Chamber of the Transcendent: Canales (1)

That night.

Our family finished dinner and had a light drinking session.

They said it was 3-year-old ginseng infused liquor

To be honest, I didnt really know the depth of it.

Since I prefer wine, it just felt like I was eating medicinal herbs.

Ugh Its bitter.

Haha. I thought you were all grown up, but youre still a child when it comes to alcohol.

My father laughed as he refilled my glass.

He seemed very glad to see his son after a long time.

His high spirits from lunch had carried on into the night.

By the way, did you see Mr. Park no, Mr. Kim Ji-sung? As I poured alcohol into my fathers glass, I brought up the story of the departed Park Ji-hwan.

My father nodded.

He came to our field and greeted us. He said hell come again.

I didnt know, but hes actually the father of my friend.

I heard about that too. What a coincidental connection. He was just a guest who came to collaborate on some technical research.

I still had many questions about Park Ji-hwan.

What was the organization he is chasing, what exactly was the seeker, how were his son and daughter doing, why was he acting alone

As he was a figure who held the keys to new information, there were many topics I wanted to discuss with him.

But he was a person who wandered around the world, exploring the truth.

I would need time to meet him again.

I could only promise a future day, whenever that may be.

Jae-hyun. Wheres our Juyeon? Suddenly, my mother next to my father looked around and asked me.

At that question, my expression became one of bewilderment.

Is it already our Juyeon?

Hoho. The term just came out like that? It would be nice to enjoy together, wouldnt it?

She said shell rest in her room. But its been a year since were all together as a family, so she didnt want to disturb us.

Kang Juyeon had gone upstairs to the second floor to give us space.

The guest rooms are usually on the first floor, but there are also rooms on the second floor.

The room Kang Juyeon chose was right next to mine.

Since its a huge manor, the second floor space is wide, and theres quite a distance between the rooms

Even though theyre on the same floor, it seems shell be able to stay without much inconvenience.

How thoughtful of her. Jae-hyun, mom really likes Juyeon.

My mom smiled brightly.

Then my father took a sip of his glass and said, Shes the daughter of such a prestigious clan. The judgment of fire, perhaps.

Pft-

At those words, I almost spat out the infused liquor I was sipping.

How did he know that?

I was so taken aback by the unexpected remark.

I stared at him blankly and asked, Did you look it up?

Ah, dont even mention it. Ever since you became a Holder, your father has become a full-fledged Holder too. He searches the news every day and reads the articles about you three times, you know?

Useless talk. At my moms added words, my father cleared his throat.

The paternal instinct I felt earlier was not false.

He might even know the Holder circle better than I do.

It was clear that he was pretending not to know, even though he knew I had become a famous Holder.

Thats nice.

But I wasnt particularly upset about it.

The parents I met for the first time today

They were all good people.

They had a bright energy, and an exceptional consideration for others.

They took pride in their work, and there was the warm country spirit lingering in the house.

Although they were worried about the arduous journey of their Holder son, they were always proudly cheering him on.

I was grateful for that unwavering support.

It seems that because of the care of these people, I was able to continue my academy life without any major troubles, starting from nothing.

Mom, Dad. Thank you.

Although the words are still unfamiliar to me, even from the previous world and even now

But now, truly, these people are my parents.

Dear, our Jae-hyun has really grown up, hasnt he?

Thats right.

The two of them looked at each other and laughed, clinking their glasses.

I also smiled back at them.

And I quietly raised my glass for a toast.

It was a waning night at the family home.

After relieving the long pent-up feelings with my parents, I returned to my room.

Although it was a room I had never seen before, thanks to the extensive exploration earlier, I wasnt too confused about the layout.

?

And the unexpected guest I encountered in the room.

A familiar face.

She should have been sleeping in a different room

My girlfriend.

Her outfit was even daring.

Wearing a see-through pink negligee, fully revealing her smooth legs.

And in a kneeling posture by the side of the bed, grasping the bedpost.

Displaying an alluring demeanor more than ever before, she lowered her gaze slightly and said, I, I took a bath.

.

It seems the night was not over yet.

The next day.

We were out in my parents field from early morning.

The dungeon that Park Ji-hwan had told us about.

We were there to conquer the <Chamber of the Transcendent>.

To do that, we had to first go to the dungeon that was the entrance to the inner dungeon.

Hmm. Is, is this the place? It seems to match the map.

Uh, yeah.

But as Kang Juyeon and I were about to enter the dungeon, we stammered awkwardly at each other.

The reason was yesterday.

We had first been intimate with each other.

Its a natural progression in a relationship, and I had already spent the night with Kim Chae-eun, so there was no need to be embarrassed

But the reality didnt quite match the theory.

Seeing Juyeons flustered expression, I kept thinking about what happened yesterday.

Her lovely words and actions.

Her soft body and lips.

And

Dammit, Jae-hyun, pull yourself together!!

I shook my head quickly to dispel the memories.

Love is one thing, and work is another.

Hmm. Lets go in.

Okay.

I managed to regain my composure and prepared to enter the dungeon.

Fortunately, Juyeon also quickly returned to her usual self.

[You have entered the dungeon.]

The dungeon weve entered this time is the <Altar of Ash Fire>.

Its a dungeon in the form of a cave.

By the way, this name was given by Park Ji-hwan, and he turned out to be quite good at naming.

Anyway, according to his explanation

This dungeon is a high-level dungeon with fire attribute monsters.

From the B-grade Sizzling Salamanders we experienced in the <Underground Dungeon>, to the A-grade Blazing Imps and Burning Scorpions.

There was even an A-grade HellHound, similar to the one we saw in the <Smuggling Cave> in Japan.

True to the dungeon that holds the Chamber of the Transcendent>, formidable high-level monsters were crawling all over.

The elemental affinity isnt good.

Yeah.

For Kang Juyeon, a fire attribute mage, the elemental affinity is not favorable.

Of course, since I have a universal affinity for almost all attributes, its not a major issue

But thats when were just hunting normally.

The conditions were facing now are clearly disadvantageous.

We have to go to the Chamber of the Transcendent.

Our current goal is not the <Altar of Ash Fire>.

Its the inner dungeon within it, the <Chamber of the Transcendent>.

Im not sure if the conditions will be met, but

If we can enter there, we have to maintain our physical condition at its best.

The trial of the <Chamber of the Transcendent> boasts an extremely high difficulty level.

And thats the reason for the current disadvantage.

While efficiently hunting and maintaining our condition, continuing the hunt in an unfavorable elemental affinity would easily tire us out.

And the solution to that was simpler than I thought.

We just need to pass through without hunting.

How? At Juyeons question, I smiled.

And from my magic bag, I took out a bottle of water and focused my magic into it.

Manifestation, Arrangement, Amplification.

When using magic rune skills, I can cast immediately without an incantation, but using an incantation amplifies the effect.

I concentrated my inner magic into my hands and the water bottle using [Magic Control] and [Florian Spell].

Adding [Magic Amplification] on top.

Instantly, powerful magic flowed towards my hands and the water bottle.

New Wave.

[Elemental Master]s derivative skill, [New Wave].

If theres even a little bit of water, it can summon a massive amount of water and create a gigantic wave.

With the assistance of various runes, the [New Wave] unleashed

A larger wave than ever before, engulfing the interior of the dungeon.

Shuaaaaa-!!

Call of the Contract.

I didnt just watch the spectacle passively.

As the water burst forth, I immediately summoned my second contractor, As.

Woooo-!!

Looking at it makes my jaw drop open, a massive turtle revealed itself.

Its been a very long time since Ive seen this sight.

This was the second summoning after the previous raid.

-I greet the Oath bearer.

Long time no see, As. Can I ask a favor of you right away?

-I am always prepared, Master.

To pass through the dungeon without hunting, we need a means of transportation to bypass the monsters.

Thats where Tyrbon and As came to mind.

But Tyrbon doesnt have any transportation-related runes, so it cant be easily ridden by anyone.

Moon Ga-eun had the [Horseback Riding] rune, which made it possible, but Kang Juyeon did not possess that.

On the other hand, As has the Max level [Transportation Expert] rune.

Just like how he transported Yoo Eun-seol before, he could also carry Juyeon.

So I used [New Wave] to create a massive wave, and forcibly summoned As.

But its still not enough.

However, even so, there was not enough water for As to travel.

We needed more water, a bigger wave

To at least reach the early middle part.

There was only one way to solve this problem.

Use the New Wave skill right now.

-Understood.

Like me, As possesses high-level water attribute magic runes.

Using its [New Wave] to draw out even more water was the solution.

As focused its magic without asking any questions.

A whopping Level 16 [Swirling Tidal Wave].

And the Level 17 [Dragonion Spell] that only the Dragon Tribe can use.

Its elaborate rune setup drove its water magic.

And

Woooo-!!

Shuaa, shuaaaaa-!!

Splash-!!

A wave far exceeding my [New Wave], began to engulf the interior of the dungeon.
