Chapter 239 - 194 : Signs (1/2)

Finally, after spending a whole minute bombarding the black ring with thick bolts of Demonic Lightning, a sound similar to broken lock was heard. Arthur dispersed the lightning and injected Nether Energy inside, trying to see if it's open or not.

As he had guessed, the Demonic Lightning did its job marvelously, shattering whatever formation was protecting the storage ring.

Soon, his consciousness delved deep into the ring, seeing what's inside and having free will to do anything with the objects residing within it.

Arthur hoped he would find other Dimensional Stones, however, it wasn't that easy to obtain them. The only reason the Spatial Master had two of them was due to his old age and his nonstop traveling, which allowed him to venture in all kinds of environments and worlds, making him able to get his hands on such precious stones.

As expected of a Sovereign, his storage ring had the largest space from all the storages Arthur had seen since his reincarnation, except for Zodiak's, of course.

Zodiak's storage ring was unimaginably big, to the point of making one's mind totally numb. It's too vast and has countless things, stuff that Arthur didn't understand their uses even with the System's help.

Inside Rozak's ring, there were a few books about the Holy Arts. There was even a book mentioning how to train the 8th Chapter of the Holy Arts, a skill Arthur hasn't obtained, as for the rest? They were useless to him since he gained the old man's skills thanks to his Racial ability.

Nonetheless, he wasn't going to throw them away, they'll be stored in his sect yet to be made library. He had an immense variety of techniques, to just let them accumulate dust in his storage would be a waste so he decided to give them to Anastassia, who'll take care of them and put them on display for the disciples, so they become more motivated to obtain them.

Some techniques will be kept in secret and only for important individuals of the sect, but these are few and far between. Arthur didn't want to be stingy and he wanted to build a good home for his daughter and wife, moreover, he doesn't have a use for most of his treasures, so it's better to keep them in the treasury of the MoonStar Sect.

Amongst all the things Rozak had, Arthur found an emblem that probably indicated his Rank. It was still active as it emanated a small white light and had a dense amount of Holy Magic stored inside.

'I could certainly use this.'

With the body of the old man and this emblem, he would be able to cover his tracks for quite a while before he's discovered. The bodies inside the storage won't rot yet Arthur still used his Ice Magic to freeze the whole corpse. The old man is injured but if he were to possess him, he would be able to heal those wounds in a short time.

Just like the other two rings, he found artifacts and various Holy-related weapons and after a bit more searching, he found a special inner armor that was very useful.

It could be worn under the robe or a normal armor and it's exactly what Arthur needed. He had a few armors in his storage but most of them were weak and would be destroyed with one blow from Gods.

Vindicator of Wonders(3rd Grade Heavenly Rank): +10% Defense / +1% Dexterity

Special effect: +5% Holy Resistance

The items that add a percentage of the stats are very rare. Moreover, if this inner armor could be upgraded, its effect will increase too. 10% may not seem a lot, but Arthur's defense is sky high, around the 700 million, so 10% is more or less 70m. That's more than any armor Arthur got, what more, it's comfortable and is not a heavy armor, which is a bonus for Arthur, who doesn't like a full suit of heavy armor covering from head to toe.

…

Arthur wore the armor and it fit perfectly in the woman's body. The amount of Holy Resistance it added was meager, however, it's still better than nothing, even if it reduces 1% of the incoming attack, Arthur would still wear it.

When everything was thoroughly checked, his condition in its peak and his mind no longer burdened, Arthur prepared to leave the luxurious room, which he had been asleep in for god knows how long, when someone barged into the room with a sour mood and an annoyed expression.

It was none other than Jian Si, who had a disheveled appearance, messy hair and dust all over her white face, she was visibly injured but nothing too serious.

”If it weren't for your absorption ability, I would have killed you a thousand times!”

Jian Si protested, clearly displeased about what happened moments ago.

Swain soon entered the room, he was unscathed and in a particularly good mood, he looked at the girl and retorted

”Ever heard of 'Win without boasting. Lose without excuse'?”
