Chapter 217 - 207 (Trial) (1/2)
(Updates might be late, I have exams Nov. 24-27)
...
Inside the illusion barrier, it was really dark, any source of light doesn't exist. It was quite the same on the surface yet fundamentally different.
Even with this darkness that could make anyone feel uneasy just by experiencing it, he found no trouble navigating inside. This was all credited to his dark element.
”I'm not sure if the world source is here, but depending on how someone made this difficult and priceless formation, there should be something worth getting here.”
He said after looking at the surroundings, he could already see that the materials used in making the formation is very costly. His sight was limited in this space, as it couldn't cover the entire formation.
Even then, the things that he saw with his eyes were already a lot, the thing he deemed part of the materials in creating the formation, exuded with a very strong aura and magical power.
”Hmm... the place is very dark, I'm not sure but... there is a house, no! a small palace?” As he moved deeper, getting closer to the center of the formation, he could then vaguely surmise that he was inside a small palace.
On his hand there were three small dark looking stick.
”I already removed three of this... but the formation is still standing huh?... I guess, what I really need to find is the core.” He commented while fiddling with the dark looking stick.
Using his system to appraise the materials on hand, he read the description.
Dark Pillar: A material used for creating the [Dark Star Formation]. 3/10.
”This information is a bit lacking... but at least it tells me that there is still seven more of this things. This formation is called [Dark Star Formation] huh? Where is the star though?”
...
He didn't know the flow of time in this place, and when he asked Sistine how much time passed, she answered that almost two hours had passed.
On the past hours, while moving around he still didn't find the center of the formation, but it doesn't mean that he wasted his time.
Currently, on his storage he already collected all 10 of the dark pillars. As expected, the formation finally had some changes, it was getting smaller but it still didn't disappear.
”The last place should be this room...”
As he walked inside that certain room, he found a large stone tablet.
”Hooh... so this is the right place!” He gasped
Cautiously looking at the surrounding, he didn't find anything beside a stone tablet. Slowly walking his way toward the stone tablet, he is completely on guard so he could react if something dangerous happens.
Although he proceeded safely while collecting the materials of the formation, it doesn't mean that the formation has no defense mechanism
The moment he was 5 meters away from the stone tablet. In this place where there is only darkness, a bright red star shined, this star was the one engraved on the stone tablet.
”Someone finally appeared, and actually bypassed my formation.”
A voice suddenly sounded, he didn't know whether the voice came from a man, woman, young or old. But he knew that the sound came from the stone tablet.
”Who are you?.” He probed.
As if the voice didn't hear anything he said, it continued to say.
