Chapter 498 - A Quick Trip To The Underworld
"AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"
It was morning the day after Ren declared he was going to conquer the dwarven kingdoms. Valdel who was sleeping soundly suddenly got up and scread as he rembered sothing important. He then rushed towards Ren's room afraid that he would once again forget.
'Damn, because of all the things that happened, I forgot the main reason we went to the Holy Kingdom.'
When Valdel opened the door of Ren's room he saw several bodies piled up on one another. It was obvious what Ren and the girls did. Valdel clicked his tongue, the mont he did so, the girls that were asleep while surrounding Ren, suddenly moved.
Tsukiyomi had created a blade and it was pointed at Valdel's forehead. Silika had summoned her death scythe and its edge was ready to cut Valdel's neck. Lara had her fist gently placed on Valdel's Heart. On the other hand, both Hilda and Ashley were still reaching for their weapons.
Valdel was surrounded by different won with varying weapons pointing at him, but he remained calm. Despite two of those won being way more powerful than him, he knew that he could probably survive a single strike from each of the ladies.
"Hey, Ren I know you're already awake." When the ladies heard Valdel's voice they lowered their weapons.
"Oh, it's Ren's friend. Sorry about that, you've startled ." Tsukiyomi sighed as her weapon disappeared from her hands.
"Val what are you doing here?" Lara who was still a bit sleepy lowered her arms and rubbed her eyes. After the other girls complained to him for a bit, Valdel was finally able to get a word in.
"Ren we forgot the reason why we went to the Holy Kingdom, didn't we go there to ask for the location of the underworld?" Hearing what Valdel said Ren sat upright on the bed before answering.
"Oh is that all, I didn't really forget it, but you know that we basically killed everyone that could have answered that question."
When Valdel heard Ren's answer the realization dawned on him. What did they do upon entering the Divine City? Didn't they do their usual thing, made a ss and killed a bunch of people? It was also true that he was the cause of that ss.
'Damn it, so it was all my fault!' Seeing the despondent look on Valdel's face, Ren spoke.
"Don't worry, I already had sothing else planned if our trip to the Holy Kingdom failed. Actually, I just went there because I wanted to see how strong the supposed strongest human kingdom was. Well, overall it didn't disappoint and I had a ton of fun there."
"Alright, you had your fun so what is this other plan?"
…
While Ren and Valdel were having their conversation the ladies were getting dressed. As they were getting dressed Hilda and Ashley were dumbfounded by the conversation between Ren and Valdel. Were they talking about the location of the underworld where spirits are led to after death to be cleansed and reincarnated? Was it that underworld, if so why do they need to go there?
Tsukiyomi was rather disinterested in the conversation. How many underworlds of different dinsions and planets has she already seen.
Lara sighed as she too had forgotten their original plan. On the other hand, Silika was confused as to why Ren needed to go find soone else for this information. It was at that mont Ren spoke her na.
"I'm pretty sure that Silika over here can lead us to the underworld."
"Is that true?" Valdel looked at Silika expectantly.
"Yes, I can directly bring us there right now."
"Really?"
"Yes, since Ren's mana supply has greatly increased a ton of my death scythe's abilities have been unlocked. One of which is opening a portal to the underworld." Silika gave an answer that would shock most people, but the response she got from the people in the room was rather underwhelming.
"You hear that Valdel." Ren was a bit surprised by what Silika said, but not too much. He was already expecting Silika to know the way, but he didn't expect that she could directly teleport to the place.
"You knew about this from the beginning? So why did we need to get sidetracked and head to the Holy Kingdom." Valdel spoke a little angrily.
"As I said, it was because I was interested in the Holy Kingdom. Not to ntion I wasn't entirely sure that Silika knew of the way and I especially didn't know she could teleport there."
Hearing Ren's nonchalant response was able to calm Valdel down.
"So do you wish to go now?" Silika asked.
"Yes, please." Valdel imdiately answered.
Silika looked at Ren who nodded his head. Seeing Ren had approved Silika summoned the death scythe, and walked out of the room. The group followed her into an open area, where Silika slashed at the empty space in front of her. In the next second a dark tear in space was made.
"Just enter the portal and it will teleport you to this world's underworld." Without any hesitation, Valdel entered the portal, followed by Lara and then Tsukiyomi. Ashley and Hilda were about to enter as well, but Ren stopped them.
"You two stay here."
"Why?" Hilda and Ashley responded in sync.
"I know that you two have beco quite powerful, but this is not sothing you two can handle. What we are about to face is a world deity and one that governs the laws of death. Even the current Val and Lara might not survive this. So it's a certainty that if the two of you co, you will die. I don't want to see that happen so please stay here."
When the two heard Ren's explanation they were both shocked and touched by Ren's care for them. It also alard them to hear that even Ren was taking this seriously. Usually, he would say sothing arrogantly like, even in such a place he could protect them. Most shocking of all he said please to them. Now understanding the risks involved the two unwillingly nodded their heads.
"Be careful out there."
"You need to return safe and sound."
"Don't worry it's just a quick trip to the underworld."
Ren smiled at the two and kissed them before entering the portal, Silika followed suit, and once she entered the portal disappeared.
