Chapter 14: Chapter 14: The Bones of the Reaper and Demon King
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
"I followed you to your house and then realised there was another terminal on your bed. That's how I came in."
Chikage was combing his fur with his paws as he calmly replied.
"What the f**k?" Jiang Ming screamed out loud as if someone had stepped on his toes. His entire body was shaking and had a hurtful expression on his face as he said, "You used the other terminal that I left on the bed?! You dumb, stupid cat! I could have used it to pay my sister's tuition fees! You son of a b*tch, I just lost thirty thousand!"
Chikage dug his nose and snorted at Jiang Ming as he continued to cry about his other terminal. Then, out of nowhere, he took out a scroll and threw it towards Jiang Ming, "Master… can't you stop embarrassing yourself? It's only thirty thousand! Go ahead and sell this mission scroll. You can sell it for a much higher price than the terminal!"
The Almighty Immovable Protector was judged by a cat all because of thirty thousand yuan. No one would actually believe that this was actually happening.
Jiang Ming who was disdained by Chikage and was about to scream in rage immediately stopped and took a look at the scroll that Chikage threw at him.
The Reaper's Job Mission Scroll: Job Transfer Mission
Intro: After destroying it, complete the mission and your job will be automatically changed to a hidden reaper's job class.
"Sh*t, this is a hidden job transfer mission scroll. Where did you get it?" Jiang Ming looked at Chikage in shock after taking a good look at the scroll.
"I got it from a cave deep inside the mine and there's still a lot of treasure there. However, I can't carry all of it in my inventory since it's too small. If you want, I can bring you there." Chikage pointed towards the depth of the mind as he answered Jiang Ming.
"Lead the way!"
After listening to Chikage, Jiang Ming got excited. He quickly took out a fire torch and went into the depths of the mine.
The inside of the mine was like a maze, but with Chikage leading the way, they soon reached a cave with a very small entrance.
The entrance could only fit a cat. It would be impossible for a human-like him to go through.
"Uh~ Chikage. Could you make it a little bigger? How would I fit through such a small entrance?" Jiang Ming said to Chikage who was resting on his shoulders.
"No problem!"
Chikage immediately jumped off Jiang Ming's shoulders and went straight for the hole. He swung his sharp claws near the entrance of the cave and surprisingly, the rocks were cut into pieces like tofu.
"Walaaaa~~~"
With a few gentle knocks, all the broken rocks fell to the ground and the entrance became a few times bigger.
"Thanks."
Jiang Ming said to Chikage before walking into the cave.
He crawled through the entrance and his eyes widened as he stood inside a huge stone chamber.
The stone chamber was initially filled with Black Serpents. However, after seeing Chikage, all of them ran away and disappeared. Then, Jiang Ming took a good look at the stone chamber.
The stone chamber was huge with an altar inside and there were two sets of skeletons next to the altar. One of them was a human skeleton that was standing with one of its arms outstretched into the other skeleton. That was a skeleton with three heads and six arms. It had a snake-like skeleton which occupied more than half the stone chamber. There was a strong devilish energy constantly emanating from it.
The position of both the skeletons looks like they had died after killing each other.
Jiang Ming was curious and threw an investigation scroll towards them.
The Reaper's skull: ??
The Demon King's skeleton: ??
After using the scroll, these were the attributes that appeared right in front of him. However, what surprised him was that he could only see their names with no other information.
Although it is impossible to detect the attributes of both the skeletons, but from their names, he could already guess that both the Reaper and the Demon King were very powerful figures amongst the demon race in Divine Land.
But there was something that he couldn't figure out. Both of them were powerful figures from the same race, why would they kill each other?
As he was deep in thought about this matter, Jiang Ming walked towards the bones and was looking around for something. However, Jiang Ming was disappointed as he couldn't find anything else. Other than the two skeletons there, there was also a badly damaged armour on the reaper's bones. There was nothing else there and Jiang Ming couldn't help but feel devastated.
"Chikage, where are the treasures that you talked about? Please don't tell me that it's these bones?"
Jiang Ming stared at Chikage and questioned it.
When he saw Chikage nodding his head, he became speechless.
He couldn't see the attributes of both the bones and wouldn't know if they were suitable to be deconstructed into raw materials. With a small hope in his heart, he placed his hands on the Reaper's skull and released the Divine Deconstruction Technique.
Ding~ System notification: Deconstruction successful. Congratulations. You've received 2 pieces of demon bones, 2 demon hearts, 2 demon stones and one mysterious fruit."
"Hong~"
"Eh?"
Jiang Ming didn't expect that the deconstruction would be so successful. As soon as he finished deconstructing the two skeletons, the badly damaged armour that was initially on the Reapers skeleton fell to the ground as the bones disappeared. Supposedly, from the look of the stone chamber, they must have been here since a long time ago and the armour should have disappeared along with the bones. But why did it fall to the ground like a piece of rock?
With a head filled with questions, he went towards the armour that was initially on the Reaper and just when he tried to lift it up, he realised that he was unable to do so!
(Badly Damaged Reaper's armour) : ???
As he used another investigation scroll, just like before, there was no other information given other than its name.
"My god, why is this armour so heavy?! I can't even put it into my inventory!" Jiang Ming said in shock.
"Master, the Reaper's armour is a divine equipment. It would definitely be a little special." It seemed like Chikage knew the game better than him.
Jiang Ming nodded his head. That was true. Starting from the spiritual equipment, there would be more special features as the level got higher, and of course, it would become very rare.
After being reminded, Jiang Ming no longer tried to pick up the Reaper's armour. Instead, he placed his hands on the Reaper's armour and released the Divine Deconstruction Technique on the armour.
Ding~ System notification: Not enough stamina. Unable to deconstruct!
"What? Not enough stamina?" Jiang Ming paused for a while before continuing, "I only used the technique once. Why don't I have any stamina left?"
As he opened his attributes bar, the 'stamina' column that is supposed to be full was already emptied. That meant that the deconstruction from before had used up 210 points of stamina!
"I can't believe it took up that much stamina to deconstruct a high-level equipment. I guess the manual wasn't clear with its instructions."
Jiang Ming was left speechless. Since he had no stamina left, all he could do now was to wait for it to recover.
Just as he was waiting, he started looking through the items that he got from before. The one thing that made him really excited was that he managed to get a special fruit.
He had always wanted to know the attributes of the mysterious fruit and now that he finally got it, he opened his inventory and looked at the maroon-coloured fruit.
