Chapter 1511 Something Weird Is Happening!!
I got my pillar ready and filled my chariot to the brim with my bones. I was ready to welcome any deadly and ferocious explosion at any moment. And yet nothing of that happened.
*Clang!*
For a first, I heard this muffled sound coming when the glaive touched this bomb. The moment the two touched, I could see this bomb got solidified, and its appearance changed and appeared clearly in my eyes.
It was a diamond shaped giant bomb, one that was at least thrice my current body size. I saw lots of tiny red lamps glaring and shining all over its surface, seemingly doing something or related to how this bomb worked from the inside.
There were a few panels which I knew would light up if I touched them, many buttons at a few places in between these panels, and a lot of threads coming in and out from this bomb.
It looked like any bomb I imagined, a bit weird than what I imagined though. "Time to see if I can take it with me," I got the courage to go closer and touch it with my hand, and yet didn't dare to let go of my pillar.
I just stored away my glaive as I didn't need it anymore.
"It's… Warm!" the moment I touched it, I felt like touching a warm piece of rock. It got a metallic surface, and felt like it was just unearthed from a mine or something.
"Come here then," I tried to pull it, and it followed my will without any resistance or traps getting triggered. Even when I placed it over my chariot, on my bones, nothing happened.
"Phew!" I looked at the bomb I just collected and recalled how strangely light it was. "He told me to just bring one and leave back. But doing so will greatly slow me down," I didn't want to do it his way.
And so I started to move around, getting more bombs and storing them all on my chariot.
I tried to suck them using my cube. If it worked, then things would be quite easy to do. But unlikely for me, the cube's irresistible power seemed to struggle here.
"Tsk! Fine, I'll just store them in my chariot and leave once it's filled," I even tried to store them inside my inventory, but failed.
"Something seems off!" It took me a few hours to gather around a thousand pieces of these bombs. It was supposed to fill my chariot to the brim, but for a reason I didn't know, it felt like there was still enough space for a couple hundred more.
"Perhaps I mistook my chariot's ability to carry them," I shrugged, kept working again for a few more hours, and yet the chariot never got filled.
I looked around, feeling that something seemed to be off here. I wanted to leave here, get rid of all these bombs, yet unexplained warnings alarmed in my mind.
Something great was on the verge of getting missed by me if I dared to leave!
So instead I kept working here. Luckily for me, the staff worked, and I could store bookmarks here quite easily.
But this time I just didn't jump around or move fast and collected bombs. I started to focus on the ones on my chariot, trying to unravel this mystery.
"This…" and after just half an hour, I finally saw something weird!
The bombs I got early on were getting dimmer on a slower rate than others. I didn't notice any of that at first, but soon I started to clearly spot all this.
And that wasn't all!
On a closer inspection and watch, I finally spotted something unbelievable!
I left these bombs over the surface of my chariot that was already covered up with bones.
And just now, the oldest gathered bombs kept dimming until their red light all got extinguished. And when that happened, they all shrank, turned into some sort of red and black liquid, and that got absorbed by my bones.
Yes, you heard me quite right, my bones got to absorb all these bombs!
Just to make sure I wouldn't face a deadly threat, I made sure to take out high grade dark realm bones.
They were the ones with the highest amount of energy. I wanted to use the Holy Ones bones, but refrained from doing so.
I didn't get enough to waste on this. So instead I took red, black, purple, and orange grade bones out from the dark realm stack I got.
And for a reason I couldn't tell, these bones reacted in such a mysterious way, ending up absorbing the energy inside these bombs, absorbing the entire bombs in the end.
How come this happened? I couldn't tell! But as things turned out this way, I started to watch closer and determine a few things.
First I tried to see what type of bones instigated such change. And while I was watching, I noticed that the weak levelled bones were the ones who did this, not like what I expected.
The black and red grades only flared and absorbed this fluid, seemingly the one which affected the bombs. As for the purple and orange, they didn't do anything at all.
"Ok, time to test this over the lower grade bones then…" I waited till all of the bombs got absorbed and vanished, wasting almost half a day in doing so.
I didn't care about losing any time, and kept using it to determine another thing.
I wanted to see how long a single bomb would take to get absorbed. To do so, I took a few new bombs, and watched them take five to seven hours to vanish.
Seeing this made me realise there was a time variation, and it might be related to the grade of bones down there.
"Coma back," once all the bombs got absorbed, I moved and got back all the bones inside, releasing the low grade green, blue, and silver grade dark realm bones that formed most of my entire dark realm bone wealth inside my inventory.
