Chapter 518 Barsm Luminaire


    Atst, Jonathan and Rhiannon unveiled the truth of Pollerton Tomb!


    The ce was undoubtedly hidden below the well, but strictly speaking, it wasn''t so much a traditional


    tomb as a space with bones scattered everywhere. The total area was about three thousand square


    meters and stretched into the distance as far as the eye could see.


    A cave dome towered above them while a massive magic formationy smack-dab in the middle of the


    large cave.


    Not only had the magic formation been in ce for ages, but it also emanated a powerful aura.


    As it turned out, that was what kept the tomb so well-protected from everything outside!


    Jonathan and Rhiannon exchanged nces, their hearts filled with joy and exhration.


    At the same time, however, Jonathan had a question that continued to gnaw at him. Where on earth did


    God''s Eye go? The middle-aged man that he saw earlier probably wasn''t real either. That must have


    been a projection of God''s Eye''s deepest, darkest fear. In any case, I''m very sure God''s Eye has


    deceived me. How can there be fear in his heart if he has no desires or demands? That middle-aged


    man wouldn''t have appeared if God''s Eye had nothing to fear!


    Despite that, Jonathan decided he couldn''t be bothered to know what had be of God''s Eye. He


    was utterly disappointed with thetter, so why should he care about his fate?


    "Come on. Let''s take a look!" Jonathan said to Rhiannon before letting out a chuckle. "I promised you


    that you''d get the first pick, so rest assured that I won''t take whatever items you''ve set your sights on."


    Rhiannon said nothing as she nced at Jonathan. After all, what reason did she have to mistrust the


    man? If Jonathan had an ounce of selfishness, he could''ve kept quiet when she was facing off against


    Maisie. That way, Maisie would''ve easily killed her.


    As the duo ventured deeper into the cave, they saw more sets of bones scattered on the ground, some


    of which were intertwined.


    On top of that, the air was filled with a musty, putrid stench.


    More importantly, there were also many magical weapons and items on the ground while some floated


    in the air.


    One thing was for sure—the cave was a treasure trove of magic items!


    However, now that they had arrived at the legendary Pollerton Tomb, there was no way Jonathan and


    Rhiannon would waste their time scavenging for ordinary items.


    "This sword seems pretty good!" Jonathan eximed when he noticed a sword in front of a skeleton on


    his left. The de was embedded in the ground, and even after being exposed to a long period of


    weathering processes, it still glinted coldly.


    As he stepped forward and pulled the sword out, he instantly felt waves of elemental energy coursing


    through it.


    Wow! I can''t believe there''s a magic formation inside this sword! Its quality must be top-notch.


    "This sword isn''t very remarkable," Rhiannon said nonchntly after ncing at the weapon. "If you


    used it to perform the Fortune Sword Technique, I guarantee the de won''t be able to withstand it and


    will break immediately."


    "Really? How can you tell?" Jonathan muttered.


    "Don''t be so short-sighted. The quality and material of this sword are mediocre at best. Sure, you might


    be able to sell it for a decent amount outside, but it''s hardly worth mentioning in Pollerton Tomb."


    A cheeky grin crept across Jonathan''s face. "Forget it. I''ll keep it in my storage ring for now. Who


    cares?"


    "Fine. Do what you like."


    The duo wasted no time continuing their exploration, and the sight of treasures popping up in every


    corner made them feel as if they had struck a massive jackpot.


    "The fighters here don''t seem to have storage rings, do they?" Jonathan asked as he looked at


    Rhiannon quizzically.


    "That''s because the concept of storage rings didn''t exist in ancient times."


    Asprehension dawned on Jonathan, Rhiannon spotted an item floating around and instantly


    grabbed it mid-air. "Huh? Could this be the legendary Vermilion Jade Ruler?"


    Jonathan, too, looked over, only to see Rhiannon holding a fiery red jade ruler.


    Jonathan, too, looked over, only to see Rhiannon holding a fiery red jade ruler.


    "Vermilion Jade Ruler? What''s that?"


    After focusing her senses on the item for some time, Rhiannon beamed. "I was right! This is Vermilion


    Jade Ruler! It''s imprinted with the battle spirit of the vermilion bird, a mythical beast that''s a natural-


    born Fire Magician. Having the Vermilion Jade Ruler will be a great help!"


    "Since it''s such a gem, you should take it," Jonathan remarked.


    "In that case, I shan''t stand on ceremony with you."


    Jonathan couldn''t help but chuckle. "Please, no need for formality."


    Rhiannon happily epted the Vermilion Jade Ruler and continued stashing several more treasures


    into her storage ring.


    I could use these treasures to win over the hearts of my subordinates when I return. What a lovely idea!


    On the contrary, Jonathan cared more about finding magic items belonging to the Sacred Sovereigns


    or demonic mages. Even though he scoured the area and found many treasures, he realized none of


    those truly wowed him.


    Since Rhiannon wasn''t as picky, it didn''t take long before she amassed a bountiful collection.


    Unfortunately, it had long be impossible to distinguish who were the Sacred Sovereigns and


    demonic mages in Pollerton Tomb.


    Jonathan and Rhiannon might not be able to recognize most of the treasures, but what was even


    stranger was that they never found the magic items belonging to the Sacred Sovereigns or the elders


    of the dark magicians.


    "Could it be that someone has been here before?" Jonathan asked curiously. "Could they have taken


    all the valuable treasures?"


    Rhiannon''s heart sank. She, too, had noticed that the best magic items had all vanished without a


    trace.


    "That''s impossible. Only us in Moon Shadow Pce have the key to the enchantment. Who else


    could''ve gotten in?" she uttered.

    Jonathan''s face suddenly changed. "I know who it is."


    "Who?"


    "God''s Eye!" Jonathan eximed. "He got in here before us. Moreover, he is Rnd, the Sacred


    Sovereign. He knows this ce like the back of his hand. He must''ve swiped the best treasures upon


    entering."


    Rhiannon turned ashen-faced. "Where could he have gone now?" she asked, eliciting a sigh from


    Jonathan. "He might have already fled," he said before stiffening and turning to Rhiannon. "Wait a


    minute... Do you suspect that I''m conspiring with God''s Eye?"


    There''s a good possibility of her thinking that way, and if so, I don''t think I''d ever be able to clear my


    name.


    To his surprise, Rhiannon gave a very straightforward response. "Of course not. Besides, if you really


    wanted to keep these treasures for yourself, I wouldn''t have been able to stop you. There''s no need for


    you to resort to such underhanded means!"


    Jonathan finally heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank you!"


    Deep down, he had to admit he was grateful for Rhiannon''s trust.


    "Don''t be too disappointed," Rhiannon added. "God''s Eye couldn''t have taken all the top-tier treasures


    in such a short period. Let''s search carefully. I''m sure we''ll find something good!"


    Jonathan nodded, though he dreaded to think about God''s Eye, or more urately, Rnd.


    D*mn this Rnd... He has been scheming against me from the start! I was still fond of him in the past,


    but now, I find him utterly repulsive!


    Surprisingly enough, Rhiannon remained upbeat as she continued tofort Jonathan. Perhaps, that


    was one of the many strengths of women, and their gentle touch was the perfect remedy for even the


    most difficult situations.


    The two began to search meticulously, with Rhiannon continually collecting some of the better-than-


    average magic items.


    Just then, Rhiannon pointed at a rusty iron sword in a corner. "Hey, Jonathan, don''t you think that


    sword is somewhat strange?"


    Jonathan hurriedly turned to look at the weapon. Hmm... She''s right. That iron sword''s very


    unremarkable, especially in a ce like this. It''s easy to overlook it if one''s not careful. I, for example,


    completely missed it. Rhiannon, however, is way more conscientious, so it''s not surprising that it


    caught her attention. That said, I can see why she finds it unusual. Every weapon in Pollerton Tomb is


    a magic item, which means they aren''t supposed to rust. Since there shouldn''t be any ordinary iron


    here, this rusty iron sword sticks out like a sore thumb!


    Feeling that something was amiss, Jonathan promptly grabbed the rusty sword and channeled his


    chaotic energy to inspect it.


    Before long, his chaotic energy had seeped into the rusty sword.


    "This is Maximilian''s Luminous Sword!" Jonathan suddenly cried out. "Luminous Sword requires


    elemental energy and the nourishment of fresh blood. It has rusted on the outside because it hasn''t


    been nourished for a long time, thus causing it to activate its self-protective mechanism!"


    Needless to say, Rhiannon was just as excited.


    Jonathan immediately bit his finger and let fresh blood drip onto the Luminous Sword.


    At the same time, he also injected a surge of chaotic energy into it.


    Within seconds, Jonathan and Rhiannon saw theyers of rust peeling off Luminous Sword, revealing


    a gleaming cold light underneath.


    The divine weapon had been restored to its former glory!


    Just then, a voice rang out in Jonathan''s mind. "Master!"


    Despite being slightly taken aback, he closed his eyes to sense the situation, and everything soon


    became crystal clear.


    Ah! The voice came from Luminous Sword! It''s a super divine weapon that has developed its own


    consciousness, which means what I''m hearing is the weapon spirit! That''s right. Only divine weapons


    can produce weapon spirits! Then again, hearing it address me as "Master" unnerves me. It reminded


    me of how Rnd manipted me with God''s Eye... Wait a minute. Could Maximilian also be plotting


    against me with Luminous Sword? Argh. I''ve lost all love and respect for these Ancient Sacred


    Sovereigns.


    After some silent contemtion, Jonathan channeled chaotic energy into Luminous Sword to fully


    grasp its powers. He no longer wanted to be the cat''s-paw for anyone else.


    Havingpleted a thorough search, Jonathan finally felt at ease.


    Not only was Luminous Sword not created by Maximilian, but it also didn''t bear any of his spiritual


    imprints. Simply put, it was an untainted magic weapon!


    Jonathan was relieved and even more excited to have experienced the marvel of Luminous Sword. The


    sword contained the vast power of ancient Barsm teachings, and once activated, it could generate an


    extraordinarily formidable force. It could influence the elements around it and bend them to its will, but


    more importantly, it could also affect the elemental powers of its enemies.


    Under those circumstances, the enemy''s moves might even backfire whenunched.


    In addition, Luminous Sword also had a fatal attack in the form of a luminous aura, refined and


    generated from years of Barsm teachings.


    It was undeniably a lethal move, and it might even be more impressive than the sword aura from


    Rnd''s Sword!


    Lastly, Luminous Sword held another trump card called Barsm Luminaire!


    Thankfully, it didn''t take long for Jonathan to get a clear understanding of it. As it turned out, once


    Barsm Luminaire was activated, it''d be akin to being in the presence of the great Barsm Sage, where


    tens of thousands of monks would chant scriptures in unison. At the same time, it would also generate


    a powerful Barsm light that can reduce all enemies to ashes!


    Of course, all that also depended on the sword wielder''s own skill level.


    If someone like Theos were to unleash Barsm Luminaire with Luminous Sword, the power produced


    would be nothing short of devastating. However, if it were in the hands of other ordinary experts, they


    wouldn''t even be able to utilize Barsm Luminaire...
