Chapter 114: Legendary Beasts Successor (5)
Translator: HH Editor: HH
Yeon-woo had to bite his lips at the fact that he was late again .
The territory of the Abyss Turtle was also destroyed . A lake that would’ve been big as an ocean was left evaporated, and the empty bottom was revealed .
However, the Abyss Turtle was still alive with its heart and Neidan pulled out .
[A human that has received the blessing of the Phoenix and the Void Dragon? I saw someone similar to you 600 years ago . But I never imagined I would see it again . But what to do . Human . You are a step late . ]
The Abyss Turtle was a humongous turtle . To be precise, he had a body of both a turtle and a snake .
The Abyss Turtle was created by the combination of a mystical beast and a magical beast that had been walking different paths . And so they were one, but they were also two . A turtle head and body, and a long snake’s head that was near the tail .
One signified god, and one signified magic, and that was how they tested their challengers .
The Abyss Turtle had the most mild personality out of the four Legendary beasts, and liked humans, so he gave tests to whoever wanted them . But fitting of a test that was given by two heads, it was extremely difficult, so many were known to die during this test .
The Abyss Turtle blinked slowly, and looked at Yeon-woo with two pairs of eyes .
They also knew what they needed to do like the Void Dragon had done . Even if they had a mild personality, it didn’t mean they wouldn’t get mad at a sudden attack .
No, actually, they might’ve had a deeper anger than the Void Dragon . The snake was a magical beast that used to eat manticores in one bite . To die here was something that couldn’t happen .
[Our blessing . ]
[Will you receive it?]
And the favor of the Abyss Turtle fell .
“I’ll leave it to you . ”
Yeon-woo nodded his head .
[You have received the ‘Blessing of the Abyss Turtle . ’]
[You have achieved an accomplishment not easily achieved . Additional Karma is being rewarded . ]
[You have received 5,000 Karma . ]
[You have received an additional 3,000 Karma . ]
[You have accepted the request of the Abyss Turtle and you must finish the test . ]
[This is a forced condition . You cannot reject it . Once you reject it, you will receive a severe penalty . ]
[Hidden Quest / The Abyss Turtle’s Test]
Summary: The Abyss Turtle is looking at you, who is performing the test of the Phoenix and the Void Dragon, with interest . And they wish to give you a test .
The Abyss Turtle is looking for someone to carry out their revenge rather than do it themselves . Please look for a Mystical Beast worthy of becoming their successor and turn them into a Legendary Beast .
Rewards:
1 . A piece of the Turtle Head’s back
2 . Shedding of the Tail Snake
3 . ???
‘A successor?’
He thought they would ask him to take revenge, like the Void Dragon had . The Abyss Turtle was completely different .
[What would we do after getting that revenge?]
[Forever doesn’t exist anyway . Rather, we were able to live two times a normal life since we were two . ]
[So we have no regrets dying . ]
[Unlike the Phoenix, we weren’t able to leave children behind . ]
Yeon-woo was able to realize then that their eyes were focused on Chirpy .
Warmth . And jealousy .
Even if it was rare, the Phoenix was able to find her pair, but the Abyss Turtle was the combination of two existences and not able to find their pair .
Descendents were also proof that someone had lived . The Abyss Turtle wanted to leave that proof behind .
‘But since they can’t produce children, they are looking for a successor’
An existence to satisfy the Abyss Turtle? Yeon-woo thought it might be even more difficult to carry out than the Void Dragon’s revenge .
[Then . We leave it to you . ]
[We’ll be looking at you from Styx . ]
The Abyss Turtle blinked their big eyes and gradually disappeared .
As the dust blew in the wind, they were divided in two . The turtle section and the snake section . Of these, the turtle section spun around Yeon-woo and was absorbed first .
[The Magic Circuit is opening . ]
[You have received the nickname ‘Substitute of the Abyss Turtle . ’]
[Strength has increased by 10 . ]
[Dexterity has increased by 10 . ]
[Affinity with the water property has increased by 50 . ]
[Affinity with the ice property has increased by 50 . ]
Like with the Void Dragon, his empty Magic Circuit started filling up . But this wasn’t all the Abyss Turtle left him . Now, the dust of the snake section landed on this skin .
[The skill ‘Blue Spirit’s Blessing (Temporary)’ has been created . ]
‘Skill?’
Yeon-woo’s eyes became bigger as he checked his new skill .
[Blue Spirit’s Blessing (Temporary)]
Rank: ???

Proficiency: 0 . 0%
Description: A spirit has been stuck to you by the Abyss Turtle so you are able to focus solely on the test .
With the spirit, the different blessings of the Legendary Beasts will not clash and you will be able to use them all .
***This skill is ‘inherent . ’ Only those that have been acknowledged by the Abyss Turtle can receive this skill, and depending on the proficiency, growth is possible .
‘It’s a passive skill . ’
It was a simple explanation, but Yeon-woo realized the Abyss Turtle had given him something much needed . He could already feel the different energies in his body settling .
The Blessings of the Legendary Beasts were a very strong blessing . Like he had to beware of the compatibilities of the buffs, same went for these blessings .
If such a clash occurred during a battle, it would only lead to his destruction .
This skill was outstanding in preventing that . It was good to use his strength to its full power . Yeon-woo tried to find the Blue Spirit, but he couldn’t feel anything .
It was probably because he wasn’t under their control . Yeon-woo lightly shook his body, and moved to the next location .
The Saber God’s next stop was the Sabertooth Tiger of the West .
After running at full strength, Yeon-woo was able to get there before the Saber God .
However .
[You’re hilarious . You’re telling me to leave? Me? Me, who has been here since the beginning of the Tower?]
Yeon-woo told everything he had seen to the Sabertooth Tiger . The fight between Red Dragon and Cheonghwado . The happenings of the Saber God . The 3 dead Legendary Beasts .
He warned to leave because it would become dangerous here . However, the Sabertooth Tiger snorted . And even made fun of the other Legendary Beasts who were killed by a mere human .
[The Void Dragon and the Abyss Turtle have lost their touch . Stupid fools . Haha! And the Phoenix has left a will to be inherited? She’s crazy!]
And growled, revealing his canine that was as big as his head .
[Go away, human . I’m different from you . I’ll take care of it by myself . ]
“But . ”
[I said go away . ]
A low howl made the atmosphere shake . As if saying he would kill him if he annoyed him any longer .
The Sabertooth Tiger was known to have the most pride . And so to earn his test, you have to put in a lot of effort, and he was upset that Yeon-woo had come here without any plans .
Chirpy tried to convince him, but he refused, saying they had only ended up like that because they were stupid .
And he even said something he shouldn’t .
[Or . Leave the child with me . Legendary Beasts can help each other get stronger . ]
Eventually . Yeon-woo left with a scowl from the Sabertooth Tiger’s territory .
“What are you planning on doing now?”

“I’m not sure . ”
At Edora’s question, Yeon-woo looked at the Sabertooth Tiger’s territory with a crease on his forehead .
“If I may say something out of concern . We’ll never be able to stop the Saber God ourselves . Never . ”
“You don’t have to worry about that . I can differentiate between courage and foolhardiness . ”
Chirpy nodded his head . Now, he didn’t really want to help the Sabertooth Tiger anymore . Reason being, he had called his mother stupid . And as if he was teasing him, he wanted Chirpy to be given to him . It was a situation where not getting angry was weird .
But still .
A small part of his mind wanted to help the Sabertooth Tiger . He only needed to leave for a second . But why was he being so stubborn?
Yeon-woo kind of understood the Tiger .
‘Even if he knows it’s dangerous, his pride won’t let him . ’
He had lived a long time as a Legendary Beast . To leave his territory would be extremely painful for his confidence .
So there was nothing Yeon-woo could do . The Tiger had shut his years . No amount of convincing would work .
And he couldn’t wait here and help fight against the Saber God once he arrived . It wouldn’t be easy to defeat the wall of the Madodan that always followed the Saber God like a shadow .
He needed another method .
“May I tell you my opinion?”
Then, Edora carefully spoke up . Yeon-woo looked at her with an intimidating look .
“Do you have a good idea?”
“First, I think we should leave here . ”
“The reason?”
“Because we no longer have any reason to remain . ”
“Reason to remain?”
Edora furiously nodded her head .
“Yes . Along with the Phoenix, the Void Dragon and the Abyss Dragon left things for you . So we should follow those . But the Sabertooth Tiger is different . ”
Her voice was firm .
“He ignored our warning, and he denied our assistance . So didn’t we do everything we could?”
Yeon-woo nodded, because Edora was completely right .
The only reason they had come here was because of Chirpy’s request, they had no personal relationship with any other Legendary Beast other than the Phoenix .
“So first, we should leave, and plan for the future . I don’t think it’s good to even pass by or meet the Saber God . ”
He would get the Saber God . Even without what happened to the Phoenix, it was something Yeon-woo had to do at some point .
But it wasn’t now .
This needed to be continued carefully . Knowing that, the Void Dragon hadn’t placed a time limit on his revenge .

But Yeon-woo wasn’t able to leave so easily . Even if he left, there was one thing he wanted to confirm . In the end, Yeon-woo made his decision .
“Alright . I think it’s right to follow your decision . ”
Edora nodded her head with a brighter face . To be honest, she had worried about him the moment they chased after the Saber God . To fight with the Saber God meant war against Cheonghwado .
It was totally impossible .
Even if she helped Yeon-woo, she was slightly worried that she could be fighting against the One-horned tribe .
But thankfully, it seemed her argument had worked .
Like his logical and cold personality, Yeon-woo definitely wasn’t foolhardy .
“Yes . So let’s go back and think things through again . We might have a new chance to catch Cheonghwado . ”
But Edora didn’t know . Even though Yeon-woo was logical and cold, he never gave up .
“No . I’ve already made my decision . I can’t be with Cheonghwado anymore . I’ll get my egg back and return right away . ”
Edora’s eyes widened .
“Then… . ?’
“I’ll find my egg and cross over to the Red Dragon . ”
“If I can’t do it by myself, I’ll use someone else’s strength to do it . ”
Under the mask, Yeon-woo’s eyes sunk . As if they had collected the Void from the Void Dragon .
Black .
‘If I could lead Red Dragon and Cheonghwado to their end . ’
Plans flashed by Yeon-woo’s head .
But before that .
‘I should get what I can . ’
If all of the Legendary Beast’s powers were collected .
What would happen?
Yeon-woo folded and unfolded his left hand .
Bathory’s Vampiric Sword’s cold teeth clattered together .
