Chapter 78: Silent Guild Branch and the Treasure Hunt - Part 2

"S-sorry, I just can't help because I heard a beautiful hum from here so I followed it..." She replied with a nervous tone.

'Did I hum? Ah--come to think of it, I hum if I am thinking something very deep. Did I just do it again subconsciously?' I touched my forehead as I chuckled.

"Sorry, it is just my habit to hum while thinking something..." I scratched the back of my head as I noticed that I am still naked.

I stared at her for a little while and said, "Can you turn around? I will equip back my armors..."

This game can't equip the armors automatically after all. You have to wear it yourself... There is an indicator on how to wear armor so no one doesn't know how to wear one.

"Ah--I'I'm sorry?" I am the one who is embarrassed on her keep saying "Sorry"

I left the pool and immediately wear the bottom armor and clothes first before equipping the top. As the time I am about to wear the [Dragon Armor], I noticed that she is looking at me with her flustered and red face.

'Did she saw it? I don't care, though...' I continued wearing the armor and when I am about to finish, she walked towards me.

"U-um, are you a member of the famous [Silent Guild]?" When I heard her say that, it seems like she saw my sigil on my right shoulder.

"So what?" I asked with a straightforward tone as I stepped forward.

"Are you one of the 100 rulers?" She asked as she followed me walking away from the lake and towards the mountain.

I stopped for a moment as I pondered, 'Even if she is loyal or similar, I still can't trust her at all...'

"Who knows?" I stretched my arms as I started walking again towards the guild.

'I wonder what should I do next... Hmmm, maybe I should make more furniture? No, how about I create food? Hmmm...'

Doing nothing in this world is boring but I like here than the real world.

'I don't have a quest and the only thing here is the main quest. Ah--come to think of it, the [Dryads] requested assistance from me but I didn't ask them any repayment so the quest about [Cerberus] is a pure adventure...'

I sighed in disappointment as I saw the two large moons providing light in the sky alongside the stars that look like twinkling.

Talking about stars, I haven't unlocked another constellation...

'Come to think of it, [Draco] constellation is the greek mythology's dragon... He represents Lagon, the one who guards the garden of Hesperides... I think loyalty and fierceness are one of his traits...'

[You unlocked the 48th skill of the [Constellation Dragon's Incarnation], [Draco]!]

'Oh! Then, I should remember all of their habit, traits and feel their side,'

***

[You unlocked the 67th skill of the [Constellation Dragon's Incarnation], [Phoenix]!]

'Haah, finally... I finished every single one... Hell, why are [Aquarius], [Scorpio], and [Libra] are so stubborn? I had a hard time there.

Now, I unlocked all 88 constellations on the [Constellation Dragon's Incarnation]. I smiled widely as I chuckled inwardly but that face soon began to fade because Lizie still hasn't given up following me.

We are already at the base of the mountain and I finally said, "What do you want?"

"U-um, nothing... Eek!" My face became colder and then ice started to form around us which make her surprised.

"Tell me, what do you want," I asked with my coldest voice that can probably intimidate her so much.

[Sage Eyes]

[Sage Eyes] has the second ability to detect truth and lies so it is useful in these cases.

"Ah-I--only... want to join?" I am kind of surprised that despite being intimidated by my god-like intimidation at 1 million worth of stats, she can still answer the thing she wants.

My eyes showed a green aura surrounding her, probably she is telling the truth.

She isn't cowardice like the rankers that I know but she is weak at defenses...

"Why do you want to join?" I asked as I adjusted my height towards hers as I touched her chin, closing my face and gaze at her with cold eyes accompanied by a smirk.

"B-b-because I am a fan of your guild. I am powerful at attacks but my defenses are too weak so my previous guild abandoned me and no party lets me join because I am a problem to them..." She said as she looked away from my face.

It is still green and it sounds like it is really possible based on human nature.

"Let's go," I said as I continued walking up the road towards the peak of the mountain.

"H-huh?" She asked confusingly which I immediately said, "Are you coming or not?"

"Ah--I'm coming!" We reached the park which makes her amused and surprised at how beautiful is this mountain.

She is looking at the [Elemental Fireflies] which brings color into this dark hour.

"Why is this forest so mystical?" She asked as she touched the trees and vines that are on their trunk.

"I own this mountain, or--to be more, precise, this is our guild's mountain. Tomorrow, all of them will come here. They will decide for my sake," she felt nervous immediately as she heard what I said.

My mission is to find members, not recruit them. I will only introduce them to the guild but I won't recruit them. The leader will decide.

"So, you firsts, you can do whatever you want on this mountain, just don't damage the nature..." I sat down on the bench and relaxed them as I continued looking at the countless skills that I received from the first trial of life and death.

'Should I summon all of them and do what they want to do now? No, not now... I will do it once the main quest is near...' I raised my hands and created a fire as I remembered the monsters that I had a pact with.

'Come to think of it, the sea monsters can only be summoned while in the sea... Then, maybe I should summon [Kraken] at the sea later?' I nod as I manipulated the fire in my hands, controlling it by encircling the fire just like a ring of fire, shoot them at high speed, and so forth.

'I should level up the continuous skills here such as [Orichalcum Armor] where my items, equipment, and skin will become as tough as the [Orichalcum].'

***

I finished leveling almost all of my skills and some of them maximized already and their mana consumption and cooldown is kind of normal. But for some skills, the mana consumption is unbelievable. The time inside this game is already in the morning so it is 3 in the morning so it is probably 15:00 in the real world.

[Merging completed]

"Huh?" A notification ringed as I flew over the sky towards the sea to summon all of my sea creatures.

"What is this?" I stared at the skill window and noticed that the [Realm Dragon Tree] is gone and the only thing here is the [Universal Dragon God King] and it is passive.

"Ah!" I exclaimed as I remembered what is happening.

It is from earlier when I absorbed the [Ancient Dragon Cores], all of my dragon tree skills will merge and it is only finished at this moment.

I stared at the skill and saw the description of it.

"A-amazing!" I excitedly said as I read it.

-- --

Universal Dragon God King

Description: Absolute power, control, and authority over the universe. Ability to control every dragon skill and maximize them without effort.

-- --

'With this, I can use every dragon's skills with their maximum potential. I wonder how powerful is my 100% now with my buff skills, equipment attributes, and skill alongside my stats? I don't know myself...' As I imagine how powerful it is, I am thinking of the other divine stones.

With the [Earth Divine Stone], I boosted or doubled my stats. I wonder if the other stones have the same effect but it seems impossible. Even if it is, I will become a mortal god here in this world.

I sighed inwardly as we are getting near the sea.

"Faster, Ashton," I said as I pat Ashton's neck where I am sitting on.

"Yes, master," he replied

politely as he increased his speed more than I expected.

After that, we landed on the ground, and then I walked straight to the shore as I touched the surface of the water.

'I can feel the water's movement... As if we are one.' I stood up as I immediately summoned all water creatures. As far as I know, I have 60 thousand of them.

Every single creature that lives in the sea was summoned and they happily left after I said that they could do whatever they wanted to do.

I also asked them to survey and give me information through telepathy or signals in every single body of water on the continent.

I waved my hands, bidding a temporary farewell to them, and said to Ashton, "I will leave first. Do you want to stay in your capsule or stay here?"

"I will stay here, master." said Ashton as I nod and replied, "Then, see you"
