Chapter 136: Going Back to the Heart Kingdom

"Come back so soon, Leon" said King Nexus.

"Nexus, of course. Since our dealing has already concluded, we will go back now. I still have something to deal with in my kingdom" said King Nexus.

"Well, it\'s a shame you could not stay longer. Still, on behalf of Orces country, I thank you once again for such treatment. I never thought I could fully recover after getting injured by Monster Overlord." said Nexus.

"Your welcome. It is also for our benefit. Besides, as our neighbor kingdom, Orces kingdom is also one of our allies." said King Leon.

As the two kings keep talking, they walk towards the teleportation room. Arriving at the teleportation room, the expert is already doing their job tuning up the teleportation device.

While waiting for them, "Anyway, this is my youngest son, Nexar." King Nexus introduced the tall man beside him.

"Greetings, King Leon." said the young man while giving a salute towards King Leon.

Looking at the tall young man, "Hmm… How old is he?" asked King Leon.

"Despite his appearance, he is still 15 years old. He is one of the prodigies even among my sons. He managed to form his own mana core at the age of twelve years old." said King Nexus proudly.

"Really?? it seems Orces kingdom will have a bright future." said King Leon.

"Hahaha… Nothing is certain. Nexar still has so much to learn. Anyway, I hear you have a daughter. How about.." said King Nexus.

Before King Nexus finished his sentence, "Nexus, Don\'t try my patience. I hope you don\'t mention this kind of thing in front of me again." said King Leon coldly while glaring at the young man beside him.

Being glared at by King Leon, Nexar immediately has a cold sweat and trembles on his spot. Looking at the trembling young man, King Leon scoffed at him before looking back at King Nexus.

At this time, Nexar already slumps on the floor and needs to be helped by the other royal guard as he got a sort of panic attack.

Looking at this, King Nexus could only sigh silently, "Take him to his room." said King Nexus.

The royal guard begins to help Nexar get out of the room. Looking at this, Nexus knows that the chance of his son being accepted by Leon is almost none. As someone who believes in power, King Leon will never tolerate such weakness, especially those who want his daughter.

"*Sigh* I apologize about this matter, Leon. I just hoped we could continue our alliance."

"As long as the Orces Kingdom didn\'t try to harm the Heart Kingdom, The Heart Kingdom will always be your ally." said King Leon.

Soon, the teleportation device is ready to be used. King Leon\'s group immediately steps on the teleportation pedestal.

After that, the teleportation device released a humming sound and shone brightly. *Bzzttzzz* Less than a second later, King Leon\'s group arrived at Heart Kingdom royal palace.

Arriving at the royal palace, the group diminished and went towards their respective place while Angus and Duke Victory returned to their townhouse manor to rest.

During the way towards the townhouse manor, inside the carriage, "So, how is it? feeling pressure to take the King\'s daughter?" teased Jacob towards his son, who kept silent.

"Huhh.. What are you talking about?" asked Angus confusedly.

"You know, there will be a lot of geniuses like Nexar trying to get their hands on the fourth princess." said Jacob.

"So?? Is there a problem?" asked Angus again.

"A problem? Didn\'t you feel some kind of pressure?" asked Jacob.

Hearing this, Angus thought for a second before replied, "Nope. Besides, they should become stronger. Otherwise, it will be too boring." said Angus as he released his mana core aura.

"T-This… Since when did you form your mana core?" said Jacob.

"At Eleven, but don\'t tell others. It will create too much commotion." as Angus decides to say truthfully to his father.

"Eleven?? T-That\'s kind of.. I don\'t even know what to say. *sigh* Since you hide it from everyone, then I will not reveal it to others. Who else knows about this?" asked Jacob.

"The old dwarf Balrug, Jayna, and the King himself." replied Angus.

"Not many people know about it. Alright, I will keep it a secret for now. But, you need to reveal it sooner or later." said Jacob.

"Yeah, I planned to reveal it next year." said Angus.

"Good choice, It is not too old and not too young. The majority of the royal academy students also formed their core at this age." said Jacob.

Then, they continue to talk about various things until they arrive at the townhouse manor. By the time they arrive at the townhouse manor, it is already in the evening.

The next day Angus went back to the royal academy to continue his studies. Since his project of making Miasma Curing Potion is done, now he has a lot of free time to focus on another thing.

Angus planned to improve himself like usual and learn the powerful Dusk Language that he delayed before. He still wants to reveal about the mysterious chamber under the abandoned facility.

A person that could get a Mundus egg must not be an ordinary one. So, Angus feels that there must be something else hidden inside the chamber besides the rare ingredient.

However, before learning about Dusk Language, he needs to be proficient at the Dark Elves\'s ancient language. The book that he had about the Dusk Language was written with Dark Elves\'s ancient language.

Dark elves\' ancient language is quite simple yet also complicated. Angus needs a lot of time to learn about such a complex language. Although the vocabulary and words are not much, it is still very complicated.

Besides that, Angus also increased his body training in preparation for opening the Gate of Life. Few weeks before the break, Balrug, the old dwarf, told him that he was ready to open the first Gate of Life as his body was already mature enough.

He needs to be in the best condition, be it mentally or physically, to open the Gate of Life. Opening the Gate of Life is a difficult task. There is no such thing as a second chance since if it fails means death.

Now, Angus is inside the basement below the smithing facility, meditating to calm his mind. Opening his eyes and ending his meditation, "Alright, I am ready."

"Brat, are you sure about this?" asked Balrug worriedly.

"Of course. So, what should I do?" asked Angus.

"Well, To Open the Gate of Life, you need external help and stimulus to find the gates of Life. The Dwarf race has a special way to help you find this Gates of Life. " explained Balrug.

"What is it?" asked Angus curiously.

"By iron and fire." said Balrug with a smirk.

"Sorry??" said Angus.

"Like a weapon, you need to be cast by iron and fire. You will be going inside this special smelter along with the molten iron." said Balrug while pointing to the black smelting tub.

"Err… Did it really work?" asked Angus worriedly.

Hearing Angus\'s question, "Hahaha…Well, if you are going inside without any preparation, you will be dead any second. So, to be safe, you will be going inside while holding this." said Balrug while showing a black crystal.

Looking at the particular crystal, "I-Is that the rare Heart Obsidian?" asked Angus.

"Good, you seem to recognize this crystal. However, this is no ordinary Heart Obsidian crystal. This crystal is imbued with a special spell from the elder of the dwarf community just for this occasion." explained Balrug.

"The spell will be active while you are inside the smelter tub along with the hot molten iron. All you need to do is to preserve until you find the Gate of Life." explained Balrug more.

"How long will I be inside of it?" asked Angus.

"That depends on yourself. The longer you take to find the Gate of Life, the longer you will be inside it. Some people only need a few hours, but others need an entire day." replied Balrug

"There are no exact measurements for the time since the Gate\'s test will be different for each person. However, focus on finding the Gate first. As for passing the test, you will be passed as long as you are worthy enough." explained Balrug

"My advice is don\'t overthink about it and let everything go. The more you resist, the longer the time you find the Gate of Life." said Balrug.

"I see… Then, let\'s do it." Angus begins to undress all his clothes.

Since he will be inside the Molten Iron to know how long, he will go inside it naked to not destroy his clothes. While holding the black Heart Obsidian Crystal, Angus goes inside the smelting tub.

After calming his excited mind and breathing, "Alright, let\'s do it."

"Yosh.. Bail, raise the furnace\'s temperature." shouted Balrug.

Bail, who is on standby near the furnace, begins to control the furnace temperature to the maximum. Then, without wasting any moment, Balrug pulled up the furnace using the prepared pulley and poured the melted liquified iron inside into the smelting tub.

As the liquified iron pours into the smelting tub while Angus inside it, he feels his body is burning for each second passed.

"ARGGHH!!!"
