Chapter 166: The Monkey King’s Palace (10)
“Thanks . ”
Yeon-woo nodded his head at the Monkey King’s vestige . He hadn’t really helped him, but it was true that he got this opportunity .
And Yeon-woo was able to learn something after seeing the vestige . That he still had a long way to go . He also became sure that he would be able to reach that point if he continued to train .
“I know you don’t really think that . ”
The Monkey King smirked and waved .
The space shifted and a red portal opened .
“Then that’s enough talking . If you leave through here, you can go back to where you came from . ”
Yeon-woo was about to step inside the portal, but he turned his head back after he remembered something .
“Uh, also . ”
“Didn’t you hear me? The questions you… . . ”
“Wasn’t it only questions about the quest that were limited?”
“Mm? It wasn’t a question about the quest?”
The Monkey King tilted his head . As if asking what he had to ask him .
Yeon-woo moved back from the portal and extended his right arm to him .
“Do you know about this bracelet?”
“Bracelet?”
The Monkey King’s vestige examined Yeon-woo’s bracelet thinking that he would flick him hard if the bracelet wasn’t worth anything .
No, he didn’t know if the word bracelet was appropriate . Perhaps ‘handcuffs’ would be better . The black chains that reached up to Yeon-woo’s arms stood out . They were as blck as the night sky .
The Monkey King looked at the bracelet with an interested expression, but his face hardened after examining it closely .
“You, this?”
“I think it’s made of the same material as the Ruyi Bang . Am I right?”
“Where did you get this?”
Yeon-woo thought about whether he should tell him the truth, but he was the person who asked the question . So he skipped the important parts and said Astrape had taken on this form when he was in the Olympus Treasury .
And the vestige’s face turned strange .
“It’s function?”
“I think it has to do with souls . ”
“It deals with the dead?”
“Yes . ”
“And how powerful is it?”
Yeon-woo lightly waved his hand and summoned the Monster Portents . The shadows stretched out and monstrous creatures stepped out .
The vestige’s eyes were completely narrowed, deep in thought . It was a bit awkward seeing him this serious because he had been so calm .
But Yeon-woo hoped for the secret of the bracelet to be revealed . Because only then would he be able to unlock the remaining options .
“Even Soul Magicians can’t do this . You have to be at least the level of… . . ”
There were countless types of players in the Tower, but of them, it was hard to find someone who skillfully handled souls . That was how clear the line between life and death was, and even if they could handle them, there were limits .
But the vestige understood as soon as he saw the Black King’s Despair . This was an artifact that surpassed logic .
And since it was an artifact that swallowed Astrape . He had heard about the spear from rumors . This bracelet might give the Ruyi Bang a run for its money .
But what pulled his interest the most was what it was made of . Godly Precious Metal . To think that the rare metal to make the Ruyi Bang would be used here . And it was completely made of the metal .
“First, it’s Godly Precious Metal like you said . ”
Yeon-woo nodded his head .

“However, I don’t know what it is no matter how many times I looked at it . There’s some things that remind me of it, but it looked completely different . And it’s level is high . This is definitely a weapon of a god . Definitely . ”
Yeon-woo was disappointed at the fact that he hadn’t been able to discover what it was this time tiehr, but his eyes sparkled at the last part .
A weapon of a god .
He had guessed it was something similar to that when it swallowed Astrape, but now he was sure .
This might be something that could be compared to Aegis, no, it might be more powerful than Aegis .
Then who was the Black King?
“You said there were two more artifacts like this?”
“Yes . ”
“I don’t know who made it, but I’m sure . Neck and feet . There’s additional artifacts . And they’re probably similarly shaped to this . ”
The Monkey King’s vestige crossed his arms .
“Do you wanna know something funny?”
“What is it?”
“It’s known that Godly Precious Metal is so rare that even gods and demons can’t use it, right?”
“Yes . ”
“But did you know it’s the opposite?”
“What do you… . . ?”
“It’s not an artifact that they can’t get enough of, but they’re actually afraid of it . ”
Yeon-woo’s eyes widened at the unexpected sentence .
The Monkey King snickered like Yeon-woo’s expression was funny and continued to speak .

“This metal is the sole tool that can seal gods and demons . ”
“Godly Precious Metal was used to control gods who did bad deeds . Or to ban them . The Ruyi Bang was used to seal off Devil Kings too . ”
Yeon-woo thought of the legend of the Monkey King who had traveled with Tan Sanzang . At the time, the Devil Kings who had been in their way were easily pushed away . And the Journey to the West was what described that .
“The same goes for your tool . ”
The Monkey King’s vestige stroked his chin .
“It looks like something used to bind a criminal . And it turned into the property of the criminal through its vestige because the criminal was bound in it for a long time . I think it’s someone related to death . But that’s all I can know . ”
Yeon-woo nodded his head . This was enough .
He became sure that the Black King was a powerful person that even gods were afraid of, and that he was related to death .
Then his range of research would become smaller . He felt like he would be able to find who it was if he closed the range just a bit more .
Yeon-woo expressed his gratitude again . The Monkey King waved his hand like it was nothing .
“I saw something interesting for the first time in a while . I didn’t know there was someone like my actual body . Ah, and if you meet my actual body, don’t show that . His greed for treasure is extraordinary . ”
“I’ll be careful . ”
And he disappeared into the red portal .
With that, the imaginary world closed .
“Hehe . Interesting guy . ”
The Monkey King’s vestige’s eyes sparkled .
Actually, from when Yeon-woo had entered, he had been peeking into his different appearances .
“Someone who awoke the energy of a dragon . He reminds me of someone . Doesn’t he?”

The vestige raised his head to the sky . The dragon god looked down at him and nodded his head .
Since his old owner had fought like him once as well . He felt a strange deja vu .
He didn’t express it, but the dragon god had actually given Yeon-woo a lot of benefits . From releasing him from his tiredness with the Cintamani stone and letting him relax in the breeze .
The vestige looked at the guy reminiscing about the past and turned around, bitterly smiling .
And something came to his mind .
He had said he didn’t know what the bracelet was, but he actually did . He just didn’t recognize it right away .
That material and form was only used on one person, so it was easy to tell who’s it was .
“That Hermes bastard, I guess he’ll be busy . ”
And while he was muttering mysterious words to himself . The Monkey King’s vestige felt something sharp and twisted his head .
The space was trying to be opened .
Yeon-woo thought it might be Yeon-woo because he left something behind . But realizing that the wavelength was unfamiliar, his face hardened .
The dragon god twisted his body and thrust the Cintamani stone forward . His face settled calmly .
This was the imaginary world of the Monkey King’s vestige . This was like his holy territory .
Even though he was only the shedding, he was still pretty strong . So it was impossible for the greatest gods on the 98th floor to force themselves in .
So the fact that they were easily entering meant one thing .
His actual body was moving, or it was ‘something’ related to him . Since no one would ask for permission to enter their own home .
