Chapter 58: The Search



Now deep in the treasury.

A rift opened up beside Alister, and Terra gazed at Alister expectantly, awaiting his response to her question about what he had been seeking inside the treasure trove. Alister met her eye, his expression calm yet thoughtful.

'I'm searching for components to craft something called the Omnipotent Elixir,' Alister explained in his thoughts.

Terra's eyes widened slightly in surprise, her curiosity piqued by the mention of such a legendary potion.

'The Omnipotent Elixir?' she repeated, her voice filled with awe. 'That's quite a task, my lord.'

"As my memory serves, the items required are: a true dragon's heart crystal, world tree sap, phoenix feather and an ethereal moonstone.'

Alister glanced back at the holographic display hovering before him, showing the list of required items, he confirmed Terra was right.'

"Indeed," Alister said.

"They're rare and powerful components, but I believe they can be found. Terra, if your eyes are truly capable of finding and discerning treasure. Can you help me search for them?"

Terra replied. "Of course."

"Leave it to me. I'll begin searching for these items immediately."

Alister smiled gratefully at Terra, "Thank you, Terra. Your assistance means a lot to me."

With a nod in the mindspace, Terra turned and began to focus her attention inward, tapping into her innate abilities to sense and locate rare artifacts.

Alister glanced around the treasure-filled chamber, ensuring Yuuto was occupied before speaking quietly to Terra. "Avoid being seen by Yuuto. We don't want to draw unnecessary attention."

Terra nodded in the mind realm. "Understood, my lord."

"Check the north side while I search the south side," Alister instructed, his voice firm.

With that, they both moved. Terra's eye floated around, thanks to the capabilities of the mind space, scouting the area with glances. Alister, meanwhile, scanned the southern expanse, hoping to find a clue among the piles of treasure.

However, as Terra began to hover further away, Alister felt a strange, chain-like sensation in his chest, pulling him back.

He and Terra stopped suddenly, both of them feeling the unusual restraint.

else.

'Wait... this presence... isn't it?'

He smiled again, instead of thinking further he began to walk inside the treasury silently. Inside the treasury, Alister continued his search.

Suddenly, Alister's attention was drawn to a faint but distinct pulse of mana coming from a

pile of gold.

'That's a strong aura, it must belong to one of items.' Alister thought to himself.

He approached cautiously, his heart pounding in his chest. As he sifted through the gold, a small, crystalline object caught his eye-its surface shimmering with a powerful blue light. As Alister held the crystal in his hand, a system window materialized before him, displaying the item's information.

Alister's eyes widened in surprise as he read the details.

"An SS rank item." He said to himself, as he admired the item.

The Eternal Bondmaster was indeed remarkable, a item that could turn into a wepon capable

of evolving alongside its wielder, anyone who saw such an item would not hesitate to take it

for themselves.

"This looks amazing."

"But it's not what I'm looking for, I have to keep searching."

Despite how amazing it was, Alister knew it wasn't what he was currently searching for. He gently placed the crystal back among the other treasures and continued his search.
