Chapter 173 Entering The Threat Prison
Barretto Beach.
Nathan parked his car inside the resort that they went to last time.
Stepping out of the car, Nathan was welcomed by the salty breeze of the seaside air.
"Hmm, haa~ For some reason, just smelling the sea already makes me feel like I\'m going on a vacation." Nathan chuckled.
Without wasting time, Nathan walked towards a man riding a boat nearby and politely asked him to help him cross the waters.
The man agreed without hesitation.
He beckoned at Nathan,
"Step inside."
Nathan smiled gratefully as he got inside the boat.
The boatman was quite a cheery old man and chatted with Nathan while he maneuvers the boat.
A few minutes later.
They arrived at Unano Island without any hassle.
"We\'re here, sir." Said the boatman,
He carefully stopped the boat on the shore.
Nathan jumped off the boat and looked around the island.
There\'s nothing that changed on the island, it\'s still as empty as it previously was.
Turning his head back at the boatman, he said, "Thank you for helping me. Here\'s the payment."
"No, no," the old boatman refused as he waved his old and wrinkly hands,
"I don\'t need any payment. I only helped you because I wanted to since you looked so much like my son."
As he was speaking, a bright smile covered his face, as if showing that he was genuinely happy.
Nathan paused and stared at the old boatman for a second.
He was surprised as he did not expect to hear such words from the old man.
Looking at the clothes of the old man that is already so old, tattered, and is full of patches, it is obvious that he is not rich.
But even so, he was able to refuse money just because earning it was not his intention from the beginning!
Nathan can\'t help but feel like the old man in front of him is such a kind and upright man.
Taking a deep breath, Nathan forced the 1 thousand pesos into the old man\'s hand and said, "Sir, please don\'t refuse."
"If you don\'t accept this, I might feel guilty and suffer for the rest of my life." He jokingly added.
Hearing his words, the old man suddenly started laughing heartily, "Haha, then if that\'s the case, I have no other choice but to accept this!"
Shaking his head helplessly, the old man accepted the money and placed it in his pocket.
Seeing the old man accept the money, Nathan nodded in satisfaction.
Finally, after saying goodbye to the old man, Nathan left for the ruins.
Staring at Nathan\'s back, the old man sighed with unknown thoughts in his head.
Shaking his head, he laid down on his boat and closed his eyes, having no plan to leave.
….
Nathan did not know about any of those and just continued moving with a goal in mind.
At this time, Nathan has already arrived at the big stone with the name of the prison written on it.
Since he was alone this time, Nathan was able to move much faster and without worry.
Without stopping, he continued walking and soon arrived at the opening where the Guardians of the prisons are.
"Hoo~ I\'m finally back here." He muttered while staring inside.
Nathan did not immediately step inside but remained near the entrance while thinking of some things.
"Hmmm, last time, those trees did not show any signs of moving when we entered. I wonder if there\'s something that caused it to activate…"
Looking around, Nathan did not see anything other than the throne and bones at the very center of the room.
"The only unusual thing inside this room is that…"
Shaking his head, Nathan said, "Haa~ forget it, it\'s no use thinking about it. I\'ll just go straight in and see for myself."
He looked at himself for a second before he finally started moving forward.
Unlike before, where it took a few minutes before the Guardian Treants reacted at the presence of intruders.
This time, the moment Nathan stepped foot in the room, those six huge Guardian Treants immediately started to move.
""GROOOWL!!""
They looked at Nathan at the same time with those creepy looking hollow eyes of theirs.
In contrast, Nathan just stood there near the entrance, watching all of this with an nonchalant look on his face.
On his hand, Nathan is holding a black sword that seems to be letting out some sort of eerie cry full of resentment and suffering.
It was the Blade of Imprisoned Souls.
[Blade of Imprisoned Soul]
[Rating: Epic]
[Details: The blade used by an ancient reaper to punish those souls that have sinned too much and don\'t have the right to jump into the reincarnation cycle.]
[Properties: Physique +10, Spirit +10]
[Skills: Soul Harvest (A), Soul Imprisonment (A), Soul Burn (A)]
…
The first time that Nathan saw this result from appraisal, he almost lost control of himself from the excitement that he felt.
Take note that every increase in physique or spirit would double the power one previously had.
For Nathan, who already has 25 on both physique and spirit, the properties of the [Blade of Imprisoned Souls] is almost like a huge cheat!
By equipping it, Nathan\'s attributes will increase to level 35!
With that kind of power, he can destroy anyone who hasn\'t taken a [Spark] yet without any problem!
That is also Nathan\'s capital to come back here in the Prison knowing that there\'s 6 Guardian Treants at the peak of mortal level.
Smilingly, Nathan looked at the blade and said, "Completing that murderer mission really brought me a lot of benefits."
But when he remembered about the demon that suddenly showed its presence to him that time, Nathan can\'t help but have some complicated feelings about it.
Sighing, Nathan shook his head, "Forget it, it\'s no use thinking of it now. The only thing I can do is strengthen myself to the best that I can and prepare for what might come."
Throwing all those thoughts out of his head, Nathan turned his attention back to what\'s in front of him.
"Now then, it\'s time to make some firewood."
