Chapter 40: Chapter 40

Lord’s Domain

Before the commander lifted down his hand which holding the Voice of God artifact, another report came in.

“C-Commander, W-We arrived in the deepest part,” voiced of a woman rung from the artifact.

“Hey, I said to wait for my command before you guys proceed to the deepest!” The commander said in a loud voice. It was clear from their meeting that all groups must wait for the other group to ready, before proceeding to the deepest part.

“B-But, we didn’t encounter any monsters on the way,” said the woman voice in the artifact.

“What? Not even one?!” The commander asked.

“Y-Yes!” Answered the voice from the artifact.

“This is weird, this is literally turned weird. How come there are few monsters in this place?” The commander whispered anxiously.

“Commander,” Ronny called out.

.....

“Yes?”

“Was it possible that the monsters trick us?” Ronny asked with furrowed brows.

“I don’t know, I feel something was off!” The commander said.

The four men fell into silence.

“C-Commander,” suddenly, the woman’s voice from the artifact rung out again.

“Oh yeah, did the monsters in the deepest part saw you? If that the case, run away, fast!” The commander anxiously gave his order.

“N-No, actually, there are no monsters also in this—area,” replied by the woman voice from the artifact.

“”””What?!”””” The four guys were stunned.

“”””How come there were no monsters even in the deepest part? So where was the Rat Lord go?”””” they have the same thought as of the moment. Before the commander could open his mouth again.

“But,” the woman’s voice followed up.

“But?” The commander had repeated.

“W-We saw a y-young man sitting on a big corpse, w-w-which we s-surmise— the c-corpse of that rat lord, hah!” The voice of a woman from the artifact stammeringly said, and let a sigh escaped from her mouth at the end of her words.

“.....”

“.....”

“.....”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“.....”

The four men were speechless for 3 seconds.

“What are you talking about?!” Ronny hastily asked after regaining his composure. When he heard about a young man, his nephew’s image magically appeared in his mind.

“Eh?, j-just like w-what I just said, w-we saw a young man here!” The woman’s voice said nervously.

“Really?” Ronny asked to confirm if what she had said was true.

“Y-Yeah,” the woman answered.

Suddenly,

“Hey, Miss, what item is that? Is that a walkie-talkie radio?” Another voice could be heard from the artifact. But now, it was the voice of a young man.

“Eh? W-what is Woki-toki? I-if you mean this, it’s an artifact,” the woman replied.

“Ahaha, yeah I mean that I heard someone talking from it, could you let me borrow it for a second?” The voice of a young man said.

“Eh? Uh-erm... sorry this artifact was for the group leader to carry,”

“Ehhh, really?”

“Mhm,” the woman nodded.

“Can’t be helped. I was about to give you this in exchange for letting me borrow that for a second,” the young man said while showing something to the woman.

“Ehhh! What a well-made mirror is that?!” The woman exclaimed. The mirror surface was clearer than any mirror she found. She could even see any tiny details on her face. Not just that, after the young man slide the mirror, it showed a row of different colored make-up with a tiny brush and lipstick. Because of this, the woman’s eyes twinkled in excitement.

“Ahaha, nevermind, it looks like you wouldn’t let me borrow it for a second anyway.”

“Wait!”

“Yes?”

“Perhaps, I-I can let you borrow i-if only for a second,” the woman said shyly.

“Ow, really?”

“Mhm.”

“Haha. You’re not only a beautiful and gorgeous lady, but you’re also a kindhearted woman as well.”

“I-is that so? T-Then, you can call me Big sister Mayu from now on,” she replied bashfully.

“Okay then, Big sister Mayu, here you can have it,” the young man said while giving the mirror with the makeup inside.

“”””Noooo!!! Our Big sister Mayu has been tempted.”””” Shouted by the other soldiers around them.

Ronny and the others were dumbfounded while listening to their conversations. They didn’t know what had happened in that place right now, but they seemed happy and out of danger.

“””””What exactly was happening here?!”””” They thought. But everyone still held doubts about how the rat lord was killed.

After Yeman met the overbearing attack of the Rat Lord with his left dagger, the two of them went into a contest of perseverance and endurance. The two brandishes their weapon in a face to face bout.

Without even taking a single step back.

Whoever lost the initiative would be lost a hundred strikes. They wield their weapons while trying to outfight the enemy at their front. Both of them took damages from each other.

Wounds covered all over their bodies. But Yeman’s wounds healed faster because of the regeneration effect from his cloak. And also, the Elder Priest didn’t stop giving support to him by using its healing skills.

As the Rat Lord health points decreasing its attack and defense went higher and higher. Even Yeman took damages from the Rat Lord’s attacks.

Sparks were flying all over as their weapons met each other.

But he didn’t step back and continued contesting with the strength to his enemy. In the end, the Rat Lord’s health points reach zero while covered by wounds all over its body. And Yeman remained standing.

After he killed the Rat Lord, notification pop-up followed after. He got a new title which is

He became the rat’s lord himself. The effect of the new title was the same with Rat Tamer title but with additional language comprehension to all rat type monsters or animals.

Now he could converse with all the rats.

He also received a gift pack. When he opened it, he got a . It was a dimensional space. Inside it was a different world than the two worlds he lived in.

Because of this, he decided to call all the rats in the area to enter the Lord’s Domain.

He also received a massive amount of exp after killing the Rat Lord. Which enabled him to leap into five levels.

The Rat Lord rolled a circle object that was rainbow in color and as big as a golf ball, which was called Magic Cryst. But the system didn’t give much information about it. So Yeman decided to store it on his storage as of now.

The most Yeman made him surprised was his pet, Elder Priest. It evolved into a more human figure. Its face wasn’t pointed now like the other rat’s. He thought that maybe there was more about it.

After the fight, some soldiers from another group arrived at the place. They were dumbfounded and couldn’t talk for what they have witnessed. They saw a large pit in the middle of the room. And a young man sitting on top of a corpse which they had surmised as the corpse of the rat lord.
