809 Real Face

The sudden door was plain and simple, there was nothing noteworthy about it.

It wasn't big by all means, neither was it made of special materials.

There wasn't even any secret runes, words or mystical patterns carved on it either.

Regardless of how he looked at it, the door was a plain, simple one-sided opening door that appeared in everyone's house within the dungeon world.

It could really be a normal door if it didn't come out from the brilliance of a thousand evil eyes.

What was the door? The Emperor's Legacy?

Such thoughts appeared almost instinctively in Kieran's mind but were quickly denied because he saw notifications popping out in his vision stating that he had completed the main mission.

[Completed special event: The Fated Battle!]

[Complete main mission: Destroy the Emperor's Legacy!]

[Player will leave the dungeon in 5 minutes]

[Please take whatever items you wish to keep with you.]

[Note: Any items that exceed the maximum weight will be discarded!]

…

"It isn't the Emperor's Legacy? Then what is this door?"

Curiosity bloomed out of control in Kieran's heart.

Likewise, it also changed Kieran's mind of rushing back into the battlefield to collect the few Magic rank drops because his stingy scrooge nature told him the things beyond the door were much more valuable.

Though the thoughts about potential gains didn't make him lose his mind.

Since he had the experience of entering another world through some door in [The Shaman's Partner], he started to tidy up his backpack and calculate the time.

He wasn't sure what was behind the door, so he tried his best to control the timing within a safe range, around 3 to 5 seconds left on the clock.

The duration was enough to enable Kieran to catch a glimpse of the world on the other side and be safe from accidental dangers from unexpected outcomes.

5 seconds were left on the countdown and Kieran pushed open the door.

The scene behind the door was clouded by darkness, even with Kieran's vision, he couldn't see through it.

Kieran had expected this outcome though. He waited for another 2 seconds, leaving only 3 seconds on the counter before he stepped through the door.

After slight dizziness, Kieran's sight suddenly widened up.

The dark night turned into day, the underground roomed went back to the surface.

The wide crater was instantly replaced by buildings and skyscrapers that rose up from the ground.

An airplane even flew past Kieran's sight when he gazed into the sky.

"The modern world?" Kieran raised a brow.

Though the remaining time didn't provide further chances for him to continue his inspection. The scene before his eyes shook him and he was returned to his own game lobby.

[Primordial Invasion III: As time zips by, a thousand years have passed. The passing of time cause people to forget about the old history, leaving behind absurd and wild legends, including yourself…]

[Main Mission: Starts when player enters the dungeon!]

…

Kieran had expected the low ratings a while ago and after stepping through the door, he had a hunch that it would initiate a new special dungeon.

Though the background details of [Primordial Invasion III] made him frown.

"Primordial invasion...primordial invasion…" Kieran muttered softly and while in his mind, he was recalling the obvious modern scenery.

Gradually, a theory popped up in his heart and soon after that Kieran's face became odd but before he could verify his own theory, he was interrupted by the unusual occurrence behind his backpack.

The skill book [Gezardrake Sacrificial Spell] flew out of the [Crimson Ghost Stomach], floated in front of Kieran in mid-air and shook non-stop.

The book was shaking extremely fast, to the point that it created afterimages in front of Kieran.

A gloomy golden radiance was shining from the skill book once again and it was much brighter than before. In fact, [Gezardrake Sacrificial Spell]'s radiance couldn't be considered as bright anymore, it was blinding.

Kieran had to take a few steps back with squinted eyes.

His face wasn't showing any worries though, because he wasn't in the dungeon world anymore but the absolutely safe game lobby.

Even if [Gezardrake Sacrificial Spell] wanted to try anything fishy, it would be rendered useless.

Everything then unfolded within Kieran's expectations.

When the blinding light reached a certain limit, Kieran clearly heard a sharp scream of a curse. He couldn't tell whether was it a male or female but the curses told him, the owner of the voice wasn't friendly.

Pang!

As if a chestnut broke, the [Gezardrake Sacrificial Spell] shattered.

It didn't turn into anything strange but transformed from a book to a palm-sized disk.

The disk was made out of gold yet didn't possess a golden luster but was heavily mottled, even the edges had some irregular cuttings.

[Name: Emerder's Deal (Damaged)]

[Type: Wondrous Item]

[Rarity: I]

[Attack/Defense: None]

[Attribute: Equal Deal, 1/3]

[Effect: None]

[Prerequisite: Mystical Knowledge (Master)]

[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]

[Remark: Emerder is willing to make a deal with any intellectual beings, as long as you satisfy it, it will also satisfy you!]

…

[Equal Deal: State your request and barter it off with of similar value]

[Note 1: Damaged items needed to be repaired before used]

[Note 2: Trade items have limits on their values]

…

When Kieran picked up the disk, the attributes of [Emerder's Deal] appeared in his vision and at the same time the cost to repair the disk.

It didn't require any rare items to repair, just points but however…

The amount required had outrageously exceeded Kieran's imagination.

"1 MILLION POINTS?"

Kieran gasped coldly.
