Chapter 56 - 56. A History Lesson (1/2)

After two hours looking at the runes and other symbols and buttons on the control panel, Mack finally had a basic grasp of how it worked.

But something still felt odd to Mack. He didn't find the power source of everything.

It seemed that was not here, as the runes were mixed with tech and other symbols it made difficult to Mack to locate it, but he was sure this floor didn't have a place like the cubes had.

'Where is it?'

Then Mack remembered all the other floors they passed without stopping.

'Dont tell me?'

Mack run for the elevator, and as he was going to press the button to call the elevator, it made a noise and opened.

It was Raz..

”You guys are finally back! Did you take all the trash out?”

Raz gave a simple nod and was about to leave the elevator when Mack suddenly entered it.

Everyone looked at him, not understanding.

Did he want to personally see the bodies?

But Mack pressed a button that was related to the floor below, not the main hall.

The door closed and and Raz quickly patted on Mack shoulder like asking for him to turn and explain what he was going to do.

”You guys will see soon enough.”

~tin~

The familiar elevator noise and the door opened.

And in front of them a small room with a glass window, like the ones from an operation room in hospital movies.

Mack approached the glass window, and everyone came along, following him.

On the other side of the glass, Mack saw something he never saw before.

A crystal.

Like a diamond made of milky white color in the center of the room.

Below it a runes and symbols that encompassed the entire floor.

The crystal itself was not big, it was the size of a baby fist. But even so, Mack was still chocked.

'Is this like the mana crystals from games?'

”So small, I was expecting way more.”

Raz and everyone around looked at Mack at the same time.

Did this guy went insane? A crystal that size is already rare.

And as if to correct Mack's assumptions, the Arcane voice came.

[Essence Crystals are as rare as dragons on your planet. Did you ever saw a dragon before?]

'No'

[Neither those warlocks saw an Essence Crystal like this before]

'But is not the same in all towers?'

[No. This tower is a bit special. You can tell it because it has 10 floors instead of the regular 5 from other towers]
