Chapter 126: Where can I get one?
After the emerald flames were done with the target\'s soul then it would burn the innards turning the unfortunate person into a husk.
The situation in the 2nd and 3rd carriages was getting more chaotic as seconds passed. One of the mercenaries on the 3rd carriage fell into the hatch causing the vicious emerald flames to spread to every member inside the carriage dooming them all.
"Ahh!"
"Help!"
"Ahh!"
Screams of agony echoed in the area as they tried to put out the flames but to no avail.
In the second carriage, the moment they saw that a victim of the soul flames was about to fall in through the hatch, a gust of wind pushed the two mercenaries off the carriage, leaving them on the road to burn to ashes and preventing another disaster from occurring.
"More like pest control…" Blake said when he witness the effectiveness of the soul flames as the screams of agony coming from the 3rd carriage was like music to his ears.
"Get in!"
Blake and Brian snapped out of their reverie when the voice of Taliesin rang in their ears.
Immediately they got into the carriage, the driver made another turn and that was when Taliesin brought out what looked like a wooden cube from his dimensional space. The wooden cube was covered by unknown symbols and at the center of the cube was a blue ball of energy.
"Open..." Taliesin said as the symbols on the artifact began glowing.
Nothing happened inside the carriage, but when Blake looked at the holographic projection of what was going on outside, he saw a spatial corridor enough to fit the carriage opening up in front.
\'Is it me or did that box tear a hole in space and make a spatial corridor large enough to support a carriage?\' Blake was stunned by the scene.
He knew what he had passed through just to tear a hole in space and make a spatial corridor his size, but a wooden cube with an orb at its center just did what he practiced for in weeks within a second.
[This is the power of artifacts. Although they are very hard to come by, they make a whole lot of difference in battles and situations like this.] The system said to the stunned Blake.
\'Where can I get one?\' Blake asked because he loved what his eyes were seeing.
[I hope you are aware that different artifacts possess different abilities and none would have identical abilities.
Secondly, didn\'t you hear the part that they are very hard to come by?!] The system replied.
Three streets away, a tear appeared in space and within a second the tear had expanded and a carriage emerged from the spatial corridor.
Those in the area were stunned by the sudden appearance of a carriage, but before they could react, Taliesin activated the artifact again warping them to a different location.
"That should be enough to get them off our trail..." Taliesin said with a sigh as he stored the artifact back into his dimensional space.
"I don\'t think so…" The entire group turned to Blake when he said those words. Seeing the looks on their faces, Blake knew that they needed an explanation.
"The reason they were able to locate us wasn\'t that they have a tracker, but because the package we are transporting is the tracker..." Blake said pointing at the wooden box that had brought them a lot of trouble.
"Are you saying the package is somehow giving out our location?" Taliesin asked with a raised brow. Normally he would have been angered by the statement, but after seeing Blake\'s performance in identifying the mercenaries and while defending the carriage he decided to hear him out.
"Yes. From my senses, the package is a form of energy source, but the problem is that it constantly emits an energy pulse that can be easily picked up with the right equipment." Blake explained what the system had told him at the beginning of their journey.
\'How can a kid at the champion realm sense it?!\' Taliesin was shocked by Blake\'s explanation and sensory skills. He was at the peak of the hero realm, more than a realm above Blake but he could only faintly sense the pulse being emitted by the package, but from Blake\'s description, it sounded like it was clearer than his voice.
Unknown to him, Blake wasn\'t even close to being able to sense the pulse, it was all the system\'s doing.
"That means we should hope they would be able to make it through the secret passage before they catch up..." Taliesin said after pondering over the matter.
\'I know he can\'t, but why can\'t he put in his dimensional space?\' Blake asked.
[A dimensional space is like a storage room located in the chaotic void and the only reason they don\'t get destroyed along with the stored items is because of the powerful barriers that form the walls of the storage room.
The quality of a dimensional amulet isn\'t dependent on only the space of the dimensional amulet, but the barriers protecting it from the void.
Now, the reason the package can\'t be placed in a dimensional space is that the energy pulse it emits would destabilize and weaken the barrier of the dimensional space. When this happens both the package and other stored items would be engulfed and destroyed by the chaotic void.] The system explained.
\'Is that so…\' Blake intrigued by the system\'s explanation.
After some moments of peace, their carriage was just a street away from the underground passage, but that was when the mercenaries caught up to them and this time their attacks were fiercer than before.
