Chapter 514

TL: xLordFifth

ED:

To control this place would mean gaining a foothold in conquering the New Continent. Its a hub for not only NPCs but also players carrying secret orders from various kingdoms.

Thats why its somewhat awkward to form parties here.

Its hard to trust anyone. Especially since Fernang pinpointed an exact location. If he reaches there, hes certain to gain a discovery achievement. Knowing the value of information on the New Continent, its natural to hesitate to travel with anyone other than truly trusted players. Leeha suddenly realized his own thoughts and was surprised. Even someone like him, who generally trusts people easily, was thinking this way.

Other players must also be highly cautious and investigative, especially in the New Continent, where only advanced players venture.

Leeha could easily predict the strife that would soon arise from this land. But finding someone trustworthy to call or look for? That wasnt easy either.

Ah, the time pressure! Its not the 150 days thats the issue I have to fly to Hong Kong tomorrow!

There was less than 24 hours left in reality!

Probably, after a day or three in Middle Earth time, he would really be facing the situation of imminent departure. Waiting for other players to clear the demon sources was too time-consuming. He had to move alone.

What youre muttering about is unclear, but if its thinking you need, you dont have to do it alone, Leeha-ssi.

Eh? Haha! Thats right. Im not alone.

Huh?

No, to be precise, he wasnt alone. Leeha smiled at Blaugrun, who looked up at him with a blank expression. Party play? He already had a reliable ally.

Leeha pulled out a magazine.

In that case, theres no choice. Whether its a demon source or not

Click-!

Lets try facing it just the two of us. His dramatic insertion drew momentary attention from those around him, but that was all. Blaugrun used a mass teleportation as soon as Leeha gave the coordinates.

Soon, all traces of their presence were gone.

[Key to the Realm of Spirits (One-time use, then expires)]

Effect: Allows one entry into a spirit realm.

Description: A remnant from a divine being. The spirit kings born in his abode had a profound influence on all life in Middle Earth. However, the deity always rejected unilateral influence. To allow the creatures of Middle Earth to also affect spirits, this key was crafted.

[Doors appear. Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Luck- and more than ten others. Each one leads to a spirit realm. Can I only choose one? I decide to try, leaving this book behind in case I dont return.]

An item revealed through the records of the greatest Wood Elf spirit mage, Alren Srna, who researched all things spirit and was the first to contract with all nineteen spirit kings.

Hmm Blaugrun-ssi, do you know anything about the Key to the Realm of Spirits?

I am not a spirit.

An unexpected reply from Blaugrun, who usually chattered away even without being asked. But when he really needed information, Blaugrun claimed ignorance.Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

Then, let me rephrase the question. Do you know how many types of spirits there are? Or anything about the spirit mage Alren Srna?

Thats the same question.

Huh?

Alren Srna, a Wood Elf who once piqued the interest of dragons. He contracted with nineteen spirit kings and then declared there were no more natural spirits. That

was during my time as a hatchling well, not the recent hatchling phase.

If Blaugrun was a hatchling at that time, it meant Alren Srna, the Wood Elf, must have been an individual from at least 1,000 years ago.

Whooooosh!

Until a moment ago, the area resembled a wasteland overrun with weeds, barren except for a lone tree in the distance, and devoid of any animals.

But now?

Grrrrr

Creeeek- Creeeek

Weve got- humans here-

Countless monsters appeared, too many to count. Not just in number, but their types were diverse as if a dungeons worth of monsters were squeezed into a small space.

Blaugrun-ssi? You heard me, right?

One by one, they are around level 260 to 280 in human terms. Lets go.

What? Where? Wait a minute!

Just follow me. Ill protect you. I know thats what youd want, Leeha-ssi.

Before Leeha could react, Blaugrun began to transform, emitting a teal light.

Leeha knew immediately what it was Dragon Form. He hadnt seen Blaugrun in this form since he reached the Juvenile stage.

Big- no, small?!

Relative to his memories of an adult Blaugrun, this form was significantly smaller, though still larger than Leeha.

A fearsome sight to enemies, yet lacking the overwhelming terror of an Ancient Dragon like Bailephus, Kuzgunaksh, or Bahamut.

Leeha felt a mix of joy and slight disappointment. Riding on Blaugrun now seemed plausible.

Kyaaaaaaaah!

- And hed probably bite my head off for suggesting it.

Blaugrun roared, a sound filled with the assertion of his existence. This Bronze Dragon, reborn through a mythical item after a death in his Adult stage, now proudly displayed his true dragon form, despite being a Juvenile.

The roar was a testament to his achievement, and Leeha looked on with admiration. It was a different kind of pride from when he had fed Blaugrun the growth accelerator.

Karararara!

Caw- CawKa!

Blaugrun-ssi! Flying monsters!

But were the monsters of the New Continent similarly moved? Unlike those of the Old Continent, none of them halted at the roar of a Juvenile Dragon, which normally would have a substantial status effect.

The creatures from four-winged crows to giant birds that were mere skeletons, even boss-level raptor monsters from Candle Castle numbered well over fifty.

As Leeha shouted, Blaugrun twisted his long neck to look at him.

[Dont worry, just take care of yourself.]

The dragon was smiling. In an instant, teal granules gathered before his face. Before Leeha could react, scales on Blaugruns chin flashed.

Electricity surged, channeled through the mana emanating from his Dragon Heart.

Ugh!

Leeha covered his ears.

He had to close his eyes against the blinding light but managed to catch a glimpse of the breath attack.
