Chapter 918 Capturing The Vylkr Artefact

??Orion nodded and said, "I have a way to capture and hold him down!" He yelled back.

He wanted to try pouring his blood on the Vylkr artefact to see if it would enable him to claim ownership of it. He would have to find another way to bring it down if that didn't work.

Stronghold Leader Zogar nodded with a broad smile on his face. He vanished from his position and immediately appeared before the Vylkr artefact. Then, he wrapped his arms around its body, securely holding it in place, and unleashed all his lightning upon it.

Numerous powerful lightning bolts erupted from him, piercing the sky and the earth below.

CRACCCKLLEEE!!! BOOOMMM!!

The Vylkr artefact was electrocuted, instantly becoming motionless again.

Orion saw an opportunity and reverted back to his human form. He cut his palm to draw blood and then approached the Vylkr artefact, which was being held down by Stronghold leader Zogar. He placed his bloodied hand on the back of the Vylkr artefact, ensuring that its entire back and head were dyed with his blood.

After a few seconds, Orion flew backwards to observe what would happen and signalled for Stronghold Leader Zogar to do the same.

Stronghold Leader Zogar released his grip on the artefact and distanced himself, staying on high alert in case anything went wrong.

The Vylkr artefact began to tremble before coming to a halt and slowly converging back into a large ball with a shimmering, translucent surface. However, this time, its surface was calm without any waves forming.

A mark detailing a small, inky black puppet with its limbs outstretched was suddenly imprinted on Orion's right chest. In the same way as all of his other divine artefacts, a strong mental link was formed between him and the Vylkr artefact.

Just as Aerialia had informed him, an influx of information detailing vital information about the Vylkr artefact before him surged into his mind, allowing him to understand the difference between naturally formed artefacts and artefacts created by divine beings or mortals.

"It worked. The Vylkr artefact is now under my control," Orion announced, shifting his attention towards Stronghold Leader Zogar.

Stronghold Leader Zogar sighed in relief. He vanished from his position and appeared beside Orion. "So, it's really an artefact," he remarked.

Orion nodded in response.

"So, what else can it do? I'm curious," Stronghold Leader Zogar asked, his eyes fixed on the Vylkr artefact.

"The Vylkr artefact is a puppet that can transform its shape and structure at will. It can morph into weapons, mimic other objects, alter its size and appearance, and even change its density and composition to serve different purposes. I have just received all the information I need to know about it into my mind. As for anything else, I need to first give it a name and uncover the depths of its capabilities," Orion explained with a pondering expression.

Hearing Orion's explanation, Stronghold Leader Zogar's eyes widened in shock. "So powerful," he responded, surprised by the Vylkr artefact's robust capabilities.

Orion nodded in response. The Divine Crimson Greatsword, forged by Aerialia as a part of her very being, could cut through anything. The mountain, refined by Aegis of the Arctic Deity, had immense defensive capabilities and was a portable wallet.

Therefore, he wasn't surprised by its capabilities for a Vylkr artefact that had caused such a stir.

Orion wondered if the Vylkr spawns or their clash with the Aegis of the Arctic had influenced the Vylkr artefact to develop in this way.

"Its strength rivalled that of a Five-star warrior, coupled with its capabilities. With this, our reconnection with the outside world is more reassuring. Of course, that is if we don't encounter any gods," Stronghold Leader Zogar responded, his expression solemn.

"We'll just have to be careful and keep our emergence as subtle as possible until we gain a foothold. Let's head back," Orion responded, summoning the Vylkr artefact into its mark before turning around and heading back to their floating territory.

Stronghold Leader Zogar followed behind him. They successfully passed through the Primordial barrier, making Orion sigh in relief and finally relax his tense mind.

They soon arrived before Stronghold Leader Seth and Fifi, who had been patiently waiting for them at the top of the Second Border Walls.

Upon their arrival, Fifi swiftly bombarded them with multiple questions before Stronghold Leader Seth could utter a word. "What was going on up there? Did you encounter any enemies? Did you manage to get the Vylkr artefact?" Fifi's concerned gaze was fixed on Orion and Stronghold Leader Zogar.

Orion knew their battle had caused a tremendous ruckus in their surroundings, so he wasn't surprised by Fifi's concerns. "Although we encountered a few challenges, we have successfully obtained the Vylkr artefact," Orion responded, bringing out the Vylkr artefact.

The 1.8(6ft) meter-tall humanoid Vylkr artefact suddenly appeared next to Orion, startling Fifi and Stronghold Leader Seth. Their bodies tensed with caution.

"Is this the Vylkr artefact? Did you fight with this?" Fifi asked, her eyes widening as she scrutinised the Vylkr artefact with heightened senses.

"Yes, although it was incredibly powerful, Stronghold Leader Zogar and I were able to hold our own against it and subdue it," Orion replied.

"Its strength was equivalent to that of a Five-star warrior, but we were still-" Stronghold Leader Zogar started; however, before he could finish his sentence, Stronghold Leader Seth interjected, "Five-star warrior!" his eyes fixed on the humanoid Vylkr artefact in horror.

Even Fifi couldn't help but be momentarily stunned upon hearing his words.

Stronghold Leader Zogar nodded solemnly. "I was surprised too at the beginning; however, with the Vylkr artefact by our side, our territory now has two five-star Vylkr star warriors protecting it," he responded.

Stronghold Leader Seth inwardly gulped as Stronghold Leader Zogar confirmed his words again. He had previously tried to push the thought of missing the chance to become a five-star warrior earlier away. Yet, he was reminded once more that his strength steadily became insufficient as the territory developed.

He tightened his fists as his raging emotions flowed through him again. He resolved to quickly find a god's chosen and take their Devourer's Bracelet so Seraphina and the other Healers' Association Leaders could develop a Vylkr Infusion Armlet for him.
