Chapter Vol. 4 Ch. 181
The answer is — Ley Lines.
These energy veins that flow with the world’s power, even in small amounts, are unimaginable endless magic to ordinary people.
It’s all clear now.
Silvester originally intended to use the immense magic in the ley lines. Through the absorption at the altar, he slowly intended to restore this damaged artifact of the Demon God... The purpose of doing so was quite simple.
By using the restored power of the 【Demon God’s Gem】, he aimed to open the doors of the temple here.
However, later on, due to the official suspicions of the Human United Kingdom noticing signs of cultist activities near the Darkwood Jungle, they sent elite knights like Felina to investigate.
Along with some interference from a certain Priestess, this ultimately led to the 【Demon God’s Gem】 not only failing to absorb enough magic but instead falling into Violet’s pocket.@@@@
Therefore, after the operation failed, Silvester, who felt that he left behind everything, quickly moved to the Demon Suppression City area further north of the kingdom and launched a new plan.
It seems that although he lost the 【Demon God’s Gem】, he ultimately found another way to open the doors of the temple and smoothly entered it now.
As for Miss Priestess, who only has a partial understanding of the Demon God’s power and never realized that the Jewel could actually be repaired, she ran around the world with this half-broken treasure without paying it much attention again.
As for why the 【Demon God’s Gem】 suddenly completed its repair, to be honest, Violet can only think of one possibility at the moment.
That is, some time ago, when she was replenishing magic for Novia, perhaps the latter’s body, also created by the Demon God as the Source of Magic and the 【Demon God’s Gem】, resonated closely at close range, creating some special connection through the action of laws.
【Source of Magic】while absorbing Violet’s MP at the same time, it also reversely infused power into the 【Demon God’s Gem】, aiding in its self-repair.
Yes! That’s right, it’s very likely like this!!!
So that’s why there was a large amount of magic disappearing without a trace, the consumption was astonishingly high, reaching beyond 20 million MP!
After all, awakening a depleted artifact and repairing a shattered treasure through magic require completely different levels of cost. In other words—Chief Vanessa’s completely underestimated the amount of Miss Priestess’s MP was outputting at the time and didn’t realize that Violet was actually doing two things simultaneously.
Perhaps in her view, converting into numerical values, awakening the depleted Source of Magic body only required five or six million MP or even less, and Violet couldn’t directly indicate how much specific magic she was outputting at the time.
“?”
Seeing this, Miss Priestess couldn’t help but furrow her brow.
What’s going on, why is this last part... why are there several inexplicable blanks? It looks as if someone erased the original text that was there?
Based on the context before and after, Violet couldn’t help but guess that the blanks here should be her own name, but generally speaking, wouldn’t blocked names be directly changed to something like “xxxx”? What is this “power of something”?
So strange...
And the name of the Demon God Olivia this time, surprisingly, wasn’t blocked out in the equipment introduction. Perhaps because the 【Demon God’s Gem】 has become a divine artifact, it has already reached a certain standard in its realm... or something like that?
Forget it... By the way, it really is a divine artifact, huh, this jewel... even though it’s only a lesser one, it’s still quite formidable. This isn’t equipment produced in 【Illusory World】, but truly comes from this world itself.
But according to the description, the 【Demon God’s Gem】 evolved into a divine artifact because some power erased its original name. So, does that mean the original Demon God’s six artifacts, or at least the 【Demon God’s Gem】, didn’t reach this level originally?
Hmm, hmm... it all feels quite complicated.
Well, despite being somewhat mysterious, getting a divine artifact is definitely a big win. This 【Demon God’s Gem】 should be an offensive type, a weapon-class equipment.
It does conflict somewhat with 【Eternal Scepter of the World’s Heart】, and even though it adds a lot of attributes and several powerful skills, it still doesn’t quite match Miss Priestess’s preference for the latter, after all, 【Eternal Scepter of the World’s Heart】 is a superior divine artifact.
However, one thing is that the maximum MP provided by the 【Demon God’s Gem】 and its added auto-recovery speed are quite remarkable, at least surpassing 【Eternal Scepter of the World’s Heart】 in this aspect by a fair margin. Though Violet usually doesn’t run low on mana, it might prove effective in certain special situations.
After curiously playing with the smooth and glossy jewel for a while, Violet didn’t waste any more time. Since the door was already open, proceeding cautiously and swiftly was the right choice. This temple is definitely not going to be straightforward, entering it is probably just the first step.
Considering its potential usefulness, Miss Priestess didn’t rush to put the 【Demon God’s Gem】 back into her backpack. Instead, she let it continue floating around her, ready to adapt flexibly.
Although this treasure once belonged to the Demon God Olivia, after such severe damage and subsequent repairs over a thousand years, it’s practically no different from being recast.
In the present day where the Demon God has fallen, the only one who can control its existence is likely Violet, who personally restored it with magic.
Of course, even if the Demon God were truly revived, don’t think it would be simple to take it back. Whoever picks it up, it’s theirs! That’s 20 million MP, after all!
