A terrible silence!!
' Why has this young man become so silent? Is he afraid before he even meets him?' The Void Lord thought as he noticed the young man's expression.
' I don't think so. If he's afraid, I'll know. This is my domain after all, but this makes this young man even more strange. He doesn't give off any specific vibes, just calm and indifferent...'
Moments later, the young man finally spoke, breaking the silence that pervaded the Void.
' Fine, I'll accept the mission—' Before the young man could finish his sentence, an excited voice interrupted him.
' Really!!!! You're taking this mission? Oh my God, this is the best news I've heard in years.'
The Void Lord looked strange for a moment, but after realizing what he was doing, he straightened his posture. Despite his face not being visible, he was deeply embarrassed by the young man.
' Is this really someone who has lived hundreds of years?' The young man thought to himself, but he didn't pay much attention to his actions. There were more important things to consider right now.
' But what if I haven't awakened my bloodline and the body I'll be reincarnated into also lacks a bloodline? How will I accomplish the mission?' The young man wondered about the problem his brain was currently struggling with.
The Void Lord thought for a moment before answering him seriously.
"I've thought about this too and come up with some solutions, if you like them." The young man listened attentively to what he had to say next.
"First, I'll give you a special weapon that even I've never used before. I've prepared it for the person who accepts my mission. It will be useful to you."
"Second, I'll give you one of my skills that you can use without using mana. But be careful not to let anyone know about this, because it's nearly impossible. If they do, the consequences will be dire."
"Third, I'll give you a map leading to ancient dungeons where two of my powerful followers are being held captive. All you have to do is rescue them, and they'll help you eliminate them."
The Lord finished, but what greeted him was the young man's expression, as if to say, "Are you an idiot or something?"
"Is there something wrong with my plan?" the Lord asked, puzzled.
"From your words, it seems that this demon has defeated you or something, and your followers you're talking about have also been defeated. While you were trapped and weak, he must have grown stronger..." The young man paused before continuing seriously.
"Then how could your weak followers, and even someone without a bloodline, defeat him? He's the one who became stronger?"
The Void Lord remained silent for a moment, with Shen in front of him, waiting for an answer to this question.
'He really is smarter than expected to deduce this from just my words...' The Lord thought, not knowing how to respond to the young man.
"You know what..." Suddenly, a calm voice brought him out of his thoughts.
"Just give me the weapon and skill you were talking about, and I'll take care of the rest somehow," the young man spoke calmly, confirming his choice to go on the mission.
The Lord remained silent for a while after the young man finally agreed to his request.
"You really want to go to the world of Zark for my mission?" he asked after a short silence, his tone both surprised and excited. "I think so," the young man answered calmly, unsure whether the person in front of him had lived all those years.
After his answer, the ruler raised his hand, and a dark purple ring appeared from the void. He calmly handed it to the young man in front of him.
"This is where everything I've told you about is located, and consider this ring a special gift from me. You won't have to worry about the space it holds, as it has no limits. All you have to do is drop a drop of your blood on it, and it will become yours entirely."
"In addition, the map isn't 100% accurate, as I don't remember everything from that world, but the locations should be close to the one marked with the red marker."
After he finished explaining, he didn't wait long and summoned a purple portal behind him.
"What about the skill? How—?" Before the young man could finish his question, he felt so dizzy that he couldn't stand up straight.
"You're so stubborn, you're the most difficult human I've ever had to accept." The ruler's tone changed, sounding more powerful and authoritative than before.
" "Do you think I care about the mission? I only need victims to become my loyal slaves and restore my stolen power."
"Then, you fool, I will take my revenge myself. I won't need a weak, arrogant human like you to avenge me."
His tone was filled with mockery and contempt for the young man, but unfortunately, a hellish pain coursed through his veins, so he couldn't resist and get up. All he could do was lie there and listen to the madman's conversations, his entire body in pain.
"Farewell, my new slave. I'll see you soon after you and your brothers revive a vessel suitable for me." The ruler said, lifting the young man with a mysterious purple aura before throwing him through the portal.
[Mana presence detected]
[Conditions met for bloodline awakening]
[Bloodline awakened]
[Your bloodline is...]
[You must...]
...
As soon as the young man entered the portal, he saw several system notifications quickly appear before him.
But in his current state he wasn't fully focused and didn't see all the notifications, as he quickly lost consciousness.
