Chapter 2065 New Sword Material... Or Maybe Not
Once again, Sesam"s Spatial Gate opened near the locality where the Fragment had fallen in the past. By now, most of the Silver and Golden Lights of s.p.a.ce and Time 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 Fragment wasn"t on top of this thing. Instead, it was floating a few tens of meters above, so the Silver and Golden Lights completely covered it.]
Because the effects of s.p.a.ce and Time 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 mentioned before.
"If you think about it, everything makes sense. The Fragments weren"t supposed to act like this, but this one specifically was messing so much with s.p.a.ce and Time Laws." Roan didn"t find it strange. "There had to be something forcing the fragment 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 Sesame. "Is this part of the formations protecting this place?"
Yet, Sesame 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 confirmed 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 come closer already,] Sister Orb suddenly called everyone. [The s.p.a.ce tears and time displacement aren"t dangerous enough for you anymore. It might feel uncomfortable, but you should be fine.]
No one wasted time 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 mention 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 games 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 Sesame. "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 s.p.a.ce and Time powers toward itself."
Rean walked around it for a moment as his eyes narrowed. Suddenly...
*Bang!*
Rean gave it a kick, sending it flying several hundreds of meters 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 became angry and jumped to the dice"s side once again. "This is the piece of s.h.i.t that put us through so much trouble!"
*Bang!*
This time, 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 seemed to be enjoying himself as he did that. "This is great! I can kick this thing as many times 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 melt 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 Element, as well as s.p.a.ce 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 s.p.a.ce Bending Realm, and his Speed and Strength definitely matched those at the Elemental s.p.a.ce. 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 Time powers in it reacted to my attack on their own. Now I want to melt it even more. Hahahaha!"
Right there and then, a game of mouse and cat started. Rean attacked the dice from all sides, and the dice dodged everything. Weirdly enough, though, Rean seemed very pleased with that game. "Hahahaha! Let"s see how long the power inside it will last! Come to Daddy, my beautiful new sword!"
It was then that an enraged voice came out of it. [Sword your a.s.s!]
