500 Necklace of the Underworld King 2 (1/2)

Ian thought that he heard Mukan wrongly.

There were just two ways for a user to enter the Underworld.

'An NPC might fall to the Underworld when dead, but reborn users can't enter the Underworld.'

Because of that, Ian's only way to enter the Underworld was to fight with Mukan and win.

Not knowingly, Ian gulped down his saliva.

'Can I win over this guy?'

Ian looked at the king, narrowing his eyes.

Underworld King, Mukan: Lv 500

'Damn, his level is of 500 surely…'

Mukan, a transcendence being's level was at MAX of 500.

It was good news that he was in the human dimension.

If they were in the Middle-Earth, there would have been no way for Ian to win over the King of the Underworld.

In the Middle-Earth dimension, the King of the Underworld would surely belong to the top talented beings.

If there was some way, there wouldn't be a reason to break through their heads anymore.

There was no choice for them but to get past him.

To there.

Ian took a step forward and placed his Judgment of the Spirit king in front.

Chuk-!

With a low but heavy voice, Ian spoke,

”If I win, you will open the path to enter the Underworld, right?”

When Ian asked it, Mukan responded with widened eyes,

”Yes.”

”Nice. Then…”

Woong-!

White glow was emanating from the body of Ian's.

And the golden spear that he was holding in his hand,

The 'Judgment of the Spirit King' floated in the air.

”Should we try playing once?”

***

The 'transcendence power' wasn't the power that could be exerted properly on the earthly dimension.

If that was the case, did it mean that it had no meaning?

Of course, that wasn't the case either.

The higher the transcendence level, the stronger would be the combat power of the human dimension.

However, stats in the Middle-Earth was only 10 and only 1 or 2 things could be used in the human dimension.

That was why there was a difference in the combat power among the same leveled beings in the 500s.

The same way how Lich King Chalian was much powerful than the minions of the same level.

Which meant that the King of the Underworld Mukan would be powerful too.

At least, stronger than the Lich King.

”Even if this is the earthly dimension, you humans think you have the confidence to take me on?”

Panic and confusion were clearly written on the face of the Underworld King Mukan.

The biggest feeling was the 'interest' of the challenger who took up the offer, there was a bit of ugliness mixed in there.

The transcendental beings.

They never realized that there would be a time when the humans of the human dimension would challenge those who were higher than themselves.

”Long and short paths, not something one can know by seeing.”

”There are things that you can't see unless you challenge.”

Kukung-!

Mukan knocked his curved blade on the floor.

Black clouds spread around him, pushing back the humans that were around him.

”Uh, uhhu?”

”What is this? Just pushing us backward?”

The black clouds didn't cause any damage to the users.

But the unknown force just constantly pushed back the users.

And undeniable force.

However, at the very time, a user who found one person standing inside of the black smokey clouds, opened his mouth feeling surprised.

”Uh, why is Ian in there?”

”Yeah, right? What just happened?”

In the vacant lot that was created by the black clouds, only Mukan and Ian remained in between.

After a while, the voice of Mukan took over.

”I will accept your challenge!”

And with that, system messages came in front of Ian.

Tring-!

[Underworld King Mukan has accepted your challenge.]

[The 'Absolute Power' has been manifested.]

[You are in the area of 'Darkness Field'.]

['Test of the Underworld King Mukan' quest has been triggered.]

-Test of Underworld King Mukan (Hidden) –

Mukan, the seventh king to rule the Underworld, the king who guards the path of life and death.

You've successfully summoned Mukan after collecting all the fragments of the Underworld King's necklace.

You have fulfilled the conditions needed for obtaining the 'Power of the Underworld King', the dream of every warlock.

But you, not being a warlock, haven't been empowered by Mukan and you have asked for unlocking the path that would lead one to the Underworld.

Being the gatekeeper, Mukan has informed you that it could only happen by winning the confrontation with him.

The challenge is done by a human to the Underworld King.

This is a reckless challenge that has never been attempted in the history of the continent.

However, you have challenged, and Mukan has already accepted it.

If you win over the battle with Mukan, he will open the path to the Underworld.

But if you lose, he wouldn't.

You will also receive a 'death' penalty in exchange for challenging the power of the Underworld King.
