Chapter 150 - A Surprise That We Didn't Expect!

"Vicar that ring should be destroyed if it gets stolen by someone. He or she could get the power to summon the skeletons and might get the town in danger once again." I said to Vicar. 

"Don't you think we should listen to what Tane grandma had to say about the dark ring first before we destroy it?" Vicar suggests us to do that. 

"We still can know more about the dark ring after it gets destroyed... Remember that the dark ring is dangerous, you already experience what it feels like to be consumed by one. That dark ring must be destroyed!" I was afraid that if the dark ring would bring us harm if it still existed in here. 

Vicar understands what I'm trying to say to him and know about the danger as well but he was stubborn this time as he still didn't want the dark ring to be destroyed first before we heard Tane grandma's explanation about it. 

Somehow I find it weird why Vicar didn't want the dark ring to be destroyed. Suddenly Tane's grandma said something to Vicar as she sees Vicar's reaction right now. 

"Look like you had been consumed by the dark ring power..." Tane's grandma said that to Vicar. 

I then realized what Tane's grandma was saying. Does the reason why Vicar didn't want that dark ring to destroy was because he wanted the dark ring again. If what I think was true right now, the dark ring should be destroyed as Vicar could steal that ring and summon an army of skeletons which can be a threat to the town's safety. 

"I been consumed by the dark ring, what are you talking about?" Vicar said that as his hand tried to reach the box that contains the dark ring. 

"You can't lie to me Vicar, I see in your eyes that you really wanted this dark ring." Tane's grandma said to Vicar. 

"If you already can see that I'm lying right now, I guess I should not conceal it then." As soon as Vicar said that, he then rushed to Tane grandma's place and tried to grab the box from Tane grandma's hand. 

I was shocked to see Vicar like this as I tried to stop him but he wouldn't listen to anything that I had said. It was like before when he first put on the dark ring on his finger. Tane's grandma didn't do anything to stop Vicar as he finally gets the box easily. 

Vicar seems to be a different person right now, it this because of the dark ring effect on him. He quickly opens the box up but when he successfully open it, the box was completely empty as there was no dark ring inside of it anymore. 

Vicar then looked at Tane's grandma and take out his sword, "Tell me where you hide the dark ring! or this sword will pierce through your old body..." Vicar said that as he threatens Tane's grandma. 

Surprisingly, Tane's grandma remains pretty calm even though the sword was at the tip of her neck. Tane's grandma smile as she said, "If you kill me, you wouldn't find the dark ring..." 

Hearing that, Vicar unsheathe back his sword. He knew that the only person that knows about the dark ring's whereabouts was her and if Tane's grandma gets killed, he wouldn't know its location. 

"Vicar! Stop this... you aren't behaving like the normal you anymore." I said that to Vicar. 

"This is what I am right now, you don't understand... I need that dark ring power." Vicar said to me. 

Once again, he asks Tane's grandma the location of the dark ring, and this time Tane's grandma tells the dark ring location. I was completely surprised when Tane's grandma said that, I really didn't believe what she told us just now. 

Vicar didn't take it well as he was getting angry and immediately shouted at Tane grandma, "Are you kidding me old woman! There is no way that the dark ring is you..." Vicar shouted that. 

I still didn't believe that Tane's grandma was the dark ring, we both saw the dark ring was inside the box and what's more we can't believe that the dark ring was a living person. I really didn't expect that but what if this was the truth. 

"Either you believe it or not, what I'm telling you was the truth." Tane's grandma said that to Vicar. 

"No! You're playing with me as you don't want to reveal the location of the dark ring..." Vicar was getting impatient as he draws his sword and threatens Tane's grandma once again. 

"You're under the spell of the Dark Ring of Dominant, the ring that would control you even though you didn't wear it. I will break the spell for you." Tane grandma put her hand on Vicar's head and suddenly Vicar collapsed to the floor. 

In just a few seconds, Vicar open his eyes and was confused about what had happened as he stands up. It seems that he doesn't know why he was lying on the floor just now and ask me about it. I then tell him what had happened and after listening to it, he was shocked to know that he was getting controlled by the dark ring. 

"It looks like the spell on your mind has been broken. You should never wear any dark ring again or you will be under their influence for the rest of your life." Tane's grandma said that to Vicar. 

"Thanks for breaking the spell but may I ask, who exactly is you?" Vicar said that as he was curious about Tane's grandma's true identity. 

"Didn't I mention already, I'm the Dark Ring of Oracle. The dark ring that could see the future..." Tane's grandma said that to Vicar. 

Even though I had heard it again, I still can't believe that Tane's grandma was a dark ring. But why does a dark ring have a human form, shouldn't she be a dark ring instead. It was true what Tane grandma said to us before, there's so much that we didn't know about the dark ring. 

"So that's mean you're not Tane grandma..." Vicar said that. 

"You're correct, I'm not his grandma at all... I'm basically nobody in Tane's life." She said that to Vicar. 

I then began to wonder why Tane says that she was his grandma, does Tane mind get manipulated or something to believe that she was his grandma. Seeing what the dark ring could do to someone's mind, that could be a possibility that had to happen to Tane. 

"I know what you going to ask next, so I will tell you that it was indeed I have altered Tane's memory to make him believe that I'm was his grandma." She said. 

She knew exactly what Vicar gonna said next. Is this her power, an ability to see the future? She was the dark ring of oracle after all. Does she already know everything that happens just now, so that means she knows what' we going to do next? 

I then discuss with Vicar it and wanted Vicar to ask her what our future will be. I really wanted to know what will happen in the future. Vicar agrees with what I'm saying as he also wanted to know. He then proceeds with the question. 

"If you can see the future, mind telling me how my future will look like?" Vicar asks Tane's grandma about it. 

"I'm sorry but I can't do that... Even my power has a limit." Tane's grandma simply said that to us. 

"Why I thought that you could see the future, I think that you're lying with me right now," Vicar said that as he didn't believe that Tane grandma couldn't see his future. 

"I could only see the future that has myself in it, that's why I couldn't see your future as it doesn't intertwine with my future." Tane's grandma said that. 

"If what you said is the truth, then I guess I had to believe it but there are some questions that I would like you to answer..." Vicar said that to Tane's grandma as he there something that he wanted to know. 

Tane's grandma smile towards Vicar as she said, "As I said, I already know your question and I might be able to answer them but first you must do something that wanted you to do."

"Shouldn't you already know my decision as well, no need to ask me about it and just tell me what you wanted me to do?" Vicar said that. 

"It's a simple task, I need you to get me a demon heart... a living demon heart." Tane's grandma said that. 

Hearing that request, it definitely weird for Tane's grandma to request a living demon heart. But again, she wasn't even a human but simply a ring. 

Yet why does she need the demon heart, does she planning to do something evil with it. After all, she was a dark ring.
