Chapter 2499 Arangatas Gem

As she stepped aside, a kindle of white fire appeared in my hand, which I threw toward the pool.

Dhub!

It fell near the pool and began to spread around it before covering the corrupted pool the whole. The corrupted pool is extremly dangerous; a slight spill or even energy leakage would have a drastic consequence; I did not want to see it happen.

I have done even greater preparation in my core. 

With the fire covering the pool, I walked toward it and touched it with both of my hands, and a moment later, it had disappeared inside my core with me.

The pool appeared at the opposite end of the small lake, near the hills. The corrupted pool is fifty meters in diameter and covers its huge circular formation of double its size; this whole formation is crafted from the white fire of the fountain.

The fire is extremly strong with a great purification power; even the slightest spill or slip of corruption would be burned by it before it could damage my core.

While this corruption pool is dangerous, it will also provide me with huge benefits. I could see stainless loti plants are still alive, and with time, the new stainless lotuses grow out of them. They would grow even faster if they consumed the growth energy.

Now, I really want to find some Grimm with the Bloodline and kill it; so I can grow these loti rapidly with the growing energy. They are extremly extremly useful not only to me but also to the project.

The five lotuses I have will disappear extremly fast. Even though I wanted to keep them, I would not be able to keep more than one and a half for myself. As it would be extremly useful in the project, I would not be able to stop myself from using such a precious resource.

”Bring out their formation,” I said to Sarah, who, without saying anything, walked toward the palm-size beautiful crystalline wings. 

This artifact is really beautiful; the wings are made of green crystal and are extremly thin. They are even thinner than the paper but have light shimmer through them, which makes them look really enchanting.

It seemed like these wings were useful to Sarah, the way she looked at them. I have no interest in them; I have already got what I wanted with it and wouldn’t be much disappointed if that blue gem turned out to be a useless artifact.

Sarah brought out the formation as I had asked her, and I began to solve it without wasting time.

The formation is difficult but not as difficult as the one on the door or the corrupted pool. I should be able to solve it in much less time than them.

Buzz!

It took me around two and half hours before I was able to break the formation, and just as it did, Sarah took the wings before I could even touch them.

I glared at her seeing that, but she glared back coldly and brought out the formation on the wooden staff. The staff is simple; the only design it has is the wooden vine surrounding it and the rock flower at the top; it does not seem that special.

Though I know looks could be deceiving, it might be a very powerful or a useful artifact or a totally useless one.

Buzz!

It took me nearly three hours to solve the formation, and like the last time, she took the artifact the moment its protections broke.

After placing the staff in her storage, she revealed the formation on the blue gem, and I started to break it. The blue gem is the last artifact, and it is mine; I am quite curious about the gem and what it does. I hope it is not an offensive artifact but something supporting the type.

Most importantly, it should not be a useless one. I have too many of them in my storage and did not want any more of them.

Buzz!

It took me two hours and ten minutes to solve the formation, and Sarah broke it. For a second, I thought Sarah might take a gem, but she did not. She just broke the formation and stepped away while I finally took the gem in my hand.

I observed the blue gem, which is half the size of my thumb and quite beautiful, and I immediately thought of gifting it to Marina, but before I did that, I wanted to know what it does first. So, I inserted my energy inside it.

Hun!

The information about the artifact flooded inside me, and it couldn’t help but make me happy. Though I doubt most people be happy, to them, this thing is nearly useless.

The gem is called arantagas gem, and it is a natural energy storage crystal on which a formation is carved, which can be totally destroyed.

This crystal could store any form of any, and it is very to leak for it; from what I have read, some the dark organizations even use it to store the souls. 

Currently, I do not need it; with the help of rule-bending power, I could do what advantages crystal is capable of, but I am aware that it is a precious thing and might be useful someday. So, I  carefully stored it in my storage and turned to Sarah.

”I think we should rest for a few hours; we will need it if we want to harvest those precious plants in the garden below,” I said, to which she nodded, and we walked toward the opposite corner of the sanctum.

There is no way we will live in the same abode. 

We did not have any respect for each other, and if we remained too close, one of us might just explode. I will explode. So, it is better we remain as far as way from each other and complete this mission with as much civility as possible.
