The Dragon Evolve God - 68 Mysterious Throne Hall
‘Having a Slime King as my pet, huh? Hmm, not sure if that’s a good thing or not because I rather have something more cooler like dinosaurs as my pet,’
However, since it’s a tutorial quest, so Prime didn’t dare to skip it because otherwise, he will miss out on a lot of things later if he did.
While Prime is still looking at his game screen, the Slime King on the other hand already ran away because he didn’t want to take the risk fighting a monster like Prime.
“Hahaha! Not sure why that stupid dragon boy suddenly stops moving, but regardlessly, I should take this chance and escape while I can,” laughed the Slime King inwardly.
At the moment, Slime King is running toward a gigantic mushroom that is about 100 feet tall. And upon coming into contact with the giant mushroom, the Slime King was immediately transported to another place.
The place that the Slime King arrived was a giant cave, and unlike the caves that we see on Earth, this cave was square in shape. Well not 100% square in shape, but pretty close, and this cave is also where the Heavenly Light Sword takes place.
“Phew! That was close, I hope that dragon boy doesn’t find me here,” said the Slime King while feeling a little terrified.
After a while, Prime accepted the tutorial quest and of course, he knows that the Slime King already ran away, but he’s not worried because he can always find the Slime King anytime.
“Hahaha! Idiot, you think you can run away from me? Because no matter how far you are, I can still smell your scent,” said Prime.
Sniff! Sniff! Sniff!
“Hehe, found ya!” said Prime with an evil smile.
With that being said, Prime didn’t hesitate and immediately follow the trail of scent in front of him, but after following for a while, he realized the Slime King’s scent suddenly disappeared near the giant mushroom.
“Hmm, what’s going on here?” said Prime with a confused look on his face.
It was at this time, Prime flew down from the sky and landed in front of the giant mushroom that the Slime King entered earlier and touch it curiously.
“Eh? This is weird, I can’t touch this giant mushroom at all?” said Prime as he continues to touch deeper.
After a while, Prime finally get it, “I see, so this is where the Slime King escaped to using this hidden portal,”
Without delay, Prime then walked through it and entered the hidden portal. Then not long after that, he arrived at a giant cave, which is the exact same place where the Slime King was on earlier.
“Square mountain and now square cave, huh? Interesting,”
At the moment, the place where Prime is standing on right now is completely dark, which means there’s no light at all around him. At the same time, below his feet is a stream of freshwater that is about 1 foot deep, and the water seems to be coming from a tunnel toward the right side of him.
“Interesting, I didn’t know there’s even a waterfall exists above this cave,” said Prime in amazed.
Then as he scanned his surroundings, he saw something ahead of him and that is light. However, the light seems to be very weak and if he doesn’t focus hard enough, he won’t even know there’s a light exist over there.
At the same time, the direction where he saw the light coming from, is also where the Slime King went and he knows that because he can smell the Slime King’s scent.
‘Hehe, so that’s where you went huh? Mr. Slime King,” Prime smirked.
Just as Prime was about to get going, suddenly out of nowhere, someone appeared right in front of him.
“Eh? What are you doing here? And what about the others?” said Prime to Cyrena.
“They’re fine and still fighting with the 50 Red Slime Magicians. As of why I’m here, well Aelena told me that you might not know where the Heavenly Light Sword is, so she figured it’s better to send me here to guide you,” said Cyrena.
“I see. Well, I still have some unfinished business with the Slime King, so we will search for the Heavenly Light Sword later if you don’t mind,” said Prime.
“That’s fine and I will just follow you,” said Cyrena as she flew toward Prime’s right shoulder and rest on it.
With that being said, Prime began moving forward while following the scent that is leading him. Eventually, he arrived at the place where he saw the dim light earlier, and this place appeared to be a massive hot spring that is as big as a lake.
It also turns out that, the dim light he saw earlier was actually just a bunch of fire torches hanging around these walls near the hot spring.
“Damn, I never thought a hot spring that is this big could exist here inside this cave,” said Prime as he was astonished by what he’s seeing.
“Ahem, I don’t know if you’re still searching for the Slime King or not, because if you head down below this hot spring, then you will find the Heavenly Light Sword there,” said Cyrena while pointing at the hot spring.
‘Well, it seems like the Slime King also went into this hot spring, so I guess I can kill two birds with one stone then,’ Prime thought to himself.
Initially, Prime wanted to find the Slime King first, but instead, it seems like the Slime King is actually leading him toward where the Heavenly Light Sword is.
With that said, Prime then jumps into the boiling 100 °C hot spring water.
If normal people were to jump into such a hot body of water, then without a doubt, they will die. However, not for Prime or Cyrena because they’re both S-Rank and above, so something like this won’t bother them much.
Following Cyrena’s instructions, Prime continues to dive deeper and deeper until he reaches the bottom, which is about 12500 feet deep.
‘Holy shit! I’ve never seen a hot spring in my life that is this deep before. Damn, this is basically as deep as the ocean floor, crazy,’
Unlike Prime who just dived into the hot spring water without any protection, but Cyrena on the other hand has a halo shield protecting her. So as long as she stays inside the halo shield, then she won’t have any problem breathing because the halo shield prevents water from entering.
It was at this time, Prime began to speak and said, “Hello hello? Can you hear me, Cyrena?”. Unfortunately, because Prime is speaking underwater, so the word coming out from his mouth is not very clear and also sounds very gibberish.
“I don’t quite understand what you’re saying, but there should be a passage toward your right side that will lead you out of this hot spring,” said Cyrena.
“Alright, got it,” said Prime and after that, he turned to his right side and began swimming toward that direction.
After swimming for about 2 Kilometers, he finally stopped and what he found, was a strange golden gate in front of him. The golden gate was huge about 20 feet in height and 15 feet wide, and also the golden gate was emitting bright white lights that look similar to the sunlight.
‘So we’ve finally arrived, huh?’ said Prime as he stared at the golden gate in front of him.
‘Hmm, is this boy even a living being? How in the world can he hold his breath for so long without dying? Wait, don’t tell he’s actually a god?’ Cyrena can’t help but wonder what is Prime’s body made of.
Since Prime is a game character, so not breathing is normal to him. Heck, even not eating or drinking, he could still survive just like how he did it in space at the beginning of the story.
“Ahem, what are you waiting for? You should go in now,” said Cyrena when she saw Prime daydreaming.
“My bad, was just thinking about something else,” said Prime as he opened the big gate with his two hands and entered it.
Surprisingly, when he opened the gate, the water didn’t enter at all, almost as if there’s a barrier preventing the water from coming in, something like Cyrena’s halo shield.
After entering the golden gate, the next thing Prime saw in front of him was a massive throne hall. The throne hall looks very magical and every object around here seems to be very high class, and up high at where the throne seat area is, there’s a very bright sword floating just right above it.
“Is that the Heavenly Light Sword?!” said Prime with a surprised look on his face.
“That’s right, that’s the Heavenly Light Sword that everyone is searching for,” said Cyrena.
‘Damn, whoever hid this Heavenly Light Sword here, is definitely doing a very good job for sure,’
Thinking about how he had to fight all the way to the 51st floor, climbed the SlimePeak Mountain, dived a hot spring that is about 12500 feet deep, and then swam for another 2 Kilometers, that alone made him realized just how hard it is to find the Heavenly Light Sword.
‘No wonder, most adventurers die before they could even reach here,’
