Episode 43. Moon Road
“iced coffee.”
“Goddess… … .”
“Goddess Moon Force.”
“We are truly sorry. We forgot about you, Goddess.”
“But the goddess has not forgotten us.”
“I will never betray your trust again. I will repay your trust.”
The elder elves bowed their heads in amazement.
-There are those who remember the ancient god, Moon Force, the goddess of the moon. Their forgotten faith has been awakened!
-The power of the goddess has grown stronger!
-The power of [Frost Cut] has been strengthened.
-The power of [Moon Force] has been strengthened.
Ethan’s words shook their hearts.
‘It’s a success.’
It didn’t matter whether Ethan’s words were true or not. The priority was to tell them what they needed to hear right now.
“Your Highness, I apologize for not being able to properly carry out the duties that were entrusted to me as the queen leading the fairies.”
“No, it is said that the fairies who have ascended to the throne for generations have never forgotten that duty. My god knew all about that fact.”
When Ethan said that, pride filled the Queen’s eyes.
“I think I can help you more, my lord.”
Tiring-!
-The Fairy Queen Meredith would like to make a contract with you.
-If you make a contract with Merdi, you can borrow the power of the Fairy Queen.
[Surviving as Ethan Wickers] 3rd quest.
A selection window will appear, allowing you to clear a quest to make a contract with a being that can help you survive.
If you make a contract with the Fairy Queen here, your chances of survival will definitely increase greatly.
‘Not bad for the Queen of the Fairies.’
But Ethan didn’t nod easily.
‘But I can’t be satisfied with this.’
The Fairy Queen’s contract would help in the short term, but Ethan intended to make a contract with a being one level higher than the Fairy Queen.
‘The compensation will vary depending on who signed the contract.’
It is better to clear the quest by maximizing the rewards.
“Merdy, I appreciate your offer, but the fairies need a queen.”
Meredith smiled at the polite refusal.
“That’s true. They still need me, but I definitely want to help them someday.”
“Thank you, Merdi.”
“Then I will grant you what you wish. Your Majesty, have you come to find the temple? I will guide you to the temple.”
Ethan came out of the tree with Meredith.
The fairies came out to greet Ethan, their lights twinkling.
“Thank you again for saving my life and for clearing the forest. It’s all thanks to you, Ethan.”
As Merdi said that, she flapped her wings. Then, a warm breeze blew around her for a moment.
“Could you please give me your hand?”
As Ethan held out his hand, the Fairy Queen came close to the back of Ethan’s hand and kissed it.
“May all your journeys be blessed.”
-Blessed by Fairy Queen Meredith.
-All stats permanently increase by 5.
-You have become the savior of the Fairy Forest. Your fame increases by 30!
With the blessing of the Fairy Queen, your reputation has risen. You have also neatly collected the final reward.
“… … .”
Yeorika, who was watching the scene from behind, felt a strange feeling.
“I will guide you. Let’s go to the temple, Your Highness.”
* * *
Before Ethan left for the temple, he saved the Fairy Forest from the wind and clouds.
-The Fairy Forest is registered in Pungun.
-You can return to the Fairy Forest at any time using the Wind Cloud.
Now you can come to this fairy forest at any time.
‘I think it would be a good idea to create a portal like this.’
The good thing about Pungun is that it is not necessarily restricted by location.
As long as you registered your location, whether it was in the middle of a city or on a road, you could move anywhere at any time.
‘However, it is not possible to register infinitely.’
Basically, only cities or strongholds could be registered continuously, and only five places other than these could be registered in total.
“Come this way.”
Ethan and Yerika followed the Fairy Queen. With the Fairy Queen as their guide, the Forester was no longer needed.
The forester, speechless from the shock of seeing Ethan, sent him back to the city.
The forest keeper would have wanted to go back quickly too.
“Ethan, are you really a descendant of the Goddess of the Moon? Then, is the Count Wickus family a family that inherited the will of the Goddess?”
“No, I am the only descendant. After becoming sick, I was lucky enough to gain the power of the goddess.”
With those words, Yeerika learned why Ethan was so strong.
“So, going to the temple means making an offering to the moon goddess?”
“Well, I guess that’s what it is.”
The goal of the quest was to inform the Moon Goddess that you were now her new descendant.
The simplest way to make it known was by offering tribute.
If you make an offering at the temple, the Moon Goddess will probably recognize you as her new descendant.
‘Maybe you already know.’
The quest could have been completed simply by reaching the temple, without having to offer any tribute.
‘If I receive the blessing of the Moon Goddess, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to obtain several other blessings or at least one superpower.’
The current Ethan had the Frost Sword-Leah.
This frost sword, which is a sword that is good just by looking at it, will be the best treasure for treasure hunters or those who collect strong swords.
It will certainly catch the attention of those with other goals.
‘Because there are more than one or two beast king-like guys.’
For those who would try to take what they want, Frostblade-Leah was an easy target.
‘Treasure is not something that ends once you acquire it.’
A treasure is meaningless if you don’t have the power to protect it.
A treasure becomes a treasure only when you have the power to protect it.
‘Without strength, this is not a treasure, but a disaster.’
As we walked along for a while, guided by the Fairy Queen, all the light suddenly disappeared.
And beyond that I saw a bright blue light.
“It looks like moonlight.”
The Fairy Queen nodded at the entranced gaze and words of Yerika. A beautiful light shone down as if illuminating the path.
“This is the doorway leading to the temple.”
It was a very beautiful road.
“You’ve taken good care of it.”
“Because that is the duty. From here on out, only Ethan, the descendant, can enter.”
“I’ll be back, Yeri.”
“Have a nice trip. I’ll be standing here.”
Ethan walked down the Moon Road, leaving the Queen and Yereka behind.
-This is a place where only qualified people can enter.
– Check your qualifications.
– Confirmed to be a descendant of the goddess Moon Force.
As I walked down the road and entered, a temple that was neither too big nor too small appeared.
The building, built in the ancient style, was quite beautiful.
“I guess I’m starting to understand a little bit now. It was half broken back then.”
Even though it looked a little dated now, its shape was still intact.
“huh?”
But something strange was seen. A pitch-black aura was entangled around the temple pillars like a snake.
As Ethan approached, a swoosh was heard from inside the temple.
“It’s surprising that someone came all the way to the temple to visit a god that no one knows about. But, poor thing, there is no god here. This place is already.”
What emerged from inside the pitch-black temple was a giant snake.
“It’s my territory.”
[lv 66]
‘This is crazy.’
A monster with a lower body similar to a giant snake and an upper body similar to a human female.
It was a high-level monster, Lamia. Why was a monster that would normally only be found in a labyrinth here?
“This temple is quite a maze, and it is a perfect place for me to make my home. If you, human, have come to offer an offering to the god, I will eat it. Together with you.”
It wasn’t just any ordinary Lamia. It was incredibly large. It was surprising how it managed to enter the temple with such a large body.
“Phew.”
As expected, the quest wouldn’t be cleared easily. Ethan took up the Frost Sword.
Due to the monsters’ calamity characteristics, their weaknesses are visible. Compared to when he was lucky enough to catch the Beast King, the current Ethan has grown significantly.
‘You can catch as much as you want.’
-The monsters’ disaster special effects are activated.
– Gain an advantage over snake-shaped monsters. Their weaknesses are more visible.
‘uh?’
It was an unexpected special effect.
‘Was there a story about Hercules slaying a snake?’
If there was such a story and special effects, then Hong Gil-dong’s story might have special effects as well.
‘The same goes for Heo Jun’s acupuncture.’
Swish-.
But now was not the time to think about that. I had to focus on that huge Lamia, who was level 66.
“It would be perfect if I offered you as an offering to the Moon Goddess.”
“Yeah, the prey has to be active to be good. It has to be fresh to be tasty.”
Lamia approached Ethan at incredible speed, her tongue flickering.
“Kyaaaaak-!”
As it rushed in like that, it spat something out.
“It’s too late to avoid it, human!”
Lamia’s poison spread like a net and covered Ethan. Even if he avoided it, he would still be fatally wounded.
But when Ethan remained still, Lamia thought that Ethan had given up.
“Make me more entertained.”
The prey must be fresh to taste good.
But it didn’t matter if I gave up. If I ate that human who came to offer tribute to the moon goddess, wouldn’t I be able to gain the power of the moon?
Charak-!
Lamia’s poison covered Ethan.
“huh?”
But something was strange.
It was clear that he should have been poisoned and burned to a crisp at the same time.
“What is that?”
I heard a clanking sound.
But the human who should have been burned was standing there, unharmed.
“What is this?”
Shh.
Ethan picked up the Frost Sword and swung it.
“Something good for your health.”
“How dare you! You human!”
The angry Lamia swung her tail.
Ethan’s eyes showed Lamia’s weakness.
The additional effects of the monsters’ calamities have revealed numerous weak points.
The reddest dot among them.
‘Over there.’
Ethan took aim at that point.
“Hoooo.”
As I exhaled, pure white breath came out.
“Frost cutting.”
Thanks to the awakening of the fairies’ faith, the frost slash became even more powerful and cut through Lamia’s weak point.
Slightly above the tail.
The part where the scales were slightly different in color was the critical weak point.
Sigh!
As soon as it hit, Lamia’s tail froze.
“Eeeeek!”
Lamia, whose tail had been cut off, hurriedly stepped back with a pained expression.
“It’s not a power that a human can exert! Oh, how!”
Lamia tried to escape into the temple.
But Ethan had no intention of letting go easily.
“Your leather looks quite expensive.”
“Get out of here! I said get out of here!”
“I’ll make you leather armor.”
Ethan swung his sword as he breathed.
