Chapter 918 Capturing The Vylkr Artefact
Orion nodded and said, "I have a way to capture and hold him down!" He yelled back.
He wanted to try pouring his blood on the Vylkr artefact to see if it would enable him to claim ownership of it. He would have to find another way to bring it down if that didn't work.
Stronghold Leader Zogar nodded with a broad smile on his face. He vanished from his position and immediately appeared before the Vylkr artefact. Then, he wrapped his arms around its body, securely holding it in place, and unleashed all his lightning upon it.
Numerous powerful lightning bolts erupted from him, piercing the sky and the earth below.
CRACCCKLLEEE!!! BOOOMMM!!
The Vylkr artefact was electrocuted, instantly becoming motionless again.
Orion saw an opportunity and reverted back to his human form. He cut his palm to draw blood and then approached the Vylkr artefact, which was being held down by Stronghold leader Zogar. He placed his bloodied hand on the back of the Vylkr artefact, ensuring that its entire back and head were dyed with his blood.
After a few seconds, Orion flew backwards to observe what would happen and signalled for Stronghold Leader Zogar to do the same.
Stronghold Leader Zogar released his grip on the artefact and distanced himself, staying on high alert in case anything went wrong.
The Vylkr artefact began to tremble before coming to a halt and slowly converging back into a large ball with a shimmering, translucent surface. However, this time, its surface was calm without any waves forming.
A mark detailing a small, inky black puppet with its limbs outstretched was suddenly imprinted on Orion's right chest. In the same way as all of his other divine artefacts, a strong mental link was formed between him and the Vylkr artefact.
Stronghold Leader Zogar followed behind him. They successfully passed through the Primordial barrier, making Orion sigh in relief and finally relax his tense mind.
They soon arrived before Stronghold Leader Seth and Fifi, who had been patiently waiting for them at the top of the Second Border Walls.
Upon their arrival, Fifi swiftly bombarded them with multiple questions before Stronghold Leader Seth could utter a word. "What was going on up there? Did you encounter any enemies? Did you manage to get the Vylkr artefact?" Fifi's concerned gaze was fixed on Orion and Stronghold Leader Zogar.
Orion knew their battle had caused a tremendous ruckus in their surroundings, so he wasn't surprised by Fifi's concerns. "Although we encountered a few challenges, we have successfully obtained the Vylkr artefact," Orion responded, bringing out the Vylkr artefact.
The 1.8(6ft) meter-tall humanoid Vylkr artefact suddenly appeared next to Orion, startling Fifi and Stronghold Leader Seth. Their bodies tensed with caution.
"Is this the Vylkr artefact? Did you fight with this?" Fifi asked, her eyes widening as she scrutinised the Vylkr artefact with heightened senses.
"Yes, although it was incredibly powerful, Stronghold Leader Zogar and I were able to hold our own against it and subdue it," Orion replied.
"Its strength was equivalent to that of a Five-star warrior, but we were still-" Stronghold Leader Zogar started; however, before he could finish his sentence, Stronghold Leader Seth interjected, "Five-star warrior!" his eyes fixed on the humanoid Vylkr artefact in horror.
Even Fifi couldn't help but be momentarily stunned upon hearing his words.
Stronghold Leader Zogar nodded solemnly. "I was surprised too at the beginning; however, with the Vylkr artefact by our side, our territory now has two five-star Vylkr star warriors protecting it," he responded.
Stronghold Leader Seth inwardly gulped as Stronghold Leader Zogar confirmed his words again. He had previously tried to push the thought of missing the chance to become a five-star warrior earlier away. Yet, he was reminded once more that his strength steadily became insufficient as the territory developed.
He tightened his fists as his raging emotions flowed through him again. He resolved to quickly find a god's chosen and take their Devourer's Bracelet so Seraphina and the other Healers' Association Leaders could develop a Vylkr Infusion Armlet for him.
