"This… So, the Immortal Project is a scam?"
Vincent was alard after realizing this. After all, there was no way the trap for them would just end here. Once he returned, they would surely realize that he wasn't affected by the trap they set up against him.
"If they were successful, who will control my body then?" Vincent asked.
He can sohow tell that they have a lot of ti to talk, unlike the previous ti he was here.
He made this assumption because the place has beco vivid and no longer dreamy like before. He can even clearly see the small details of the tree that seems to be quite similar to the Tree of Faith. The only difference is that the leaves weren't glowing, unlike the one he had seen in the Silent Creek Dungeon.
"Who will control your body? Hmmm…"
The goddess pondered for a mont before she answered.
"I'm not sure… Perhaps it's the magic god that you've said. I don't even know anyone with that title… It's probably a made-up na and you fell for it. If there is one, it's probably a new title then…"
"You an it could possibly be a new deity like you?" Vincent asked.
However, the goddess coldly looked at him as if she didn't like being compared.
"As I said, I don't know… I can only tell that whatever pulled you into that dinsion doesn't have a good intention. I only managed to save you because you haven't unsealed your eyes yet…"
"Then, can you unseal it now?"
"I can do that… However, I'm sure that you've noticed the benefits it gave you. Do you really want it to be removed now or just let your fate remove it?" The blonde goddess asked as if she knows that Vincent would really want to get the full benefits of the current seal.
"Ugh… Why is it fate this ti? Can't you just tell how I can remove it myself?"
"I can't… However, I know that you can do it without my help. Just be patient. You will get there…"
The goddess replied with encouragent as she stepped closer to Vincent.
The latter was a bit surprised as she tried getting closer so suddenly. It's not like he didn't like it but her sacred aura is a bit suffocating for him… or he wasn't used to it yet.
Vincent then saw her point his finger at his forehead. He was confused at first but he saw her fingertip glow before she tapped his forehead.
"What was that? Is it another seal this ti?" Vincent asked with a frown.
He didn't feel anything from that but he knows that she had done sothing without his permission again.
"It's a little help. Once you returned, the one trying to control your body will most likely be inside you right now… You have to fight against it so I wish you good luck…"
"What? I thought I'm already safe after you pulled here…"
"You're safe right now…"
"Ugh… T-thank you for the blessing you gave just now then… May I know your na, goddess?" Vincent asked.
He already tried asking her na before but he didn't get an answer. He prepared himself to get rejected again but surprisingly, she decided to answer him!
"You probably haven't heard of my na so I didn't bother telling it to you… However, now that you have gotten yourself involved with another deity, you must at least know which side are you… I'm Vera…"
"You're not Asione?"
This was Vincent's reaction… To be honest, he really thought that she was Asione, the goddess of life and death.
After all, there are many clues pointing at this identity…
"I'm not her… However, you can at least say that I'm pretty close to her… Well, enough of this… You can't stay here any longer. If the other deity is stronger than I expected, you'll have a hard ti fighting against it if you're delayed for too long…" Vera said before she waved her hand to send Vincent away.
He didn't even manage to reply as his vision turned black and found himself in his body again…
He's still holding the Immortal Stone but the glass jar was no more…
This ti, he felt a couple of his defensive magic tools reacting… As expected, they were the magic tools that protects him against mind control, hypnotism, or sothing similar.
It seems that while his consciousness was away, his magic tools had actually defended his body!
As expected of 10 Pseudo-Legendary items in his possession, even the goddess did not predict this at all.
He tried to check his own status and confird that there is no abnormal status on his body. No parasite or magic traces can be found… The only concern now is that his Magic Tools were still reacting…
It ans that it is still happening at this very mont.
He closed his eyes again and concentrated on the blessing or whatever gift that goddess gave him… Unfortunately, he still can't find it after a few seconds so he decided to give up and just rely on his own magic tools
'Well… I guess the blessing won't work unless my body was already controlled or sothing…'
He could only think of this since based on what the goddess said, she was thinking that his body was already in the possession of another being and that he would fight against this being once he returned.
That was obviously not the case since he's perfectly fine thanks to his magic tools.
Vincent couldn't help but smile as he fully activated his Magic Tools. They were only working passively a while ago but now that he's conscious, he was able to use his items' active skills to completely remove the force or magic that is trying to ss up his mind…
After a few seconds, he was able to beco completely free from the trap set up for him and the only problem was his items' durability have reached a critical level.
The mory Connection Stone with Mind Clarity skill is now 12 out of 300 durability points.
His other tools had also taken great damage. His Prudence Ring, Sagewood Ring, Furious Ebony Armlet, Clarity Band, and his very important Brilliant Zeal Ring had all taken almost 70 percent damage.
That is a huge amount and Vincent will be in trouble if he was attacked with similar intensity again.
After all, these pieces of equipnt were items that are difficult to repair!
