Chapter 186 Chapter 185-Scroll to Open the Abyss Gate (2nd update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)
John didn't notice the messages from Blue Sea and Adam right away.
At this moment, his attention was entirely focused on the properties of the remaining two items.
One was a dark purple energy gem, emitting a faint glow, and the other was a scroll made of ordinary-looking parchment rolled into a bundle.
[Fallen Angel's Heart (Divine Item): Evolved from the energy core of Fallen Angel Leviathan affected by Dark Erosion, possessing both dark and Holy Light attributes, two completely different characteristics. It can be inlaid in weapon equipment to significantly enhance its properties. However, due to its high rank and immense energy, embedding is extremely difficult, requiring a master-level craftsman or above to accomplish…]
[Enhancement Attributes: +1000 Attack, +1200 Stamina, +1500 Mana, +50% Magic Damage, +50% Physical Damage, +50% Holy Light Affinity, +50% Dark Affinity…]
[Additional Skill: Light-Dark Alternation (Divine Passive Skill), allowing the equipper's attacks to deal an extra 10% Holy Light and 12% Dark magical damage, with a 5% chance of execution against enemies of these attributes…]
John raised an eyebrow slightly, so this energy gem was a Divine Item too?
However, considering Fallen Angel Leviathan's status, he wasn't surprised.
After all, it was a god-tier being, and the energy gem formed from its core was bound to be of a high grade.
He played with the dark purple Fallen Angel's Heart in his hand, fully aware of the vast energy within, not to be taken lightly, even by him.
For John, this energy gem didn't serve a significant purpose since the level of energy within his body had already surpassed that in the gem.
He could freely switch between Holy Light and dark attributes, without needing this gem.
Considering this, auctioning it off seemed like the best choice...
If such a top-tier energy gem were to hit the market, it would undoubtedly incite a mad scramble among the many elite guilds.
After all, the high numerical attributes it offers, along with a passive skill that can add two types of attribute damage, are just too attractive.
These features are enough to make all players overlook the difficulty of successfully embedding this gem.
However, after some careful thought, John still put the energy gem into his backpack.
Now is not the best time to auction it off.
The high difficulty of needing a master-level craftsman for embedding will deter a large portion of players...
As time goes on, this gem will only become more valuable.
After putting away the Fallen Angel's Heart, John's gaze fell on the last item, a scroll.
Compared to the equipment and items, this parchment scroll was what really piqued John's interest.
Because in his divine perception, this unassuming scroll, without any twinkling light, contained the most enormous energy.
Moreover, this energy exuded extreme evil and chaos, clearly not belonging to a lawful or righteous faction.
John held the scroll in both hands and slowly unrolled it, his mind tense, and energy inside his body ready to be unleashed.
He was fully prepared to destroy the scroll on the spot if any energy were to overflow from it.
However, contrary to John's expectations, the unrolling process was unusually calm.
Nothing spilled out, and the evil energy that John sensed remained quietly hidden within the scroll, as if it had fallen into a deep slumber.
[Abyss Gate Scroll (Divine Item): A scroll used to open the abyss passage, requiring the stimulation of ORDER power to unlock. Once opened, it creates a one-way passage to the inner layers of the abyss, lasting for 1 minute. Scroll usage count: 2/3...]
John's brows furrowed slightly. So, this was a scroll to open a passage to the abyss?
No wonder there was no energy leakage; without the input of ORDER power, the scroll would not react at all.
Previously, John had thought that the scroll might have sealed some high-level creature from the abyss.
Now he saw that it wasn't the case.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of John's mouth.
He had been worrying about how to enter the abyss, and now, with this item, things would be much easier.
A trip to the abyss would be inevitable in the future, especially since the core material, Abyssal Mire, needed for Medusa's egg to hatch could only be obtained there.
It's a shame that this item can only be used three times, and Fallen Angel Leviathan has already wasted one use...
Thinking of this, John fell into contemplation once more.
Since Leviathan had previously used the Abyss Gate, why was it then sealed by the God of Holy Light?
It seemed that there were still many secrets he had yet to uncover...
Just as John was deep in thought, there was a sudden knock on the door.
He turned to look, only to see a silver-haired little head cautiously peering in, looking around.
If not Snowla, who else could it be?
John immediately smiled and waved at her.
This little girl's face lit up with joy as she pushed open the door and ran in, sitting beside John, "Galewind big brother, I'm here..."
John's nostrils twitched slightly, and he frowned, asking, "You've been drinking?"
Snowla was immediately embarrassed.
She hadn't expected that despite having several cups of sobering soup, and specifically waiting until the smell of alcohol had dissipated from her body, John would discover it as soon as she arrived.
John asked coolly, "Didn't you say you were at the trading hall? What, do they have a tavern there now?"
Snowla lowered her head, complaining, "I was afraid you wouldn't like it. If it weren't for you, Galewind big brother, I wouldn't have been drinking... Don't you know how worried I've been about you? Hmph, you just threw me out of that place, and I could've helped you!"
John helplessly shook his head.
This little girl couldn't be ignorant of the terrifying abilities of a deity.
The only reason she dared to speak like this was that, as a player, she believed she could respawn even if killed...
But who really knows the extent of a deity's capabilities in the Godslayer world?
What if the Fallen Angel could directly affect the real world?
John wasn't about to risk Snowla on such a possibility...
"Alright, I'll definitely give you a chance to shine in the future," John said with a smile, then pushed the wand on the table towards Snowla, "Here, the item I promised you, I've brought it back..."
Snowla's eyes were immediately drawn to the Godchosen Wand, and she cheered, picking it up.
The moment the Godchosen Wand was in Snowla's hands, a burst of Holy Light erupted and quickly enveloped her.
A holy aura filled the air, and Snowla's demeanor seemed to become even more noble and divine.
"Wow, such amazing attributes, another top-tier legendary equipment, I've really hit the jackpot this time!" Snowla's beautiful eyes curved into crescents as she sweetly looked at John, "Galewind big brother, you've done me such a big favor, how should I thank you?"
John teased with a smile, "How about giving yourself to me as a reward?"
Snowla's smile grew even more charming as she nodded without hesitation, "Okay, okay! Why wait for another day? Let's go get a room right now! I heard that things can get a little spicy in here, not much different from real life. I've never tried anything like this before."
John nearly spat out his tea, looking at her incredulously, "I was just joking! Are you taking me seriously?"
Snowla gave a light humph, pouting, "I knew Galewind big brother was just joking. As expected, you've already grown tired of this old acquaintance... You really are a fickle man, ready to forget old love for new..."
John instantly brought his hand to his forehead, exasperated.
After a moment, John sighed, "You silly girl. How could a noble and rich young heiress like you, the center of everyone's attention, ever take an interest in someone like me?"
He had known Snowla's feelings for him for quite some time.
Having known each other for so long, John was well aware of Snowla's character. The way she led the Black Rose Guild to become one of the top ten guilds in the world at her young age spoke volumes about her abilities.
And Snowla, the guild leader of Black Rose Guild, was notoriously temperamental and fierce, readily cursing anyone who crossed her path. But she was always gentler with John, growing softer each time they met.
What a girl's actions represent at this stage is clear...
And that was exactly what puzzled John.
Their first meeting was in the previous game, where they temporarily teamed up for a quest, and John's performance was nothing extraordinary. But for some reason, Snowla's attitude toward him was different right from that first encounter.
Faced with John's confusion, Snowla smiled sweetly, her eyes filled with a warmth that could melt hearts, "Galewind big brother, how could you ask such a silly question? Do you really need a reason to like someone?"
"The first time we met, you gave me a very different feeling... If you really want to know when I started liking you, it must have been during that quest. The way you looked at me was always so gentle..."
John was at a loss for words.
At that time, he didn't know Snowla's true identity, so during the quest, he treated her like a little sister, taking care of her...
And that led to the situation now.
John gently stroked Snowla's silky silver hair, sighing, "You... always leave me at a loss for words. I just hope you won't regret this..."
Snowla responded firmly, "In my life, there are many things I might do, but regret is not one of them!"
