Chapter 143 Memory Beads Again!
Chapter 143 Memory Beads Again!
“Let’s see… Hmm…” I opened my class interface and scanned the list of souls I got. If I killed that Curasee then I’d have his soul inside the list.
“Oh, you aren’t dead yet!” but when I didn’t find the name of his race in the list, my eyes shone in cold light.
Damn! How hard it was to kill such a race?!
“It was a nice idea to keep hidden here,” I said while simply calling my chariot here, “but it isn’t enough to trick me. Let’s kill you once and for all.”
My chariot came in the next moment and I simply moved away while calling my warriors to stand down. “Fire!” without holding back I shifted my chariot to the fully powered version and then used the energy pulse attack on this dude.
*Boom!*
A massive explosion occurred. My chariot pulse wave clashed violently against the dark green energy of that Curasee. The fight continued for one whole minute before the green energy shield was crushed open and then my pulse wave attack landed over the Curasee.
“Ahhhhh!”
A blood curdling scream came from his throat even when he was in such deep sleep. The scream was so loud at first but rapidly weakened until it vanished.
[You slain a cursed race]
[You got one favour point from the creators of the apocalypse]
[Keep the good work]
What the f*ck was that?!! I looked at the couple of messages without knowing what to say.
The creators of the apocalypse? Were they the mysterious beings behind that created all that mess?
And what was that favour point even meant? I was at a loss for a second before closing the window and looked at the dead Cruise.
“What will I find in your inventory dude?” my eyes sparkled while I placed my hand over its body and waited.
This time it took five entire minutes until a message popped up in front of my eyes.
[The first seal was broken off the inventory of the cursed Curasee race. Four more seals are still remaining]
[You don’t have the privilege to unlock the remaining seals]
[Only twenty percent of the inventory are added to yours]
[The body of the killed Curasee race can be kept in your inventory for later usage]
“What the hell…!!”
Another weird thing happened. What was wrong exactly with that race?
I thought of taking it into my inventory and it worked. “Damn! I never thought I’d store a dead body in my inventory before!” This was totally unheard of. But it already happened.
“Let’s check the inventory then,” I opened my inventory with no expectations. But the moment I saw the weird things I got there, I couldn’t help but frown again.
“Seal of curse level one… Seal of dam level two… Seal of stealth level two… What are these things?!”
I found a half dozen of such weird named seals inside my inventory. As I took one out and tried to examine it, I got this weirder message.
[You can’t view the info of the seal]
[The seal requires a member of a cursed race to use it]
“What the f*ck?!!!” I was almost about to throw it away and empty my inventory of these useless things before another message popped up and stopped me.
[You have the favour of the creators of the apocalypse]
[You can use this seal by binding it to something in the process of making it]
[The details of how to use it will appear to you when time is right]
“This…” I calmed myself for a second while looking at this seal in my hand. It was in the form of a flat, half palm sized black orb with a flashing pattern on its surface.
It was engraved so deep in faint dots that came to form a shape of a whirlpool. It was similar to what was on the skin of that Curasee kid.
“Seal of curse of wrath… does that mean…” an idea popped up in my mind, an idea that changed my vision towards this item.
Would it have the ability to give such a wrath ability to weapons I make? If that is so… then…
I looked at my inventory again and this time I didn’t have any slight intention to throw them away like before. If what I thought about was right, then I might be able to make weapons that were heaven defying.
If I made weapons that could add such cool boosts to their wielders… then I could start thinking about making my elite force out of humans.
But the questions here were… Would that be true? And how many times I could use a single token of these?
I had around a hundred of each seal in my inventory. If each one was used for one time then my plan couldn’t be real.
Six hundred augmented gears wouldn’t be enough to arm a hundred forcefully. But if each token could be used more than once then things would be different.
“It’s not an issue I could decide for now,” I stored this Seal inside my inventory for now, “besides I still got four more tries to get everything out of that cursed bastard. If he has more of these then I can arm a five hundred force in the worst cases.”
I started to climb back while leaving my warriors to resume their mission. If they kept on this rate, then they’d take almost the entire time of the second quest to scrap everything from this behemoth.
As I returned to my chariot, I operated it as the middle powered version before heading back to the group. They were still eating and having fun down there.
Alright… now it was all calm and peaceful enough to consider my next move.
From the words of Fang I could say my next opponent was a big wall blocking my path. How would I kill him then?
“I need more info about archlords and their abilities…” I was lost in thought while my chariot landed just hundred metres away from the team.
“Let’s check the beads of memory then,” since I got them, I only used the free time and didn’t check it again.
I didn’t have time to do that, and didn’t have something I didn’t understand before. I opened the bead record from my profile and scrolled through the large list of its content.
Would I find something about it?
“The god shrines… The pantheons of gods and their differences… Conflicts inside the same pantheons… Damn! Every single one of them is a must to listen!”
Unlike what I wanted to find, my eyes fell over names that I wanted to hear. I never expected the old man to know even about the inner conflicts between gods.
It was the same problem I was facing right now. I needed to open these records and listen to all of them.
“Each cost one million coins to open… Not a problem…” Despite having the ability and desire to check them now, I decided to first look for the archlord record first.
“Let’s see… Hmm… That’s a section regarding enemies in the apocalypse… Selvator race basic info… Selvator race intermediate info… Elevator race advanced info… Things to watch out for from Selvators… Damn!”
He left me detailed records regarding each race. Well, I never expected the beads to have such immense and valuable information before. I had to watch them all.
It was great to have one entire week of rest in this quest. I only would move out to hit that dragon where it hurt, hopefully killing him or at least clearing most of his elites out of the picture.
But to do so I needed more info about his rank first. I skipped all the records regarding races as I already knew a lot about them.
“General knowledge about enemy ranking order… all info regarding Sons of heaven… All info regarding paragons… All info… yes, here it is…” my eyes flashed when I read a record name.
“All the info about the archlords… Let’s open it.”
[One million coins are needed to view this record from the memory beads. Do you want to pay them?]
“Pay!”
[One million coins are deducted]
[You are viewing the record now]
[You can view the record later for free]
“Hi Hye…” the next moment the face of the old man appeared. To me it seemed like an entire lifetime passed since my last meeting with him.
Old man… Thanks for everything you did for me, I was truly and honestly appreciating this great chance you gave me.
“As I told you before in the record regarding the general ranking of the enemy forces… Archlords come as the third lowest rank in the entire pyramid…”
He started to speak and the more he did, the more I got absorbed and totally lost track with time. After he finished I couldn’t believe that he lasted for six straight hours speaking.
But damn! Everything he said was new to my ears!!!
“You finally woke up!” Just as I stretched my arms, I heard the soft voice of Karoline.
“Oh, you were waiting for me all this time?” I turned to her with an apologetic look. But unlike what I expected, she wasn’t alone.
That damn jumper was standing next to her. He leant over the edge of the chariot, giving me a deep gaze.
“I thought you were so tired from sleeping while standing,” he threw another silly comment that made me scoff in return.
“What are you doing here?” I ignored Karoline and rudely spoke to him.
“Can’t I wait for you?” he shrugged, “or should I be with long hair and tits to see a smiling expression on your face?”
“Shut up!” I was tempted to screw him and tell his secret to Karoline, but I was better than him. I controlled my anger and waved at him, “go, scream and sleep at any bed downstairs and leave me alone.”
“Then I’ll take her with me,” he said in an evil tone that got a glaring look back from me.
“I dare you try,” I was at my patience limit here. Damn him! All the good feeling I had from listening to the old man’s wise words and seeing Karoline’s pretty face next vaporised in thin air!
Damn this dude! Who was he? A joy smasher or something?!
“Humph,” he gave me a snort, “you know if I heard anything abnormal then I’d crash into that room without excuse.”
“I’ll leave a souler guarding it,” I said while waving my hand as if I was throwing a rock at him.
“A souler won’t dare to touch me before he’ll die!”
“Then I’ll ban you from my chariot,” I coldly snorted, “let’s see how you are going to stay a single moment in here.”
“Humph, I warned you,” he turned his back and left.
“And I warned you back!” I shouted at him and all I got was his middle finger raised in the air.
“What were you two talking about just now?”
Out of the blue Karoline’s soft voice made my face turn all red. Damn! I totally forgot she was here all this time!! Damn!!!
“It’s nothing,” I shrugged while putting a calm smile on my face. “Are you tired? Do you want to sleep?”
Her all red face told me she got what I talked about with that bastard. Her eyes evaded mine, and even she lowered her face and looked at the ground like a little shy girl.
Damn girl! Don’t give me such a look or I’d be more tempted to eat you up!
“I…”
“Let’s go then,” without waiting for her to answer, I grabbed her arm and pulled her towards the stairs in a gentle way. I could already feel her body trembling from my touch. Damn! That even got me hyped up!!!
“I also need to have some rest,” I only said that and I saw her lower her head till her chin got glued to her chest and her trembling body kept increasing without pause.
