That was the end of the message.
âDid the message pop up for you too?â
âIt says, âCan you handle their rage and hatred?ââ
âHmm. letâs see⊠Tomb of the Orc King⊠Record of the Magic tower⊠hatred and spite? Rage⊠Hatred⊠Uhh⊠Nope, I canât see it.â
âThis time, itâs different from the quest in Laputa. This was my territory, and this was where my past self reigned supreme. It would have been the norm for me to select the Valhalla territory, but⊠ârageâ and âhatredâ? HmmâŠâ
After thinking about it for a while, Kang Chul-In probably figured out what it was.
âRage and hatred, huh. Itâs all aimed at me.â
And while Kang Chul-In was deep in thought, Dorian tried his best to not feel left out.
âHmph⊠Always keeping everything to himself and not telling me anything.â
After walking around for about 2km, Dorian pointed in front of them.
And where he pointed were⊠a bunch of monsters that seemed as if they were turned into stone.
[You have entered the forgotten territory, the âRaging Valhallaâ.]
After this alarm popped up, a quest was then issued.
[Epic] The forgotten territory, Raging Valhalla
-The rage and hatred of the citizens that have been discarded by their previous Lord goes beyond anyoneâs imaginations.
-Aim: Get to the end of the Lordâs hall, and defeat the Boss.
-Reward: Epic Item â â (Consumable)
-Difficulty: Extremely Difficult (+10% of intruderâs level)
-You cannot obtain Exp. in this Quest.
-You cannot obtain Lord Points in this Quest.
Though Kang Chul-In was unsure if this was intentionally done by the system or not, he knew why the Valhalla territory had become like this. It was a kind of âpenaltyâ placed upon him for not choosing his old territory, âValhallaâ.
âGet ready to fight.â
âAlready? Just by looking at them, those monsters all seem very low-leveled. Iâm not even sure if theyâd last more than a hit from me. Well, I guess it would take around 5 minutes if they came up against me as a pack.â
Dorianâs response was a normal adventurerâs response.
For the most part, the monsters in the beginning or entrance of a dungeon were extremely low-leveled. It made sense that Dorian thought he could fight against all of them alone.
Kang Chul-In disagreed with Dorian.
âWell, letâs see if you can say that after the fight is over.â
And with those words, the monsters that had turned into stone slowly started moving.
After that, another alarm popped up.
[The monsters are in an extremely angry state.]
[The rage of the monsters will head towards only 1 person.]
[The power of the monsters will increase greatly due to their rage.]
[The entire dungeon has been swept up by rage and hatred.]
This time, it seemed like even Dorian had gotten the alarm.
âCareful! Theyâre coming now.â
Kang Chul-In spoke, looking in front of them. A dark-slime that had just woken up tried to leap up and ambush them.
Rushing out bravely, Dorian swung his fist equipped with a gauntlet towards the slime.
Though the gauntlet was made of metal, it was unable to hurt the dark slime, and the collision created a huge impact.
Dorian moaned, grabbing his wrist.
âW-What the hell? Why is this slime so strong?!â
âThey have levels that are 10% higher than yours.â
If it was 10% higher than their levels, that would be 40 (Kang Chul-Inâs level)
+4 (the 10% increase), meaning that the monsters would be Level 44.
Cursing, Dorian prepared to clash against the slime again, but this time it ignored him and instead started hopping towards Kang Chul-In.
Dorian was extremely confused.
It wasnât just the dark slime, but the eyes of all the monsters were focused on Kang Chul-In, ignoring Dorian.
Kang Chul-In decided to handle this situation in front of him as their former Lord.
Who else would receive their hatred and rage if it wasnât him, their former Lord?
Betrayal, sadness, rage, hatred, etc. This was the shared feeling of all those in the Valhalla territory that had been discarded by their Lord.
Kang Chul-In had a âresponsibilityâ to take care of those that were within this Valhalla Dungeon. He knew this was something that only he could do, and instead of running away from it, he decided to fight against it head-on. Kang Chul-In wasnât a cowardly man that only knew how to hide behind his allies.
Kang Chul-In grabbed onto the hilt of Kaiforce with more strength than ever.
It took over an hour to âtidy-upâ all the monsters that were waiting near the entrance of the Secret Passage.
Panting, Dorian shook his head.
âWhat the hell is this⊠Itâs just a slime. Iâd bet that not even an ogre would be a match for that thingâŠâ
âYeah, itâs Level 44 after all.â
âDonât you feel angry? The monsters are only aiming for you.â
âI know youâre hiding something from me, Kang Chul-In. Am I right? Like the fact that only youâre receiving these hidden messages, or the fact that only you were targeted during that dog of a fight... â
âI wonât say youâre wrong about that.â
âItâs just a little bit difficult to say, isnât it? Well, I wonât ask if you wonât tell. ButâŠâ
âWhatâs the reward for this quest?â
âOh, that? Itâs an Epic Item.ââHuh?â
âThe name of the item is covered in black so I donât know what it is, but itâs an Epic Item, as well as a consumable.â
âHmmm... After the quest is finished, can I put the details of that item into my Encyclopedia of Pangaea? Iâm not asking for it. I just want to sketch it, and know itâs options.â
Dorian seemed extremely happy that he could have an Epic Item as a sample to use in his encyclopedia. It made sense for someone as âweirdâ as him to be happy about this, as he was making an encyclopedia about items, animals, and plants in Pangaea.
It took a total of 3 days to get to the end of the Secret Passage. That was how long the passage was, and that also showed how many monsters were fighting against them.
As they ended the âtrekâ through the passage, they finally arrived in the main Square of Valhalla.
âAre we really underground? Why is it so bright in here? Wait⊠Even the sun is up. Whatâs the difference between here and outside?â
Dorian pointed at the top of the Valhalla Square towards the âsunâ.
âThatâs a âSun Crystal.ââ
âT-Thereâs something like that, too? It seems expensiveâŠâ
While Dorian was busy looking at his surroundingsâŠ
Kang Chul-In was busy recalling the past.
The Sun Crystal⊠Was an item that he personally stole from another territory in order to help his civilians. In the past, Kang Chul-In had just gone and stolen from other Lords if he wanted something.
At that moment, white, gassy Ghosts started appearing.
-Why did you discard us⊠MilordâŠ
Hundreds, no, thousands of ghosts started appearing, and rushed towards Kang Chul-In.
However, Kang Chul-In was focused on something else entirely.
âSomething that sounds like a tornado.â
Stepping away from the ghosts, Kang Chul-in closed his eyes and focused.
It sounded as if there was wind.
The sound was getting even closer.
Kang Chul-In suddenly pushed Dorian out of the way.
With a huge explosion, the floor of the Square flipped over revealing a small tornado that was heading towards Kang Chul-In and Dorian at frightening speeds.
Dorian shouted, caught completely off guard and surprised.
Kang Chul-In was also surprised, but for a completely different reason.
Kang Chul-In knew the attack that was flying towards them.
âŠ.He was the one who taught it after all.
