Chapter 1081: Not of This World
Of course, Izroth inspected the flat stone earlier with his Deep Insight; however, he received the same message as he did for all the things in this place-this object does not belong to its current world.
\'Is there a secret hidden in this stone that I missed?\'
Izroth flat stone did not seem unique or out of place. Furthermore, there was no special energy that encompassed or flowed through it.
\'One cannot always trust what their eyes show them. There is something strange about that stone.\'
The Imp of Dreams had not moved from the flat stone since Izroth appeared. In fact, the only thing the creature did was glance at Izroth upon his entry into the room. After that, it seemed to completely ignore his existence altogether.
\'Let\'s see how far it can go, shall we?\'
Izroth concentrated the Imitation: Law of Wind to the area around the flat stone and Imp of Dreams.
With his already monstrous natural sense of perception, the Law of Wind gave Izroth an incredible insight into his environment that was comparable to something like his Energy Vision Sense.
"There... The flow changed.\'
When Izroth concentrated the Law of Wind around the stone, he noticed that there was a shift in the flow located near the bottom of the object. There was no visible explanation for this change in flow; however, Izroth suspected that whatever it was had to do with the strange feeling he\'d been experiencing ever since he entered the cave.
"The Umbral Imp Horn, the Imp of Dreams, treasure chests that hand out legendary ranked items like random trinkets... Nothing in this place makes sense. How can a cave like this exist in the Mortal Realm?\'
"Exist..." Izroth muttered to himself as he narrowed his eyes.
"This place... Can it be that it\'s somehow not considered a part of the Mortal Realm?\'
If the cave he entered were not considered a part of the Mortal Realm, then it would certainly make sense as to why his Energy Vision Sense failed to function properly. After all, in a place like The Void, the atmosphere was too chaotic, making his Energy Vision Sense practically useless.
\'A minor realm? No... Something different by nature.\'
This was not Izroth\'s first time setting foot in another realm. The Netherly Swathe, the Ancient Celestial Realm, the Shadahi Realm- one typically received an alert whenever they left a realm and entered another. Additionally, there was usually a large contrast in terms of environment for each realm.
Izroth turned around and approached the flat stone where the Imp of Dreams sat.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
After he claimed one of the treasure chests, the Imp of Dreams closed its eyes and they remained that way ever since.
Izroth remained alert as he leaned over to touch the flat stone. As he did so, he kept a close eye on the Imp of Dreams for any unexpected reactions.
Once he saw that the Imp of Dreams seemed unbothered by his actions, Izroth tightened his grip on the flat stone and pulled it up.
Against his expectations, Izroth was able to lift the stone up with relative ease.
The moment he did so, a mysterious aura washed over him that flooded the entire room. At
the same time, Izroth placed the flat stone to the side as his gaze landed on a small hole in the ground.
\'A hidden storage?\'
Even though Izroth referred to it as a hidden storage, it was more like a simple hiding spot. Though calling it simple was not wholly accurate. After all, if not for the Law of Wind, even he would have been unable to locate its whereabouts.
Though the reason why it resembled a hidden spot more than an actual storage was due to what was inside of the hole.
Izroth reached into the hole that was just large enough to fit one\'s hand into and pulled out a black box. This box was small enough to fit perfectly in the palm of one\'s hand. It gave off a profound aura and seemed to phase in and out of existence.
"This box... It\'s almost as if it\'s simultaneously real and fake. Existing and not existing. How peculiar.\' Just as Izroth examined the small black box, he received an alert from the system. System Alert: Congratulations, you have discovered the hidden item of a mythical creature! [System Alert: You have acquired x1 <<Chest of Dreams and Reality>>]
[System Alert: The item «Umbral Imp Horn» has been destroyed and removed from your inventory.[]
Izroth was interested in the Chest of Dreams and Reality from its name alone; however, he did not have time to inspect it as his attention was turned toward the last system alert he received.
Without a moment\'s waste, Izroth checked his inventory.
\'It\'s really gone.\'
Just like the system alert mentioned, the Umbral Imp Horn was no longer in his possession!
In the blink of an eye, a level 61 legendary-ranked item had vanished into thin air.
But, the timing was much too perfect for Izroth to write it off as a mere coincidence.
\'It was destroyed right as I picked up this black box. It must have something to do with the destruction
of the Umbral Imp Horn. Still, what kind of item is capable of erasing a legendary ranked weapon with such ease? Or, can it be...\'
The system information for the Chest of Dreams and Reality appeared before Izroth. And, by the time he finished reading over its effects, a carefree smile formed on his face.
\'I see. So that\'s why it was destroyed. The reason why one could walk away with legendary ranked items from this place, a mythical creature like the Imp of Dreams remaining in one spot for so long-it all makes sense now. Though I have to say, I did not expect to receive such a good bonus gift. Broken Exile... You really missed out on a treasure. I\'m also afraid you\'ll have to suffer a bit because of it.\'
Name: Chest of Dreams and Reality(Magical Item)
Rank: Unique-SSS*
Durability: (Indestructible)
Usage: Every [36 hours], this item generates three «Chest of Dreams». The user can pick one of these chests. The item removed from a «<Chest of Dreams>> by this item\'s effect becomes a reality. Non-consumable items obtained through this item will last [1 Month] before being automatically destroyed.
Special Note: A magic item created by the <<Imp of Dreams», a mythical creature who exists only in the Spirit Realm and does not belong to any reality. It is said that those who can see past the dream of the <<Imp of Dreams>> can transform their dreams into reality. Once this item is obtained, all previous items acquired from a «<Chest of Dreams>> are automatically
destroyed.
Chest of Dreams and Reality—it was actually a Unique-SSS* ranked magic item—the only one of its kind in the entirety of RML!
Not only that, but if this item was capable of what Izroth believed it to be, then the effects were, quite literally, out of this world.
"This item must be responsible for generating the treasure chests that were here earlier. The item I received, as well as the items Broken Exile obtained from this place, are the real deal. But, in a sense, they are also like a dream-fleeting.\'
The Chest of Dreams and Reality, just like its name implied, was a mixture of real and fake.
While Umbral Imp Horn was not a cursed weapon. Nor was there some kind of trick to it. It was, indeed, a true legendary-ranked item. However, since it most likely came from the Chest of Dreams and Reality, there was a catch-it would only last one month before being automatically destroyed!
Nevertheless, having that kind of power at one\'s fingertips, even for a month, served as a huge advantage. Even if it only lasted for one month, the amount of things one could accomplish was not small by any means.
Based on the item\'s description, Izroth speculated that it was possible to obtain craftable items like potions or talismans from a Chest of Dreams. Those items were actually more desirable in a way as they did not have the same one-month restriction as they did when it came to things like equipment.
As for why Izroth mentioned Broken Exile having to suffer a bit, it had to do with the last line of the Chest of Dreams and Reality. The moment Izroth acquired the Chest of Dreams and Reality, all previous items obtained from a «<Chest of Dreams>> were automatically destroyed, just like his Umbral Imp Horn!
This meant that, any weapons, armor, magic items, any non-consumable that Broken Exile got from this place had been destroyed. This would be a huge blow, even more so if they were
in the middle of something like an important mission or raid.
Of course, even if they were not in the middle of anything, suddenly losing a legendary- ranked item without any explanation or reason-how difficult would it be for a top guild as arrogant as Broken Exile to accept willingly?
Izroth set the Chest of Dreams and Reality into his inventory and looked at the Imp of Dreams sitting atop the flat stone. He moved off to the side.
Once Izroth obtained the Chest of Dreams and Reality, the Imp of Dreams opened its eyes and smiled. However, with its faintly devilish appearance, it almost seemed like a devious grin. Though, Izroth did not sense any hostile intent from the creature.
Then, without a trace, as if it were never there to begin with, the Imp of Dreams vanished.
Even with the Law of Wind, Izroth was unable to track the Imp of Dreams or catch a hint of its
trail.
\'A mythical creature is indeed a mythical creature.\'
