Chapter 315 - Chapter 315: Chapter 299: Three Forbidden Rare Artifacts! (2/2)

She took a deep breath and remembered the mightiest knight of the civilized world, the “Military God” of the Seven Stars Empire, His Majesty Miller Corsica, and couldn’t help but feel a tingling sensation on her scalp.
The indisputable strongest being on the Ouden Continent.
If it weren’t for that person who defied fate itself, the Lorne citizens would have long since completely conquered the Seven Stars.
“Since he is a member of the Seven Stars Emperor’s Imperial Guards, why did he appear in Cyart… Traveling from the far north of the continent to the southeast, what exactly is his purpose?”
Lilian couldn’t figure it out, as the information she had was simply too limited.
“But no matter what, fate is arranged by the great Lord of the Lost, and since He has arranged all this, there’s no need for me to worry too much…”
She slowly shook her head.
“Ian, you did very well, this is all we need.”
Lilian showed a smile, gently patted Ian on the shoulder, and said firmly:
“Don’t worry, the great Lord of the Lost will surely guide the children of the White Sea through.”
——
After returning to Fischer Manor, Lilian couldn’t wait to start a new ritual.
“Oh great Lord of the Lost…”
Karl received the seven mysterious rare artifacts very quickly.
He felt an intense joy, for after having devoured a substantial portion of the Sea God, he was only one step away from breaking through the 5th Seal.
Now might just be the moment to break through the last barrier!
He absorbed the four treasure class mysterious rare artifacts in an instant, without even feeling anything special, Karl immediately understood that his threshold had become higher.
“Because absorbing them felt similar to consuming various foods, indeed, after absorbing high-quality ‘gourmet food,’ the threshold naturally increases, and the rune power condensed within them is quite ordinary and uninspiring.”
“Indeed, it’s time to look at the main attractions.”
The three forbidden rare artifacts each had their differences.
The ring glowing with dark purple light was the “Ring of Telepathy,” number 886.
The effect of the “Ring of Telepathy” was simple and yet extremely powerful: it could temporarily raise one’s extraordinary power by a level! The duration was roughly around two minutes!
Some treasure class mysterious rare artifacts did have similar effects, but they were ineffective on Monarch powerful experts.
Only forbidden rare artifacts could allow Monarchs at that level to receive such a significant temporary boost in power.
The cost was ten years of one’s lifespan!
In terms of cost-effectiveness, it was actually very high.
“Back then, Great Sage Sky Blue temporarily raised the toxicity by a level, nearly poisoning Chris to death… However, Lilian’s ‘Spirit-returning Tree’ is indeed very effective.”
The totally transparent short sword was “Sword of Assimilation,” number 5821, from the middle-aged man who was suspected to be a member of the Seven Stars Imperial Guard.
Its effect was quite special; the user had to sacrifice two years of their lifespan and then stab the “Sword of Assimilation” into someone’s body.
In the next month, the person who was stabbed would gradually become more and more like the holder of the “Sword of Assimilation”. If the other person’s willpower was not strong enough, they would eventually become a clone of the holder of the “Sword of Assimilation.”
“But those who have ascended to Monarch have sufficient willpower, otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to push open the gate… So it can only affect the weak.”
“The middle-aged man didn’t use it in the fight because it was simply not necessary.”
Karl pondered, then checked the last forbidden rare artifact.
The strangest was that empty box, number 2241, which was named “Dying Words.”
The user could leave a spell they wish to use in the box in advance, and if they were to die, that spell would automatically activate and its effects would be greatly enhanced.
After activating “Dying Words,” even the most ordinary fireball could have the terrifying power to destroy a village. Unfortunately, there was still a limit to the enhancement; ordinary Monarch powerful experts could not rely on the power of “Dying Words” to affect those at the level of Heavenly Enlightenment.
It was with this that Sage Dark Blue successfully managed to awaken the Sea God, who was already close to awakening.
The cost of using this forbidden rare artifact was a portion of the user’s soul.
“Indeed, forbidden rare artifacts are good stuff, and after my absorption, when they become rune power, the cost will become… free.”
Soon, he was eagerly absorbing the three forbidden class mysterious rare artifacts, and a vast amount of Spiritual Power rushed into him.
“It’s that feeling again!”
Karl immediately felt an extremely pleasant sensation, as if first the aroma from the “food” itself hit his nostrils, quickly arousing his appetite, followed by a wonderful stretch that filled him, the delicate texture and rich flavors made him unable to resist indulgence.
The last three courses of “feast” also reflected the tenderness of the meat, the freshness of the seafood, and the crisp, juicy freshness of the vegetables; each bite was like enjoying a banquet.
Immersed in this indulgent experience, Karl suddenly sensed something.
“It’s enough!”
The surging Spiritual Power finally destroyed the tottering Seal!
The 5th Seal, broken!
