Chapter 83 3-Star

"Not yet… It's not like we can carry all these chests… or are you thinking of leaving them here?" Tara asked as she pointed at the chests filled with Mana Crystals.

"T-that's true… What should we do about these?" Vincent helplessly smiled after seeing this situation.

He tried lifting one of the chests and realized that it was actually very heavy and he barely managed to lift it.

"It's heavier than I expected. It would be a shame to leave this here. Should I try using them instead? Vincent thought before shaking his head.

The mana crystal is a highly condensed state of mana that is formed naturally within a Mana Vein.

Vincent learned that large clans like Troy Clan and Zemin Clan who has their own land and territory have a Mana Vein under their protection.

This is why they were capable of nurturing many Mana Practitioners or Alchemists. Without the Mana Vein, raising so many magicians or physicians would certainly be difficult even for large clans like them.

Nevertheless, these Mana Crystals can only be absorbed by Magicians that have already compressed their mana within their bodies. It means that if Vincent tried absorbing the Mana Crystal right now, he would just waste over 80% of it.

"What should I do?" Vincent muttered to himself.

"You're an appraiser right. Can you appraise that black box you're holding?" Tara suddenly said as she looked at Vincent, amused.

"Eh? This box?"

"Yes."

"R-right… Wait a moment." Vincent said as he activated his Appraisal Skill.

Ding!

[ Appraisal has been successful. ]

[ Obsidian Treasure Box ]

[ Quality: Legendary

Number of Enhancements: 10/10

Durability: 350/350

Protect: 550

Block: 200

Description: A special box with the power to open another dimension and store mystical objects. It is also capable of protecting itself from being destroyed.

Mystical Store Skill: In exchange for 1 unit of mana, a mystical object targeted by the skill can be stored.

Remarks: This item can not be enhanced. ]

"Oh! Perfect timing!"

Vincent exclaimed as he immediately tried using the treasure box.

He poured a unit of his mana into the box as he triggered the Mystical Store Skill of the object.

Soon, translucent energy came out of the box as it covered the target he was trying to store. As soon as it was done, the mana crystals together with the treasure chests disappeared in his sight.

Vincent then spent over five minutes familiarizing himself with the new item he has obtained. During this time, he learned that taking out the items inside the box will also use 1 unit of mana.

The most important thing is that this treasure box is picky. Just like the name of its skill, it can only store Mystical objects.

It means that his normal clothes or any random things can't be taken in.

Nevertheless, the Magician Robe that the Count gifted to him was actually considered a Mystical Object so he can store it

'Hmmm… I wonder who enhanced this box? Why is 10/10 already?' Vincent mused as he found this quite interesting. This is similar to Tara's Celestial Armor after all.

"Are you ready?" Tara suddenly asked interrupting his thoughts.

"Ah, yes… Where are we going?"

"Let's just check the last room …"

"Alright." Vincent didn't think too much as he followed Tara.

He also noticed that she seemed to be looking forward to visiting the next room and he found it really unusual.

Thud… Thud…

The two arrived at the last room and Vincent realized that there is a pond at the center of the chamber.

"Serene Pond?" Vincent's body tensed up after having a guess.

He immediately looked around and as expected, spirit guardians suddenly manifested.

The Spirits Guardians looked like a couple of tigers as they readily pounced on Vincent and Tara.

"Let me help!"

Vincent immediately said afraid that the Celestial Being would just kill the two. Of course, he knows that he still needed to kill this Spirit within 20 seconds of their manifestation. This way, he could get double the amount of Serene Water based on what the man outside said.

Roar!

As the Spirit Tiger gets closer to Vincent, he immediately activated the power that only belongs to a 3-Star Aura Knight.

"Soul Pressure… Domain…"

Although he's still at the beginning stage of a 3-Star Knight, he was still able to develop the skill thanks to that training from the white orb.

Whom~

The tiger immediately felt restricted as it was unable to move for 2 seconds!

A couple of seconds may not be that long. However, Vincent was prepared for it! He immediately dealt a heavy blow by using his Silver Ruin Dagger!

Slash!

With a single wave of his dagger, he slashed the head of the spirit tiger killing it almost as swiftly as Tara!

This is all thanks to the Silver Ruin Dagger's special attribute!

After reaching the +9 state, its Pierce Attribute has already reached 220 points!

As a matter of fact, it has also received a new attribute after training with it for a long time.

[ Silver Ruin Dagger ]

[ Quality: Rare

Number of Enhancements: 9/10

Durability: 550

Pierce: 220

Critical: 100

Description: A serpentine shape double-edged blade forged from new silver.

Remarks: Special Pierce Attribute found. Durability and Pierce attributes will be upgraded in every enhancement. ]

With the Pierce and Critical attribute, his Silver Ruin Dagger is his best weapon if he wanted to cut things up while using Cane is when he wanted someone to be smashed into many pieces.

"That's quite faster than I expected. Your weapons are really amusing. The Cane that could crush anything… and now the dagger that can slice even spirits… It's impressive." Tara complimented.

"Thank you… To be honest, I was surprised as well. Ehem… Anyway, I'm mostly relying on my weapons to deal damage to my target so I need better weapons. Perhaps once I can use Tier 2 Mana Arts, I will be changing my battle style."

"Hmm… I see. Then. go ahead and collect the serene water then." Tara said as she gestured to Vincent to check the pond.
