YM778.TV Chapter 672 The Vault
The guy breathed heavily while staring in disbelief at the Golem\'s motionless body as silence hung over the cave for a while.
"Did I really do it...?" The guy muttered with a dazed look as he stared at the shattered crystal.
Whooooooosh.
At the same time a small, blue glow flew out of the Golem\'s body as though a star was floating in the air.
"Wow... Is that the Soul?" The guy uttered as his eyes sparkled.
"Yes." Karia said since the dark chains disappeared, "This Golem was unusual, it was much stronger than the others, but you still handled it. Go ahead, it\'s your Soul, you did well."
The guy nodded as he headed toward the soul with his hand outstretched.
"Huh, it looks like there\'s nothing more for us to do here." Wain said and headed for the exit with a wave of his coat as a sly smile formed on his face.
"Yeah. There are a lot of cowards, but there are always people like this guy, so as long as people like this keep coming, Last Light will continue to evolve." Zero muttered with a serious look before following Wain.
Gisle remained in place for a while as he with a slight smile on his face looked at a guy that was getting his first soul.
\'Well, maybe I was too pessimistic. This guy definitely made my day, so I just can\'t get past it.\' Gisle inwardly mouthed as his ring glowed brightly.
"I\'m finally going to do it..." The guy muttered in a trembling voice as the blue soul turned into a stream of energy.
Whoooooooosh.
At the same time, a light stream of wind formed and an azure sword with an incredibly sharp blade appeared in front of him.
"Ah? What is that?" The guy uttered while in confusion.
"Damn! You\'re pretty lucky!" Karia exclaimed with a dazed look, "Sometimes when you absorb a Soul, you can get an item or a skill. Look, it should be written in the messages."
The guy nodded, but after a few seconds, his eyes widened, \'But... There\'s no such message...\'
...
"Hey, Gisle, how long can we wait for you?" Zero uttered with a disgruntled look as she crossed her arms in front of her while standing at the Dungeon exit.
"Sorry, I got held up a bit." Gisle said with a slight smile on her face as she exited the cave.
"This is one of the training Dungeons, right?" Wain asked while looking at the people.
"Yeah. We\'ve divided the Dungeons into three categories." Gisle said as he held up three fingers, "For training fighters, for beginners that have to activate their Soul Altar, and my favorite, the third type, for earning souls!"
Zero\'s eyes widened as she muttered, "Damn, given the size of the territories Last Light must have a huge number of Dungeons under control, right?"
"Sure. Considering the ones in our allies\' territories, we currently have access to 673 different Dungeons. Unfortunately, there are only a few Fourth Chronicle Dungeons, but that\'s enough to get a lot of souls every day!" Gisle exclaimed with an exciting look.
"Maybe you can show us this?" Wain asked as he shook his hand.
"Huh, you want to visit the vault of Last Light? Fine, there\'s your share of Zero\'s just waiting there." Gisle said before heading towards Guir.
"Hmm? My share?" Wain and Zero asked at the same time.
"I\'ll tell you later." Gisle muttered while waving his hand.
...
A moment later, all of them, on Guir flew toward the massive waterfall that was behind Merge Island. Guir landed near the entrance to the cave that was behind the fast-flowing stream of water.
"The cave behind the waterfall is beautiful but quite unoriginal." Wain said while shaking his head.
"Huh, it\'s a repository for all our souls, so the most important thing here is safety. It\'s a convenient place since it\'s close to the main base and at the same time pretty close to Vrifal." Gisle uttered as he approached the massive gate.
The gate was circular and completely blocked the passage beyond. They bore many different ancient runes as well as magical circles that provided solid protection.
A lotus amulet appeared in Gisle\'s hand as he inserted it into the center of the gate as though the missing piece.
Crackle.
The gate shone brightly and a multitude of magical circles appeared around Gisle, like scanners passed through it, so after only a moment the gate began to open.
"Wow, that defense system is impressive." Wain muttered with a surprised look.
"Sure. The one who installed it is the best at building barriers, at least of anyone I know." Gisle said before going inside.
They walked for some time through the long tunnel as torches on the walls lit up with each step they took. Gradually they reached another gate that was much larger than the previous ones.
Gisle opened the gate, stepped forward, and with his arms outstretched to his sides said, "Welcome to the Soul Vault of Last Light.
Ahead was a wide chasm from which a bright light emanated. At the edge of the chasm, someone was sitting down with a pensive look. It was a man with short purple hair, dark deep eyes, and a white mantle that was slowly fluttering because of the energy flows coming from the abyss.
The man turned as several massive lotus petals appeared beside him.
"Ah... Gisle, it\'s you..." Felix muttered in a careless manner, then his eyes widened, "Wain and Zero...? Huh, I can\'t even remember the last time I saw either of you."
"Felix...?" Wain uttered with a confused look, "Aren\'t you the head of one of the strongest families in Vrifal?"
"Well... Leon is doing a great job, also I\'m the only one who can create a better protective barrier for the vault." Felix said in a calm voice.
"So... Do you also protect this place?" Zero asked as she raised her eyebrows.
"No... This place is well enough protected, there is no need for guards, but since besides Gisle, I\'m the only one who can get in here, I enjoy this incredible sight." Felix muttered as he looked into the abyss, "Come here, look."
