Book 10: Chapter 23: Soryuu
Going back in time to the moment right after Halt and his comrades discovered the method to break Mius moms curse
They decided to create a curse-breaker item called [Kataras Drop].
The ingredients they needed to create that item was recorded in the book that was written when the world was created. Luna read the book aloud.
The first thing we need to create Kataras drop is the Nine-Tailed Fox Fur.
Master, is this okay?
Youko pulled out her own hair and handed it to Halt.
Thanks, Youko.
Next, scale of a colored dragon.
Luna, is Kokuryuu Black Dragon okay?
.Hmm Yes. The species doesnt matter as long as its a colored dragon.
Really. Then Urk!
Ryuushin suddenly ripped off a scale from his arm.
Uuu. O-Ouch. Here, Halt.
Sorry, Ryuushin. Ill Heal
Heal!
Hinata casted healing magic on Ryuushin faster than Halt did.
Ryuushin-sama, are you alright? Is it painful?
Its really brave of you to peel off your own scale, Ryuushin-sama. Youre amazing. Thats why here a little r-reward for you.
Hinata gently patted Ryuushin on the head.
He was a bit embarrassed, but it was also obvious that he was happy.
Luna, what else do we need?
Holy Water and the fruit of Yggdrasil.
We have stocks of both.
Halt opened a hole in the air, and he took out a vial filled with holy water and Yggdrasils fruit from the enormous stocks he kept in the Spirit Realm.
We also need another fluid aside from Holy Water, its Spirit Water
Halt-sama, please have this.
Mai and Mei handed a vial with fluid to Halt.
Is this Spirit Water?Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com
Yes!
Spirit Water is supposed to be created exclusively by the Water Spirit King
Luna mumbled.
Thanks, Mai, Mei. Luna, any other ingredient we need?
Y-Yes. The last one would be the claw of the Soryuu, the Ancestral Dragon.
W-Whats this?
It was the first time that Halt was involuntarily teleported since his incarnation into Halts body.
Its been a long time since you contacted me.
!?
A voice suddenly resounded above Halt.
There was a gigantic wall in front of him but it was no wall.
It was the belly of a ginormous living thing.
Halt was now standing on top of a cliff that was just like a wall. There was a dragon that was so huge its size far surpassed any other dragon and it was right in front of him.
Its been a long time since you came here to play, so what are you being dumbstruck for?
The ginormous dragon drew his face closer to Halt.
If not for Halts [Static Status] curse, he would have been long blown away just by the dragons exhalation.
A-Are you Soryuu-sama?
YeahHm? Are you perhaps the first Halt?
Halt was confused when Soryuu said he was the first. It was the first time he ever met Soryuu.
FirstMay I know what that means?
Its fine if you dont understand. I confirm now that you really are the first one.
Halt was further confused because Soryuus answers didnt make any sense to be considered as answers. Soryuu started to move, ignoring his puzzlement.
Halt the First. Im going to take back the power that I lent you.
Soryuu took a deep breath after saying that.
Along with a huge amount of air, a massive amount of mana was taken away from Halt.
Taken away Well, even if it was so, it didnt affect Halt one bit; it was utterly meaningless for him because his status had been fixed due to the Evil Gods curse.
Ahm, I dont quite follow, what does that mean?
Well, its fine even if you dont know. What Im telling you is that the next time you come here, you can borrow my power without any reservation.
Halt couldnt follow the conversation at all, but he could no longer ask anything because he was overwhelmed by the existence of the Soryuu that was in front of him.
Right, the you this time around wants my claw, dont you Here, is this enough?
Soryuu used his own fang to crush the tip of his gigantic claw, and he placed it in front of Halt.
T-Thank you very much!!
Halt didnt understand what was going on, but he managed to obtain his target ingredient.
Mm. You dont have much time now, right? Ill be looking forward to when youre going back here to play.
Soryuu uttered those words, then he teleported Halt back to his original place.
Once Halt was gone, Soryuu muttered to himself.
The next time well meet will be in 10, 000 years.
