It was a diamond that was shaped like a fish scale. It shimmered with the light of the golden treeHe thought the object he was looking for was more abstract. Maybe like a magic ball that could float around. He didn't expect that he was looking for treasure all along.Gin took the scale from the box. He lifted it high to get a better view. It looked expensive but ordinary. What should he do about it?He put the scale to his chest, just like when he absorbed the dragon's core. Nothing happened and no notification from the system. Gin was irritated by how the system never gave him clear instructions.Should he eat it? Gin took the scale to his mouth, but before he could eat the scales, his body flew up and crashed into the wall.The side wall of the room was destroyed, and some wall hit his body. Gin brushed it away easily. In the opposite direction, he saw the Queen lifting a giant black stone with her magic. The rock flew towards Gin and again knocked down the wall.Gin was fine but t
Intense pain assaulted Gin. It felt like thousands of knives were stabbing him from the inside, tearing his skin and trying to get out. It hurt so much that he couldn't open his eyes.Then a feeling of nausea and burning heat was felt in his chest, rising to the throat. Gin spat it out but nothing came out. He coughed, the burning feeling had disappeared a bit but he was still short of breath.The relief only lasted a few moments. After that, his heart throbbed very violently. The pain that made him want to die.Gargan could understand the pain, but she didn't feel it directly. She panicked and was confused when she saw her master fall to the ground. Meanwhile, Leogus was still calm even though his forehead was furrowed.Gin's heart felt like it was bounded by a rope and pulled together, squeezing it until it was almost crushed. Then there was a cracking sound from all over his bones. Gin was sprawled in the middle. He couldn't move as his bones started to break one by one.“Aarrggh!”
The old man came back to life. Not only that, his body was young and fit again like the last time Gin saw him with Gerald. He was indeed that general who first fought Amenus.No one could say anything because they were too shocked, not even Gin himself.The old man sat watching his muscular arms. It was like a dream for him. He was almost carried up into the clouds and then pulled back to Kiran."I-I'm alive!" He exclaimed happily. His young legs were jumping and dancing."The high general is alive!" Everyone cheered together.Happiness overtook them. They didn't say it but their admiration for Gin grew higher. He not only saved them from Amenus but also raised the dead."If the world ends, I'm sure Lord Gin will revive us in a new world." Their faith came to such a conclusion.While they were having fun, Gin stood up. He looked down at his hand. It wasn't just about happiness for him, this was the breakthrough he needed the most.His eyes were shaking and he forgot how to breathe. Wi
Gin remembered the story of the princess who was kidnapped by Amenus. He wasn't focused on details because there were too many crimes that Amenus had committed and the oracle only showed him in flashes.Now it made more sense. That elf princess was kidnapped by Amenus, meaning they were in the same place. If Gin found her, he would also find Amenus and his core.But then what? He didn't need to be told, Gin would definitely go after Amenus. Why did that elf princess have to bother seeing him in the system? If he had met her while capturing Amenus, he would save her without prompting. What the princess did seemed useless.However, Gin did not close his eyes if there were other things he might not know about. Maybe she brought the core.Gin massaged his head. It felt like something was missing here.“Where are she and Amenus? You should know that, right?"'I don't know! He is somewhere I can't reach.'Gin didn't think the oracle was lying. The last time he asked about Amenus, she answer
"Where's everybody?"Gin's spirit vanished. Looking from the magnificent fortress, this city must be very rich. Moreover, upon entering, Gin was immediately confronted with the market. A city like this should be the main route of commerce.But where were the residents?Gin stepped into the city. He walked with Gargan, just the two of them.The lamps were still on even though the sunlight was above them. Yes, lamps like modern ones. This city used electricity like on Earth. However, the houses still looked like they were from the 1800s. This city was much more modern than Kiran.Gin walked around the market right in front of the gate. All the food was displayed on the table, like a seller about to open their shop. Likewise, with fruits, even cattle were allowed to roam.Gin approached a shop that had a lot of fried chicken on the counter. The food looked like what he used to eat when he was in the orphanage.Since the food was not spoiled yet, it must not have been cooked long. This pl
The statue was so large that anyone who entered through the entrance gate would see it. There was a pond surrounding it, and those who entered would wash their faces there praising Amenus. Every hair on Gin's skin was bristling. No doubt, that was a place of worship, and the one they worshipped was Amenus. "I want to vomit." Gin heard Gargan holding her vomit beside him. His stomach also churned when he saw the ugly face of Amenus so big in front of him. Many purple-robed people and ordinary people worshiped Amenus like a god. Gin's nausea grew when he heard them cheering on Amenus. It was disgusting. Worse than human excrement. All this time, Gin had only heard about how evil Amenus was. Everyone was suffering by his madness. But here, Amenus was worshiped and considered a hero. What was more disgusting than this? Of course nothing. "You worship Amenus as a god?" Gin almost bit his tongue for saying Amenus's name and God in the same sentence. "Of course! God Amenus gave us new
Gin and Gargan didn't kneel with them, making their appearance very conspicuous. The woman who was leading the crowd stood up first. Their eyes met and Gin could feel a dark aura from her.The old woman took an axe. With a quick movement, she slashed the man's neck.Even Gin was very surprised by the unexpected action. The man's head fell, rolling in front of the people who were still bowing before him.When they saw that, the sound of laughter and cheers was very loud. They stood and danced like drunken people, not caring about the blood that was spilled below them."What the hell happens here?" Gin gulped. It was a very terrible sight.He thought, that man was a King or someone who was respected. They paraded him around the city, then worshiped him like a King. But then, they killed him. Was this what Amenus wanted?The girl who was trying to set him free must be his sister because they look alike. Her scream was muffled by the sound of music and people singing. She cried alone, her
"Who are you? Don't interfere with the sacred ceremony!"Those men yelled at him, but that yell certainly didn't have any effect. The man with red eyes approached Ellya, he didn't care about those men at all. He threw a shabby blanket over Ellya's body, covering her exposed body.When the red-eyed man was off guard, one of the men took a log and attacked him. But he easily caught his arm and broke it like breaking a stick."Aaaakkkkhhhh!" He was thrashing around in pain like a child.His friends started attacking him with magic, fireball, water ball, and even ice block. The red-eyed man created a barrier in the form of a huge magic circle. All fireballs and water balls missed him. However, the ice block hit his head, more like he deliberately let it.That woke Ella up. She was worried that the man would get hurt for helping her. But her worries were in vain because the ice block broke into pieces when it hit his head."W-what are you..." They stammered, trembling and frightened just b
