Chapter 330 Suspicious
The old leader smiled as he had already expected this request. The Seventh Disciple of the Tower Lord was known for being blind. There is also the Sixth Disciple but that person seems to have never left the First Tower and was being trained there every single day.
"Very well.."
He immediately gave a glass jar to Vincent that is necessary to get the Magic God to agree to his request.
"Hold this with your left hand. Hold the Immortal Stone with your right hand and kneel in front of the altar and call for the Magic God while imbuing your mana into the Immortal Stone."
The old man instructed.
Well, Vincent had actually received a notification from his system that he could connect to the altar even without kneeling at all. Nevertheless, he knows that he still has to do it since all of them were watching him.
He can't appear too suspicious.
Anyway, this Immortal Stone seems to have the same effect as the Memory Connection Stone but it's a bit better considering how it could allow anyone to directly communicate with the deity connected to the altar.
Vincent thought of immediately imbuing his mana to the Immortal Stone but he suddenly thought of appraising the glass jar first. After all, once his request was fulfilled by the Magic God, the contents of the jar will dissipate and he would no longer have the chance of checking it again.
[ Do you want to Appraise the item? ]
'Yes..'
[ You have discovered a jar containing a Damaged Beast's Eyeball ]
[ Damaged Beast's Eyeball ]
[ Quality: Common
Number of Enhancements: 0/10
Durability: 3/19
Description: An eyeball soaked with an unknown liquid that prevents anyone from appraising using a low-level skill. It is inedible.
Remarks: An item with an unknown purpose. Every successful enhancement will improve its durability. ]
'What? A common item?' Vincent found this really unexpected. It was a good thing that he managed to control his expression after reading the appraisal result.
He was expecting some high-level material to be used to grant his request to the Magic God.. After all, it's not easy to remove the seal made by that blond goddess. He even had to raise the Moonbreaker Potion's quality from Middle to Peak aside from making it a +10 item.
Vincent wondered as he found this quite suspicious.
'Perhaps he wanted me to fail and become a laughingstock for everyone.. Ugh..'
Although Vincent didn't mind getting mocked in case he failed, he didn't want it to happen because he was sabotaged.
Unfortunately, he can't really complain right now since he might have been mistaken as well. Perhaps this is really the requirement for this ritual.
'Tsk... Whatever.. Let's meet this magic god first..'
He can only trust them for now. He briefly glanced at Luna who was still seated beside Nina before he followed their instruction.
As soon as he imbued his energy to the Immortal Stone, he immediately felt his eyes throb.. It wasn't painful but he feels that it was related to the seal placed on his body!
Whom~
His mind was suddenly taken away..
'Hmmm.. What's this place?'
His consciousness, or maybe his soul, arrived on a floating island.. It is completely different from the goddess' place when he previously use the altar from the Zemin Clan.
"Ahh? What's going on?"historical
Suddenly, the surrounding space distorted as the place he was brought to started crumbling.. The floating island and the sky started breaking into many pieces..
'This is dangerous!'
He wanted to get away as he felt that he would also be shattered by the distortion if he decided not to move.. However, where else would he go?!
It was as if this whole dimension didn't like this arrival and started to self-destruct!
'Not good.. This isn't part of my plan.. I can't use my items here..' Since only his incorporeal body has arrived, there was no way to trigger the use of his weapon..
No, perhaps he can try using the System Inventory here!
As he was about to try and pull out an item from his inventory, Vincent felt warm energy wrapping up on his body as he felt safe from the destruction that is happening around him..
'What now?' He was confused for a moment but luckily, his question was immediately answered.
In the next second, he found himself in a familiar place where he met the blond goddess who had taken his vision..
'Did she interfere?' Vincent thought as he looked at the figure in front of him.
This blonde goddess was showing her back to him as she seem to be observing the small tree that had grown in her space.
She still has the same sacred aura around her and her beautiful figure remains the same.
"What did you do this time?" It was the goddess who asked.
Her voice seem tired as she finally looked at Vincent. Her eyes no longer show the previous brightness that he had seen before as she seem to have exhausted her strength.
"Huh? I'm... I'm just trying to get rid of the seal on my body.. I was told I can meet the Magic God to fulfill it.. However, I was brought here instead.. Are you the magic god?"
Vincent doubted that she was the magic god but he still needs to ask.
"I'm not the magic god.."
She answered weakly as she shook her head followed by a sigh..
"Did I do something wrong?" Vincent couldn't help but ask. For some reason, he felt that the goddess was disappointed in him!
He felt a bit bad about it but after recalling that she was the one who blinded him, he immediately composed himself. Although she seem to have a good intention for sealing his eyes, she still did it without his permission.
The blonde goddess seem to have read his thoughts as she glared at him.
"That place where you were brought into was a trap.. if I didn't pull you out in time, your consciousness will be trapped there forever while another being will possess your body.."
"W-what?" Vincent was shocked.
If what she's saying is real, then his visit here was really a trap!
