Reincarnated into a Skull
Chp 21: Nightmare Palace
The palace gate opened, the sound of footsteps heard in the hallway.
"In addition this place is very large" Shinji was amazed by the grandeur of this palace.
"... Even though this city is a lawless city, it still starts to always watch every corner of the city carefully" Reply Horus.
"Hmm, the ruler of this place is very cruel to his people but not to those who have become subordinates of him. Having seen the condition of this city, I know if everyone has a different race. therefore the ruler of this place chose to give freedom to the people, by being neutral"
"If he gives preferential treatment to a higher race, a weaker race will demand a retaliation to the treatment of the ruler of this place" Shinji explained.
"It turns out you're smart enough, you're right to take a neutral decision so no race will demand a reply to your highness" Horus said.
"That's a good system I applaud, but, until when was he able to survive this system that he created.this city is a lawless city, no city, no city, no law, no, if those from the outside have the power to conquer this city, it will be the end of the ruler of this place" Shinji smiled.
"The limits of this city are that without law the law of the city would not stand, with the law of those who commit crimes able to be rewarded, even if there is a law they are above the law will try to manipulate every law that is set"
"...."- ".Horus thought of Shinji's words.
"Oh, is that your master's room?" Shinji asked who was looking at a large door with a beautiful luster.
"Yes, we're here!" Horus stood in front of the big door after a moment of silence a voice spoke.
"Come in! I'm waiting for you guys"
A voice came out from inside the door, a beautiful voice but it had the power to make one's mind go crazy.The sound that came out was colored with a pitch-black aura like a death song, a death song, everything that came out of the voice contained only commands.
The big door opened, seeing the glimpse inside Shinji could tell if the place was a hell for monsters. After the door opened completely, what was seen was a pile of corpses in every corner of the room. a seat made of monster bones, a worn-out wall with many spider webs.
"The ruler of this place has unique tastes" Shinji said after seeing the state of the room he saw.
"I'm waiting for you, stranger guests" A woman with spider legs stands before the throne.
"So this is what they call a spider woman, Arachne!"

For the first time Shinji saw a monster with a level 100 status and had a stat of over 1000 Points.
"This is the first time we have met, introduce me to the only ruler of this place, Adjes. an Arachne and also the queen of nightmares" Smiling Adjes.
"Takuya Shinji, you can call me Shinji!" Reply Shinji.
"You have a strange name for a monster, Takuya Shinji is like a human name" Adjes stared fixedly at Shinji.
"Forget it... Now on to the main problem, you must know why I called you to this palace?" Ask Adjes.
"Because I'm making a fuss in your area of power!" Answer Shinji.
"Half right and half wrong.it's true that I called you here because of the commotion you've made but.that's not the main reason I called you, a commotion just won't make you deserve to be in front of me" Adjes.
"...." - ".Shinji remained silent.
"The main reason you're here is your soul! unlike the souls of most monsters you have a strange soul, or rather pure and powerful. almost like a soul belonging to an ancient race"
The familiar thing sounded back, a word that referred to the human soul.
"seriously? is the soul that important?" Shinji thought about how important the soul was to a person.
[For the human soul is nothing more than identity, they fight as the original form of what we want. For example, humans have pure souls, what about monsters? every monster soul was different.a soul born strong would always be strong, if a soul born weak they could only develop that soul to the limit of their output]
[The soul form is always changing following what we believe, the master may not be aware but every soul has its own color.A evil born soul will emit a pitch-black aura, if the soul emits a pure white aura that person will be born as a good person, but still classifying the evil and good humans from the soul will not help, the rest is your own judgment]
[Assessment of whether the person is good or not is based on your point of view, I can't help here]
"... Putting aside the matter of my soul, I want to ask for information from a tall person like you" Shinji said.
"information? what information do you want to know from me until you make an unnecessary fuss" Adjes asked.
"My first question is what place is this?" Ask Shinji.
"As you can see this is area 3 of the Eminance forest, area 3 is formed from infinite space" Adjes replied.
"How many rulers are you in this place?" Shinji asked again.
"Four rulers, they occupy the northern, southern and western parts.I am currently in the eastern region.each region has their own rules like mine. is that all you want to ask me?" Adjes looked at Shinji.
"One more question, how can I go to area 4?"
"...."
Adjes was speechless hearing Shinji's words, the suit so long inaudible Adjes was a little dumbfounded.
"So then, I understand now.if you intend to go to area 4 my answer is impossible.not only is it impossible but it will never be...to enter area 4 you need 4 keys to be able to open the light door to area 4, each key is now held by the rulers"
"Another reason you can't go to area 4 is the guard who is holding back from going to area 4. one of the ancient god Archeos' shards, Archeos, even if four rulers came to help defeat Archeos was impossible" Adjes explained.
"I can help you get the keys of the 4 lords, but defeating Archeos we can't help" A sad look on Adjes's face.
The information to go to area 4 had Shinji got but now it seemed like it was still not enough, the only way for Shinji to get away from area 3 was to defeat the shards of the ancient god Archeos.
