Transcendent Warrior With A Dimensional Shifting Inventory 96

The Celestial Mother, the mother of all dragons.

Minhyuk wasn’t particularly surprised to see her in front of him.

He had expected that after he killed Srinijam, she would be the next to come.

Minhyuk quickly thought about the battle with her that might happen soon.

‘Will the Arrow of Light work?’

The Arrow of Light was a special weapon for hunting Flamma Dragons.

He didn’t know if it would be similarly effective against the Celestial Mother.

He had expected her to appear, but he hadn’t prepared a weapon in advance.

The people of Matop Square also had little information about the Celestial Mother.

This was because she spent most of her time in a different dimension and rarely appeared on the continent of Rania.

At the very least, he needed to know her species so that he could prepare a weapon with opposing attributes.

Even now, the Appraisal skill wasn’t activated because he was too far away from her.

To get information about her, he had to get closer.

‘Or I have to use another method…’

As Minhyuk remained silent, she continued.

[I didn’t come here to fight you.]

“Then why are you here?”

[You killed four of my children.]

“Are you here to question that? You only know the result, but you don’t know why I killed the dragons?”

Up until now, the dragons had all attacked first.

At first, it was to take the Bead of Teidon.

After that, it was to kill Minhyuk.

He had used their hearts after killing them, but strictly speaking, it was self-defense.

[I know everything. But as their mother, I can’t help but resent you.]

Suddenly, he remembered something from the past.

Was it when he was in the third grade of elementary school?

There was this kid who tormented Minhyuk every day.

He would come up to him and hit him whenever he felt like it.

He would draw on his desk and books.

Minhyuk, who was usually docile, eventually exploded.

It was because of a piece of paper that the kid had secretly taped to Minhyuk’s back.

＜Cripple Without a Mother＞

The moment he saw it, his vision narrowed and his body moved automatically.

He threw a punch at the guy’s face.

It was a weak punch, but the guy’s nose was weaker.

Blood gushed out.

Minhyuk ended up staying in the teacher’s office with the guy after school.

The teacher called their parents.

At the time, Minhyuk’s father was late because of work.

The guy’s mother, who came first, glared at Minhyuk.

-Why did you hit your friend? Are you a bully?!

Minhyuk was so angry and wronged that he burst into tears and cried out loud.

-He called me a cripple without a mother first!

Then the guy’s mother looked momentarily taken aback and repeated the same words.

-So you think you did the right thing? No matter the reason, you shouldn’t hit people! What are you going to be when you grow up?

It may not always be the case, but most parents protect their children in any situation.

It doesn’t matter much to them whether they are right or wrong.

They are on their child’s side whether they did well or not.

That’s why it’s sad to not have parents.

But Minhyuk wasn’t a child anymore.

He was long past the age of crying to the sky and saying, ‘The dragons attacked me first!’

“So what do you want to say?”

[I will order the dragons to stop attacking you. So please stop killing my children.]

It was a proposal for a peace treaty.

If he accepted her proposal, he wouldn’t have to deal with the dragons in the future.

However, it was not a very pleasant proposal for Minhyuk in the current situation.

He had just acquired the best equipment for hunting dragons in the Demon Tower Square.

It was a loss for Minhyuk to make a peace treaty with the dragons when the conditions for hunting were optimal.

“What should I do? I’m not satisfied yet.”

[My children attacked you first, but they are all dead by your hand. Can’t we end it here? Are you doing this because you need the heart of a dragon?]

In the future, he could easily obtain the heart of a dragon by buying a motorcycle.

What Minhyuk couldn’t give up was the return time.

Killing a dragon granted him tens of thousands times more return time than hunting a single goblin.

However, he couldn’t tell the Heavenly Queen about the return time.

“What I want is the lives of the dragons. The heart is just a spoil of war.”

[Do you really have to kill all the dragons on the continent of Rania to be satisfied?]

“I never said I would kill them all. I’ll stop when my anger subsides.”

Minhyuk’s life expectancy in the real world was 100 years.

Minhyuk was almost thirty years old.

So if he accumulated about 70 years of return time, he could use it until he died.

In case he lived to be over 100 years old, he would accumulate 80 or 90 years just to be safe.

Then I won’t have to fixate on accumulating return time anymore.

[Oh! Michael!]

The Heavenly Mother called Minhyuk’s name.

[I never knew your anger towards the dragons ran this deep. How can I appease your anger?]

“If you offer me the lives of 3,000 dragons, I might let it go.”

The return time you could accumulate by killing a regular dragon, not an elder dragon, was ten days.

If he killed 3,000 dragons, he could accumulate about 80 years of return time.

Minhyuk had uttered the number he needed based on thorough calculation.

However, the Heavenly Mother misunderstood Minhyuk’s words.

[I take it there’s no room for negotiation. I understand. Do as you wish. I shall do as I wish, too.]

Negotiations had fallen through.

All that was left was battle, then.

Thwack-

Minhyuk took out a bow from his inventory and aimed it at the Heavenly Mother.

Thud-

He fired an arrow without hesitation.

Thwack-

The arrow flew straight.

The Heavenly Mother didn’t move an inch.

Was it because she couldn’t dodge it or because she wouldn’t dodge it?

Thwack-

The arrow pierced through her body and kept flying.

It wasn’t a powerful force that had pierced through her.

It was as if her body, like a ghost’s, had no substance.

[Now I understand why even Srinijamma fell to you. You really are a man without hesitation.]

Thwack-

She took out a small dagger from her inventory and gripped it.

It wasn’t to attack Minhyuk with it.

Ping-

As she swung the dagger, space was sharply cut.

The Heavenly Mother walked into the gap of the cut space.

As she did, she left Minhyuk with these words.

[I shall come for you again later. That time, I will surely take your life.]

As soon as the Heavenly Mother disappeared, the cut space closed up again.

Minhyuk was left alone on the lake.

Flap, flap-

He crossed the lake riding Chun-sam.

He reached the point where the water ended and land began.

“Land near that tree over there.”

“Landing near the tree!”

Chun-sam landed on the ground.

Thud-

Min-hyuk jumped off Chun-sam’s back and stood in front of the tree.

An arrow was embedded in the trunk of the tree.

It was the arrow he had shot at the Great Mother of the Sky earlier.

＜Probe Arrow＞

– An information-gathering arrow crafted by weapon artisan Shimaur.

– Can obtain some information about the target it hits.

He hadn’t used the Bow of Light.

He had used a special arrow he had bought at the Magic Tower Square to obtain information about her, who was veiled.

He had to take the arrow to a weapon shop to analyze the information stored in it.

Min-hyuk poured magic power into the pendant of his necklace.

BAM-

With a flash of light, he was transported to Magic Tower Square.

The midday sun beat down on his head.

Clatter, clatter-

Bustling people,

The familiar scenery unfolded before his eyes.

From Noble mtl dot com

Whoosh-

Min-hyuk moved to the Magic Tower.

And arrived in front of a weapon shop.

＜Shimaur’s Magic Weapon Shop＞

As he entered the shop, a burly, middle-aged man with bulging muscles greeted Min-hyuk.

“Welcome! Is this your first time in our shop?”

“I’ve been here before.”

“Really? I usually don’t forget a face I’ve seen before.”

“I bought this here, too.”

Min-hyuk showed the Probe Arrow to the shopkeeper.

He nodded.

“That’s right! We’re the only ones who sell this arrow in our shop.”

“I want to know the information stored in the arrow.”

The shopkeeper examined the arrowhead closely.

“There’s no blood on it…”

“I definitely hit her. But the arrow just passed through her.”

“What did you hit?”

“The Great Mother of the Sky.”

Gasp-

The shopkeeper’s eyes widened.

“Was it really the Great Mother of the Sky?”

“She said it herself. The mother of all dragons.”

“What does she look like?”

“I have never seen her true form. All I have seen is her human form.”

There was little concrete information about the Lady of the Sky, but there were a few rumors going around.

One of them was that she was a ‘previous generation’ who had existed since before the ‘Apocalypse’.

And the other was about her appearance when she transformed into a human form.

“By any chance, a woman with pure white hair from head to toe?”

“That’s right.”

Suddenly-

The shopkeeper took the arrow Minhyuk handed him and ran into the workshop in the back of the store.

Then he put the arrow in a magic tool with a crystal ball embedded in it.

BOOM-

Light emanated from the magic tool.

The shopkeeper came out to the store again.

And while serving tea to Minhyuk, he said.

“It will take as long as it takes to drink a cup of tea to decode the information.”

“The arrow didn’t stick in and just passed through, but will anything come out?”

“I crafted the arrow with such a case in mind. Something will definitely come out. If that woman is truly the Lady of the Sky.”

Slurp-

Minhyuk took a sip of tea.

The color and scent were similar, so he wondered if it was, and it was Donnie tea.

The tea that tasted just like coffee.

“This is Donnie tea.”

“I see you know it. Well, it’s quite popular these days.”

There was Donnie tea even 20,000 years ago.

It was strange, but not very important.

However,

“Do you know this by any chance? Donnie tea is not originally from this world.”

Minhyuk asked back at the shopkeeper’s words.

“Then which world is it from?”

“I heard the name, but I forgot it. Etio··· what was it.”

He just said it on a whim.

“Ethiopia?”

“Yes, that’s right, Ethiopia! Donnie tea was originally called···.”

“Coffee?”

“Yes, that’s right! You know more about it than I do!”

“By any chance, can I see the beans··· no, the appearance before it’s ground?”

The shopkeeper brought Donnie beans to Minhyuk.

They looked exactly like coffee beans.

Donnie tea wasn’t similar to coffee, it was coffee itself.

The beans the princess showed Minhyuk looked slightly different.

Having been cultivated in this world for 20,000 years since being brought over from Earth, the appearance of coffee beans had changed slightly.

So at this point, I couldn’t help but wonder.

Who on earth brought coffee from Earth to this world?

Perhaps it was another visitor.

But how did they bring coffee to this world in its original form?

It was impossible for Minhyuk.

After all, everything he put in the refrigerator transformed into something else when it was brought over to this world.

“Who brought Donicha to this world?”

“You know what everyone else knows but don’t know what others don’t. A merchant named ‘Doni’ brought it. He runs a grocery store in Matop Square.”

Merchant Doni, I became very curious about him.

I wanted to move to Matop Square right away and visit his store, but

Jingle-jangle-

A clear sound rang out.

It came from the back of the workshop.

The shop owner jumped up and shouted.

“The information decryption is complete.”

It was the sound of the magic tool finishing its work.

Minhyuk entered the workshop with the shop owner.

The shop owner looked into the crystal ball embedded in the magic tool with a serious expression.

Then his expression brightened and he exclaimed.

“I’ve figured out a way to catch the Heavenly Demon!”
