Chapter 378: Quest Completed
After taking the skill, Leon walked out of the dungeon once again with Kael and Dusk without any problems.
"So... Where are we now ?" Leon asked with a confused expression as he looked up and noticed that the sun was directly above them.
’The sun is directly above me... That means the time is around noon and it’s the only time, no one can guess the directions because the shadows form directly under the objects.
Fucking hell, I can’t use any skill right now... I can’t even summon that imp or send kael back into the pocket as I already have skill penalty and as soon as I turned off the skills that are active right now, I will definitely get a debuff but if I keep using them for long the debuff will only increase so keeping kael out is a wise choice.
But, I should also pull out Nyxter from the inventory just in case something goes wrong.’ Leon thought as he pulled the Nyxter out of his invertory and turned off all the combat skills.
[Skill overuse penalty will be applied now.]
[Warning: ALL SKILLS ARE UNDER LOCKDOWN FOR THE NEXT THREE HOURS.]
"Fuck.... Three hours and the mana generating passive skills are also resetted, that means I have to wait again for them to re-stack." Leon spoke in a low voice as he stared at the red screen floating in front of him.
"Something wrong master ?" Kael asked with a confused expression.
"Yeah, I am going to some rest. We will move in a bit." Leon replied as he picked up a small stick from the ground and drew a small cross on the edge of a tree’s shadow.
’This should do the job. In about ten to fifteen minutes the shadow will go in one of the four directions and that’s when I will start moving north.
Moving north is the only option I have right now. Although I can wait here for three hours and wait for my skills to reset, but that’s just waste of time.’ Leon thought as he slowly sat down in the tree’s shade and noticed that the plant of the world tree has disappeared.
"What the fuck-!?" Leon spoke with a serious expression as he stood up immediately.
"Something wrong master ?" Dusk asked with a serious expression.
"Where is that tree ?" Leon asked with a confused expression.
"Hmm...? Oh the world tree, it must’ve left by now master. They don’t like to stay in one position for too long." Dusk replied with a neutral expression.
"Ah right..." Leon replied as he remembered about the quest and immediately opened up the notification window.
[Congratulations! You have successfully completed the quest {World Tree’s Grace}]
[Rewards have been calculated]
[Congratulations! you have successfully earned the title {Traveller of the World}]
[Name: Traveller of the World]
[Rank: SS]
[Description: One of the highest ranking titles one can receive. When obtained this title makes all the world tree around you visible to naked eyes. You can now use the world trees to travel throughout the world.
Note: You are the first human being to ever hold this title.]
"Hmm...? There is another reward ?" Leon asked with a confused expression as he dismissed the title tab.
[Congratulations! You have obtained the item {Unknown Key x1}]
Suddenly a triangular black prism appeared in Leon’s hand.
"Hmm..? This is a key ?" Leon asked with a confused expression as he looked at it from different angles.
"Master... I will go and look around the forest, that’s okay right ? I haven’t seen anything down in the purgatory for centuries other than utter darkness, can I go around a little ?" Kael asked with a desperate expression as he looked at Leon.
"You are not to engage in any combat while scouting. Do you understand ?" Leon replied as he looked at Kael.
"Your word is my command, Master. If I see anything unusual, I will report back immediately and try to find something edible for you as well." Kael spoke as he started walking towards east from Leon.
’I wonder how many days have passed, since I went inside that dungeon. Haa... I want to have sex again.’ He thought while playing with the black prism key.
*Shhhhhhhh*
Suddenly a sweet fragrance covered the whole enviornment and entered inside Leon’s and Dusk’s nose.
[Warning: User is under the influence of-]
"I feel... Sleepy-" Leon spoke in a low voice as his eyes grew heavy almost instantly and he dropped the prism key on the ground, becoming unconscious on the spot.
...
"Okay... They are down. Come out." A voice came from above the tree and immediately three men covered in completely green clothes from head to toe, stepped out from behind the bushes.
One of them who was very muscular and huge, picked up Leon from the ground. While the other two picked up dusk.
"Hehehe... This monster is an Eclipsemora, can you imagine the price of this thing at a slave firm ?" One of them spoke in a greedy voice.
"I know around 400-500 brightly shining gold coins. We will live the rest of our life in peace after this and we still don’t know how much that crystal is worth, it seems like an artifact as well, this might be the best day of our life." The other one replied.
"Oi... Don’t pass time now. Let’s go before that other guy comes back. I don’t like his aura, he seems stronger than them." The muscular guy spoke in a commanding tone as he walked back into the bushes.
As soon as he entered inside the bushes, he noticed a girl standing there in rags and there were thousands of cuts on her arms and the rest of her body.
Her eyes were looking down as there was no light in them.
"Come bitch... Your work here is done. We are returning back to the camp." He ordered.
"Yes master." The girl replied as she immediately started following him without wasting another second.
