From the fragnted conversation just now, Alka could only discern that the entity seed to want to tell him sothing: how to activate the chanism in the council chamber and retrieve the Scepter Level Treasure from there. This seed to be related to the salvation of its Race.
However, the more important question is, after 30,000 years, does this so-called salvation still hold any aning? After 30,000 years, everything has changed drastically; the idea of salvation has likely lost all aning.
Alka remained skeptical.
But this space clearly held nothing special anymore; even the light orb used for conveying information had dimd.
"Should we transport this thing out?" Jason asked, tapping the dim, crystal-like blue orb.
Looking at the orb, Alka shook his head. "How would we get it out? Our rings can’t contain it, and we don’t know how to open the gate to the outside world."
"True." Jason had only just thought of this problem.
"Alright, let’s leave first," Alka said. "There’s nothing left here, and who knows how long this space can hold."
As he spoke, Alka recited the Spell he had used for entry in reverse. As the ripples spread, they imdiately vanished.
The world once again turned pitch black. When light reappeared, they were already atop the ruins outside.
Alka looked at the skeletal hand still gripping his ankle and pulled it off. He tossed it into a nearby corpse pit, then glanced at the half-remaining corpse and the withered flower clutched in his own hand.
"We’ve got the item. Let’s leave here first and bury it."
Hearing Alka’s words, Lucilia asked with so surprise, "Aren’t we going to dig further down?"
"No, let’s leave first."
Having already acquired a Treasure, the group wasn’t greedy. They climbed out of the pit and swept the surrounding soil into it, covering it up. They moved quickly and had the pit filled in no ti.
They then hurried towards where the ship was docked.
When they returned to the ship, it wasn’t dark yet.
「In the captain’s cabin.」
Alka handed the withered flower he was holding to Pororo, who was beside him.
According to the order of mbers who didn’t yet have a Treasure, Pororo was undoubtedly first.
"Here, this Treasure is yours."
After all, just by holding it, the two Treasures within his own body were already showing repellent effects.
Pororo carefully took the withered flower, placing it gently in his palm, feeling its faint, almost imperceptible weight.
He had long coveted such a Treasure.
Aquamarine Magic Power surged from his palm, enveloping the flower.
With the influx of Magic Power, the flower’s once withered appearance began to change, as if revitalized, growing anew. The stem turned verdant, green leaves sprouted from its sides, and the translucent, crystal-like petals perked up again.
The ambient Magic Power around Pororo also rose rapidly.
The flower floated in his hand, remaining suspended for a mont, then suddenly descended. The surrounding Magic Power quickly dissipated as well.
This clear change indicated that Pororo had already mastered this Treasure.
He clutched the flower in his hand and opened his eyes.
Winter Flower... Alka had thought the flower’s effects would make the surroundings sowhat cold. But it turned out to be just this. It didn’t seem to match its na very well.
"How is it? What’s the Treasure’s effect?" Jason asked curiously from nearby.
Pororo raised his forefinger, electricity winding around it. With a sudden point, a current shot out, hitting the backrest of the chair next to Jason, striking a corner. Faint white smoke drifted from the impact site; it seed to be just an ordinary attack caused by a weak concentration of electricity, nothing special.
However, the spot struck by the current then began to inexplicably corrode. This corrosion produced an effect akin to lting before the material finally turned to ash and dispersed into the air. A semicircular gap appeared on the chair’s backrest; the spot hit by the lightning had completely vanished.
"What kind of effect is this? The attack power is so strong!" Jason exclaid in surprise, touching the gap. Especially how it turned directly into ashes at the end!
eting everyone’s curious gazes, Pororo held the flower between his thumb and forefinger and explained, "It’s called Winter Flower. It has only one effect: like winter, it causes things to wither."
Through this simple explanation, combined with the demonstration they had just witnessed, everyone easily understood the Treasure’s effect.
So that’s it, Alka realized, nodding in understanding. So the na Winter Flower cos from this aning. Previously, I thought this Treasure was related to winter and even considered whether to give it to Julia. After all, Julia has excellent control over cold-based powers and is well-suited to them. But it turns out the na refers to winter’s withering. Although it only has one effect, this single effect is indeed powerful enough. Causing things to wither like plants in winter... the demonstration on the corner of the chair back just now vividly exhibited this characteristic.
"Now you’re truly an offensive powerhouse! Your attack capabilities have greatly increased. Let’s hope your enemies don’t get hit by your attacks," Simon said with a smile.
This offensive capability, as seen in the demonstration, could be imbued into Pororo’s lightning. If such an attack landed, it would be devastating. For an unsuspecting enemy, this would undoubtedly be a terrifying special attack effect.
