Omega Summoner

Chapter 2059: Some Gifts are Burdens

Adrian and Urashima Taro arrived at the king’s audience room, and it was quite simple yet regal. The colors of green, red, and blue made the room majestic despite its simple design. King Kame Yashashi sat at the throne to show that he is still king, and his gesture od seating made the room a bit tense. Adrian did not care much about this and immediately started asking the necessary questions.

“How do we extract the Cintamani from his body?” Adrian directly asked which made the princess incredibly shocked.

“Father! No!” The Dragon Turtle Princess stated as she knew what she had done by giving Urashima Taro the Cintamani.

“I always thought that you were a bit foolish my daughter but to think that you really gave the mortal your Cintamani. You even gave him the wish of eternal life which bends the laws of life and death. No wonder the Mediator of Death is at our palace. You have broken the rules in using the Cintamani.” King Kame Yashashi stated as he looked incredibly angry, but he made sure to bottle it down to not show an unsightly display.

“I do not really care if he she bent the laws of life and death as a lot of beings do so. Still, the being in question wants to be granted peace. I wish that you grant him the rest that his soul deserves as… I think that is all that I will say.” Adrian stated as he looked at Urashima Taro. Adrian did not continue what he wanted to say because it might make Urashima Taro panic. The soul of a mortal should never endure eternal youth. If Urashima Taro was some incredibly powerful individual that reached the realm of a demigod, then that might be another thing, but he is still mortal. The soul of a mortal could only endure at least a hundred years which would have aged their body as well.

The fact that Urashima Taro’s body remained young, but his mortal soul became old meant that he might actually turn to dust. Adrian actually thought that it was incredible that Urashima Taro’s soul lasted for centuries as that should never have happened. The Cintamani might have used a lot of divine and natural power in order to make sure that Urashima Taro’s soul will not break.

“Is there something wrong with me?” Urashima Taro suddenly asked Adrian as he heard the latter’s last sentence.

“There is nothing wrong with you per se. There is something wrong with the thing that is keeping your soul anchored in the mortal realm. You can say that your soul is also weary just like you as the true state of the soul will always reflect unto the body itself. There is a reason why there are things that are said to heal the soul which in turn makes people happy.” Adrian explained in words that he could be understood.

“As much as I would like to yank out the Cintamani out from that boy’s body, only the true owner can get it out of him. If I do it forcibly then that boy might turn to dust which is why the Mediator is also not using extreme force as well.” King Kame Yashashi stated which made Urashima Taro look at Adrian because the former told the information that the latter did not want to say.

“You mean you could have gotten it out of me this whole time?!” Urashima Taro asked in shock.

“I could but that also mean turning you to dust.” Adrian stated.

“I wanted to die anyway so why did you not do it. I can endure the pain of getting something pulled out of me.” Urashima Taro stated with great desperation.

“I think you are equating turning to dust to dying.” Adrian stated with an expression that looked a bit dark and serious.

“Is there a difference?” Urashima Taro asked.

“If there was no difference then why do you think that I did not do it? You are talking to the Mediator of Death who the gods of death need to follow. Turning to dust does not mean that you will die but total erasure. You will not be sent to the underworld or afterlife because you shall be gone. Forgotten by the world and no longer able to reunite with the deceased in the afterlife.” Adrian stated in a serious tone which made Urashima Taro fall down the floor.

“This is all your fault.” Urashima Taro stated as he looked towards the Dragon Turtle Princess.

“You dare!” King Kame Yashashi stated but Adrian glared at him which made him stand back down.

“This would end as long as the princess extracts her Cintamani from him.” Adrian stated.

“My daughter… release the mortal from this world.” King Kame Yashashi stated as he looked at Adrian.

“No! He is my savior! He is just confused but he will become happy once we go around the realm again.” The Dragon Turtle Princess stated as she refused.

“If you really think me as your savior then you should take it out of my body. Your gift to me has become a burden that haunts me to this day.” Urashima Taro stated which shocked the Dragon Turtle Princess.

The shock from the revelation of his savior made the princess faint. The attendants rushed towards the princess to catch her. They were about to carry her away from the audience room when Adrian suddenly walked towards Urashima Taro. He then uttered the words that a very tired man wanted to hear.

“If you wish, I can extract that thing out of your chest. I can summon the strength of the Gods of Death to forcefully remove the thing holding your soul. The only downside is that you will turn to dust as I have stated. You will be forgotten by those that you know as if you were no one.” Adrian stated.

“I do not care anymore as this gift is a burden.” Urashima Taro stated.
