Chapter 193 - Serena And Ariel's Sacred Treasure?

"Don't worry, These are sacred treasures" He said 

Hearing this, the girls snapped back into reality as Serena asked 

"Sacred treasures?!" 

Ariel looked surprised as well, but remained quiet. It was as if she already knew what they were. 

"Yes, they are sacred treasures." John repeated 

"This isn't something to take lightly..." Muttered Serena 

She was a bit embarrassed from being the only one surprised and began to wonder if her party members even had any desire for money or treasures. 

"I know, I'm very surprised. It's not like this wasn't expected after defeating all of those bosses." Said John 

He used a sarcastic tone which was easily noticeable for Serena 

"You enjoy this, don't you?" She asked 

"I'd be lying if I said I don't." He replied 

After their interaction, Both Serena and Ariel began heading to the weapon which called out to them. 

With each step, the closer they got, the more power they could feel from it. Just from seeing what a sacred treasure alone did to John, The two could tell that this would be something big. 

Once they finally reached their choice, they both quietly stared at. 

After a good few seconds, they both stretched out their arms to grab it, and the instant they did. 

*Crack* 

A Flame spiral was formed around her, spinning at an unimaginable speeds, on top of a Water spiral which also span above her on top of the flame spiral. 

The strange thing about it was that the fire seemed to be merging with the water, without evaporating. Shortly after, the flames began turning white. Excited he began to wonder what would happen next, But before John could see anything else, it suddenly dispersed into the air. 

[It stopped just like mine...? Is there something necessary or cancelling out the activation?] 

John was interrupted by the sound of the tower shaking getting stronger not to a level where everything was falling, but as if it were cracking from the inside out. 

Seeing this, John knew he had to hurry, right as he was about to tell Ariel to pick her's, he noticed that she already did 

And in that instant a small light flash appeared and passed through the whole room in an instant, nearly blinding John or anyone who was watching in the process. 

Shortly after the light was gone, everyone watched as a light mysterious glow surrounded ariel, it looked angelic in a way, if John's guess was correct, that was the holy element in it. 

"What's... That...?" 

There was something creeping around the holy sphere, it didn't seem like it was part of the light. John felt a sense of familiarity with it, as if he knew what it was. But it was hiding itself. 

The strangest part of all of this was how Ariel's wand, changed, colours from a darkish one to a fully light one. 

As if trapped in some sort of daze, the two girls who had their eyes closed, had finally opened them. 

"What... happened?" Serena asked 

She looked down at her hand and noticed that the wand that she had grabbed was on her hand but was surprised by how she didn't feel any different. 

"Hm... Ariel, did you notice anything different?" Serena asked as she looked towards Ariel 

Ariel didn't reply, she seemed like she was asleep and yet her eyes remained open. 

"Ariel...?" Serena called out to her once more 

"Huh? Eh? Yes?" Ariel asked suddenly turning her head left and right in surprise 

"Are you okay?" Serena asked 

Even John took that as a sign of something he should worry about, these two had different awakening times than him. It also took them a while to realise. 

"I-I'm fine!" Ariel replied hastily 

She looked shaken or worried about something, but whatever it was, she was really bad at hiding it. 

"I-Is that so...?" Serena asked 

She didn't look convinced at all, she could also tell that ariel was hiding something. 

"Yes..." Ariel replied 

"Then, did you notice anything off? I feel like my mind shut off after I grabbed the wand... and then suddenly I woke up and it was with me, I can feel a sense of power now, but I don't know... It feels weird." Said Serena as she raised the wand to inspect it 

[She didn't notice the water and fire spiral she created? Does that mean what happened to me wasn't all in my head?] 

"Off... I'm not sure... I also feel a sense of power but... It's like... N-Nevermind..." Said Ariel 

She definitely looked worried about it, and John didn't want to interrupt them but. 

"What's it like?" John asked 

Ariel looked like she didn't want to talk about it, but at the same time, she could tell that John was going to be persistent if she didn't. 

"It's like there was something else there... Hiding away in the light." She muttered 

[That sounds just like... Me...?" 

Hearing this, John didn't know what to do, should he tell her? But what would he even say? 

Suddenly, the shaking in the room leapt in bounds, it was starting to collapse 

*Crash* 

Parts of the ceiling crashed down on the weapons display before the three leapt away from it. 

Without saying anything, everyone knew what they had to do. They all began heading towards the exit, and Master Sylvia who was the first one to reach it, waited for everyone to go past. 

Right before John went past, he turned around to see what was outside of the collapsed ceiling, and the instant he did, he felt even more confused that he had been during their stay at the dungeon 

It looked like he could see stars through one of the holes in the ceilings, as if the room were trapped in some sort of broken-down space in a galaxy. 

But before he could see the rest, Master Sylvia passed through dragging John with her. 

"Wai-" 

The word was cut off as John left the room.
