Rosie's Games

Chapter 358  Information about Relics

Relics

What did she know about relics?

In her previous life, she did not know much about relics and was so focused on helping Dorothy that she was not able to study more about them. During the war, she had become even more occupied with the affairs of the Empire.

When she lost her Blessing, she became so depressed that she refused to get out of bed until her body became even weaker and weaker and she finally succumbed to her death.

Rosalind stared at the different relics that were described in the book. Most of them were names that she has not heard before. Well, to be honest, she had not seen or heard the majority of them.

Despite her initial enthusiasm, the book left her with an increasing sense of uncertainty.

With each page she turned, her doubts about the book multiplied.

Lumenera Crystal: A glowing crystal relic that allows the user to control the flow of energy. They can absorb and redirect various forms of energy, such as heat, light, and sound, and use them for offensive or defensive purposes.

Somnium Gem: A smooth, crystalline gem-like relic that can manipulate dreams. The user can enter the dreams of others, shape their dreams, and even bring dreams into reality, creating a world of their own imagination.

Astralite Shard: A relic from a fallen star that bestows the user with cosmic powers. They can manipulate celestial bodies, control gravity, and even travel through space and time.

What are these?

A falling star? A relic that could control the flow of energy and a relic that could manipulate dreams?

What kind of relics were these?

As if sensing her doubts, Lucas, who had been enjoying his tea in the midst of the chaos in the room, spoke. "Those relics can only be found in the continent where Humans came from."

"From that other continent?" she asked.

"Yes. My ancestors believe that most of those relics could not be found in this place. Thus, many of them wanted to go back."

"And?"

He shrugged.

She stared at him for a few seconds before she turned her attention back to the book. She continued reading and soon discovered a few more powerful relics like a pulsating crystal that harnessed the power of stones, a mineral that granted the user the power of reading minds and communicating with others. A relic sand that could manipulate time and something called a spirit gem, a relic used to capture and store the soul of a deceased being!

How could something like this exist?

"So, that red crystal…" She wanted to know about the crystal that he used to suppress Lurea's Blessing.

Until now, she could still recall the red crystal that glowed with an intense, crimson hue, radiating an aura of palpable power. Its facets reflected the light in a way that seemed almost otherworldly, as if it held ancient and unfathomable energy within. The crystal was small enough to be held in one hand.

"It was a nullification gem," he answered. "They exist to nullify the relics. Meaning, you would not be able to use your relic if they are around. Like a counterforce to all relics."

"Are you saying that the Blessing… that one that I have, is something that came from a relic?"

"We have suspicions. It is either that or you just received a Blessing from the Goddess and that Blessing just happens to have a weakness. It is something that could be rendered invalid by a nullification gem."

Rosalind frowned. In a world where people could gain abilities from relics, it would only make sense for a stone like this to exist— a stone that renders all Blessings and relics useless.

Meaning, the holder of this stone could easily kill them and take the relic away.

She lifted her gaze and eyed him.

She could remember his feat in her last life. He was able to kill someone who was Blessed. He was able to make people stronger and faster. Was it because of the relics that he owned?

What about the Rothley Family?

If they were so powerful then… why was it that there was only one of them around?

Was it possible that they are hiding somewhere?

Rosalind swallowed.

Now that she thought about it, the Rothley Family was even more mysterious than the seven families. The secrets that they hold were simply not even comparable.

"The nullification gem has been proven to not only make a Blessed Individual or someone who had been using a relic weak but it was also proven to absorb relics to make itself more powerful. Meaning, storing the gem could be very tricky as they require specific material and some other methods to be safely stored without affecting the one who held them."

Rosalind nodded. The nullification stone was something that could be very useful to her, but she could not even use it because it would also render her powerless. It was not fair.

Still, the fact that she had knowledge about a stone like this was enough.

She turned the page and then stumbled upon something interesting.

Corporeal Conduit Crystal: The Corporeal Conduit Crystal is a dark, obsidian-like crystal with an ethereal, pulsating aura. It will bestow its possessor with the ability to steal the bodies of other people. By coming into physical contact with the crystal and channeling their will, the possessor could project their consciousness into the body of another person, effectively taking over their physical form and gaining control over their actions and abilities. The crystal's effects are only effective on individuals who are mentally and emotionally frail. Can only be used by mortals.

"This one…" She had never heard of something like this before.

"That crystal should not exist in this continent," he said as she pointed at the name of the crystal on the book.

"You mean…"

"The one who is currently inside your sister's body… must have used that crystal. The consciousness and body must have already become one and that was the reason why she seemed to become normal once again."

Rosalind swallowed.

"That information was not included in this book…" If it was not here then… how did he know it?
