Chapter 243 242: Confusion
He knew that if he was able to leave the treasury in one piece, he would become stronger. He would gain strength he desperately needed.
A few moments later, Corey stood in front of multiple shelves that held countless skill crystals, ancient looking scrolls, and tomes.
Corey's eyes shined as he looked at the shelves.
He looked at the skill crystal, then his gaze shifted to the scrolls and tomes.
He activated his Eyes of Omniscience and the glint of excitement in Corey's eyes grew. His gaze moved from a skill crystal to a scroll, then a tome. He continued inspecting the objects on the shelves for a few seconds, then he exhaled softly.
'Some scrolls and tomes emit an aura that gives me chills.'
Corey frowned as he looked at some scrolls and tomes that made his instincts scream at him. Even when he looked at the Demonic Sabers, he never felt danger.
But this.
This made him wary of what abilities the tomes and scrolls would possess.
Although, he was curious about what abilities the scrolls and tomes possessed, Corey would rather not risk his life just because of his greed.
Corey looked away from the scrolls and tomes which gave him the chills, and he walked to an unremarkable looking scroll.
His brows furrowed as he looked at the scroll, and a confused glint emerged in his eyes.
'This scroll is emitting the same aura as that strange key, the colossal creature in the black sea, and Rhea.'
Corey's frown deepened when he realized that he had encountered two objects in the treasury which were most likely related to Rhea and the colossal creature in the black sea.
'What's this by the way?'
Corey's gaze shifted to the plaque that held the description of the scroll.
[Obscura Force: No other information asides from the name written on the scroll could be gotten from the scroll.]
Corey raised his brows in surprise as he looked at the information written on the scroll.
This was the second time he had seen something similar to what was written on the plaque. Just like the golden necklace, the appraisers could not obtain information on the scroll.
Corey did not know what skill the scroll possessed, but he didn't care.
Since the scroll had the possibility of being related to Rhea, he was still going to take it.
Corey placed his card before the barrier, and a second later, the barrier disappeared. His Tri-Pupil Eyes glowed and the scroll disappeared.
He looked around for a few seconds, then he walked to another shelf.
This shelf was the shelf that possessed multiple scrolls and tomes that gave Corey goosebumps. It was also the shelf that emitted the highest concentration of energy.
He stopped a few meters from the shelf, and he looked around.
A few seconds later, his eyes widened in surprise as he gazed at two grey crystals which emitted no aura.
'HAHAHAHAHA!'
'Skill Evolution Crystals!'
Corey almost laughed out loud when he realized that the two grey crystals were precisely skill evolution crystals which the Wandering Paragon- The old man, gave him.
He had used the skill evolution crystal on his talent skill- Record, and the qualitative change on Record had been extremely useful to Corey.
He didn't think he would ever find another skill evolution crystal since he guessed that the crystals must be very rare.
But surprisingly, the Underworld had two in their treasury.
Corey placed his card in front of the barrier, and without hesitation, he transferred the two skill evolution crystals into his Tri-Pupil Eyes.
'Just these two skill evolution crystals were worth coming to the treasury.'
Corey had a wide grin on his face as he looked at the previous spot of the skill evolution crystals. He looked around with a greedy glint in his eyes, and a few seconds later, he walked to a certain part of the shelf which had scrolls and tomes that emitted an ominous energy.
Although, the energy around these scrolls and tomes were ominous, they were as not as ominous as the Demonic Sabers, talk less of the scrolls and tomes that gave Corey the chills.
He gazed at two ancient looking tomes and a scroll.
His gaze shifted from the tomes and scroll to the plaque beneath the first tome.
[Cognitum Erasure: This tome contains a forbidden power that can erase specific memories and knowledge from individuals, altering their understanding of the world.]
Corey raised his brows as he read the description of the first tome. He was shocked that such a useful skill would be left in the treasury and not be taken by the non-residents of the Underworld.
He was sure that the skill was a very useful skill for anybody, but despite this, the tome was left in the treasury.
After thinking about it, Corey guessed that the skill probably had a huge drawback like the Demonic Sabers.
Though, he could not help but wonder why the drawback was not added to the plaque.
'Whatever. I'll still keep the skill. I can study it later.'
Corey shrugged, then he transferred the tome to his Tri-Pupil Eyes.
His gaze moved to the plaque underneath the second tome.
[Soul Entropy: A forbidden skill that accelerates the decay of a person's essence, shortening their life span. Has the potential to affect an individual's soul.]
Corey stroked his chin as he looked at the tome with slightly furrowed brows.
'I don't get.'
'These skills are clearly powerful and useful skills. But why are they left here?'
'Why isn't anybody interested in them?'
Corey looked at the tome for a few seconds, then he transferred the tome to his Tri-Pupil Eyes.
'It doesn't matter. I'll still take these tomes regardless of the reason for them being left out here.'
'I can study them later.'
Corey thought, then he looked at the last scroll which had piqued his interest. His gaze shifted to the plaque.
[Painful Echo: This scroll contains a sinister skill where the pain from the initial striek lingers and magnifies with subsequent hits.]
'This is basically a skill for torture.'
Corey chuckled, then he stored the scroll in his Tri-Pupil Eyes.
'Let's see what else is here.'
He looked around, then his eyes landed on a different shelf.
Corey took a step forward, and just as he took the step…
BOOM!!
