Chapter 1355 Underworld Gate Key
—–
Once we were done, and because we were making a lot of ruckus, we decided to move back to Ambil’s home, which had pretty much become our headquarters. The house wasn’t big enough for our entire squadron to fit in, but we moved quickly to the underground area, and then decided to give a visit to the Cloudia Fragment Realm while we were at it, which is enough of a nice place to stay.
Little Titania was happy to receive us, inviting us inside the moment we showed up. Her large castle made of wood was inside of the tree of Yggdrasil itself, and her “siblings” the other Divine Beast Guardians were also there, adorable and cute in their baby forms.
To think all of them have now become Time Spirits is interesting, does that means I could even summon the baby forms of the guardians as Time Spirits? I wonder what abilities they got… I had summoned Little Titania yesterday in Earth and it worked just fine.
“Hello everyone! Welcome back!” she said happily. “I’m glad you’ve visited me again! Please have some tea and fruit!”
She happily brought us tea and a lot of fruits, allowing us to relax in here, where nobody would come to annoy us.
“It was really entertaining when you summoned me yesterday, auntie Planta!” she said. “We killed a lot of evil ants!”
“Huh? You summoned her yesterday?” wondered Angelina.
“Yeah she summoned me in the…” Titania was about to talk, but I stopped her.
“Yeah, yeah, yesterday!” I nodded. “She helped us hunt some monsters… attacking the forest. Anyway, let’s combine the fragments and decide what to do with the hearts…”
We placed the items above a wooden table, as Titania glanced from a distance, feeling the auras of these items, they reeked of death and nether, so she obviously felt they were intimidating.
“Um, what are those items?” she wondered, her voice was trembling. “T-They’re so scary looking! They’re bad news… I just know it!”
“C-Calm down a bit,” I said. “It’s alright, they’re below our control. They’re items we’ll need to use to confront a Demon King.”
“Oh wow… But how?” she was very curious because she was a child.
“Like this, let me show you,” I said. “Combine Items.”
With a simple command, the items were combined together.
Each fragment of the hearts came together into a heart-shaped object, rapidly overflowing with a nether power.
FLAAASH!
Ding!

Each of these were hearts made out of a black stone-like material, and at the center there were blue crystals overflowing with phantasmal flames.
They floated around and responded to my will moving around, Titania cried in surprise as she felt their deathly presence.
“Such powerful items full of death!” she cried. “A-Are they okay to use?! Won’t you die?”
“It’s alright…” I said. “I guess we can decide who’ll use them later, I will save them. Is everyone okay with that?”

“Yeah go ahead,” nodded Mark.
“Sure,” my daughter agreed.
“It’s alright,” Angelina nodded. “I am sure everyone else agrees.”
Her party was fine with it too, and also everyone else of my friends.
“Then we’ll save them,” I nodded, putting them inside my inventory. “As for this…”
FLUOSH!
All four key fragments converged, forming a huge black key, it was longer and bigger than I imagined, almost as big as a sword…
Was this really a key and not a weapon?
Ding!

[Underworld Gate Key (SSS Grade)]
A Special Item that leads to the Underworld. A Special Key that can be used to open the Gates of the Underworld, allowing you and your Party to explore the completely new Map of the “Underworld” a Realm the same size as Arcadia with its own zones, cultures, NPC, Monsters, and Quests to find, and also the Realm where the Demon King of Death reigns supreme.
This Item can be used up to 4 Times before it disappears, the Gate remains Open for 1 Hour before it closes again. Those that can enter through the Portal can only be allowed by the Key Holder and have no limit, and once the Key is obtained by someone, it cannot be stolen or taken away, and it is an indestructible item.
While being inside of the Underworld, all non-Undead and non-Demonic type Players, NPC, and other beings will be weakened due to the Nether in the environment, and their Health Points will gradually decrease. Domains, Terrains, and Auras that are not of Death or Demon-type will be rapidly eaten away by the Nether in the environment as well.

“Huh, so this gives us a lot of insight about what’s in the Underworld,” I said, showing the key’s description to everyone.
“Apparently we’ll be weakened a lot, huh?” Angelina wondered. “I guess Erdrich will be the only one that’ll be fine… And maybe Melisa and Erebus.”
“Yeah, everyone else will be subjected to decreased stats and health being taken away over time…” I said. “Also my own Domains might also begin disintegrating very quickly, so I won’t be able to solve this problem… too quickly. If we use the Heart, we won’t suffer penalties though but the Domain problem remains…”
But what if I use the Qliphoth Staff though? Maybe that power of twisting nature upside down and darken it into decay which I can control might be the solution?
We’ll have to see once we actually go, which will be for later.
