King Jun's eyes widened. As soon as the force field spread, it was as if he couldn't activate his mana. It felt as if he lost connection with his mana.
King Jun gritted his teeth as he tried to escape but the next movement.
Spurt!
"Argh," Blood flowed through his mouth as he felt something piercing his abdomen. Though he was above level 300 which meant such injury didn't threaten his life, that was applicable only if he could activate his mana.
"Ruok!" As the smoke settled down he was able to see the attacker's face.
But that wasn't the only suppose. Some mages were confused but most of them had a smirk on their face.
And looking at them Jun realized he was betrayed by almost all of them.
"Ruok! You bastard!" Jun screamed but Ruok didn't reply instead he first grabbed both crystals. He then proceeds to grab Ju!'s fave and in the next movement, both of them disappeared.
They reappeared on top of a building. Jun thought that he wouldn't have to face the force field here but his eyes widened as he realized. The force field was spread across the whole kingdom.
And that incident marked the era of king Jun.
*************
"What happened after that," Shin asked with a serious expression.
"Well my memory is pretty much foggy from that point onwards. I just regained my consciousness three centuries ago. And I found some of my citizens, in this place, in this condition. Upon asking them what happened they told me, a massacre took place.
When they opened their eyes, they were in the form of a skeleton. Centuries passed as they were trapped there but then one day... A person rescued them. A person who wielded the gem of lie.
But instead of freeing them or doing anything else, the person trapped them here, where they found my skeleton. Thankfully just a day later I regained my consciousness."
Shin felt sad for king jun to hear about his past.
"Wait, so is the gem of lie here too."
"Ya, and it lent some of its powers to me due to which I can control this place. Well, let's see if you're worthy of the gem of lie." Shin felt excitement within himself as he heard those words. Suddenly red light once again flashed the place once again changed.
Shin looked around himself and it appeared as if this time they were present in the treasure room of this place. There were many hold pins and strong-looking artifacts placed around.
But the object that attracted shins attention the most... Was a marvelous Red gem that was embedded in the floor in the middle of the room.
"Go and place your paw on the gem." Listening to Jun shin nodded his head and started walking toward the gem. He then lofted his paw and placed it on the large gem after reaching near it.
And as soon as he did, shin felt cold chills going down his soul. The gem started to skin brightly, the red light engulfed the whole room.
And looking at such a reaction shin's heart started to beat faster and faster.
'Does this mean I'm chosen' Shin thought in excitement. It was as if the red light was the only ray of hope for defeating the skeleton king.
Before shin could think of anything else a sound echoed in the room. A sharp voice
"Such an extraordinary candidate! Cunning, smart, and capable, He has a brain! Hahahhaahhaahha!"
"So am I chosen!"
"Of course!" The crystal replied. This brought a rush of excitement within shin as she was happy in getting another strong ally aside from him.
"Shin." He heard Jun's voice thinking that jun was going to compliment him.
But his next set of words was exactly the opposite of what he thought Jun was going to say. "I'm sorry my friend but looks like you aren't chosen. In fact, it looks like the gem of lie hates you."
"What did you say?"
Shin quickly snapped looking towards Jun. "But why? He's praising me so much."
"Did you forget what's in his name? Don't you have that much brain? Whatever he said, it's the opposite." As soon as shin heard those words his face became red in embarrassment.
But before shin could do anything else.
[Ding]
[Mission]
[Find someone worthy enough for the gem of lie.]
[Reward: celestial path unlock]
[Faliur: ???]
Shin frowned as he looked at the system. 'I have to find someone worthy.' The problem was that shin didn't know someone with that description. Though he knew some people who were smart, they weren't greedy or cunning, and even if shin knew someone like that, in most cases he wouldn't give someone such an artifact. After all, those kinds of people were the ones to backstab.
"What happened? Don't tell that you are depressed, because gem told you don't have any brains. Don't worry man, sometimes you should learn to face the truth."
Shins face twisted but he didn't bother to argue.
"Hey, do you know a way... To defeat the skeleton king." Jun quickly shook his skull.
"Unfortunately I don't. Since the day I woke, I never went outside so I don't. But I know someone who does know." Jun said to which Shin's eyes widened.
"Who is it?" Shin questioned.
"Well, a defendant of a clan known as the heavenly wolf family. I had heard their name a lot when I was alive. They were a very strong clan, but now I don't know their condition." King jun said but when he looked at shin's face he could see the absolute shock
"But if this so called descendant knows how to defeat the skeleton king then why don't you know how to defeat him?"
"Well, because apparently, it is some secret of their family which they can pass to their descendants. I thought that you were a wolf so he might tell you." Jun said to which shin's eyes started to twitch.
