Chapter 123: The white bracelet
Yon stood up from the white chair and gazed at the trio with serious eyes.
He knew what treasures they took because he kept an eye on the trio but when his gaze landed on Kyle's body, he frowned because there was something else present on Kyle's body.
"Kid, didn't I tell you not to take more than what you are allowed?"
Yon spoke while staring at Kyle. There was anger present in his voice. He already gave him 4 treasures and now Kyle was being too greedy!
Kyle's body tensed up when he saw Yon's gaze. He looked at the skill cores and sword he was holding.
'What is he talking about? I didn't take more than what was allowed.'
He frowned but then Kyle's eyes suddenly landed on the sliver scabbard he removed from the golden sword.
'Is it because of the scabbard?'
Bia also woke up hearing Yon's loud voice. Alec and Jian also looked at Kyle who was wearing a confused expression.
Kyle hesitated but then removed the silver scabbard from the ordinary-looking sword he picked. The other party was already giving him so much so even if he wasn't allowed to take the scabbard it didn't matter. He would find a better one in the future.
"Hmm, I will return the scabbard."
Yon narrowed his eye. He wasn't able to sense the thing clearly but he was sure it wasn't something that belonged to Kyle.
"I am not talking about the scabbard!"
He spoke and waved his hand. Kyle felt something move within his clothes and under his confused gaze a white bracelet flew out from his collar.
Kyle was stunned. It was the white bracelet he saw when he was looking around the Artifacts mountain. He hurriedly rubbed his neck and immediately shouted.
"I didn't take it!"
Yon looked at Kyle's expression and raised his brow but then suddenly the white bracelet inside Yon's hand trembled and directly jumped at Kyle.
Kyle was frightened when he saw the white bracelet jumping at him. He immediately moved back to avoid the bracelet.
Even Alec and Jian were stunned. The bracelet jumped so suddenly that Yon wasn't able to catch it but because Kyle stepped back the bracelet fell to the ground.
After the white bracelet hit the ground, it released a terrifying aura because it was enlarged. Except Yon everyone else started sweating. Even Bia was affected, she gazed at the bracelet and immediately cried out inside Kyle's head.
-'Don't let it touch you! I can feel it isn't something good!'
Just now the aura released by the artifact wasn't something clean. It was filled with bloodlust! Even though the bloodlust was hidden within the white bracelet aura Bia was able to sense it.
Kyle's expression darkened and he hurriedly moved back to avoid the bracelet but then the bracelet's body moved like a snake. After glancing around, it immediately started crawling toward Kyle.
Yon was stunned for a moment but after sensing the Artifact aura he hurriedly grabbed it and the pressure around the trio finally disappeared.
The artifact wriggled in Yon's grip but he didn't let it go and gazed at Kyle with a serious expression.
"You really know how to cause trouble don't you?"
With a frown Yon gazed at the artifact, seemingly trying to see what was it used for. After a few seconds, Yon's frown deepened.
'How the hell I didn't notice it before? Was it dormant?'
All the Artifacts and weapons present within the Tower were collected a long time ago that's why it was natural he didn't know about all of them.
Not to mention, the bracelet was in a dormant state but for some reason it awakened when Kyle touched it.
Yon sighed while looking at the bracelet. No matter how much he probed he wasn't able to sense the Artifact rank. He knew it had chosen Kyle as its master and wanted to go toward him but he didn't give the bracelet to Kyle.
It's not because he was greedy or wanted the bracelet for himself. It's because after looking through the artifact with his perception, Yon somewhat knew it wasn't something good.
The artifacts were clearly divided into two categories. One was those who were used without paying any price but the other type usually took something in return before its ability could be used.
'This thing is good only when one is too desperate. Also after sensing the bloodlust present inside the bracelet I am sure it had eaten its last master.'
Yon waved his hand and a golden portal appeared behind the trio who was staring at the artifact present inside his hand with a dazed expression.
"Now that you are done. Yon can leave."
Yon spoke with a serious expression and gestured for the dazed trio to enter the portal.
Kyle was the first one to snap out. He hurriedly nodded and after throwing the ordinary-looking sword and the skill cores inside his storage ring, he jumped inside the golden portal.
He felt a little uncomfortable because of the bracelet. Also, he was scared that Yon would take the scabbard from him if he stayed any longer.
Jian and Alec were stunned. Kyle left them behind again!
With a bitter smile, the duo also entered the portal and left the treasure room.
After the trio left, Yon waved his hand and another portal appeared in front of him. He stepped inside the portal and arrived in another white room.
It was filled with all kinds of treasures but unlike the last room, the treasures present within this room were easily countable. The few treasures were carefully enclosed inside floating glass boxes, indicating they were more precious than the ones Yon showed to the trio.
Yon walked toward a glass box and removed the purple dragger present within the glass box.
The dagger emitted a cold and sharp aura. However, Yon tossed the dagger away and placed the wriggling bracelet inside the glass box before closing the box.
The bracelet wriggled uncontrollably inside the glass box but no matter what it tried it wasn't able to go out.
Yon stared at the bracelet. Under his gaze, after trying gently it became violent and started banging itself on the glass box.
Yon sneered when he saw the bracelet giving off an even more terrifying aura.
"No matter what you try the glass box won't break because the material I used to forge the glass was specially made to restrain unruly high-ranked artifacts and weapons."
He threw another glance at the bracelet and left the white room while thinking about Kyle who awakened the artifact.
Now the artifact was hell-bent on finding Kyle.
"Is there something special within the kid's body? Why does the artifact want to devour him so desperately?"
Yon shook his head and stopped thinking about the complicated things. Just now he suddenly felt like breaking through again.
"This time I am sure I will break through!"
With a resolute expression, Yon left to enter closed-door training.
On the other hand, the white bracelet banged the glass box loudly again and again but after a few hours, the artifact strangely quieted down.
Its body slowly started to twist and a white fog came out from its body. Soon the whole glass box was filled with fog after the fog disappeared the artifact was nowhere to be seen.
