Chapter 2056 Finding the Immortal Taro II

“And that young boy was none other than you.” Adrian stated as he already knew where this story ends.

“You are correct.” Urashima Taro stated as he gave a big sigh and chugged the whole bottle that he has on his hands.

“You absorbed something that made you unable to age?” Adrian asked as he looked at the soul of the person in front of him.

“I did not know what that was, but I felt the power of a dragon turtle when it entered my body. I tried to end my problems by jumping to the sea, but I could not drown. I tried harming myself, but any type of blade would just get destroyed upon hitting my heart or head. Any wound that I get would heal in just under a minute. Even alcohol cannot affect me as it only tastes like flavored water to me.” Urashima Taro stated as he started to have watery eyes.

“Your soul is still completely human but there is something embedded in it that makes you turn into an immortal. A divine bead that could manipulate the very laws of nature itself.” Adrian stated as his eyes looked incredibly deep as he looked at the soul of Urashima Taro.

“You! What are you?!” Urashima Taro asked as the thing inside of him suddenly sensed that Adrian was not a normal human.

“Me? You can call me the Mediator of Death but my name is Equinox. The one that can deliver even the living to the afterlife. So, I am willing to help you because it seems that you wish for peace. Do you wish to die?” Adrian asked as he actually got a quest that is linked to the afterlife.

“You can see it?” Urashima Taro shouted in shock as he could not believe that there is a being that could see the thing inside of him.

“I can see its form, but it is incredibly tied to your soul. Only the being that created it can extract it from your own soul.” Adrian stated as he actually tried using his hands, but he cannot kill Urashima Taro as he will just recover.

Adrian’s hands that can touch souls should never be used on mortal beings as it is incredibly taboo. He can only touch souls when the other party is already dead. He could try and kill Urashima Taro, but the thing is keeping him from truly dying. He can only think that Urashima Taro must have been in utter despair when he could not die when he wants to attain peace.

“Why do you want to die though? A lot of mortals would want to have what you have. Mortals would always cling to life, and they even pursue eternal life even if they would sacrifice people along the way. So, why do you want to get rid of it when you have what they want?” Adrian asked.

“I no longer want to stay in this place forever frozen in time. This village already changed a lot, and I have witnessed all that change. I even fell in love with someone and created a family but even I outlived them. In the end, I just want to gain eternal rest as I am already too tired to keep on living.” Urashima Taro stated with a heart that is filled with melancholy.

“If that is the case then you can lead the way to Hidden Realm of the Dragon Turtles. I will follow and protect you along the way as only they can take out what is given as a gift.” Adrian stated as the other party was given a powerful gift blessed by divine beings. Taking it out forcibly will incur their wrath but it is not like he can take it out anyway.

“I have tried to go back but the princess told me that the thing inside of the box was my way in. I even tried diving in the depths of the ocean, but I cannot return. If I could only take out this thing inside of me then I would have already entered the hidden realm to die.” Urashima Taro stated.

“All you need to do is become my pathfinder and I will do the rest. I only need to know where the hidden realm is located.” Adrian stated.

“That is the thing! I cannot find it even if I try.” Urashima Taro stated.

“You were searching in desperation when the entrance has been closed to you. You will navigate and I will be the key for you to enter the door. Do you trust me?” Adrian stated.

“I wanted to say that I do not trust you, but you have this aura around you that says that you are true to your word. In my long life, I already became tired of trying but what is one last time.” Urashima Taro stated.

“One last time.” Adrian exclaimed and it made Urashima Taro stand up once again.

[You have completed the quest ‘Token of the Dragon Turtle’.]

[Urashima Taro can now sense the entrance of the Hidden Realm of the Dragon Turtles.]

“How are you in divine deep into the ocean?” Urashima Taro asked.

“I can manage. All you need to do is guide me there.” Adrian stated as he summoned Kanlaon in a smaller form which Urashima Taro thought was a snake but felt great power from the latter.

“Follow me. I was escorted to the hidden realm by riding on a turtle back then but the path we took was definitely the depths of the ocean.” Urashima Taro stated.

Urashima Taro and Adrian headed to the shore as the former discussed that there are monsters in the depths of the ocean. Urashima Taro explained that he does not get attacked by the monsters, but Adrian might be swarmed as soon as he dives. Adrian told him not to worry as he can protect himself against other monsters. Seeing that his companion is confident, Urashima taro dove into the ocean.

The ocean was already deep even if they were only ten meters away from the shore. The deep waters made it possible for powerful aquatic monsters to get near the shore. Urashima Taro saw these aquatic monsters, but they all ignored him as if something around him was intimidating them. The monsters did not ignore the other one that dived though as they all charged towards Adrian.

“Kanlaon, make them feel fear.” Adrian commanded while he was inside an air bubble that Kanlaon created for him.

“As you wish, master.” Kanlaon replied and unleashed his Dragon Fear without holding back.

All of the aquatic monsters that thought of them as prey suddenly scattered upon feeling the overwhelming might of Kanlaon’s Dragon Fear. Even Urashima Taro felt it despite not being the target of it and he even thought that this presence held the prestige that could rival the Dragon Turtle King. He can now see that it was not a snake that is around Adrian’s neck but that of a true dragon.

“Please continue on leading the way.” Adrian stated as it seems Urashima Taro cannot easily speak when under water, but he can still hear the former.

Urashima Taro dove deeper and deeper until they were finally at the ocean floor. It was incredibly dark if not for the fluorescent jelly fish monsters that gave light. These jelly fish monsters were not aggressive as they stay floating in place just waiting for smaller fish to get caught in their tentacles. The deep ocean was both beautiful and dangerous as Adrian could see and feel a lot of fierce aquatic monsters.

The aquatic monsters that live further down below were intelligent and did not attack. They seemed to have recognized that Adrian was an acquaintance of the being with the Dragon Turtle King’s blessing. As long as the two of them did not attack or destroy their territories, the intelligent aquatic monsters planned to turn a blind eye. After a few hours, Urashima Taro finally stopped and pointed to an underwater whirlpool.

“I can feel it. It is definitely an entrance to another realm.” Adrian stated as he looked at the whirlpool.
