Once again, Sesam's Spatial Gate opened near the locality where the Fragnt had fallen in the past. By now, most of the Silver and Golden Lights of Space and Ti had disappeared, revealing a huge crater in there. However, that wasn't all. At the very center of the crater, one could see a hexagonal platform. It had a purple rune on it, which was shining dimly.
Sister Orb was the first to talk when they saw that. [Wow! I truly didn't notice it before. The Fragnt wasn't on top of this thing. Instead, it was floating a few tens of ters above, so the Silver and Golden Lights completely covered it.]
Because the effects of Space and Ti haven't completely disappeared yet, Rean and Roan's group were far away, letting Sister Orb do the job. Still, they could see the platform as well. There were no doubts that this thing should be related to the artifact the system ntioned before.
"If you think about it, everything makes sense. The Fragnts weren't supposed to act like this, but this one specifically was ssing so much with Space and Ti Laws." Roan didn't find it strange. "There had to be sothing forcing the fragnt to act like that, and this platform should be the so-called artifact."
Rean agreed with him. "True. But as far as I can see, the light on the rune seems to be fading away."
The twins then looked at Sesa. "Is this part of the formations protecting this place?"
Yet, Sesa was as lost as the twins. "I was born here, but I've never seen this thing before. Not only that. Have you noticed? It simply doesn't appear in our Divine Senses at all. It is as if it doesn't even exist."
Sure enough, everyone used their Divine Senses and confird that what they were seeing didn't appear in their senses. Only their naked eyes were able to tell that the platform was there.
[Hey, you can co closer already,] Sister Orb suddenly called everyone. [The Space tears and ti displacent aren't dangerous enough for you anymore. It might feel uncomfortable, but you should be fine.]
No one wasted ti and flew straight to the platform's side. Indeed, the remaining powers did make them feel weird, but that was all about it. Not to ntion the feeling was gradually disappearing with the fading of those powers. "Let's excavate around it."
They quickly used the Divine Energy present in their bodies and moved the earth around the hexagonal platform. Turns out that the item wasn't that big at all. It looked more like those board gas dice with many numbers. It's just that there were no numbers on this one. Only a single purple rune on top of it, the side facing the sky, was visible. The other sides were empty.
"What is this thing?" Roan couldn't help but ask.
Of course, no one had an answer for that, including Sesa. "I truly didn't know it was here. But then again, now that I'm this close, I can feel that this thing trying to pull Space and Ti powers toward itself."
Rean walked around it for a mont as his eyes narrowed. Suddenly...
*Bang!*
Rean gave it a kick, sending it flying several hundreds of ters away. "Ouch! This thing is truly heavy!" He quickly rubbed his leg, which got quite painful after the kick.
The others looked back at him, puzzled. "Why did you do that?"
Yet, Rean didn't answer. Instead, he beca angry and jumped to the dice's side once again. "This is the piece of shit that put us through so much trouble!"
*Bang!*
This ti, Rean was prepared for the weight and hardness of the dice, so he protected himself accordingly. The dice flew even further away, making everyone even more puzzled. Yet, before anyone said anything, Roan raised his hand, telling everyone to not bother Rean.
*Bang, bang, bang, bang...*
Rean kept kicking the dice right and left nonstop. Not only that, he seed to be enjoying himself as he did that. "This is great! I can kick this thing as many tis as I want, and it doesn't get a single scratch! Hahahaha! I finally found a good punching bag. All the dummies I've forged so far couldn't withstand my power but look at this. It's perfect!"
*Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...*
The more he hit the dice, the more content he got. The others looked at Roan, who just kept his arms crossed and didn't say a word, so they didn't do anything either.
Suddenly, Rean brought out his Dark Star Sword and looked at the hexagonal dice with glee. "Forget the punching bag thing. If it can withstand my sword, then I'm going to lt it and forge a new sword for everyone. Hahahaha! Let's go!"
'Death Style, First Form, Stellar Piercer!'
A ray of Dark and White Light went straight at the dice. It obviously carried much more power than Rean's kicks so far, especially a piercing one. Rean didn't hold back at all, using all the Soul Origin Energy, Light and Dark Elent, as well as Space Power in the attack. Yet, just as it was about to hit the dice...
*Vup!*
It moved to the side on its own! Not only that, it was really fast! One must not forget that Rean is at the Space Bending Realm, and his Speed and Strength definitely matched those at the Elental Space. Nonetheless, the dice successfully dodged the attack in a flash.
"Eh?!" Rean looked at the dice with a surprised expression. "Oh, I see it! The remaining Spatial and Ti powers in it reacted to my attack on their own. Now I want to lt it even more. Hahahaha!"
Right there and then, a ga of mouse and cat started. Rean attacked the dice from all sides, and the dice dodged everything. Weirdly enough, though, Rean seed very pleased with that ga. "Hahahaha! Let's see how long the power inside it will last! Co to Daddy, my beautiful new sword!"
It was then that an enraged voice ca out of it. [Sword your ass!]
