What is that?

”Little sword, come back here! Help me to go up to the stone pedestal!” Duan Li called out as he continued to observe that peculiar object within the stone pedestal.

The sword came back as it wrapped up Duan Li with its Qi and they slowly went up the towering stone pedestal. ”Young master, did you find something?” asked the sword.

”En! It seems that there was something under this thing!” replied Duan Li as they arrived at the top. Activating his Tetra Unsealing ability, he tried to focus on what the object was before a mechanical voice spoke out within him.

[Unable to identify. Object needs to be seen physically by the host]

”Hmm.. it seems that this ability is not as omnipotent as I thought... How do I get the object under this stone pedestal...” Duan Li fiddled around the stone pedestal before he saw a runic inscription behind it.

[Identifying complete. The runic inscription is of Mirealithian origin and is responsible to activate a lot of hidden mechanism.]

[According to the database, this runic inscription will require blood to activate it.]

Blood?

Duan Li cupped his chin as he contemplated for awhile. He then used his index finger to slid at his bloody uniform and pressed it onto the runic inscription.

Woonggg!!

The runic inscription lit up with bright red colour as if using Duan Li's blood as a sort of catalyst.

Tink! Tink! Tink!

A series of metal chain sounds grinding against each other could be heard as the stone pedestal slowly opened up like a blossoming flower to unravel the object within it.

Wooonggg!!

When Duan Li saw this object, he couldn't help but to be mesmerized.

This was because this object was a golden longbow with an intricate design as well as many character in a mysterious language written on it!

”A longbow? This thing seems to be quite familiar! Where have I seen it...” commented the sword as it tried to recall something from his memories.

[Identifying complete. This bow is of the Mirealithian origin, used by the first Ancestor, Auriel. It is therefore called theAuriel's Legacy Bow and was passed down between chieftains of the Mirealithian race as a national tradition.]

[The Auriel's Legacy Bow has the distinctive homing ability and uses spiritual Qi of its host to summon the projectiles. Its total combative ability depended on the battle prowess of its host.]

Eh? Its an item used in a traditional culture of the Mirealithians?

”My identifying ability told me that this bow is called the Auriel's Legacy bow. It appears to have quite a decent ability too...” said Duan Li.

Hearing the name, the sword seemed to have come into a realization. ”The Auriel's Legacy bow? Now I remember! But why was it here? Isn't this supposed to be a guarded national treasure of the Mirealithians?” the sword commented as it found this situation to be weird.

Could something might have happened to the Mirealithians for them to leave their most sacred national treasure in this Eternal maze?

Before they could contemplate any further, the mechanical voice of the Mirealithians echoed throughout the chamber.

[The puzzle has been unraveled and completed. Prepare to be teleported out in 10 breaths of time.]

Hearing this notification, Duan Li quickly willed for the javellin spears, shields and armours laying on the ground to return back to their cubic states to be absorbed into his spatial ring along with the little cub. The sword also shrunk back to become an earring on his right earlobe, dangling freely with the shape of a small sword.

[3... 2... 1... Teleport!]

Wooonggg!!

...

Outside the Eternal maze, the red temple gate was vibrating before a series of runic symbols flashed on it.

Woonggg!!

”Oh? It seems that Duan Li is finally back. Let us see how he fares.” said the Principal as he chuckled out with his hands clasped behind his back.

They had been frequently going to the entrance several times now every few hours, and didn't expect for Duan Li to finish last instead of Xiahou Yu.
