Chapter 1166: Warmoth's Treasury (2)



The guidance field had revealed to Replicus that the Warmoth's three dimensions - those unlocked by the three keys - were known to some degree by the inhabitants of the Null Verse. It seemed that some, probably the Four Authorities, knew aspects of what was inside. The guidance field had mentioned that in one of these dimensions, there was a valiant armour that even the Four Authorities sought for.

This and there was never reason to doubt it - was obviously true.

The Warmoth's Progeny was looking at this highly sought after armour right now.

Its size was immense.

The armour sat over a massive stool of dark metal, leaning against the wall at the end of the exhibition hall.

Replicus was forced to take a breath.

He had no words.

Without thinking, he used the Warmoth's Spine - which had been in his upper hand all this time, 'sheathed' - to increase his size so that he wouldn't need to feel so minuscule in this gigantic space.

It also helped him appreciate the masterpiece in front of him in a way different light to just a few seconds.

The only words that could finely describe the armour, were that it embodied both a humanoid shape and an inhuman one.

There was nothing else one could say that could explain its entire likeness very well.

Perhaps, one could reference the chilling darkness leaking from the visor on its helm, and the creepy, foam-like darkness shrouding it like soapsuds.

Replicus found that it was this darkness that caused the fibres of his existence to tremble as much as they did right now.

Serenity confirmed it as well.

"Be careful with your approach. Some of the greatest treasures from the Null Verse are extremely hostile to anyone but their owner. I'm sure you are aware of how magical objects can develop consciousnesses. That concept becomes especially treacherous with the grades of artefacts of this level," she warned.

The Warmoth's Progeny didn't offer a direct gesture to show that he had heard her. He merely gave another deep breath of appreciation.

His eyes remained glued on the treasure.

He could feel an immense sense of greed creeping within him.

He used the guidance field to check it immediately.

'Really?' Replicus asked. He was astonished that this was a thing. 'Wait... Do you mean the Warmoth was aware of the Voice of Worlds and the guidance field?'

"Yes. It wouldn't be surprising. I'm quite sure that there are beings recognised by the Voice of Worlds on Aigas as well, but who just aren't bearers like you. Recognition by the Voice of Worlds isn't as rare a thing as you might think and it doesn't always come with a guidance field."

...

"I see..."

It appeared Replicus never quite understood the full functionality of the Voice of Worlds. Could anyone blame him though?

The wider reality outside of Aigas was rather convoluted and complex.

Replicus stroked his chin as he stopped and stared at a kite shield with four intricate jewels branded to its centre. It was made from a material similar to that which formed the paved pathway in the Empyrean Bosom.

He then turned to a black scimitar with a milky-white edge; a canary-yellow horned-helmet that produced a subdued hissing noise; a pair of serpent-shaped greaves with Ju`wtte crackling from their soles; a full set of armour that was open at the chest, as though inviting attacks upon its user; what looked like a cherry-coloured cloak with half a hood.

There was great variety in shapes and designs, but Replicus remembered Serenity's words and refrained from getting too intimate with the items just yet.

It could be dangerous.

The temptation remained, though. Replicus soon found himself once again looking at the

armour at the end of the hall.

He had travelled up to two thirds of the way to it by this point. He wanted to get closer and

inspect it some more without touching it.

But...

"Stay... away..." a voice hissed softly.

Replicus shook.

He knew at once.

It was the armour speaking.

"Stay... away... Jan`ind..." it said. "First... you must become HIS echo... Stay away..."Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)
