I Obtained a Mythic Item

Chapter 137

Episode 137 Q&A between Angel and Devil (1)

“Go inside. Adversary.”

Smir’s words brought a faint smile to Jaehyun’s lips.

Jaehyun asked with a playful face.

“Are you okay? I’ve done the fluke twice that you hate.”

“Coincidence does not happen twice.”

Smir looked down at Jaehyun with a solemn expression.

“It is your skill. Go in.”

“There are no specifications.”

Jaehyun passed by Smir and slowly moved towards the inside of the great ruins.

Hella barely brushed her chest and climbed onto his shoulder.

After a while. When the two of them were walking into pitch black darkness.

Smir suddenly said to the two of them.

“The Great Ruins has three trials of wisdom prepared.”

Jaehyun’s footsteps stopped for a moment.

“Is that so.”

“Aren’t you afraid?”

Smir’s heavy question. Jaehyun didn’t lie.

“I am afraid.”

“......is it.”

“That’s enough,” Smir said in a small voice that only he could hear.

His role now ends here.

All that remained was whether or not that boy could capture this ruin.

Smir watched from afar as the two walked away, then turned his head away.

* * *

“Why are you even doing that?”

As I was walking through the dark to the first stage, Hella spoke to me.

Jaehyun thought about it for a while.

“......well. I’m not sure either.”

Jaehyun’s answer did not satisfy Hella’s curiosity at all.

Looking at Jaehyun’s side profile, she thought for a moment.

‘A moment ago, Smir’s heart was already closed. I thought I would close the gate and lock it so it wouldn’t open again. By the way... what in the world has changed him?’

Smir sat down.

I couldn’t move alone anymore and I was in a situation where I put everything aside.

Protecting the great ruins was only to keep his father’s orders.

However, Jaehyun changed Smir.

‘The antagonist of the prophecy. The weakest human to kill Odin, who has been determined by the oracle.’

All of them were words and sentences referring to representation.

Hella looked at Jaehyun for a moment, then shook her head.

After a while. The two of them walked through the empty hallways and arrived at the first stage of the Trial of Wisdom.

The landscape unfolding in front of them. It was something very unique that they dared not expect.

“That’s... what the heck...?”

A panoramic view through the door. Jaehyun frowned and stepped inside.

Two voices came from the front at the same time.

“Nice to meet you. Adversary of Prophecy. We are angels and demons.”

“......what?”

Jaehyun’s stunned voice came out.

It was strange.

‘Angels and demons?’

It was a somewhat unfamiliar concept to appear in Norse mythology.

However, it was not only this that was strange.

‘The faces of the two beings, their actions, even their magical powers... everything is perfectly in sync. There.’

Jaehyun’s gaze passed the two and looked back a little more.

Two huge doors at the end of it.

Jaehyun’s brow twisted.

‘......What the hell is that?’

* * *

Yeonhwa Guild’s special security meeting room.

Two women are sitting cross-legged and having a conversation.

The first to speak was the guild master of Yeonhwa. It was Yooseong.

“I didn’t know you would come to see me in person. What happened?”

“I’ll get straight to the point.”

Baek Ji-yeon, the curator’s guild master who was sitting across from me, crossed her arms and accepted the words.

“Min Jaehyun. They say he’s your disciple.”

“So what?”

“then. I will wait for your wise judgment.”

After saying goodbye, she left.

Yooseong immediately woke up.

“It has to be stopped somehow.”

* * *

Jaehyun couldn’t hide his confusion.

The two were saying the same thing at exactly the same timing.

As if we were sharing each other’s thoughts.

In the first place, Jaehyun couldn’t even tell who was an angel and who was a devil.

All I could do now was ask the first two beings about it.

“How can I pass the first step?”

When Jaehyun calmly asked, the angel and the devil answered at the same time.

“Then let me explain. first of all. We cannot get help from guides here, so please take this into consideration.”

“......All right.”

It was regrettable that he couldn’t get help from Hella, but he nodded his head for now.

It was more important now to focus on their explanations.

‘The ruins are basically a puzzle-type dungeon structure. I have to concentrate.’

“One of us is an angel and the other a devil.”

“Angels and demons...?”

Jaehyun seemed to think of something, but he listened to them in silence.

“Also, angels must be truthful. The devil always lies.”

The two beings had exactly the same expression.

“Now one of these two doors behind us is the door to heaven. The other is the door to Hell.

If you choose the door to heaven, you can easily pass this first puzzle, and if you choose the door to hell, you will have to fight the living but not living.”

Jaehyun nodded. This was a problem he was aware of.

“You can only ask one question from now on. Find your way to the second trial with just one question.”

Jaehyun thought with a faint smile on his lips.

‘It’s not a difficult problem.’

The riddle of choosing the path to heaven with just one question.

If you choose the path to heaven, you can pass the first stage of this ruin in one go, and if you choose the path to hell, you will have to fight the living but not living.

‘It’s fun.’

Jaehyun didn’t hesitate. He took a step forward and said.

“I will ask you a question.”

“Can’t you wait any longer? There is plenty of time.”

“no. I think it’s a problem that doesn’t need to be deeply thought about.”

Seeing Jaehyun’s stubborn attitude, the two guards at the door also nodded.

they said at the same time.

“great. Who do you want to ask?”

As soon as permission was given, Jaehyun approached the person standing on the left with a sour expression.

he asked.

“Where is the door to where you live?”

At Jaehyun’s question, the faces of the two beings showed an interesting emotion.

Four eyes scanned every nook and cranny of Jaehyun’s body.

After a while. The long-awaited answer fell.

“The door to where I live is the door behind me.”

Jaehyun smiled.

He already knew the answer to this riddle.

A very easy and universally known riddle.

A dialogue between angels and demons.

There are many answers to this riddle, but this one was the simplest.

Where do you live?

An angel who can only answer this question with the truth will tell you the door to heaven, and a devil who only tells lies will tell you the door to heaven.

Jaehyun had seen a problem in an old riddle book.

‘It’s so easy that I lose my pulse for a giant’s puzzle. Well, the things that follow won’t be this easy.’

After a while. The one on the left. That is what the angel said.

“That is correct. Adversary. Then head to the door behind me. Then...”

However, the angel’s words did not follow. His eyes narrowed as he stared at Jaehyun again.

It was because Jaehyun was committing an unknown eccentricity.

“...Adversary? Where are you going now...”

The angel had no choice but to ask, forgetting his text.

The reason was simple.

Jaehyun turned around and stood in front of the gates of hell.

However, Jaehyun’s eccentricity did not stop there.

He smiled and looked at the demon on his right.

“I’m thinking of going that way. Can you move out of the way?”
