Chapter 908

[Your rewards are being discussed!]

[Your rewards are being discussed!]

It took Minhyuk quite a while to clear the First Gate; hence, he was pleased to rest while the discussion was ongoing. After a lengthy debate, the notifications once again rang in his ears.

[The discussion for your rewards is over!]

[You have killed a total of 350,000 in 6 minutes and 46 seconds!]

[You have broken the record inside the Fortress of the Transcendentals Fantasy!]

[You have gained 100,000 platinum.]

[You have gained 1,000 REP.]

[You have gained 500 CHA.]

[After a discussion, you will be rewarded with the Leaders Treasure Chest.]

The leaders treasure chest?

Minhyuks attention was immediately drawn toward the Leaders Treasure Chest that the Fortress of the Transcendentals Fantasy had given him.

Is he the one who led the Transcendentals?

Every group had a leader who led and managed the members. And since the leaders stood above the group, they likely possessed something special.

Fufu.

Perhaps there was something delicious inside of that treasure chest. Maybe there were dishes that the Transcendentals enjoyed hidden there?

Please, let something delicious come out! COME OOOOOON!!! Minhyuk shouted at the top of his lungs, praying desperately for something delicious to come out as he opened the leaders chest without hesitation.

Clatter Clatter!

The leaders treasure chest, made from old and sturdy wood, began to shake and tremble like crazy.

Clack!

Finally, the treasure chests lock opened. Surprisingly enough, there were two items inside the treasure chest. When he saw the contents, Minhyuk could not help but shout happily, Lets go!!!

This was because one of the items inside the treasure chest was food.

[You have acquired 1 kilogram of pork ribs marinated and preserved with the Pinnacle Growth Elixir.]

[You have acquired the Note They Left for That Child.]

Minhyuk did not know the Pinnacle Growth Elixir, but it was okay. Everything was fine as long as it tasted good. However, before he could check the items thoroughly, something very unusual happened.

Usually, treasure boxes would disintegrate and disappear after the contents inside had been taken away. But the leaders treasure chest did not disappear at all.

[The Leaders Treasure Chest will give you additional rewards whenever your level increases!]

[You must be at Level 700 before obtaining additional rewards from the Leaders Treasure Chest!]

...?!

The fact that Minhyuk could obtain additional rewards every time he leveled up was enough to show how rare and precious this item was.

More importantly, it might give me something delicious for the next reward too, right?

Minhyuk hid the treasure chest. Before he ate the pork ribs, he checked the note they left for that child.

[We love you, Ruffiso. More than anyone else in this world.]

...!

Minhyuk was shocked when he saw the note. Why? Because the child was named Ruffiso. Was it such a coincidence that he had recently taken the life of Duke Ruffiso as a punishment for his evildoings?

[And were sorry.]

At this moment, Minhyuk finally grew sure of one fact. Duke Ruffiso was one of the transcendentals. And from the looks of it, he was the child of whom Minhyuk presumed to be their leader. Then, at that moment, something happened.

[Duke Ruffisos Something that He was Chasing is reacting to the note!]

[Duke Ruffiso might have died, but he still wonders why his parents abandoned him!]

[The Sudden Quest: The Secret of Duke Ruffisos Birth has been created!]

[Sudden Quest: The Secret of Duke Ruffisos Birth.]

Rank: S

Requirements: The one that obtained Duke Ruffisos Something that He was Chasing filled with his grudge and resentment.

Rewards: ???

Penalty for Failure: Something that He was Chasing will burn and disappear.

Description: The grudge and resentment that Duke Ruffiso had left behind after his death was left in the form of the Something that He was Chasing. And it wants to find the secret of his birth even after his death. Find out the secret of Duke Ruffisos birth and reveal it to his soul filled with grudge and resentment, and you might receive rewards.

Hmm.

Assuming that the leaders child was indeed Ruffiso, they expected and believed that Ruffiso would return to them and become their leader. In other words, these rewards were left here to allow them to help Ruffiso reach the leader's level.

They are the Transcendentals. Thats why the rewards are

[Warning!]

[Danger!]

[Warning!]

[Danger!]

[The Transcendentals Battle Energy is suppressing you!]

Ugh!

A tremendous amount of pressure appeared and weighed down on Minhyuk.

What the hell is this?

This was far more overwhelming compared to the time when he met Helenia. And when Minhyuk was left struggling hard to endure the pressure, similar notifications rang several times in a row.

[Warning!]

[Danger!]

[Warning!]

[Danger!]

This meant that several Transcendentals appeared in this place. Not long after, Minhyuk caught the gaze of a bald man with a gigantic build. The man was just walking but was releasing overwhelmingly heavy pressure on Minhyuk.

[The Transcendentals Battle Energy is suppressing you!]

Minhyuk realized, Are you telling me that the Transcendentals have a passive skill called Battle Energy?!

It was an overwhelmingly powerful force. Nerva Sephiroths Emperors Authority was like a childs play compared to the Transcendentals passive skill that was weighing down on him right now.

Finally, the Transcendentals made their appearance.

[Transcendental Bender. Level 1,275.]

This is crazy!

Minhyuk was appalled. This was the first time he had encountered an NPC whose level was over Level 1,200! Even Helenia, whom he had met before, was only around Level 1,000. Of course, that was only the case because most of her powers had been sealed.

[Transcendental Nekk. Level 1,107.]

[Transcendental Bernie. Level 1,130.]

[Transcendental Cochnus. Level 1,086.]

[Transcendental Vaghan. Level 1,009.]

The rest of the Transcendentals had surpassed Level 1,000. This was very rare, even for the gods. Only a few of the gods had surpassed Level 1,000.

No. I dont think any of the gods I know have surpassed that level?

At this moment, Minhyuk realized what kind of existence the Transcendentals were. He could not help but grow tense when he saw them walk towards them.

Theres no guarantee that they will view me favorably.

That was why Minhyuk was very nervous. He might be nervous, but he never intended to lose to them.

Thuuuuuuud!

His knees, about to fold and force him to kneel, stretched out again. This was one of the effects of the Eight Pillars Candidate title, The Unyielding One. The Unyielding One could help him resist any forces that tried to suppress him once.

The expression on the faces of Nekk and Bender, the two Transcendentals walking upfront, changed when they saw Minhyuk remain standing.

Someone with that measly strength can resist the pressure from our power?

How?

They could not understand the man at all. In just a blink, they had already arrived in front of Minhyuk.

Minhyuk looked apprehensively at the people standing before him, who were wearing serious expressions. Then, the man named Bender raised his hand and smiled awkwardly.

Hi?

???

Why was this man acting as if they were close? Minhyuk glanced at the other Transcendentals. He could see that the Transcendentals who had been looking at him with solemn expressions before were now sporting awkward smiles, just like the woman mage named Bernie. The guy named Nekk coughed while awkwardly asking him how he had been. Even the guys named Vaghan and Cochnus were smiling softly at him.

Why are they acting as if we are close?

That was when Minhyuk saw them glancing at one spot. What spot were they secretly taking a peek at? It was none other than the place where Minhyuk had eaten the pork ribs earlier. As someone who had been hungry most of his life, he knew the tell-tale signs and actions of someone hungry.

Although Bender was trying his hardest not to show it, he gulped dryly as he licked his lips while glancing at that exact spot. Nekks nose was twitching. He looked like someone who had not seen nor smelled the scent of meat in a long while.

Minhyuk, who understood the situation quickly, grinned widely. This

If he did this correctly, he might find himself in a situation in which both parties would benefit each other.
