Adrian and Urashima Taro entered the gate and is shocked to see another world inside of it. It is like another underwater world but more in the the of the eastern continent. It is like a separate place in the eastern continent but underwater, but Adrian also noticed so strange ornants and styles that go with the southern continent.
[You have entered the Hidden Realm of the Dragon Turtles.]
The walls were made of gold, pearl, and corals while the buildings shined even in the dark depth of the ocean. It made it look like there was an actual sun in the depths of the ocean as the entire city inside the hidden realm. They can also see that it is still extrely lively despite being a bit far from the city itself. Just as the two of them were about to swim towards the entrance of the city, a group of guards suddenly blocked their path.
The guards were all beings that either looked fully aquatic or half aquatic. So had the appearance of humanoid jellyfish, squids, and even coral. The head of the guards also had this powerful aura that can only be felt from a dragon which made Adrian go in full alert. The head of the guards imdiately noticed Urashima Taro as his gaze did not wander off from him.
"It seems that the kid has returned but you have already used up the grace that has been given to you. You dare covet the treasure of the Dragon Turtle Palace by absorbing it!" The head of the guards stated as Adrian and Urashima Taro is suddenly surrounded by nurous guards. "Let us not be hasty now as we did not co here to fight or create trouble." Adrian stated as his entire aura suddenly flared up because he no longer kept it in. Kanlaon also did the sa as they needed to make the ones in the hidden realm see that they an business. He already knows people that are like the head of the guards in real life as they will back down once you appear more dignified.
The dignity of an Asmodian plus that of a Genesis Dragon made all of the beings other than the head of the guards bow down. The prestige that Adrian and Kanlaon emitted was enough to make even so nobles bow down because of their bloodline. Adrian rarely uses this because it is not a good precedent when you are aiming for good connections, but the other party started with hostility which is why he opted for it.
Kanlaon looked at the head of the guards and emitted his aura more to the point that even those in the city felt it. The presence of a true dragon made all of the beings in the city bow down in reverence as they are in the presence of a progenitor type existence. Even the royal family of the Dragon Turtles cannot feign ignorance upon a presence like Kanlaon.
"We are here to talk with the Dragon Turtle King. Please send the ssage while I am still being nice. We all know what demons can do to realms hidden in a parallel dinsion." Adrian stated which made the leader of the guard tremble and imdiately send a ssenger to the palace.
"We have already sent word of your arrival. May we please have our magic unit fix the entrance? We do not wish for other uninvited beings to enter our realm." The head of the guard stated as he bowed down as they can now move easily since Kanlaon already receded so of his aura.
"No need for that." Adrian stated as he snapped his finger and Paradox returned to side. As soon as Paradox returned to Adrian's side, all of the origin energy that he placed inside of it was also absorbed. The entrance that looked extrely broken is suddenly fixed with just a snap of his finger. This operation is actually quite easy for him since getting into a door was much more difficult than fixing one. Adrian already has lots of instances fixing parts of the dinsional barrier that he actually found it boring.
"I did not expect that the young boy that saved my daughter back then would bring a very distinguished guest." A regal voice suddenly stated as an old looking but valiant man suddenly appeared in front of Adrian and Urashima Taro.
"I greet the King of the Dragon Turtles." Urashima Taro stated as he bowed towards the person that suddenly appeared.
"A pleasure to et you, King of the Dragon Turtles. I am Equinox, diator of Death." Adrian stated without bowing as he did not need to since he has higher standing now compared to the king that ca in front of him.
He also did not bow down because he felt so aggression from the King of the Dragon Turtles. The aggression was not targeted towards him but rather to Urashima Taro. Adrian made sure to cancel the sudden aggressive aura that the King of the Dragon Turtles sent out so that Urashima Taro would not be hard. He did not know why soone that gave him a blessing would suddenly want to hurt them.
"I greet the diator of Death. I am King Ka Yashashi of the Dragon Turtles. I welco you into my palace where we would need to talk about your sudden visit. If the diator does not mind." King Ka Yashashi stated as he tried probing into Adrian, but he could not actually do it.
This was the first ti that King Ka Yashashi could not asure the danger level of his guest even if his entire energy is maintaining this realm. As if the realm that he created himself was suddenly saying that he must treat Adrian well or else. The hidden realm that he created also has a will because it was made using the power of the Cintamani stones that past Dragon Turtles have. You can say that the entire realm is a collection of the souls and power of past Dragon Turtles.
The fact that the realm itself did not eject Adrian and Urashima Taro already ant sothing. King Ka Yashashi made sure to not let his slight anger towards Urashima Taro blind him from the companion that he brought. King Ka Yashashi is already familiar with demons but the demon that ca to his realm is vastly different from the ones he encountered before. This was the first ti that he felt a demon that has the energy of both life and death along with Origin Energy.
"It is already bad enough that you stole a Cintamani from us, but you also brought soone that can destroy dinsions to our very ho. At the very least, they do not seem to be here to do bad things, and he even fixed the entrance as if it was easy. It would have taken three days to fix the damage that he did to the gate if it was my n that did it." King Ka Yashashi thought as they entered the palace pagoda.
"Taro!" A female voice suddenly shouted which made Urashima Taro look towards the source.
A beautiful petite woman suddenly ca swimming towards Adrian and Urashima Taro in great delight. As if she suddenly reunited with a past lover or sothing, the petite woman could be no other than the princess that Urashima Taro has saved. Adrian suddenly pieced it together why Urashima Taro did not age. He did not age because of the Dragon Turtle Princess that wished for it.
He has heard of a bead looking stone that Dragon Turtles use that grants them imnse power. The Vermillion Bird asked Adrian about it as well and she called it the Cintamani. It is a wish fulfilling stone that makes the wish of the owner co true. Adrian then looked at the bead looking thing that is keeping Urashima Taro's soul rooted in the mortal realm and it
matched perfectly.
Adrian then looked at the soul of the princess and saw that it did not have a bead like object like that of the king. Adrian could suddenly piece together what is happening, but he needed confirmation from the king and princess before he makes such claims. Still, the reasoning that he thought of could clearly explain why the king is angry at Urashima Taro.
"A misunderstanding because of the brashness of a princess. I thought it only existed in dramas, but it is also in gas. I can clearly see that she is still smitten by Urashima Taro while the latter is just uncomfortable." Adrian thought as he saw the interaction between the
two.
One is the savior of her life and views him as the hero. The other is the origin of his tornt but also the source of his long life. Adrian could now see where this was heading but he just prays that it will proceed without any mishaps. He ca here to find a way for Wisteria to evolve not to be mixed in so family drama.
