Dominion Bond System: The Only Man Left Has A Yandere Girlfriend Chapter 43: Palace of The Dominion King

Ding!

[As Master, you may now rena the palace as you wish. Would you like to change the na? [Y/N]]

"Yes..."

Ding!

[What would you like the na to be, Host?]

"Palace of The Dominion King."

Ding!

[Palace of The Dominion King has been registered.]

[The key to access the Palace of The Dominion King anyti is in your inventory, Host.]

[Places] – [Palace of The Dominion King] [Celestial Plane (Locked)]

Reiji stared at his system screen and rembered the 500 dungeon cores he needed to find.

’System, how many more cores are left to unlock the Celestial Plane?’

Ding!

[500 cores left.]

"But I..."

Reiji wanted to say sothing, but he suddenly rembered that in the previous D-Rank gate he had absorbed both the monster core and the dungeon core because they had been fused together.

Reiji let out a long breath.

’I guess I need to start dungeon raiding. But the problem is not all dungeons would provide with 500 cores!’ Reiji thought annoyedly as he looked at the slowly disappearing bodies of the skeletons. ’Well, I really did beco strong. But I’m still not a C-Rank yet. Though I could probably take on a C-Rank with no problem.’ Reiji thought with a grin.

The Velsra was still busy showering Reiji with nonstop praise. Reiji stared at the creature, wondering what to do with it.

Ding!

[Do you wish to take the Velsra as your servant or disciple, Host?]

[There are no rewards or bonuses attached to the bond.]

’Why the hell would I take it...’

"My Lord, do you plan on looting the vault? Or maybe checking out the Undead King’s personal vault?" the Velsra asked, its eyes practically glowing.

A bright smile appeared on Reiji’s face when he heard the word vault.

Vaults were where important things were kept, and Reiji had a hunch there would definitely be sothing top-tier and useful for him there, especially in the Undead King’s personal vault.

"Lead the way, my lovely servant."

"You flatter , My Lord. I’m simply responding to your request as your right-hand man."

"You an servant."

"Yes, My Lord."

Reiji inwardly rolled his eyes as they walked out of the main hall.

After a while, they reached the place where Reiji had first arrived through the magic circle, but to his surprise, it was gone.

’Hmmm...’ Reiji and the Velsra continued through the large hall.

Soon, they arrived in front of a massive door that almost resembled a drawbridge gate.

"This is it, Your Grace."

Reiji stared at the door for a while before walking forward and pushing it open.

"Why won’t it budge?"

"Uhm... Your Majesty."

The Velsra called out, fighting the urge to laugh at his new master’s cluelessness. But rembering how powerful Reiji was, it didn’t dare laugh.

"What?"

"You can’t open it that way. You open it using your mana."

"Mana?"

"Yes. A dark aura envelops your hand, then you can push the door open. I’ve seen many Generals do it."

’Mana? Dark aura?’

Reiji repeated in his head.

’Is it perhaps talking about Demonic Essence? Nah, that’s not it...’

But after thinking for a while, Reiji decided to try it out.

’But why does it have to cost 20 Mana? Anyway, I’ll be quick.’

"Demonic Essence."

Ding!

[Skill: Demonic Essence Activated!]

[20 Mana will be consud while the skill is active.]

VOOM!

Instantly, a dark nacing aura erupted from Reiji’s body and imdiately forced the Velsra onto its knees.

"Cough! Cough! Are you trying to kill , My Lord?!" the Velsra choked out.

Reiji didn’t even hear the poor creature’s screams.

’This is much more powerful than I thought... Or maybe it’s because of the ring.’

Reiji touched the ring and suddenly rembered that the Undead King had ntioned it before.

But he didn’t dwell on it and instead focused on what was at hand.

BOOM!

The door flew open as if it had been forcibly blasted apart.

Yet Reiji’s fingers had only lightly brushed against its surface.

The Velsra saw this and beca even more convinced that the person standing before him was no ordinary being.

’A monster indeed.’

Reiji deactivated the skill, and the dark aura, along with the overwhelming pressure, vanished.

He then walked inside.

The Velsra stood up and imdiately followed after him.

The room was much smaller than the grand hall or the mining cave.

Reiji stopped dead in his tracks.

A huge grin spread across his face as he stared at the enormous piles of glowing crystal-like stones in front of him.

Ding!

[There are many dungeon cores and monster cores here. Do you wish to harvest them? [Y/N]]

"Hehehe..."

Reiji giggled.

The Velsra stared at Reiji with a strange expression.

’Sotis he can be such a weirdo.’

’Harvest all the dungeon cores needed to open the Celestial Plane.’

Ding!

[487 dungeon cores have been successfully harvested.]

Ding!

[13 dungeon cores left to access the Celestial Plane.]

’Now this definitely reduces my work load by alot’ Reiji thought with a satisfied smile.

The Velsra stared in shock as the huge piles of stones suddenly vanished.

’What the hell? Wait... I think I’ve seen this before. It’s him. But how the hell does he do that?’

’Absorb the monster cores.’

Ding!

[Cannot absorb all at once. You may suffer severe consequences. You need to absorb them one at a ti, Host.]

Reiji stared at the system notification for a while. Though he had a feeling that absorbing all the monster cores at once might result in so kind of backlash, absorbing them one at a ti would take forever.

’Send all the cores to my inventory.’

In a blink, all the cores vanished from the room, and this ti the Velsra wasn’t all that shocked.

"So where’s the King’s personal vault?" Reiji asked the Velsra.

"I’m sorry, My Lord, but I do not know where it is. I’ve only heard the Undead King’s soldiers ntion it."

The Velsra bowed its head deeply.

Reiji frowned slightly. So where was he supposed to look?

’System, since this place belongs to , doesn’t it have a map?’

Ding!

[A map was available since the beginning of your quest.]

’...’

Reiji rubbed his temples, fighting the urge to punch the system screen, though he knew his hand would only pass through it.

"Just give the damn map."

Ding!

[...]

—The [...] above is the system displaying the map of the Palace of The Dominion King.

Reiji stared at the map on the system interface and from what he was seeing, the Undead King’s personal vault should be right in front of him.

Reiji walked forward, but there was only a wall.

He tapped on it, only to hear a hollow sound.

’A door...’

Reiji pushed the door open and walked in.

The Velsra was confused about what its master was doing, but when it saw that Reiji had opened a hidden door leading sowhere, it was surprised and quickly ran after him.

Reiji walked through the passage and soon arrived in front of another door.

Reiji pushed the door, but it didn’t budge, so he activated Demonic Essence. This ti, he made sure to unequip the Devil’s Ring and use Mana Manipulation to control the output.

CRREEAAK...!

The door opened and Reiji and the Velsra stepped inside.

’Why the hell are there three skeletons here?’
