Transcendent Warrior with a Dimensional Shifting Inventory

47**

Kaon was a pair of doors made of metal.

Two doors with round arches at the top faced each other from a distance.

Information about them appeared before Minhyuk’s eyes.

＜Kaon＞

– A legendary magical tool with an unknown creator.

– A pair of interconnected doors.

– One can pass through one door and emerge from the other.

– Can be carried and used anywhere.

Kaon was a magical tool capable of teleportation.

If one of the two doors was placed at the eastern end of the continent and the other at the western end, one could cross the continent in an instant.

‘Is that what it meant?’

The divine steed of the God of Creation didn’t literally mean a horse, but rather a means of transportation.

And crossing the continent in the blink of an eye meant teleportation.

Thud, thud-

Minhyuk approached one of the two arched doors.

Then, a message appeared.

＜You can use a magic bead to charge Kaon’s magic.＞

He took a magic bead out of the refrigerator and brought it to the magic diagram drawn on the door frame.

Poof-

A curtain of light was created beneath the arch.

He turned his head to check the other arch, and a curtain of light had been created there as well.

Minhyuk stepped into the light.

Then, he was able to walk out through the other arch, which was far away.

hahahaha!

He had experienced a teleportation gate, something he had only seen in science fiction movies.

He turned around and stepped into the light again.

Then, he returned to his original location.

Now that the arches were not so far apart, it didn’t have the same dramatic effect.

But this was still an incredible magical tool.

Later, after conquering Melbeck, he could place one in Melbeck and the other in Asdel Fortress, allowing him to teleport between Asdel and Melbeck whenever he wanted.

Minhyuk estimated the size of the door by eye.

It was about 5 meters wide and 2 meters high.

It seemed that 5 or 6 rows of armed soldiers could pass through it.

That meant it could also be used to transport large numbers of troops and supplies.

Swish-

The curtain of light on the arch disappeared.

＜Kaon has depleted all its magic.＞

A single can of luncheon meat was not enough to keep Kaon open for long.

“That’s fascinating. Shall we give it another go?”

Minhyuk retrieved another magic bead and brought it to the doorframe, when suddenly,

“Commander!”

Someone called out to Minhyuk as they approached.

He turned his head to see General Drake.

Professor Raymon was behind the general.

They had all entered the temple together earlier, but Minhyuk’s movement speed was so fast that they had gotten separated.

They had already confirmed the death of King Melbeck on their way here.

They had come this far, assuming that Minhyuk would have gone deeper inside to search for Kaon.

Oh!

Professor Raymon exclaimed in admiration at the sight of Kaon.

He examined the magic diagram and ancient letters engraved on the doorframe as he moved between the two archways.

Then he exclaimed,

“Kaon is a magical tool that can instantly transport you to distant locations!”

Minhyuk nodded with a grin.

Professor Raymon was a bit of a loose cannon, but he was certainly skilled in his field.

.

Minhyuk ordered the soldiers to take Kaon out of the temple.

It was heavy due to its steel structure, but it wasn’t too difficult to move when several people worked together.

And although it was wide, it was thin and not very tall, so it could pass through the temple’s passageway.

However, it couldn’t fit in the refrigerator.

The refrigerator was still too small to hold either Teidon’s heart or Kaon.

If only the refrigerator could be as large as a refrigerated container, then everything could fit inside.

If Teidon’s heart turned into something easy to obtain in large quantities when put in the refrigerator, then not only Astel’s altar but also the altars of other citadels could be restored.

As for Kaon, multiple pairs could be created to install instant teleportation gates all over the continent of Rania.

‘That day will come soon.’

There was no need to be impatient because it couldn’t happen right away.

While traveling across the continent of Rania with the goal of getting his hands on all twelve citadels, a clue to upgrade the refrigerator would surely pop up.

4,000 Astel soldiers were stationed at the entrance of the temple.

Tarman was there too.

General Drake approached him with something in his hands.

“It’s King Melbeck’s head.”

Ptui!

Tarman spat on the king’s face.

“A parricide who killed his own father to ascend to the throne sooner! You’re the reason Melbeck is ruined!”

With the king dead, all that remained was to accept the surrender of Melbeck’s generals and absorb their entire army.

Minhyuk spoke to Tarman.

“I’d like to leave that task to you.”

Tarman was once the great general of Melbeck.

That’s why he knows the barracks there better than anyone else.

He was also a man of outstanding military prowess.

Minhyuk intended to lead Melbeck’s army with Tarman, just as he had led Asdel’s army with General Drake.

Drake on the left, Tarman on the right.

They would act as a two-wheeled carriage to help Minhyuk achieve his cause of unification.

In addition, Tarman’s daughter and elderly mother were in Tamrin Fortress.

In reality, he was protecting them, but from another perspective, they were hostages for Minhyuk.

Tarman could never act rashly.

He knelt before Minhyuk and exclaimed.

“I will follow the commander’s orders!”

***

Tarman arrived at the valley where Melbeck’s large army was stationed.

He was followed by a dozen or so special forces.

“Who goes there?”

Melbeck soldiers suddenly appeared and pointed their spears at the outsiders.

Tarman spoke to them.

“Don’t you recognize my face?”

“G, General!”

The low-ranking soldiers were at a loss as to what to do.

“Go and tell General Ronan. Tarman has come as an emissary from Asdel.”

Ronan was the current great general of Melbeck.

When Tarman was the great general, Ronan was lower in rank but had served in the military much longer.

One of the Melbeck soldiers ran off to report, and a while later, an aide sent by General Ronan arrived.

“General Ronan awaits you! And please hand over your weapons to me.”

“You think I would come as an emissary carrying weapons?”

Tarman and the special forces were wearing only armor and were not carrying any weapons.

“Follow me.”

They followed Ronan’s aide to the commander’s barracks.

Inside the barracks were dozens of generals, including the great general Ronan.

As Tarman entered, Ronan sprang from his chair and shouted.

“Tarman! You came as an emissary from Asdel? Are you really taking the path of a traitor?”

“General Ronan, look at this first.”

Tarman showed everyone the head of the Melbeck king, which he had wrapped in cloth.

Gasp-

Ronan and the generals were shocked.

They knew that the Melbeck king had left the base with only a few troops.

They didn’t know why he had gone out, though.

But now, his head had returned without his body.

“D, did you kill the king?”

“This wretch is not a king but a traitor and parricide who murdered the previous king!”

Tarman related everything he had seen and heard in the palace’s secret chamber to everyone.

In truth, they too had found the previous king’s death suspicious.

However, Tarman was the only one who had investigated it thoroughly.

Ronan sighed.

“Melbeck has fallen!”

The first thing the current king did upon ascending to the throne was to eliminate all potential political rivals.

He relentlessly pursued not only his brothers and cousins but even his distant relatives, killing or crippling them all.

Furthermore, the current king had no children.

Thus, the royal line had been completely severed.

Tarman exclaimed to everyone,

“Melbeck did not fall because of his death. The moment he murdered the previous king, Melbeck was already doomed!”

Ronan asked Tarman,

“What should we do now?”

“Surrender to Asdel and hand over the military’s swords! Then, your comfortable retirement will be guaranteed.”

“What if we refuse?”

“You will burn to death in this valley.”

With those words, Ronan and the generals realized that Asdel had already prepared the gunpowder.

They knew that if they were to face the gunpowder now, they would hardly avoid annihilation.

Hmm—

Ronan pondered.

Should he hand over the military’s swords or not?

“Will our safety truly be guaranteed? How can we trust that?”

“Asdel’s commander has solemnly promised it.”

“So how can we trust his words?”

Just then,

One of Asdel’s special forces spoke up.

“Should we perhaps write a contract?”

Ronan asked him with a bewildered expression,

“Who are you to interfere?”

“I am the commander of Asdel.”

When Minhyuk took off his helmet, his fiery red hair was revealed.

Ronan asked Tarman in surprise,

“Is it true? Is he, no, is that man the commander of Asdel?”

“That’s right.”

At that moment, a completely different thought from before crossed Ronan’s mind.

‘He dared to come here?’

The enemy commander had entered his own military camp.

From Noble mtl dot com

With only a dozen or so soldiers.

Moreover, they were unarmed.

If I kill the enemy commander now, the enemy army will fall into chaos.

I may be able to seize that gap and lead the large army out of the canyon safely.

If I succeed, I can return to Melbeck as is and take the empty throne for myself.

‘Melbeck will not perish. Only its master will change!’

Ronan imagined himself sitting on the throne.

And he immediately ordered the generals.

“Listen up! Kill all those traitors Tarman and Asdel!”

Melbeck’s generals drew their swords and surrounded Minhyuk’s group.

However, not all generals followed Ronan’s orders.

Some generals stood on Asdel’s side and said to Tarman.

“We are ashamed that we could not follow the general earlier!”

They felt sorry for Tarman, who had struggled to uncover the truth surrounding the death of the previous king.

“We will follow the general, if only for the last time!”

They were ready to give up their lives to wash away their shame.

‘That’s pretty much taken care of.’

The reason Minhyuk had come all the way here was to decide which of Melbeck’s generals to employ and which to kill.

Ronan shouted at the generals with great momentum.

“They’re unarmed! Kill them in one breath!”

However, Melbeck’s generals could not attack Asdel’s special forces.

As Ronan said, they were unarmed opponents.

But why?

It felt as if they were facing fierce beasts.

If they rushed in recklessly, they felt like they would have their throats bitten off right away.

“What are you doing! Hurry up and kill them!”

At Ronan’s urging, some generals raised their swords and rushed at the special forces.

BAM-

BAM BAM-

However, they were immediately struck by the metal plates attached to the special forces’ gauntlets, their faces caved in as they died.

At this, Melbeck’s generals were terrified and stepped back.

“Inventory.”

BAM-

Minhyuk took out the Star Swords from the refrigerator and distributed them to the special forces.

Ronan was shocked when he saw the scene.

‘This is crazy!’

Soon, a massacre took place inside the barracks.

The special forces, armed with Star Swords, began to cut the throats of Melbeck’s generals without mercy.

SLASH-

SWISH SLASH-

It was really just a moment.

All the generals on Ronan’s side had their throats slit and collapsed.

The interior of the barracks had transformed into an ocean of blood.

Shudder-

Ronan trembled like an aspen tree, covered in the blood of his subordinates.

Minhyuk approached him.

Then, he prostrated himself and begged for mercy.

“Spare me! I will serve you as my master for eternity!”

“Too late.”

Thud-

Minhyuk plunged a dagger into Ronan’s forehead.
