Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Return of the Sins of Spirits
The Necromancer brought out an old jar that looked like it could shatter at any moment. It appeared as if it could shatter with the slightest of force, with nothing remarkable to note.
However, in the description of the item, Eren saw something else entirely. It was not a cheap item.
If anything, it was an item that was in the same tier as his pendant series reward. It was a unique tier item, which meant there was only one of these in existence at a time.
Unlike his unique items, the Jar was not something that was bound to someone. Anyone could use the Jar of Spirits as it actually had no owner.
***************************
Item Name: Jar of Abandoned Spirit
Rank: Unique Tier
Durability: 10/100
Description: An item created by the first spirit queen to protect her human lover from the wrath of her own people after her death.
Once activated, all the Spirit Essence up to a hundred thousand kilometers is suppressed, and made unable to be used.
Cooldown: 0/656 Days
***************************
In the real world, the Jar of Abandoned Spirit was mostly useless.
The Spirit Essence was not used by anyone other than the Spirits, so suppressing it was useless unless the Spirits were targeting someone in the real world.
The item that seemed mostly useless in the real world was the most terrifying weapon in the Spirit Realm, as the Spirit Essence was everything for the Spirits.
Meanwhile, the Necromancer didn't need it in the least. All he cared about were his mana reserve which was unaffected by the artifact.
"Since it doesn't affect mana, that should be quite beneficial for me as well."
Eren was more relaxed when he read the description of the Jar. With that, he was certain the third condition was going to be fulfilled soon as well.
"You!" The Spirit Queen recognised the Jar.
Although she had not seen it personally in the past, there was no way for her to not recognise something made by the first Spirit Queen, who was the originator of them all.
This jar was a relic of their shameful past, that she could not forget. It had been lost for a long time, but she didn't expect to see this once again.
"Why would you...?"
As soon as the Jar was brought out, the surrounding spirit essence was greedily being absorbed by its shell.
The Spirit Queen attacked the Jar to stop it from completely activating. A barrage of attack flew towards the Necromancer. The other Spirit Warriors did the same.
The combined attack looked powerful enough to destroy multiple kingdoms in the blink of an eye. The surroundings turned brighter with all the attacks, making it impossible to properly see anything.
"Kek." Seeing the attacks coming from every side, the Necromancer didn't appear intimidated. He didn't switch his body this time. He simply removed the old lid from the Jar.
With that, the Jar of Abandoned Spirits was completely activated, and the absorption of Spirit Essence increased to an unbelievable extent, as if the Jar was devouring everything in its surroundings and keeping it in the infinite space within.
The attacks of the Spirits were also made from the Spirit Essence, which was the building block of their power. The Jar didn't differentiate between ordinary spirit essence and the one used for attacks.
The attacks changed direction, influenced by the Jar which started turning them back to pure spirit essence.
One after another, the attacks missed the Necromancer and entered the Jar of Abandoned Spirits.
The bright light soon disappeared, and the Necromancer still stood completely fine. Instead, it was the Spirit Warriors that started falling from the sky, one after another.
The Spirit Queen was able to resist for a light longer, but even she felt suffocated. Even the Spirit Essence she had gathered to fight was being devoured by the Jar from her body.
"Isn't it beautiful?" The Necromancer laughed, watching the Spirit Warriors fall like shooting stars. "It is as if your sins from the past have returned to haunt you."
It was a beautiful sight to see for him.
"Because the Spirits looked down on humans, they didn't appreciate the fact that a human was selected by the Spirit Queen as her husband."
He looked at the cracked jar, which hid a long forgotten past of the Spirits, his fingers caressing it gently.
"They betrayed their own Queen, who brought them into this world, all because they didn't agree with her decision. It was all for such a futile thing..."
For the first time, he looked a little out of place, as if he was observing his cherished possession.
"Even at the moment of her death, she had enough strength to turn this world to hell. But she didn't. She used this thing instead, to protect her lover."
"She forcefully sent her lover to the human world with this jar. Even when she died, she didn't hate anyone..."
Felona's flight also became unstable as she fell from the sky like a shooting star. Fortunately, she managed to land on her feet.
"How do you know all that?" she asked the Necromancer, with the world turning void of the spirit essence.
"Do you really need to ask that?" A figure softly landed behind Felona, surprising her. "It is because..."
With the three conditions finally being satisfied, Eren descended from the third island, holding Resphi and Estelina in his arms.
They weren't as capable as their mother. Then if they wouldn't have died during their fall, they could still get hurt without the protection of Spirit Essence.
Fortunately, he protected them during his descent.
"Huh? It's impossible!" Felona exclaimed in disbelief to Eren's words.
.....
Back in the Necromancer Tower, there existed a room surrounded by death. A person sat inside the room, lost in thoughts.
"To think that he took the Jar of Abandoned Spirits... And his obsession with going there personally... It seems he remembered everything."
The scary silence was soon broken as a few words were spoken. "What a pity…"
