Chapter 161.1: Chapter 161.1 - The Monkey King’s Palace (5)
Chapter 161 . 1: The Monkey King’s Palace (5)
Kahn and Victoria whipped their heads towards her as if asking what she was asking . But Rebecca was firm .
[Right now, Kahn is better than me . So you take over . ]
[Understood . ]
Yeon-woo read Rebecca’s consciousness and nodded his head . It was better for him since she said it first .
‘She’s cynical, but an okay person . ’
His judgement of Rebecca changed . It was rare for high rankers to admit their limits . People who did were able to become stronger . It was necessary to save these kinds of people .
From then .
Yeon-woo and Rebecca switched places and he started to officially lead them
Yeon-woo wasn’t hesitant . Every time there was a fork in the road, he headed straight without any pause .
[Hey, you!]
Victoria was about to say something to Yeon-woo .
[Don’t . Trust him . The Header’s decision is obsolete when clearing a dungeon . ]
Rebecca defended Yeon-woo . Kahn didn’t say anything .
Rebecca looked at Yeon-woo with intense consciousness . All of her senses were focused on him . Her judgement was to trust that guy .
And Rebecca’s obsolete trust in Yeon-woo didn’t fail her .
Boom! Booboom!
Everytime the Monkey King’s vestige popped up, he saw it with his consciousness and used Aura to break it .
Like Yeon-woo had known about this dungeon before, he smoothly led them through the cave .
And the path seemed about right . It was an incomparable speed to Rebecca’s .
‘Since they’ll be surprised if we move this fast too . They’ll do something unplanned . ’
Because he wanted to see how the Devil Army would react, so he tried to make them do something . Hoping they would take the bait .
Then Yeon-woo and his party arrived at the end of the maze .
[I think this is it . ]
[Yeah . The signal’s coming from past here . ]
[It’s big . Very . ]
When they arrived at the end of the maze, they were standing in front of an iron door about 30 meters tall .
There were different drawings on the door . They were mysterious letters and images . It was hard to tell what they meant since a lot of time had passed .
But Yeon-woo was different . Since he knew exactly what they were . The last inheritance of the Monkey King . He used his Dragon’s Knowledge to memorize it instantly .
[You have succeeded in learning the complete form of the ‘Monkey King’s inheritance . ’ Additional Karma is being rewarded . ]
[You have earned 3,000 Karma . ]
[You have earned an additional 2,000 Karma . ]
Yeon-woo called it the ‘Heaven King’ and saved it carefully in his brain .
Meanwhile, the other members of the party were focusing their consciousness on the letters on the door .
They were letters that no one understood .
[Victoria is this… . . ?]
Rebecca asked Victoria to interpret it, and Victoria slowly translated the rune letters .
HeavenOrderGodlyPreciousIron
MagicStickSealDoor
[Yeah . This is the Magic Stick . ]
[I didn’t think it actually… . . ]
Rebecca exclaimed in wonder .
The Magic Stick was the weapon that symbolized the Monkey King . It was endlessly long, and the holy power inside it was outstanding . They were surprised to see the god’s tool that they had only heard about .
They were surprised that this iron door itself was the Magic Stick .
When Kahn touched the door, his eyelashes fluttered . Very lightly . His mouth dried up .
[But I think this is only a part of it . Where are the other sections?]
Victoria was trapped in a scholar’s passion for a moment . Rebecca coldly cut off her thoughts .
[Do that stupid research later . Right now, let’s retrieve Kindred’s body . How do you think we open this door?]
[I’ve been looking for a way since earlier . ]
Victoria tried various methods but the rune scattered apart every time . Her smooth forehead crinkled .
[Godly Precious Iron… . . ]
Precious iron of the gods . This was a legendary iron that was able to seal gods and demons . That was how resistant it was, and even Victoria’s rune magic failed .

And they couldn’t try to force it open . Kahn used all his strength, but it didn’t even budge . He wondered how Kindred had managed to get past this door .
Yeon-woo moved past them and stood in front of the door .
His consciousness had already looked over the iron door several times . He tried looking for flaws with his Draconic eyes, but he couldn’t find any .
Complete flawless . Was there really a thing like that in the world?
And there was something on his mind .
[‘Godly Precious Iron… . . ’]
He subconsciously rubbed his Black Bracelet with his left hand .
When he had shown Edora this bracelet, she said that it might be Godly Precious Iron after looking at it with her insight . [TN: Sorry, I forgot what I tled this metal to before, but this metal is described in this chap so I’m changing the term . ]
Back then, he had only considered the idea . But looking at it now, he felt strange .
Then, like it had read Yeon-woo’s thought, it lightly trembled . Yeon-woo put his hand on the door, doubting himself .
And that moment .
The door that seemed like it wouldn’t budge creaked open .
The other members looked at Yeon-woo dumbfoundedly, but Yeon-woo just simply shrugged his shoulders .
And he threw his consciousness inside .
Like it’s name ‘Palace’ it really was fancy .
And as if they were servants greeting their king, on 99 stairs, there were extravagant statues ordered below the top stair .
Each of them were intricately decorated with the face of a monkey .
And along the side, there were large stone column-like figures standing as if they were on guard .
The Monkey King was known to be the king of the yokai monkeys . This seemed to have imitated how he ruled over his domain .
They were only statues, but the party uncertainty paused, as if they could feel the aura of the real things . They couldn’t gather the courage to actually enter it .
And the powers of each of the statues were enough to surpass Kahn and Yeon-woo . They didn’t fall short when compared to Rebecca either .
More than anything .
‘The vestige of the Monkey King suddenly disappeared . ’
They couldn’t see the depressing vestige that tried to swallow them . They felt danger .
[There! Kindred!]

But when Victoria had tried to follow the traces of magic to Kindred .
Rebecca and Kahn’s movements became different .
Kindred’s body was on the center right . And in front of him, there was a large stone monument of about 30 meters .
The small letters engraved on the front of it stopped the two in their tracks .
72 Arts . The power of the Monkey King was here .
[Found it . ]
Then, Kahn took a big step forward with a trembling voice . Unlike Rebecca, who was being wary of the Monkey King’s vestige, Kahn’s attention was only on the stone monument .
[If only I have that Doyle can… . . !]
The moment Kahn moved forward like he was possessed .
[Hahaha! I’ll take the 72 Arts!]
Sol Luna suddenly popped out from the air .
Before Rebecca and Victoria could do anything, she laughed loudly and flew towards the stone monument past the iron door .
Then .
[Who dares to wake the King’s eternal sleep?]
With the sound of a resonant Open Speaking, a black wind suddenly blew and ripped Sol Luna to pieces . She couldn’t even fight back .
Kahn stopped in his tracks after seeing that, but the air inside the hall was already drastically different .
Creak-
The hundreds of statues turned their heads as one .
All gazes were focused that way .
Vestiges emanated from the statues .
A powerful power blew around the hall like a storm .
The dungeon shook up and down .
[A sudden quest has begun . ]
[Sudden Quest / King’s Terracotta Soldiers]
Summary: The Monkey King has succeeded in leaving the 5th mountain after 500 years, and after his penance, he was able to take off his shredding and become a god .

But the yokai monsters that met the god on Mount Huaguo became resentful at having to wait for their king again .
So until the day their king returned, they built an underground palace where his shedding was left behind .
And to prevent the thievery of his shedding, they set up terracotta soldiers to protect it using their vestige .
From now, escape with the shedding of the king safely . Also, prove that you have the qualification to become the successor of the Monkey King .
Participation Qualification: Attainment of hidden quest ‘Monkey King’s Palace . ’
Reward: Qualification of 72 Arts
[The first test is commencing . ]
A message popped up in front of them .
[Shit!]
Kahn realized his mistake . He had been blind for the 72 Arts in this dungeon that could have traps anywhere .
Sol Luna was the one to awake the stone monuments, but he wouldn’t have caused this if not for her .
Kahn quickly pulled back . Fortunately, the fist of the stone monument missed him . As the fist crushed into the ground, pieces of stone flew out .
But that was only the beginning .
The stone monuments, not including the guard statues, all ran towards the entrance .
[Those who dare to bother the King’s eternal sleep must pay with their death!]
A hundred voices all shouted as one . It beat into their eardrums .
Booboom!
The monkeys, despite being made of stone, moved quickly . Their weight left imprints on the ground where they stepped .
