Chapter 372: Master seal.
On normal occasions, Blake wouldn’t waste a second checking gifts or spoils of battles, but because he felt it was wrong taking Pascal’s dinsional ring. He hadn’t checked its contents up till now.
“Nothing special about the dinsional ring’s quality.” Blake said as he inspected the silver ring that had tens of arrays inscribed onto it.
“Let’s see what we have here.”
Blake emptied the dinsional array to find gold coins, books, bloody beast cores, and even beast parts.
“What the fuck.” Blake thanked the heavens that he didn’t empty the dinsional ring on his bed.
“Why would soone let his dinsional space be so ssy. Even I am not this ssy.” Blake complained as the blood from the beast cores and beast parts were spreading all over the floor.
He began using the fire elent to vaporize the blood while the humidifier air freshener eliminated the stench.
.....
[The reason only reason I can think of is that he was in a hurry to not get caught.] The system said after analyzing the items in front of Blake.
“Are you saying he was stealing beast corpses from the battlefield?” Blake already knew the answer to his question but he just wanted a confirmation.
[Yes.] The system replied.
The empire had an agreent with everyone that was defending the wall. They would get the equivalent of every beast they killed in form of points, but they were not ant to take the corpses.
Doing this was stealing from the empire, but the problem was that they didn’t have people to keep an eye on the battlefield.
With the battlefield being so chaotic, it was only the powerhouses that could afford to keep an eye on the battlefield without fear of losing their lives.
“That explains why he ca up. He used the appearance of the ramps as an opportunity to move around the battlefield and steal corpses in the na of helping those at the top.” Blake said as he thought back to the beast tide.
[Do you still feel bad about taking it from him?] The system asked now that it was more than clear that Pascal was bad.
“I feel less bad, but 2 wrongs don’t make a right.” Blake said.
Blake began sorting and cleaning every item one at a ti with a bucket of water and detergent.
“Too bad I can’t sell these.” Blake let out a helpless sigh as he burnt all the books covered in blood.
Apart from most of the books being related to the water elent, the blood stains on the pages would definitely raise suspicions. So the best course of action was to get rid of them.
“What do we have here?”
When Blake got to half of the pile, he saw a black leather heel knot, and on pulling it out, he saw the Master seal.
“Are my eyes playing tricks?” Blake was so utterly shocked that he had to ask the system for confirmation.
“How did the Master seal get into his hands?!” The beast tar artifact was the last thing he would have ever expected to be in Pascal’s dinsional ring.
[He stole it?] The system said.
“How is that even possible?”
Although normal adventurers were not invited to the adventurer association auction, everyone knew about the Master seal and the bidding war that had happened before the Karius family obtained it.
So Blake couldn’t even phantom how a nobody like Pascal would be able to steal from the Karius family.
“Should I return it?” Blake asked the system for advice.
[Are you crazy?! Nobles are not good people. So they would most likely want to put the bla on you.] The system scread at Blake.
“If they end up finding it on , then I wouldn’t have any chance of saving myself at all.” Blake said.
[Why would soone who had stolen such a high-level artifact co to the wall of all places where powerhouses and mbers of the Karius family are present?]
[The only logical answer is that the Karius family has no idea of who stole the artifact, and since he is dead there have no leads at all.] The system said.
“I guess you are right.” Blake didn’t feel comfortable about it, but there was no better option.
“Let’s take a look at it then.” Blake said as he used the system to appraise the artifact.
[Na: Master seal
Quality: Mid-epic tier
Owner: None
Artifact type: whip
Passive abilities:
Amplification: Master seal amplifies beast tar spells to double its power.
Beast linguist: Master seal grants the user the ability to communicate with beasts as long as it is in possession.
Master’s will: A passive AOE spell that suppressed every beast below the knight rank causing them to be docile.
Active abilities:
Abating whip: Master seal forms an energy whip that drains the vitality of anything with every hit, but has double effects on beasts.
Binding chains: Master seal produces energy chains that would wrap the beast and drain its vitality.
Beast contractor: The user is granted the power to form contracts with beasts. It could be by convincing the beast or forcefully taking control of it.
Note: The level of the user should be at least the sa as the beast, and the chances of it working would increase the weaker the beast becos.
Drawbacks:
1st drawback: Once the artifact was being used, the user would hear the thoughts of all the beasts within the area.
2nd drawback: Master seal needs to be charged with beast crystals before use. If it isn’t charged before use, it would use both the users’ mana and soul energy to work.
Note: Soul energy recharges just like mana but at a very slow pace. The more one’s soul energy reduces, the less mana capacity, physical strength, ntal strength, and spell power one would have.
3rd drawback: Master seal was that after the artifact has been used, the user would begin exhibiting the characteristics of the last beast he had contracted for 24 hrs.]
“Wow!” Blake was stunned by Master seal’s abilities.
