Chapter 782 - Goddess Hel’s Lesson
While going down the dungeon, Theo was wondering whether to break the news or not. After all, there would be a massive treasure on the 30th floor.
\'Should I find that entrance and say those four words? What was it again? Eilhis Mertorie Quala Mala…\' He frowned. \'What does that mean anyway? Is it the armor\'s name?\'
[It means Eternal Death Armor. It seems that person is using my armor to use the Death Order to maintain this place.]
\'How does that work anyway?\' Theo asked while furrowing his eyebrows.
[She must be using the Death Order to recall the souls trapped in this place. I managed those souls previously and because of my absence, those souls were trapped. Hmm, I can\'t tell you much right now.]
\'Is it a similar case with the Order? If I know about it right now, it will bring danger to me. Isn\'t that why you haven\'t told me anything about Order?\'
[That\'s one of the reasons. As for the other reason, we simply want you to grow up on your own. I mean, do you want to be spoon-fed by us all the time?]
[We won\'t be with you all the time. And if you can\'t do anything without us, then you\'ll never be a strong person… Anyway, look at what you have done this whole time.]
[When you had nothing, you made connections here and there to protect yourselves. Then, when you had no power, you trained like crazy. When you knew nothing, you learned from the best.]
[We are just your means, not the one who will give you everything. If you wish to know, you should ask those who are alive. That Dragon promised you to share some knowledge about Orders. You should ask him.]
[What I want to tell you is… You need to create the opportunity by yourself and for yourself, even if it means risking your life.]
[That\'s why you just needed to ask that shadow to learn more. If you were afraid of them and eventually trapped yourself in the cage known as fear, you wouldn\'t be able to do anything in the future.]
[People often call someone who seeks knowledge a madman because they don\'t care about their lives just for the sake of satisfying their curiosity. However, when you take another look at it, they are brave people who care nothing about others as long as they get their answer.]
[A portion of them will die, but a portion of them will bring a true breakthrough to the world. For me, this is what I call a Genius. These geniuses are pursuing something unknown while those, who can\'t even pursue anything, complain and insult them. For me, they\'re just trash and there\'s no need for me to care.]
[All I want to say is, you can be afraid, you can be careful… But never stops just because of them. If you don\'t take a risk to venture into an unknown place, how can you know the answer?]
Theo fell silent, looking down. His feelings were in a mess because of what she said. His hands started trembling due to the disappointment.
\'I see. It seems I have been too paranoid this whole time.\' Theo clenched his fists. \'I won\'t be like that anymore. Of course, I\'m not going to be reckless either.
\'I challenged the Griffith Family, Barbe Group, or the Czar because I knew about them. Meanwhile, I feared the unknown even though there might be many opportunities hidden in the unknown.\'
Theo took a deep breath and settled down his heart. Although he couldn\'t sort out his feelings, it was enough for now.
[Alright. I\'m glad that you\'re a smart kid. As a reward, I\'ll tell you about those four words. You can\'t open the entrance just simply because you\'re saying those four words. Instead, you should imbue Magic Power into those four words.]
\'Imbue?\' Theo thought for a moment before getting an idea of what she was talking about. \'I can put my killing intent in Magic Power. This is the principle of the Vision. So, what I need to do right now is to imbue my Magic Power into my voice.\'
[Yes. That\'s the concept. Just don\'t forget about those four words.]
\'I understand.\'
[Good. I\'ll tell you the words for the armor later.]
\'Yes. I\'ll do my best so as to not disappoint you.\'
Finally, Hel stopped responding. Still, this was the first time he talked with her this long, especially since they were not meeting each other.
The others never talked to him this long unless they could invite him into his own consciousness.
\'Still, 30th floor huh… The shadow told me that I could put a great fight against the one down there. That means I have some chance against her with Agata, Maya and Ava. In that case, I should wait until Ava recovers her strength.
\'That\'s right. Maya and Agata are going to reach Supreme Rank soon. I should wait for them to reach this step since our enemies are Supreme Rank Experts. And when we reach the 30th floor, I\'ll break the news to them.\' Theo calculated the timing and concluded his plan was perfect.
Hence, they began their hunts to reach level 500. Without making it suspicious, Theo searched for the trap half-heartedly, so their progress could become even faster.
They searched the 21st floor to the 29th floor thoroughly, making sure they didn\'t miss a thing. But because Theo focused on killing monsters instead of finding treasures, they didn\'t find a single thing.
When they gathered for one last time before going back to prepare for their venture to the 30th floor, Maya showed a disappointed expression.
"We\'re not going to get anything at this point. Maybe we should just focus on killing monsters." She let out a long sigh.
"That\'s true." Agata nodded in agreement. "What\'s your level now?"
"Me? I\'m level 500 already. I still need to fill the remaining EXP though, before I can become Supreme Rank."
"I\'m still three levels away." Agata shook her head while looking down.
"How about it, Theo? Should we still go to the 30th floor or should we just hunt the monsters?" Maya asked with a serious expression.
Theo raised his head and scratched the back of his head. "We…"
