Chapter 69 Chapter: 002 Original Foundation Pills (1/2)
”Void Steps!”
Just before the yellow flames hit him, Elijah turned into shadows while leaving several afterimages on where he stood. With a burst of speed, he reached the control panel and began pressing every button he saw.
After the flames extinguished, the girl in pink realized that it was a trap as Elijah was on the other side of the room. But she realized what happened too late and when she raised her staff to use another spell, a hole apeared right bellow her and hysterically screams could be heard as she fall somewhere only God knows.
Aprouching Elijah, Aina left the stone and said she could see Elijah was caught looking at a chest with a few golden lines on it. ”ohh, this one seems to be sealed with runic patterns. you don't need brute force to break it if you find the weakest point on the patterns. The only problem is that none of us know to find it, so we will have to find the weak spots and break these seals by force.”
Just before he heard Aina, Elijah decided to touch the seal with left hand and the Giant Gate instantly reacted as golden light was sent to his hands and covered the entire seal. Seconds after, it cracked open with a bang!
Elijah pulled his hand back when he heard the crash as he breathed in relief and showed an infantile excitement in his smiling face. He never thought he would be able to open it so easily.
”Now, let's see what is inside!” Elijah was a little forceful as he one of the chests.
Once it was open, the runes on the wall vibrated, and a new path begin to open.
He narrowed his eyes and discovered several artifacts made of Ethereal Silver that caused the room's temperature to decrease significantly.
Inside the first chest was a Bracelet and a Mask. After several tests, they find out that the Bracelet could store energy and control ice. As for the Mask, the only thing they could discover was it created a barrier arround the user's body. In the end, he gave Aina the Bracelet and stored the Mask on his smarthphone.
After opening the other chests, the only thing there was containers with hundreds of bottles and each one of those botlles had printed a pattern on them that vaguely resembled a tower except for one bottle that had only one pill. Aina opened the bottle without the pattern and poured the pills into her palm for further inspection. She noticed that aside from this bottle, every other bottles contained the same pill. As for the pills on her hand were all transparent like glass, each of them was about the size of a cherry, and they had a refreshing fragrance.
”Are these Original Foundation pills?” Aina turned her head to look at all the bottles around her, and she abruptly took in a deep breath of cold air; she was completely dumbfounded by the sight.
