Chapter 285: A Strange Date Between Him and Her

After watching the video until the very end, Minhyuk realized what the words that the Predatory Snake had told him meant.

‘Sacrifice, regret, birth.’

The name ‘Incarnation of Gluttony’ was a name that was given to Kongie by the three Great Incarnations after his death. In addition, they hailed him as their king in honor of his sacrifice for them.

Then, the notifications rang.

[The video of the Birth of the Incarnation of Gluttony (2) has ended.]

[You can now read the Incarnation of Gluttony’s Diary Entry (2): ‘I’m Fine’.]

[A quest will be triggered once you read Diary Entry (2).]

Minhyuk quickly read the contents of Diary Entry (2) as soon as the notifications rang.

[The friends that awakened me locked me up in a room that was all white. They look like they’re scared of me. However, I’m fine. I understood them. When the wolf with white fur attacked me, I could tell that they locked me in this Ten Thousand Cold Iron Room because of fear. It seems like they’re more afraid of me than what I initially thought.

But I still like them a lot. I didn’t want to hurt them. I didn’t want them to be afraid of me. So all I did was stare at them from inside the room.

I did not know why, but watching them like that made me cry again. I felt so happy just watching them. They were the first people that made me smile.

I also heard that they will have their final fight tomorrow as I listened to them in this Ten Thousand Cold Iron Room.

I also want to be a source of strength for them.

I want to help them.

I want to be ‘friends’ with them.]

The words ended there.

Minhyuk thought that the words and the videos would disappear after he finished watching just like what happened earlier but that wasn’t the case at all. Instead, he received another set of notifications.

[You are the owner of the Incarnation of Gluttony.]

[The supplement to the Incarnation of Gluttony’s last Diary Entry would be released.]

Then, the letters were listed right after.

[When I opened my eyes again, they were there. They used the Book of Taboos to save my life. Although they couldn’t see me, I could still see them. I felt happy that they were finally my friends. They kept on saying sorry to me but I was fine.

Friends, stop saying sorry. I’m happier than ever at this very moment. This is the very first time that I ever had ‘friends’.

To the person that’s reading this diary, I’m asking for a favor.

Please be my friend.

I will not betray you and I will care about you more than anyone else.

So please.]

Minhyuk read the letter until the end. He felt heartbroken from the words that were written in the diary.

Kongie was a very energetic and happy pet. There were times when he was ‘Serious Kongie’ and there were times when he was ‘Playful and Mischievous Kongie’. But Minhyuk was certain that Kongie cared about him and Minhyuk believed that he also cherished Kongie.

And after watching all these videos, Minhyuk was certain of one thing.

‘This video is a hint of what’s going to happen.’

The episode that would happen in the future. The hint that was related to that episode was extremely obvious. There was also the black dragon that warped his body just before the seal was completed. Perhaps, this was a sign that he would reappear once again. That was something that could easily be interpreted from the hints that he had gathered. And......

‘You can make a whole roast with the black dragon!!!’

There were a lot of recipes that Minhyuk wanted to try in Athenae. And one of them was a Dragon’s Breath Roast!!!

It’s somewhat possible!

Then, Minhyuk returned to the place where he was before. After returning, he immediately checked the fragment of the golden crown.

(Golden Crown Fragment)

Applicable for Use: Incarnation of Gluttony

Special Abilities: Can open and awaken the powers and abilities of the Incarnation of Gluttony.

Description: This is a fragment of the golden crown that contains the power of the Sealed Incarnation of Gluttony. Only after you have collected all of the fragments of the Golden Crown will you become the true incarnation.

Minhyuk immediately used the golden crown fragment on Kongie.

[You have used the Fragment of the Golden Crown.]

[The Fragment of the Golden Crown is applied to Kongie, the Incarnation of Gluttony.]

At that exact same moment, the golden crown fragment that Kongie received from Minhyuk started to move. The fragment of the golden crown slowly landed on Kongie’s head before being sucked in his body.

[All of the fragments of the Golden Crown must be collected first before the Golden Crown appears.]

Then, the notifications continued to ring.

[The fragment of the Golden Crown will open up a part of the Sealed Incarnation of Gluttony.]

Callauhel couldn’t help but feel delighted after hearing more information about the Maestro of Destruction. Of course, there was a setback of growing his kingdom step by step. He needed to grow his own kingdom into an empire before taking over the entire continent. But it was a fascinating thought for him. Controlling Athenae, the world’s current largest lake and mountain.

Callauhel shook his head.

“The power that you can use to walk the path that I walked lies in the Demon World’s Tower’s 40th floor. You have to go there together with your most loyal subjects. In addition, your loyal subjects will bring you a ‘piece of the shattered blade’. With the pieces of the shattered blade, you will be able to gain the power to hunt Diablo at the end of the quest. You can’t kill Diablo unless you have the power of the Demon King or the Ankhassads’ judgement from the daughter of the Demon King. But as an exception, collecting the six pieces of the shattered blade will give you the ‘Dagger of Mortality’. Diablo could easily be killed with just a single attack from this blade. Doing this will let you sit on the throne at the end.”

That was it. That was the end.

Callauhel had summarized everything from the clues and points that he had gathered.

1 Go to the 40th Floor.

2 This has something to do with using my strongest subordinates.

3 My loyal subjects should pass the trials and give me the pieces of the shattered blade.

4 I need to gather the pieces of the shattered blade to get the Dagger of Mortality. I need to use that dagger to stab Diablo straight in the chest.

Then, he suddenly asked a question.

“Why do I need to stab him all at once?”

“Just like I said, you can never win against Diablo without the power of the Demon King or Ankhassads’ judgement from his daughter.”

“Who knows? I don’t think it’s right for you to say that you can’t win completely against him.”

King Arthur couldn’t help but laugh at his lofty words.

Callauhel was conceited. He had always placed people under his feet ever since he was young.

Just as his face was about to crumple, King Arthur spoke once again.

“He’s a sly and villainous demon that has been created from the condensed powers of the three great demons. Although a long time had passed and he had already weakened, based on the calculations by you, foreigners, his strength is still comparable to a Lv700 being.”

“......!”

Callauhel’s current level was at Lv529.

‘Perhaps there are still a lot of things that haven’t been cleared up in Athenae?’

Callauhel had no choice but to swallow his pride.

“The Dagger of Mortality has a hidden, or whatever it was, power that can bring your opponent to a ‘stunned’ state. If you use that power, it wouldn’t be hard for you to press a sword on the stunned Diablo’s chest.”

Callauhel nodded his head before adding another point to his summaries. The final point, number ‘5’.

5 Putting all these things together, I estimate that collecting those pieces will not be an easy task.

In fact, he knew that his final trial would easily be resolved once he had the dagger on his hands. It wouldn’t be hard to pierce Diablo’s chest with his sword once he was in a stunned state.

Not long after, King Arthur’s faint body disappeared and scattered in the air. After seeing that, Callauhel decided to summon his men. He was also a Monarch Class so he could easily summon his guild members. But his class was a bit special. It was because Callauhel could summon his guild members, party members or even servants.

And the people that he was trying to summon were all of the world’s rankers including Deru, the 11th ranked warrior class user, and Leverlin, the 12th ranked tamer class user.

‘I’ll become the Maestro of Destruction soon......!’

Meanwhile, Ankheseramun was telling Minhyuk the locations of the remaining fragments of the golden crown. The place was none other than the 50th floor, or the top of the Demon World’s Tower.

One of the Demon World’s Tower’s creators and one of the Four Heavenly Kings had informed her that a fragment of the golden crown was located in that place together with the treasure that could help him make a Half-God oven.

It had been Ankheseramun’s mission to speak of the location of the fragment of the golden crown to the rightful owner of the Incarnation of Gluttony. But right now, she was looking at Minhyuk with confusion painted on her face.

“Wh, what?”

“The one and only daughter of the Demon King, Ankheseramun-nim.”

“Th, that...... How......”

This was a fact that only a few people knew about.

How the hell did you know about this?

This was something that only the Demon King and the Four Heavenly Kings knew.

No, to be exact......

It was the information that only the Sage Aruvel, who once served the Demon King, knew.

But how does Minhyuk know that?

Then, he spoke of something more incomprehensible.

“Can you show us Ankhassads’ Judgement?”

What Minhyuk asked for was something incomprehensible. He had asked her to show and use the Ankhassads’ Judgement on Kongie, the owner of the golden crown.

TL’s corner!

I’m not crying. You’re crying. Baby Kongie!!!! I volunteer! I’ll be your friend. Also... I already know where this is going. I feel somewhat, no not really, bad for Callauhel and his money is the answer to everything attitude.

PR’s corner!

Oh, I see what Minhyuk’s up to... Callauhel, to quote a funny skeleton, “You’re gonna have a bad time...”
