Chapter 11 - 11.Hidden in plain sight

The room looked like it hasn't been cleaned for hundereds of years since it was cleaned

Step crack break

Cough

The moment I stepped forward the floor broke and the dust raised

'I had enough of this'

Using 'Mana field' to step on solid ground I looked around

Concentrating on using 'Mana field' to probe at the items laying on the ground

I was disappointed with the results

The items were of trash value the highest items here were of B-rank

'Looks like this was a waste of time'

I began to walk towards the rusty door leading outside

However when I got close I sensed something was off

I turned around and began looking closely at everything in the room

['Mana field' Strengthens]

The 'Mana field' now filled the entire room from the door to the floor the ceiling and in the air

Now I saw places that rejected mana there were two of them one in my left wall and one in the floor

There was two more items radiating large amount of mana

I carefully walked up to the items that were radiating large amount of mana

I saw that it was under a steel armor i picked up the armor and looked at the item on the floor

It was a black jacket with a LOT of dust

Drop,clank

Crack,break

I dropped the steel armor on the floor and it broke through it revealing a stone floor underneath the old wooden one

'Damn,I should not have dropped that'

After the dust settled I picked up the simple back jacket covered in dust

I cleaned the black jacket by dusting away the dust on it

[Silent whisper]

Rank - A

The jacket made by a wanderer who has seen the world it now rests here

Fire resistance 10%

Lighting resistance 10%

Corrosion resistance 10%

Wind resistance 10%

Elemental resistance can be increased by infusing Mana

--------

'Oh I am definitely getting this'

I put the 'Silent whisper' on and didn't feel any different

The i infused mana in it to increase its elemental resistance

['Silent whisper' strengthes]

'Its like this,huh'

I turned towards to the other item now on my right

My vision was filled with broken items that lay before me

I stepped on them and reached the other item I fished it in between other items

I found the item and brought it out the mountain of trash items

It was a belt

[Inventory]

Rank - B

A mid-size inventory capable of storing a large amount of items

---------

'I am glad I got another inventory my one is filled with cores'

I emptied the the contents of the small inventory into the large one

Now I had two items I walked to the wall to my left and put my hand on the wall to feel any button or anything to open the wall

Touch

Then I felt a little stone coming out of the wall it felt very awkward that a stone to come out of a wooden wall

Tic,opens

Creak

So I pushed it in and a small compartment in the wall opened up

It had a box inside it

I took the black box out of the little compartment

And it was a small black box with a freezing temperature around it

[?????]

Rank - ??

O?I?? Legacy now rest in this box

More information is restricted

---------

'What is a legacy and why is the information about it restricted?'

I checked the box from all sides and found nothing it was just a box

A box that could freeze my hand if I am not careful

'Should I take it?Or not.its a gamble whatever it becomes useful or not and the system is not helping'

*****

After half an hour of contemplating whatever to take it or not I decided to take it

I stored the box in my inventory and turned to the other box in the floor

I reached the place where it was located but there was no latch or lever nothing to open the floor

After thinking about it I decided to go with my gut

I placed my hand on the floor on top of the place where it was and ripped it out

It was a rusted old wooden box with a broken lock on it

I open it and found a obsidian crystal with a rune on it

[Vermouths Heart]

Rank - ???

Type - Elixer

The heart of a demon king who transcended his limits and became a devil

It can be consumed to wield its powers

Or be made into an item

----------

'I am definitely taking this!!'

However when I touched it to take it out of the wooden box

['Devourer' awakens]

['Devourer' expresses hunger]

A black shadow in the shape of teeths suddenly came out of my hand and bit into the obsidian crystal

A sudden burst of dark energy came out of the crystal

iiĆ­iiiiiii

Slowly it was absorbed into my hand

['Devourer' absorbs 'Vermouth heart']

[Arcane power is raised by 1]

[Strength is raised by 1]

[Perceptions is raised by 1]

The crystal in my right hand vanished and a sharp pain came from my stomach that traveled throughout my body

AHHHHHHHH

Its was like sharp blades coming from my stomach to all throughout my body

I fell down on the floor and writhe in pain on the broken floor

The chunks of wood scattered around the room

['Changing star' is raised by 0.01]

['Changing star' is raised by 0.01]

['Changing star' is raised by 0.01]

['Changing star' is raised by 3.01]

['Changing star' is raised by 0.01]

[Demon blood flows through you]

[A dormant blood is awakening]

[Human blood and demon blood are fighting]

[Demon blood is in small quantity]

[Demon blood is losing]

[Dormant blood screams out]

[Demon blood loses]

[Demon blood calms down]

[Human blood grows thicker]

[Dormant blood grows]

As the constant system windows popped up and systems voice rang in my head

I endured the pain for hours until it ended and I fell unconscious
