He was partially a necromancer as he had already harvested some souls of the boars.
Along with that, many souls of dead wolves were also in his party.
All of them were roughly Lv.20 to Lv.30, and now, they had regressed back to Lv.1 and were in soul form with no sign of any intelligence.
It was the same for the Boar King Avan too. He was at Lv.100, yet, after dying, his soul was roughly regressed to Lv.1, however, he could regain his power once conditions were met.
Nevertheless, Shin realized that Pekka was saying the truth about losing 50 to 100 levels.
Alright… this much was fine. But as Shin proceeded to think, he realized how terrifyingly powerful Rekka, Pekka and his gang were.
If even after losing 100 Levels, a soul can retain their intelligence and even have enough power to fight – it would only mean one thing: they were definitely above Lv.100 when they were alive.
'Lv.100 lost to adventurers 400 years ago…'
'It's been 400 years yet the leader of the adventurer is still alive…'
'If he had would have levelled up, then how strong would he be now?'
*gulp*
'Did I do the right thing by accepting this mission?', Shin thought as chills ran down his spine.
"Back to the point, all the strong souls have a meeting with each other in death valley, and wandering souls visit death valley too so we came to know about that kingdom.", Pekka concluded.
"Well, that explains, it," Shin said, trying to remain calm.
They all then started to walk toward the end of the valley. At that time, the semi-transparent wolves became completely transparent and were no longer visible, but Shin used his all-seeing eyes. He was able to see them again.
As they all were walking, Shin asked Pekka another question.
"Hey, I have a question…"
"Feel free to ask."
"Do you know about the Gem of Truth?"
As soon as Shin asked this question Pekka's and Rekka's eyes widened.
"It seems that you both do."
"Yes."
"No"
"…"
"…"
"Damn Rekka, you should stop lying all the time," Pekka said with an annoyed look to which Rekka said.
"I never spoke a lie in my whole life."
"..."
"..."
Everyone was speechless when they heard it. Silence enveloped the place but was soon broken by Shin's sharp voice.
"Anyway tell me about the gem of truth."
"You see, the Gem of Truth is one of the most powerful weapo- erm, Item…"
"And I was it's guardian…"
'A guardian!?'
'…And he was killed by someone?'
'How powerful was that leader of the adventures?', Shin thought with a shocked expression.
He had already thought about Pekka being above Lv.100, but after hearing that he was a guardian, he even ended up accepting the fact that Pekka could have been above Lv.200…
"The weapon of truth. It had two powerful abilities and one unique ability."
Unique ability:
- Immortality
Original abilities:
1] The Domain of Truth - Allows the user to create a domain where every lie will be erased.
2] Desert Control [10℅] - Allows the user to control ten per cent of the desert.
"Wow, is that so?", Shin was utterly surprised when he heard this.
He recalled the side quest that asked him to get the gem back and he would be its owner. This indirectly meant that 10% of the desert would end up under his control, not to mention, immortality and the domain of truth.
To be precise, immortality was probably the best effect of the gem, however, even with immortality, just how did Pekka end up dying? – Shin kept asking himself.
He then snapped out of it and then stared at Rekka who was just beside Pekka.
A sudden thought popped into his mind.
"Wait, if you are the guardian of the gem of truth, does then that mean..." Shin said as he looked at Rekka.
"Exactly. He is the guardian of the gem of a lie.", Pekka answered before Shin could finish asking.
Shin didn't comment anymore nor asked anything else. He silently continued walking down the valley.
Soon they all reached the end of death valley.
It was desert yet again.
Shin thought about it for a second.
He wanted to leave his pack behind with the ghost wolves because taking them could be troublesome. But then again, he thought that they could just hide in his shadows.
Thus, he continued walking in the desert along with his pack.
After walking a few miles, all of them suddenly stopped.
It was because Shin wanted to check something.
Although the kingdom was still quite far away from where they stood, Shin decided to use his All-Seeing Eyes.
Thankfully, he could see the walls of the kingdom which seemed to be made out of sand.
'Ha… As expected of All Seeing eyes. It lets me see far places too…'
'But I need to confirm his range…', Shin thought.
However, he couldn't do that right now. That's because, he couldn't see through something…
Shin couldn't see through the walls of the kingdom. He could see a faint blue-coloured holy aura covering the walls.
'I can't see through even with All Seeing eyes…'
'Is it because it's max range or because of that blue aura?', Shin asked himself.
Soon they all started to walk at a faster pace. After about fifty minutes, they reached the walls of the kingdom.
Of course, they were only about three hundred metres away from it.
Shin once again activated all-seeing eyes but just like the previous time, he couldn't see through the wall.
At that time all of a sudden the sand beneath them started to shake and a head burst out of it which was followed by the rest of the body.
It was a giant desert serpent.
"Be alert!", Shin said as he quickly jumped and then used his Aero slash.
The aero slash crashed with the scales of the serpent creating a dull metallic noise.
The snake spat out a black-coloured liquid at the Shin but he dodged it by jumping very high. At that time the sand beneath them started to shake and this time multiple snakes burst out of it.
Thanks to them being alert, no one was injured.
All the desert serpents that appeared, started to spit the black liquid at Shin and the pack.
