because the criminal was bound in it for a long time. I think its someone related to death. But thats all I can know.

Yeon-woo nodded his head. This was enough.

He became sure that the Black King was a powerful person that even gods were afraid of, and that he was related to death.

Then his range of research would become smaller. He felt like he would be able to find who it was if he closed the range just a bit more.

Yeon-woo expressed his gratitude again. The Monkey King waved his hand like it was nothing.

I saw something interesting for the first time in a while. I didnt know there was someone like my actual body. Ah, and if you meet my actual body, dont show that. His greed for treasure is extraordinary.

Ill be careful.

And he disappeared into the red portal.

With that, the imaginary world closed.

Hehe. Interesting guy.

The Monkey Kings vestiges eyes sparkled.

Actually, from when Yeon-woo had entered, he had been peeking into his different appearances.

Someone who awoke the energy of a dragon. He reminds me of someone. Doesnt he?

The vestige raised his head to the sky. The dragon god looked down at him and nodded his head.

Since his old owner had fought like him once as well. He felt a strange deja vu.

He didnt express it, but the dragon god had actually given Yeon-woo a lot of benefits. From releasing him from his tiredness with the Cintamani stone and letting him relax in the breeze.

The vestige looked at the guy reminiscing about the past and turned around, bitterly smiling.

And something came to his mind.

He had said he didnt know what the bracelet was, but he actually did. He just didnt recognize it right away.

That material and form was only used on one person, so it was easy to tell whos it was.

That Hermes bastard, I guess hell be busy.

And while he was muttering mysterious words to himself. The Monkey Kings vestige felt something sharp and twisted his head.

The space was trying to be opened.

Yeon-woo thought it might be Yeon-woo because he left something behind. But realizing that the wavelength was unfamiliar, his face hardened.

The dragon god twisted his body and thrust the Cintamani stone forward. His face settled calmly.

This was the imaginary world of the Monkey Kings vestige. This was like his holy territory.

Even though he was only the shedding, he was still pretty strong. So it was impossible for the greatest gods on the 98th floor to force themselves in.

So the fact that they were easily entering meant one thing.

His actual body was moving, or it was something related to him. Since no one would ask for permission to enter their own home.
