Chapter 589 Chapter562-The Mystery Eye Gemstone
Upon reaching the bronze door, Hammer seemed unwilling to take another step forward, and John could tell that he was quite apprehensive about it.
"This is the entrance to the seal. From here on, you must proceed alone, as we absolutely cannot step beyond this bronze door."
Hammer's voice trembled slightly as he spoke, suggesting he might have encountered something truly terrifying beyond the bronze door in the past.
John nodded, asking Hammer to wait for him at the entrance: "Alright then, wait here for my return. I'll deal with the Sacred Relic within the seal beyond this bronze door as quickly as possible."
After saying this, John moved toward the bronze door.
As he approached, he could feel a powerful Mystery force emanating from behind it.
Upon reaching the door, John didn't immediately open it.
Instead, he cast a Detection spell to ensure there were no dangers lurking around the door before he proceeded to open it.
The moment the bronze door was opened, John was hit by a wave of intense Mystery power, which seemed to have found an outlet and rushed towards the opening.
However, all these Mystery forces were ultimately halted by an invisible seal.
It appeared that the seal Ocean Sage had placed was still somewhat effective.
"If you're feeling scared, you might want to stand back a bit. After all, even if I encounter danger, you won't be able to offer any help. Standing so close to the bronze door isn't going to be of any use."
John, sensing the potent Mystery forces, also noticed Hammer's evident fear.
He suggested Hammer move further away, reasoning that Hammer couldn't be of any assistance even if he stayed close to the bronze door.
Under different circumstances, Hammer might have objected, considering himself a formidable warrior.
How could such a warrior be afraid? But in this particular situation, Hammer didn't argue.
He silently moved to a safer distance, aware of his own concerns about being affected by the Mystery forces.
After Hammer had quietly stepped back, John proceeded beyond the bronze door.
There, he immediately encountered a hall shimmering with speckles of starlight.
The scene unfolding before John was undeniably beautiful, but he was in no mood to appreciate the spectacle.
He could sense that the twinkling lights were not stars but the malevolent glares of creatures, each one brimming with malice.
The shimmering in the hall was not starlight but the luminescence emitted from the eyes of Mystery monsters, all of which locked onto John the moment he stepped through the bronze door.
"It seems the situation here is quite perilous. But do you really think you can eliminate me with just your numbers? That's overly arrogant of you. Even if you don't intend to take me down, I won't spare you. All of you belong to the Mystery faction, and that makes us enemies."
As John spoke, he launched his attack. Under his onslaught, all the Mystery monsters in the hall were swiftly eradicated.
These creatures were not only of relatively low level, but they also lacked the support of a Mystery Saint.
With all the Mystery monsters cleared, John could finally proceed.
Beyond the hall lay another bronze door, and as he approached this second barrier, John didn't even need to use a Detection spell to sense the immense Mystery power emanating from behind it.
Moreover, the Mystery power behind the door hadn't taken the form of any Mystery monsters.
It seemed to exist purely as energy, a very rare occurrence. f reeweb novel.com
John knew that Mystery power only manifested in such a state in the presence of a Mystery Saint.
Could it be that what lay beyond the bronze door was an avatar or projection of a Mystery Saint? If so, John would have to reconsider the level of danger he might face.
After some hesitation, John cast a Detection spell again.
This time, however, the spell wasn't to detect immediate dangers but to ascertain the possible presence of a Mystery Saint.
The outcome of the spell indicated that a Mystery Saint was unlikely to be present.
Despite this, John was still somewhat apprehensive about the spell's accuracy since Detection spells are not infallible.
But having come this far, John felt he should continue.
It was not like him to turn back now and inform Hammer and Ocean Sage that he deemed the situation too perilous to proceed.
Even though John decided to move forward, he took a precautionary step to ensure his safety by casting a protective shield on himself.
With this protective shield in place, John could advance without the fear of sudden attacks.
Even if there were significant dangers beyond the bronze door, the shield would ensure his safety.
Upon opening the second bronze door, John entered a hall that, while not particularly large, held a central stone pillar.
Suspended from this pillar was a gemstone shaped like an eyeball, presumably the Sacred Relic of Mystery power that Ocean Sage had mentioned earlier.
The moment John laid eyes on this gemstone, he instinctively understood all there was to know about it.
[Name: Mystery Eye Gemstone]
[Affiliation: Mystery Faction]
[Item Description: This gemstone was discovered by the great Mystery Saint at the birthplace of Mystery power, where he perceived the essence of Mystery power itself. The gemstone was endowed with the ability to create Mystery power.]
[Item Attributes: The bearer of the Mystery Eye Gemstone can wield Mystery power.
However, during its use, the user will continuously undergo erosion by the gemstone.
Once the erosion reaches a certain threshold, the user will be deemed dead.
If the user's level is above 200, the Mystery Eye Gemstone can instantly kill the user, causing a level decrease of 20 levels.
If killed by the erosion from the Mystery Eye Gemstone three times, the user will permanently lose the ability to use the Mystery Eye Gemstone.]
Upon learning about the Mystery Eye Gemstone, John was somewhat taken aback.
He hadn't expected such a Sacred Relic to be usable by players.
Furthermore, the cost of using this Sacred Relic didn't seem too high, despite the erosion it caused to its user.
Yet, even without utilizing the Mystery Eye Gemstone, players would still be subjected to erosion by Mystery power during conflicts with the Mystery faction.
In fact, the Mystery Eye Gemstone allows for the precise control of the erosion level.
Mystery power isn't just a source of calamity for players; it can also provide assistance.
If the erosion level from Mystery power isn't too high, the player's affinity with Mystery power can increase.
This implies that players could, to a large extent, use the Mystery Eye Gemstone to indirectly harness powerful Mystery forces.
If John had possessed the Mystery Eye Gemstone during his battle with the Mystery Saint, he could have contested control over the surrounding Mystery forces.
John considered the Mystery Eye Gemstone incredibly useful for himself, so securing such a Sacred Relic was a priority.
However, the main challenge for John now was figuring out how to acquire the Sacred Relic.
The Mystery Eye Gemstone was hanging on a pillar in the hall, which was currently surrounded by numerous curses.
These curses had the power to instantly annihilate even formidable beings like John.
John didn't need much contemplation to realize that the power of these curses was the seal previously set by Ocean Sage.
If he wanted to play it safe, he could simply return and inquire about the characteristics of Ocean Sage's seal.
However, he also understood that once he left this hall, he might not get a second chance to return.
John could feel the Mystery Eye Gemstone watching him.
In a sense, the Mystery Eye Gemstone possessed its own form of consciousness.
Despite being merely a Sacred Relic, the Mystery Eye Gemstone had, in a way, come to life.
This meant that the Mystery Eye Gemstone could choose to seal off this area.
Once it decided to close off the hall, John and anyone else would lose any opportunity to acquire this Sacred Relic.
After some hesitation, John decided not to play it safe.
He resolved to gain control over the Mystery Eye Gemstone directly.
