Chapter 388 (2/2)

“Is there a booby trap?”

“No… there’s an interlayer,” she said, examining the box. “It’s at the very bottom. I didn’t notice it at first because I thought it was only a regular partition.”

Roland took out all the books from the box, exposing the thick bottom. Anna carefully cut open the wooden plank and retrieved a cast iron box.

“What’s it?” Roland curiously opened the lid and saw a thick metal plate encrusted with four colorful crystals. Its design revealed that it was obviously very unique. “Perhaps the Quest Society did leave you with some valuable objects after all.”

Agatha gasped. “This… can’t be possible!”

Her dramatic reaction confused the other four people, and Roland immediately put the metal plate back into the box. “What’s wrong?”

“This is the Sigil of God’s Will!” the Ice Witch said in disbelief. “How did Kagar manage to get his hands on this?” She rechecked the box a couple of times. “Did he steal it from the other witches in the Quest Society?”

“Maybe his fleet was attacked and someone entrusted him with it,” Roland guess randomly. “It’s been 400 years, and it doesn’t matter who the box belonged to… What on earth is the Sigil of God’s Will?”

“Some Magic Stones, when pieced together, can have extra abilities, alter their magic powers’ properties, or increase their effects—this was the most important topic of research for the Quest Society.” Agatha carefully scooped up the silver plate. “Magic Stones that are pieced together are called Sigils, and the Sigil of God’s Will is the most powerful kind. Its Magic Stones all come from Senior Demons, and there are only three or four of its kind in all of Taquila.”

Roland couldn’t help but whistle in awe. “How powerful is it?”

“It can wipe out your entire castle.”

The prince choked in shock.

“Don’t worry, it also requires an alarming amount of magic power—the more Magic Stones are on the Sigil, the harder it is to activate.” Agatha closed her eyes, and two of the Magic Stones on the metal plate began to glow, while the third remained dull. After a while, she seemed to be exhausted and let go of the plate, panting. “The only witches who could use the Sigil of God’s Will were the Union’s two Chiefs.”

“You mean… Transcendents?”

Agatha nodded.

Roland thought for a while and said, “Let Anna have a try.”

“That’s useless,” Agatha said, shaking her head. “Extraordinaries use their magic power differently from ordinary witches, basically practicing all the time. Once they evolve, the amount of magic power in their bodies will greatly surpass… What?!”

Everyone saw that as soon as Anna touched the Sigil, the four Magic Stones immediately began lighting up one by one, and the edges of the metal plate began streaming with a gold light that looked like lightning. The gold light became more and more intense, and the Sigil shone like the rising sun!

“Let go of it right now!” Agatha screamed.

The light immediately vanished as if it had never even appeared. Anna let out a gasp and gently placed the Sigil back into the iron box. “It does use up a lot of magic power, so I can probably only use it twice.”

The basement was dead silent.
