Chapter 137: 3 Pure artefacts
The Next Morning - Day 28 of the Interracial War Event
Lein woke up with a sleepy face. He had gone to bed at 11 PM the previous night, extending his time by an hour because the epic chests had given him many rare items.
For three hours the previous night, Lein managed to open around 4,000 epic chests. The results were very satisfying; he obtained 17 pure artifacts, 58 broken artifacts, 22 legendary skills, 180 rare skill books, and 510 common skill books. The rest were building blueprints, materials, plant seeds, and ingredients for making weapons or alchemy formulas.
From the 17 artifacts Lein obtained, three items stood out as particularly useful: (Mad Summoner's Necklace), (Goddess of Enlightenment Fan), and (False Soul Ring).
(Mad Summoner's Necklace) A necklace made from the teeth of the Chaos Dragon, emitting great energy power into the hands of a summoner.
- Type: Active Artifact
- Grade: Pure Artifact
- Essence: 995
- Ability: (Mad Summoner's Soul) Activates the mad summoner's aura. Each summoned beast will be tripled and inherit random attributes (25%, 50%, 75%). No cooldown time. Each summoned beast that dies will create a 1-second delay before the aura reactivates. Maximum duration: 3600 seconds.
Mad Summoner's Necklace is perfect for rulers with summoner classes. Lein couldn't use it himself, but the artifact's ability was exceptional. He remembered a core member of his alliance who had summoning talent, planning to meet them when he had the time.
(Goddess of Enlightenment Fan) A fan made from the feathers of a sky swan, forged for 1,000 years with the lightning of the god of destruction.
- Type: Active Artifact
- Grade: Pure Artifact
- Essence: 615
- Ability: (Soul Purification) Activates the pure soul energy contained in the fan. Eliminates all illusions around the user and within the user's soul, refreshing the mind, making it healthier and calmer. Regular use increases charisma and the positive aura of the owner. Cooldown: 10 minutes.
This fan was beautiful, adorned with fine swan feathers. The handle was made of solid brown wood. With this fan, Lein could extend his epic chest-opening time by another hour, keeping his mind fresh and calm.
The third item was a simple black ring without any additional adornments. So plain that Lein examined it multiple times, making sure the ring he got was truly an artifact.
(False Soul Ring) A ring imbued with chaotic soul energy. Made from a mysterious stone with chaotic energy.
- Type: Active Artifact
- Grade: Pure Artifact
- Essence: 775
- Ability: (Soul Forgery) Creates an illusion of life's soul. When this skill is active, the user can fake their power level, but not higher than their original strength. Can only deceive beings with the same power level as the user.
The ring was Lein's favorite item. He had often read scenes where the protagonist hides their power, only to reveal their true strength and make a dramatic comeback when trouble arises.
"Huah."
Lein stretched his arms and flexed all the joints in his body, trying to shake off the lingering drowsiness. The plain black ring on his hand was now visible. Yes, he had already worn it, but hadn't activated the soul forgery. Everyone already knew his power level, so it was pointless to use it now.
Turning his body, Lein slowly got off the bed and walked towards the mirror on the table beside his bed. He stared at his reflection in the mirror intently. His face looked fresh, though some fatigue still lingered in his eyes. His short black hair was neatly styled, but a few strands were slightly tousled from sleeping.
Lein sighed softly, feeling a rare calm. The plain black ring on his finger stood out on his firm hand. He observed his body for a moment—a proportional and healthy physique, the result of regular exercise and a disciplined lifestyle. Since moving to the Heavenly Divine Realm, Lein had always tried to maintain his physical condition.
After ensuring he was ready for the day, Lein headed to the bathroom. Warm water flowed gently over his skin, washing away the last remnants of sleepiness. Lein savored every moment, allowing his mind to be calm and focused.
After his bath, Lein dressed comfortably yet neatly. He went downstairs, where the aroma of delicious food filled the large dining room. Upon arriving, breakfast was already neatly arranged on the table.
"Good morning, Brother... let's eat."
As usual, Nita was at the dining table, arranging the plates to make everything look more organized. Nita was still wearing her apron, cooking every day with their personal chef and learning from them.
"Good morning."
Lein walked to the dining table and finally took his seat. He began serving food onto each plate, even though only the two of them were eating. The large table felt quite empty in comparison.
"Brother, please try my dish. Yellow rice with rendang," Nita placed a large plate filled with cone-shaped yellow rice. Surrounding the rice were green vegetables and rendang meat with a rich, fragrant aroma.
"Um... delicious..." Lein inhaled deeply. He loved rendang, meat cooked in coconut milk for hours. The smell was delightful, with a dominant coconut aroma.
"Haha... it's good, right? I'll eat too," Nita said, taking off her apron and sitting beside Lein.
"Let's eat..."
"Enjoy your meal."
They soon began eating the food on their plates. Lein paused momentarily after his first bite. His eyes widened slightly, and a smile slowly appeared on his face. The savory taste of the yellow rice combined with the richly spiced rendang, creating a delightful flavor combination. He looked at Nita, showing sincere appreciation through his expression.
"This is truly delicious, Nita," he said with satisfaction, his smile growing wider. There was pride in his voice, proud that his sister had made such a tasty meal.
Nita beamed with happiness, feeling proud of her efforts. "I'm glad you like it, Brother," she replied enthusiastically. They continued eating, enjoying every bite in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
"Brother... the city's development is progressing rapidly."
"Life on Earth is starting to return to normal, but now with very advanced technology."
During their meal, Nita discussed the city's progress with Lein. As someone who frequently reviewed development reports of the City and Island, Nita had a deep understanding of the current state of the city.
"The latest trend is that humans who no longer wish to build islands are now called Hunters. This trend started by the Dawn Goddess alliance from the Russian alliance," Nita explained while continuing to eat.
