―Displays the original information of the item.

[Special Item]

Name: Master Key of Flanders

Rank: A

Owner of Flanders Mansion. A memento of the Count of Flanders.

Any door and chest can be opened.

*Cooldown: 2 hours

The key was purified smoothly and regained its original silver color.

Jaehyun smiled with satisfaction as he read through the item window.

“Is this enough?”

“......Ah yes. Great. To be honest, I thought it would take a few days...”

said Hella, a little bewildered.

Jaehyun nodded and put the key back into his inventory.

“The sooner we start, the better, right?”

“yes. It would be better to attack the ruins as quickly as possible. I don’t know when Heimdall will release my restraints.”

“All right. We leave tomorrow. to Iceland.”

* * *

A few days later. On the day of the second ordeal attack.

Jaehyun quickly arrived in Iceland using the Incheon International Portal Center.

Current location is Reykjavik.

It was the capital of Iceland and a famous tourist attraction.

“Can we go this way?”

“yes. There’s no doubt about it, don’t worry.”

Jaehyun and Hella were on their way to the center of Reykjavik, where the great ruins are currently located.

Originally, it was in the vicinity of a famous hot spring, but it was difficult to tell where it was as Jae-hyun, who had built a wall with her travels.

Fortunately, Hella followed along on this journey.

‘No, that may not be fortunately.’

Just thinking about how Hella had driven him into a corner the other day and pretended not to know it made his blood still spurt.

‘after. Let’s be patient.’

Jaehyun shook his head to shake off his thoughts and looked around.

A colorful roof. The softly piled snow took away his gaze.

It was a typical landscape of Reykjavik that I had seen in pamphlets, but it was new. Departing abroad was a rare event even in Jaehyun’s previous life, so it was only natural.

‘It took me a long time to get a passport issued through an international portal......’

It wasn’t difficult to prove my identity.

A student’s cadet’s card at Miles Academy guarantees the highest level of treatment anywhere in the world, and Jaehyun is by far the star at the highest level.

Jaehyun suddenly realized how different his present and past were.

“It is over there.”

Hella said, breaking Jaehyun’s thoughts.

Jaehyun silently moved his gaze in the direction she was pointing.

The center of Reykjavik. The entirety of the great ruins located there was clearly captured in both eyes.

A large number of people gathered around the towering mound.

‘Is it the European Union led by Ballack?’

Jaehyun already knows their identities.

Those who tried to capture the great ruins on a recent TV broadcast, but failed.

As Jaehyun approached the great ruins, one of the members of the coalition blocked the way.

“What is going on?”

‘Fortunately, there is no problem with language communication.’

Jaehyun was relieved to think that the interpreter artifact he had recently purchased was doing its job.

The artifact 《Interpreter’s Necklace》, which was purchased at a whopping 500 million won. It was a small-sized pendant that automatically translated words from other countries.

It is very expensive because it is made of a very expensive stone called a transmission stone, but its value was very high in that it could easily translate words from all countries in the world.

Jaehyun asked without embarrassment.

“I’m going to look around for a while. Would it be okay?”

“It is difficult now. It hasn’t been long since the raid on the ruins failed.”

The sentinel at the Great Ruins said that and quickly started to hit the barricade.

The crowd splits up at once, and the people who were gathered disperse.

Jaehyun thought for a moment.

‘It’s going to be difficult to evade with ‘stealth’ and go inside secretly. There must be an artifact that detects magic around you.’

Pretending to follow the sentry’s words, he stepped back.

‘I’ll have to take advantage of the quiet time to go inside the ruins.’

It was burdensome because there were so many people staring at me during the day.

Jaehyun looked back at Hella and spoke softly.

“We move in earnest in the evening.”

“great. There is nothing good about attracting attention.”

Hella also agreed.

Jaehyun walked moderately and started looking for a hotel to stay for a while.

* * *

Fortunately, it didn’t take long to find a hotel with pretty good facilities nearby.

It is called the Silkan Hotel, but it is said that it receives guests only when there is no attack on the great ruins.

After entering the lobby, Jaehyun rented a decently sized room.

‘I’ll have to look around beforehand. I need to secure an escape route just in case.’

I walk down the aisle thinking about it. Suddenly, Hella’s telepathy was heard.

[Jaehyun-kun.]

[I know.]

After Jaehyun raised his mouth in response, he raised his head to see the man blocking his way.

What is it?

What is this situation now?

Before he could give an answer, the surroundings suddenly brightened.

The scenery is so white that it hurts the eyes. However, this was clearly heterogeneous.

Jaehyun opened his eyes and took a closer look at the space around him.

There was nothing around.

There is only one abandoned rusty iron door that has settled in an empty space.

Jaehyun frowned, but he heard the voice again.

[This...... Open the door. That’s... the only way to the ruins...]

Jaehyun immediately went to the door and put his hand on it.

In the midst of tension that suffocates. His lips hardened as he touched the door.

‘No way...... not moving.’

I pushed lightly, but the door was too firm.

“This is why.”

Hella suddenly interrupted and said.

‘Somehow that’s why Hela said that stats are important.’

Jaehyun raised an eyebrow and opened the inventory.

Because there was an item prepared for a time like this.

―Do you want to use Flanders’ Master Key?

Jaehyun immediately nodded.

“I accept.”

With Jaehyun’s words, the key started pouring out a transparent light, and soon.

Clap!

The door opened, revealing a pitch-black interior.

The entirety of the great ruins that have not been conquered for the past few decades.

“Huh.......”

Jaehyun took a step through the crack in the open door and calmed down his breathing.

He looked ahead and asked calmly.

“Wouldn’t that be easy?”

“Probably you will die with a 90% chance or better.”

Hella’s cool answer. But Jaehyun didn’t hesitate.

Two eyes full of love. Jaehyun finally stepped inside the great ruins.

Awesome profit!

It was none other than the one that came into Jaehyun’s field of vision at the same time as the sound of the door closing.

“Are you the opponent of the prophecy?”

It was a giant with a long beard with a height of well over 3 meters.

* * *

“I am Smir. He is the giant who guards the great ruins here.”

Smir.

The Keeper of the Great Ruins introduced me. he narrowed his eyes.

“Speak. Are you the opponent of the prophecy?”

Jaehyun hesitated for a moment at the pressure of the ensuing voice.

The giant literally stood upright, scattering mana close to coercion.

However, I couldn’t back down from here.

Jaehyun calmly responded.

“Yeah what. People around me called me that.”

“Hmm... the girl next to me is Hell... no, she’s an alter ego with her powers.”

“That’s right. My name is Hella. I took on the role of guide of the five trials and brought the opponents of the prophecy.”

Hella was without delay.

“Smir. I can sense the same energy from you as Hrungnir. Perhaps you...”

“Yes. I am the son of Hrungnir, the great giant who created the Great Ruins, and the current owner of the Great Ruins.”

‘Surprisingly, he’s a communicative guy.’

Jaehyun thought that things might be solved easily because of the unexpectedly favorable response.

‘Maybe he will listen to the situation and adjust the difficulty level of the ordeal?’

The happiness circuit was burning.

It’s nothing else, it’s an urgent situation right now.

If I had any thoughts, I wouldn’t let myself die here.

The moment Jaehyun thought about that and was about to propose, Hella jumped up and said.

“Please prepare for the second trial of the antagonist of the Smir prophecy. A threat now looms over Midgard. An urgent situation.......”

“I will decline.”

Smir’s short answer fell heavily.

Hella looked at Smir and Jaehyun alternately with her eyes wide open.

Jaehyun was equally confused.

“......Why are you refusing?”

Jaehyun narrowed his eyes and asked in an annoyed voice.

It was completely incomprehensible to him.

‘Even if it’s not, it’s a dangerous situation, but you won’t even allow me to go through the ordeal? why?’

Smir came up with an answer to Jaehyun who was worried.

“You are foolish. adversary. Do you think you will be able to pass your father’s ordeal as long as you opened the door through an expedient?”

At those words, Jaehyun and Hella. Both had to remain silent.

Smir already knew that Jaehyun had falsely proved his qualifications through the master key.

Jaehyun looked at Hella with an expression asking him to do something, but Hella also looked at Jaehyun as if he couldn’t help it.

“Adversary. Now you will not be able to pass the second trial. Go back and build up your strength again.”

Jaehyun sighed unconsciously.

I have to fight Heimdall soon. What?

You want to increase your strength?
