The 'Pendant of Lumen' was considered as one of the best items in the entire game due to how it could be obtained so early .In the game the player would be able to obtain it from the 1st day of the academy given that the player cleared its trial.Its effect was simple ,after its activation for 30 seconds any attack that the player made would be imbued with the Light attribute.The Light attribute increases damage by 50% against anything that possesses the Dark attribute be it living or non-living.
This was especially helpful as the main character would only unlock his second element which was Light after reaching level 30 and clearing the 5th floor of the Tower of Abyss. Until then the player would only have one of the 6 basic elements that they chose at the beginning of the game.The 6 basic elements were Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Ice, and Lightning.
Most of the enemies in the game possessed the Dark attribute so,the Pendant of Lumen became a essential part of the game.To obtain it one would have to clear the Trial of Lumen.To enter the trial was the hard part,in the game if you approached the statue and interacted with it would give you a bunch of runes then it would allow you to type a answer in.The way to enter was to decode the runes with the help of an item you could obtain in the 2nd year.After which you would be able to type the answer in,which would allow you to enter the trial.But if you already knew the answer before hand you could type it in the 1st day of the academy.
Looking towards the statue Aten sighed realizing that he would have to swim to the statue and unlike in the game his clothes would get wet.After thinking for a few seconds he started to walk towards the water.Right when he was about to step into the water a pale green hue appeared below his shoe as he walked on the water.
[(1★)Wind Generation(D)]
Taking one step at a time he gingerly trod the water constantly using wind to keep himself from falling into the water.After a few minutes he reached the platform that the statue was on.Moving towards the statue he touched the staff of the statue.
"Requiem of Lumen"
Right after uttering those words he was engulfed in a white light and transported into a space that looked like a colosseum of sorts.He was on circular platform surrounded by water with seats for the audience surrounding it.Then a loud voice echoed throughout the colosseum.
"CHALLENGER MANA RANK-E"
"SET DIFFICULTY TO LOWEST"
As the voice finished announcing 5 human shaped puppets appeared.All of them looked exactly the same,each of them holding a short sword about the length of their forearms.All 5 stood still making no noise.
"The rules of the trial are :do not touch or be touched by the puppets and knock all 5 of them into the water within 10 minutes.The trial starts in"
"3"
"2"
"1"
"Begin"
With the announcement the heads of the puppets turned red and they started to run towards Aten.
Seeing the puppets running towards him he started to think and soon decided on his course of action.He began to run towards the edge of the platform with 2 puppets following closely.After reaching the edge of the platform he turned to the 2 puppets approaching him from both sides.The puppet on the left attempted to slash at Aten but he narrowly dodged by side stepping after while using [(1★)Wind Generation(D)] causing a gust of wind to form in his palm.He then aimed his palm on the shoulder of the puppet who slashed at him and releasing all the wind to push the puppet from the side causing it to crash into the puppet on the right leading to both falling off the edge of the platform.
The remaining 3 puppets that were left started to approach him from the front and both of his sides.With his back turned against the water he started to compress wind into his legs and his index finger.Aten then ran towards the puppet approaching from the left and the puppet attempted to slash him as he jumped releasing all the wind compressed in his legs causing him to jump over the puppet which had fallen over due to the compressed wind released.Aten then shot the compressed wind from his index finger towards the puppet approaching from his right.
The compressed Air hit the torso of the puppet which caused it to go flying straight into the water.The puppet that was still standing came to attack him with a thrust of its sword.Aten barely managed to dodge as he rolled to the side.Aten then released a huge gust of wind pushing the puppet backwards into colliding with another puppet that had just gotten up,causing both to fall over.Aten then quickly proceeded to create as much wind as he could shooting at the right side of the fallen puppets causing both to be launched off the platform and into the water.
The loud voice once again resounded throughout the colosseum,
"The trial has been completed"
"The reward is being given"
Suddenly a pendant with a thin black wire and a small amber gemstone appeared in front of Aten and just as he caught it ,he was once again engulfed in a white light and appeared in front of the statue.
