His vision became cloudy. It felt like he was driving a car with frosted glass in an unusually cold winter.
‘What?’
There were no warning windows so why was he like this...
“Keuk!”
Bondre, who continued to use magic at the command of Areum, couldn’t hold on. His entire body trembled. Without noticing it, he was feeling completely drained. An unknown voice echoed, adding to his confusion. The origin of the voice was the Black Tortoise Jewel that adorned the center of the great hall.
『 It’s cold... 』
『 It hurts... 』
『 Hurts... I’m scared... 』
『 Who am I? 』
『 I don’t think I know... 』
『 When I’m gone... .』
『 People... people are in danger... 』
‘Is this the voice of the black tortoise?’
Bondre’s eyes that were filled with a haze gradually changed. They glittered like the stars in the sky, just like the old days when he was struggling to reach the top.
‘The relationship between the black tortoise and the yangbans is different from the rumors.’
Bondre’s vision became clear when he realized a new fact. A notification window came up.
[★Hidden Quest★ Protect the Artifact of the Four Gods has failed.]
[Your level has dropped by 4.]
[★Hidden Quest★ Real Myth has occurred!]
Bondre noticed. He realized that the smile on the face of the beautiful woman sitting in the bathtub was more smelly than the fishy smell of freshwater fish.
‘I was caught by these dog-like guys.’
Bondre’s brain was activated when he realized the situation. He was a smart man who surpassed two billion users to reach the single digit rankings.
‘Think about it.’
From the time he received the Call of the Heavens quest to meeting Areum, he recalled everything that happened. He felt a bit more clarity and retracted all the strangeness he experienced at the time. His trembling arms and legs calmed down. Thanks to the unknown talisman that Areum attached to him, all his magic power and strength had been restored.
[One Origin True Energy has been consumed.]
[The ‘Origin True Energy’ system is activated.]
“Kukuk.” Bondre laughed and removed the talisman attached to his back.
『 I don’t want to...! I don’t want to!!! 』
The pained voice of the black tortoise, who was a victim like Bondre, was still echoing clearly in Bondre’s mind.
“Hoh?”
Once Bondre’s eyes changed and he took the talisman off, Areum finally showed a bit of interest. Bondre’s thin neck was caught by her slender hand and turned black.
“I didn’t expect you to come to your senses when dying. You are powerful in many ways for a human.”
