Chapter 241 240: Aerofoil Relics
As Corey left the herb section of the treasury, he activated his Eyes of Omniscience, and decided to look for the location that had the highest concentration of energy.
His vision changed and Corey saw various colors in the large treasury. At first, he was a bit overwhelmed by the numerous colors in the treasury, but he eventually got used to it.
He looked at the colorful energies in the air for a few seconds, and he noticed that there were times some places with a large concentration of energy would vanish abruptly.
'I guess that should be the work of Divine.'
Corey thought, then his eyes shined as he noticed a dense concentration of nine colorful energies.
Without hesitation, he walked to the location. After walking for a a minute, he reached the location, and a wide smile appeared on his lips.
Wonderful!. This is absolutely wonderful!'
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Corey had the urge to laugh out loud in glee as he looked at a pile of nine differently colored stones.
In front of Corey was a large pile of the nine elemental stones!
The fire, water, earth, lightning, metal, wind, wood, magma, and ice elemental stones were all before Corey, and Corey could not help but grin in excitement.
'With these, I don't need to worry about increasing my strength for a long time.'
Corey thought, then he walked to the pile of fire elemental stones. He brought out the card given to him by Divine, and the barrier around the fire elemental stones dissipated.
Corey's smile widened, then his Tri-Pupil Eyes glowed. A black vortex appeared beneath the fire elemental stones, and a second later, the pile of fire elemental stoens disappeared.
Corey walked to the remaining piles of elemental stones, and he stored each of them in the storage space in his Tri-Pupil Eyes.
Blood dripped from Corey's eyes, and he wiped the blood with a grin.
'I didn't expect to find so much elemental stones.'
'It's a good thing I followed Divine.'
Corey thought, then he activated his Eyes of Omniscience and looked around. He noticed that the location that had the highest concentration of energy was the artifact section.n)-o).V)(E.-l-.b/-1(-n
'To the artifact section then.'
Corey thought, then he walked to the artifact section.
As soon as he reached the artifact section, he noticed Divine looking around with his hands on his chin.
Divine noticed Corey, then he waved his hand at him with a smile.
[Don't take too much from here.]
Divine telepathically communicated with Corey, then he walked to a shelf which contained numerous staffs.
He brought out a similar card and the barrier surrounding the shelf disappeared. He waved his hand, and a few seconds later, every staff on the shelf disappeared.
Corey's lips twitched.
Although he wanted to say something, he decided not to.
He had just taken every single herb and elemental stone that was in the treasury. And, he still planned on doing something similar.
If that was not a lot, then he didn't know what it was.
He released a soft sigh, then he walked to the shelf that contained numerous and various armors.
He placed the card before the barrier surrounding the shelf, then the barrier disappeared. His Tri-Pu[pil Eyes glowed, and a second later, every armor on the shelf vanished.
Divine had a strange expression when he saw Corey taking all the armors.
He could not help but wonder why Corey would decide to take all the armors when he just needed to take the best armor.
Although, he was curious about Corey's actions, he decided not to speak. He guessed that just like him keeping every staff in the treasury, Corey probably had a reason for keeping every armor in the treasury.
'He probably didn't keep it due to his greed.'
Divine's thought was not wrong. Corey would never decide to keep every single armor in the treasury due to greed.
Corey's reason for taking every armor was due to his Devourer's armor.
The Devourer's armor was a growth item that increased in it's ability by devouring other armors. The Devourer's armor was an armor with very powerful abilities.
But, the Devourer's armor had a downside.
The owner of the armor could not use any other armor apart from the Devourer's armor.
This information was not given to Corey by the Universal System, and it almost cost Corey his life. There was a time Corey found an armor to his liking, and he bought it.
He intended to use the armor instead of the Devourer's armor since he would not spend a lot of resources in looking for countless armors to develop the Devourer's armor.
He bought the armor, and when he wore the armor. He almost died.
Unknown to him, the centipede tattoo on his chest drilled into his chest, and it wanted to devour his heart.
If not because of Nina who immediately told him to quickly remove the armor. He would be a cold corpse by now.
Nina eventually told him about the Devourer's armor, and Corey cursed the Universal System endlessly on that day.
Because of the incompetence of the Universal System, he had almost died.
After that day, ones of Corey's future plan was to buy a lot of armor to feed to his Devourer's armor.
Corey shook his head to dispel such unnecessary thoughts from his mind. He looked at Divine who was taking at least 70% of the artifacts on the shelves he walked to.
Corey calmly walked to another artifact which he had his eyes on from the moment he entered the artifact section.
He stood in front of the shelf which possessed miscellaneous items, and a smile appeared on his lips as he looked at a pair of metallic wings.
His eyes darted to a plaque that held the description of the metallic wings.
[The metallic wings, known as the "Aerofoil Relics," are a mysterious and captivating artifact of ancient origin. Crafted from a lustrous, silver-hued metal that gleams like the moon on a clear night, these wings possess an otherworldly beauty that belies their advanced technology.
Each wing is intricately designed, with slender, feather-like segments that overlap and articulate, mimicking the graceful structure of avian wings. The smooth, cool-to-the-touch surface is adorned with delicate etchings and engravings, reminiscent of ancient scripts and symbols. The wings are surprisingly lightweight despite their metallic composition, and they emit a faint, soft hum when touched, as if they hold a secret melody within.
The Aerofoil Relics are said to possess extraordinary powers. When attached to a specially designed harness, they can be worn by a brave adventurer. With a mere thought and a subtle shift of intention, the wings unfurl, their segments aligning perfectly. As they extend, a soft, iridescent glow emanates from the metal, casting an enchanting, ethereal light that seems to bend and dance around the wearer. Once activated, these wings grant the wearer the gift of flight, allowing them to soar through the skies with grace and freedom, as if they were born to be a part of the heavens.
Legends suggest that the Aerofoil Relics were created by a long-lost civilization, a testament to their technological prowess and their deep connection to the natural world. Their true purpose remains shrouded in mystery, leaving adventurers and archaeologists alike to uncover the secrets hidden within the metallic wings, and to experience the awe-inspiring sensation of taking flight like a majestic bird.]
