Chapter 390 Solve The Ancient Puzzle

"Then don't blame me for this," said the God of War with a ferocious stare. The next moment he was in the air, waving his gigantic ax. As the ax grew bigger and bigger, a blazing fire landed on it, and then fell down toward the Jade Dragon like a meteor.

Not to be outdone, the Jade Dragon raised its head and opened its mouth, which emitted a dazzling beam of emerald light. When it collided with the fire of the ax, an eruption of energy spread through the sky over the God Worship Island.

The whole island shook like it was the beginning of the end of the world.

Zachary suddenly returned to his senses and looked around. His eyes burned. To his horror, he found that the miasma had surrounded him and was invading his body. It was too late to hold his breath. He could feel it devouring his will and sending his mind spiraling toward the depths of madness.

But just when he was about to lose himself for good, the heart of the Jade Dragon suddenly cracked, and then turned into dust. In mere seconds, it was nothing more than a memory. At the same time, the miasma around Zachary—in fact, all of the gas there at the center of the God Worship Island—disappeared without a trace.

When his wits had come back to him, Zachary heaved a sigh of relief. "No wonder the Jade Dragon was so resentful after its death," he murmured. "It was killed by the God of War in order to protect the people on this island from being involved in war with other humans. Even though it was an ancient demonic beast, it showed pity and compassion for mankind."

The reason why the Jade Dragon's heart had remained petrified for thousands of years was that it wanted someone to unravel the mystery of its unjust death and to bring about its vindication.

"I have discovered the truth. Rest in peace," Zachary said solemnly. With that, he pressed his hand against the nearest of the creature's giant bones, and then turned away.

Since the miasma was now gone, the martial beasts that lived in the center of the God Worship Island had come to their senses and stopped fighting one other. Thus, Zachary had a safe and uneventful journey back to the jade tablet.

"All right, Mimi, I've discovered the truth. Now how do I solve the ancient puzzle?" he asked.

"Just put your hand on the jade tablet," Mimi instructed.

Zachary nodded and did as he was

cted forms on one's opponent.

The martial arts with elements were also divided into primary, medium, and premium stages. But in the entire Supernal Continent, there were only a few martial arts at the medium stage of Imperial Level, let alone at the premium stage.

Because of that, knowledge contained by the manual in Zachary's hand was invaluable.

However, he hadn't mastered the martial energy with any element, and the Ice Dragon Skill had to be practiced with the water element, so he decided to keep it safe in the warehouse of the system for the time being.

After classifying the other treasures that had been found on the God Worship Island, he converted some of them into treasure-hunting coins and put the rest into the warehouse as well.

When that was done, he returned to the Pilgrimage Space to continue his cultivation.

This time, he was sent to a very strange room. At first glance there was nothing peculiar about it, because it resembled a weapon refining room. The strange thing was that there were at least one hundred MH weapons there, all of them identical.

"Mimi, where am I?" Zachary asked.

"This is the mission mode of the Pilgrimage Space. After completing the quest in this level, you move on to the next one, until you complete them all."

"Mission mode? That means this is the space created by the system, not the real world, right? No wonder it looks so strange," Zachary murmured. The Pilgrimage Space combined the real world and the virtual space, so it was normal for such things as the mission mode to appear.
