Chapter 216 Keys and Essences (2/2)
”Yeah, that's right” Asteria replied as she nodded her head sagely ”Think about it How can you know about the truth about the Calao the moons themselves? That's just preposterous!”
”…” Alex resisted the urge to blow up as he let out a sigh
Of course what Asteria said made sense, but still, that did not make Alex feel any better
With all the probleo to the moon themselves for the Main Missoin?
That's just too much hassle!
”So, what is the condition that I should fulfill to make the [[Keys]] activate?” Alex asked as he rubbed his forehead in exasperation ”Should I ?”
”…”
Before Asteria could give a reply, Alex's eyes landed on Alina, as busy draining blood off the goblins that she killed
”…” As Alex stared at the gathered blood, his ot the answer to his question earlier
”Oh, so it's the blood” Alex ather blood from the monsters of the Fourth Calaht about that?”
”Exactly” Asteria replied as she suddenly gave Alex a sly look, ”However, don't think that gathering blood will just be this easy! This ain't preschool, hooman!”
”Huh?” At the instant that Asteria said these words, Alex started to feel an intense sense of foreboding, as he realized what Asteria was talking about
”You need to gather a drumful of blood from each of the 144 Waves of the Fourth Calaroans of protest from Alex ”That o to the h all the 144 waves first… If you don't do that, you will just be left behind here!”
”That's… just blatant bullying!” Alex blurted out before he could stop hiather blood fro time? Do you want us all to die?”
”Oh don't worry about that” Asteria replied as she let out a snicker ”The whole 144 waves for the Fourth Cala out before the time limit of the Main Mission So don't be worried about the tiet all the blood that you need there!”
”Ugh…” At that point, all that Alex could do was only moan in defeat as he shook his head ht that his Main Mission won't get anywhat Asteria said, Alex realized that he was just grasping at straws here
”…Fine, I already understood what to do with these [[Keys]]” Alex said as he rubbed his chin in contemplation ”Now, tell me all about these [[Essences]]”
”Oh, these [[Essences]]] are just simple” Asteria replied as she tilted her head ”Each of these [[Essences]] correspond to the power of its respective ive you the power related to that [[Essence]]!”
”…”
What Asteria just said was painfully simple
If Alex buys the [[Essence of the Blue Moon]], then Alex will get the power of the Symbolists Likewise, if Alex buys the [[Essence of the Yellow Moon]], then he will get the power of the Celestials The sa [[Essences]] too
Thisof 30 Years was already enough to dampen Alex's mood
”… That's just unfair” Alex croaked out as he looked at the price of these [[Essences]] ”Is it really worth it to buy them for 30 Years? This is just too much!”
”You don't understand the potential of these [[Essences]], Alex” Asteria replied as she shook her head quickly ”But with your situation right now, you actually do not have to worry about these [[Essences]] anymore”
”What do you mean by tha- oh” Alex stopped his question as he realized what Asteria was talking about
”…Since I can just Pillage the skills of the people in this world… There is actually no need for me to buy these [[Essences]] anymore” Alex muttered wryly to himself as he let out a sthen all the skills that I Pillaged, its fine At least I don't have to spend e”
”Tsk You got lucky that you have a Pillage skill with you” Asteria said as she let out an irritated huff” With that skill, you can just ignore buying the [[Essences]] froo and defeat the other Travelers and Pillage the [[Essences]] from theot lucky” Alex said as he let out a not-so-hurumbled as she shook her head profusely ”Let's see if you can keep that up once the other waves come out!”
”…I'll keep that in mind” Alex replied as he saw Alina and the others finishi+ng the blood draining of the goblins ”So, how about the re ite ite items are supplementary weapons that can increase your power” Asteria replied as she shrugged her shoulders ”You can buy them, but you actually don't need them to complete the Main Mission Its up to you on what you want to do with them”
”Hmph” That was all that Alex could say as he stared at the price tags of [[Toht]], [[Pearl of Endless Void]], [[Sword of Indomitable Will]], and [[Tower of Afterlife]]
They also cost 30 Years, which was just enough to make his heart bleed
”Why are they all expensive? Sigh, I already miss the discounts that I had before…” Alex ood old days…”
As Alex started to re his childhood, Asteria decided to interrupt him with 'official business'
”Heh, so what do you want to buy now?” Asteria said as she gave Alex a toothy grin ”Remember, it will be better for you if you just buy one [[Key]], and if you can e it, one of the supplementary items If you don't follow that advice, then don't blame me if you suddenly die on battle later”
”…”
Deep in his heart, Alex distrusted Asteria because of her attitude, but Alex was sure that this time around, Asteria was sincere for her advices to Alex
Since it was like that, then Alex had no qual Asteria's advice to hi now” Alex replied as he straightened his body ”But before I buy, letlifespan is around 55 Years, 4 Months, and 13 days, right?”
”That's the exact count as of now, hooained 85 Years as the reward for you finishi+ng the Main Mission in the Superhero World, then you paid 30 Years to get transported to this world You then spent 1 Month on this world, which leaves you with the lifespan that you just said earlier ”
”That a that just leaves too little possible ht to hi lifespan with all the items that he can buy
”Well, screw this I will just have to depend on the Bonus Missions to buy the other Iteht of these, he started to open his mouth as he said,
”Asteria, for now, you should buy…”
