"I can see that you're thinking about another girl or it's just my imagination", Vanessa smiled, which was terrifying.
Kite sweated. He quickly spoke, "My Queen, you're imagination is too vivid".
Vanessa stared at him for a while.
"To think I'll die because of this girl's stare and not by the Boss", he thought to himself.
Steeling his heart, he prepared his secret art that he always use whenever his lover on Earth misunderstand him. 'Hope this will work though', he prayed
"Vanessa", he called her name sweetly and softly as he could.
The woman who was looking at him shook. Kite's voice was really heartwarming. She looked at him once more, waiting for his next words.
"I love you...", just like always, he spoke as romantically as possible.
Vanessa blushed. This was the first time Kite had ever said he loved her. How could she not get affected? She already forgot what cause her anger and hug Kite from behind tightly who was squatting near the loots.
He smiled and used his other hand to rub her hair behind him. After ten minutes of hugging, Vanessa finally let him go.
When Kite turned around he couldn't help but say, "You look beautiful". This was the truth. Kite's lover back on Earth was pretty but not as beautiful as Vanessa. Nevertheless, he loved his past lover deeply. If not so, then he'll just forget her existence when he first came to this world.
Vanessa smiled brightly. 'So this is love', she silently whispered in her heart. She was always called beautiful or cute by a lot of people and she didn't care about what they thought or say about her. But Kite was different. Just six words and her heart was already close to its breaking point.
She was really thankful for the Vanessa in the other timeline. If it wasn't for her then Kite wouldn't show this amount of love as he was now. Others may say she was a hypocrite for thinking about this but this was what she really thought. She felt pity for the girl of the other timeline. But if it wasn't for her then she will not experience this kind of happiness she's experiencing now.
"Stop teasing me! It's better to check all the loots first!" Vanessa spoke meekly. Her heart was still beating faster and faster. Her cheeks were blushing madly. Coupled with her red hair, she was really stunning.
Kite was in dazed for a while when he looked at her. He shook his head and finally snapped out of it. Vanessa was right, he must first check all these loots. There were a lot of materials mainly for smithing and concocting.
There were some weapons but it was not suited for Kite. There were shields and short swords but it was not to Kite's liking.
In total, they got 23 materials that may cost 20 gold in total, 1 skill book that cost for almost 200 gold, 1 rare shield that may cost 5 gold, 2 uncommon weapons that cost 60 silvers, 3 common weapons that cost 50 silvers. A total of 226 Gold and 10 Silvers.
This was a huge gain. Especially the skill book. Kite put all of these loots in his special leather bag that could hold up 150 items in total.
Just as they were about to head to Ansel's location, Kite stopped. He looked at where the Boss died and saw a little green shard. It was the size of a thumb and it was impossible to find it if you don't look for it intentionally. Kite only notice it when he felt a slight disturbance in his head. It was like the shard was calling him. He picked it up and look at its description.
Hobgoblin King Soul Shard(Hard Mode)
There are three shards in total. You'll obtain it once at every difficulty. Combine the three shards to form the complete soul stone. |
That was it. It didn't mention it's used. Maybe he'll only get the full description when he combined the three shards. He was about to store it in his leather bag when another system message appeared.
Quest Accepted! |
System: Collecting Quest "Jax's Creation Souls" accepted.
Difficulty Grade: Mythic
Quest Details: Get all 247 soul stones of all Jax's Creation. Either by force or by one's own accord.
Rewards: Death Sword |
Kite froze for a while. Death Sword!? The sword in the legends? The sword that was made by the Titan Charos himself? The sword that countered all Celestials races?
He rubbed his eyes and looked at the system message once more. But the content was still the same, he was not imagining things. This was insane. The rewards were just a single sword. But this single sword is worth 1/8 of all the resources of this world. From what he knew so far, the two titans created two swords personally for Jax to stop the two Gods from committing to many sins. The Life Sword and the Death Sword. His Infinity Ring was also part of the ten artifacts the two Titans made. So, so far the two Titans created 12 weapons and equipments in total.
But the requirements were pretty high. 247 soul stones and all those monsters were created by Jax's himself. But why does he need to kill all of them? Did they betray Jax? But from the expression of the Boss earlier he looked really determined to kill Kite. Maybe all those creations of Jax dis betrayed him.
But what he didn't know was that he was about to cause chaos because of this small misunderstanding he made.
Kite dismissed all the thoughts he had and continue walking to where Ansel was.
Vanessa of course saw all of Kite's expression from the time he stopped earlier. It was a mixture of happiness, curiosity, excitement, and other sorts of emotions. But since he didn't say anything, she didn't pursue the matter.
They found Ansel unconscious on a corner and Kite lifted him up. He first took out all of his armor. His armor was pretty heavy, about his own weight. This boy probably put all his stats on strength alone. He put Ansel in his back and proceed to leave the dungeon.
***
It was already noon when they left the dungeon. Ansel was now awake and the party was all eating in front of the small mountain.
They were all exhausted especially, Kite. They were preparing to raid the dungeon once more. Kite also has a quest to collect all the soul stones of all Jax's Creation. And the Hobgoblin King's soul stone was not yet complete. He needed to complete the Normal and Hell mode of this Hidden Dungeon to get the two remaining shards. They level up pretty fairly so they were quite confident to deal with the last boss again.
After eating they stood up and entered the Dungeon once more.

"Let's go with Normal first", Kite told Ansel. Ansel was still the party leader.
