Chapter 236: Chapter 230: Divine Artifact’s Special Ability
He also saw the Guard of the Portal, the Four-Ard Demon that had left a deep impression on him. It was outside an iron fortress, cursing viciously, for even with its own formidable strength, it dared not forcibly breach a heavily guarded fortress and could only vent its anger on the occasional unfortunate patrol team outside.
Lancelot continued to look downward, below Mogrondale City, where the structure of the Great Abyss beca even more rugged and fragnted. He saw even more mysterious Portals, most of which were unattended. Driven by pure curiosity, Lancelot cast his gaze into the deepest parts of the Great Abyss.
But the Great Abyss seed almost infinitely deep below, as his vision continued to extend downward without ever seeing the true bottom. He realized this was pointless and decided to retract his gaze, planning to exit this strange state.
But just then, Lancelot’s expression suddenly changed, as the Eye of Sarizdon in his hand began to emit a powerful suction force, and his True Yuan was rapidly and uncontrollably flowing into the black Bead.
At this rate of loss, his entire body’s True Yuan would soon be drained, and who knew what would happen after that?
Lancelot not only regretted his carelessness, but using an unknown magical item without identification was an extrely foolish act, a principle Kalalin had repeatedly emphasized to them. However, Lancelot, having just succeeded in his Foundation Establishnt, had been a little too confident in his own strength.
But now was not the ti for regret. Lancelot quickly took out a gemstone of Upper Grade Spirit Stone Tier with his free hand and began to absorb the nature’s spiritual energy contained within to replenish his own depleted True Yuan.
This was a colorful unknown gemstone from Elothysia, the Angel lover’s gift. Previously, during the Foundation Establishnt, they had a few more Upper Grade Spirit Stones than needed, and he had kept this one for its strange colors, but now there was no ti to be choosy.
His unintended choice saved his life. Because of the hasty absorption, he couldn’t completely transform the Spiritual Energy of the gemstone into his own True Yuan, and the Eye of Sarizdon seed to really like the nature’s spiritual energy from the higher planes and swiftly changed its target of suction.
Lancelot felt as though he had beco a conduit of energy, with the Spiritual Energy from the colorful gemstone flowing continuously through him into the Abyssal Artifact, while the flow of his own True Yuan gradually stopped.
Finally, the Eye of Sarizdon seed to have been filled, and the terrible suction ceased. Lancelot hurriedly withdrew his hand, but the Divine Artifact clung to it as if glued, and he lifted it up in one pull.
However, the weight he felt in his hand was strange. Lancelot looked closely, and what stuck to his hand was a clump of pure dark energy, while the Eye of Sarizdon lay quietly in its original place, its black light seemingly dimd a bit.
With a thought, Lancelot absorbed the clump of dark energy into his hand, and it ford a black spot at his wrist, looking like a slightly large black mole. He probed the black spot slightly with his Divine Sense, and the structure of the Great Abyss imdiately reappeared in his eyes, exactly as he had seen before.
For so reason that he did not quite understand, it seed the Artifact had left its Essence within him and had very comfortably made this its new ho.
“What happened?” Kalalin asked with concern. Everyone had sensed sothing was wrong, from Lancelot’s sudden anxious expression to his action of taking out the gemstone.
“I just did sothing stupid,” Lancelot admitted to his companions, “I tried to inject my special kind of energy into it, but the artifact seed to suddenly activate, wildly draining my power. I thought I would be completely drained, and that sothing even worse would happen afterward, but fortunately, in the end, it let go of , it seed to have finally had its fill.”
“That was indeed a very reckless move,” Kalalin nodded, “How do you feel now?”
“Two-thirds of my energy has been sapped, I’m afraid I’ll have to sit on the ground for a long ti to fully recover,” Lancelot smiled, but then he held up his arm and pointed to the dark spot on it, “But it seems the artifact has left a little gift.”
“What is this? A curse?” Alamir leaned in, “But I don’t sll any curse…”
“I call it a gift for a reason. In fact, when I concentrate on this black spot, the entire structure of the Great Abyss imdiately springs to mind, just as the Lord of Withering described to us,” Lancelot explained to his companions, “I think we’ve got the map we were looking for, now we just need to figure out what exactly the portal to Androlina looks like.”
“Wasn’t it said that only so ancient demon elders with very old bloodlines could use this thing?” Bruto grumbled, “Lancelot, are you sure you’re not the Abyss’s own flesh and blood…”
“But this thing is actually of no use to us,” Kalalin was still sowhat nervous, “We’ve already found the Eye of Sarezdon, bringing it back to Mogrondale City and asking for a map shouldn’t be an unreasonable request…”
“Oh? Have you already found the Eye of Sarezdon?”
An unexpected voice suddenly sounded. Lancelot’s pupils shrank abruptly, he pinched a spell with his hand, and the vines holding the black bead writhed, wrapping up the Divine Artifact, and light imdiately returned to the group.
At the entrance of the great hall, a blond male Elf in lavish clothing walked in, it was ‘The Great Arbiter’ Satugura, one of Mogrondale City’s Lords of Withering, followed by a large number of Maizeros Demon Guards, and so spellcasters with smooth, oval-shaped heads wearing long robes.
“Ladies and gentlen, good evening,” Satugura greeted the group with a smile that bode no good, “It’s a pleasure to see you all safe and sound.”
Upon recognizing the newcor, Kalalin’s complexion also changed drastically. He fumbled to take out the three Magic Wands used to search for the Eye of Sarezdon, and threw them aside forcefully.
“Why are you here?” Lancelot asked with a hostile tone, “Did you do sothing to those wands?”
“Can’t say it was tampering, just a bit of misdirection, using a bunch of complex but aningless Runes to hide one truly useful simple spell,” the blond Elf shrugged arrogantly, “As soon as any of the wands detected the Eye of Sarezdon, I would imdiately receive a ssage. Just a precaution, don’t you think that’s necessary?”
