Chapter 822: Time Anchor
Chapter 822: Time Anchor
Lindsey attempted to equip the Steel Emblem.
He infused it with his essence, and his arm instantly transformed into a metallic substance—an incredibly hard metal that also burned with flames.
Due to the use of Celestial Odd Gold, the Steel Emblem's elementalization took on meteorite properties. Even at the joints and muscles, the metallization did not affect the arm's flexibility.
"Although I can't transform my entire body, it's still useful in special situations."
"Not to mention the passive effects of increased defense and damage, this magic rune is very practical, and you might even consider keeping it active all the time."
Lindsey experimented with it and then returned to the mining path, continuing to dig deeper into the earth.
As for the subsequent synthesis of the Steel Emblem, it was simple. The next level required a Mythic Metal.
Legendary metals could only be obtained at the center of meteorites.
Mythic...
Lindsey had a guess in his mind.
Just like the Freedom Seal or the Eternal Mark, materials of this level could probably only be obtained in places related to world concepts.
"But does every cloud island in the Dust Path World have a chance to brew an Atmospheric Quintessence?"
"Is this due to the influence of the clear sky or the Righteous One who reshaped the world? Or is it because cloud islands, where elemental creatures are born, are inherently special, so they can brew materials of this level?"
Lindsey thought as he continued digging downward.
The number of meteorites in his bag was also steadily increasing.
Then, the Puzzle Module suddenly brought Lindsey a surprise. As he was digging in the meteorite, a white light intermittently guided him downward.
Lindsey approached it, but he didn't see anything valuable; only the text on the clue provided an explanation.
【Trace of the Prey—This trace seems to be pointing you toward the prey.】
"..."
"This is too convenient!"
Lindsey was very satisfied with the effect of the game skill. He followed the clue and dug downward, and this time, it didn't take long before...
Clang!
The hoe in his hand bounced back.
Lindsey turned on the light from his Multi-Function Survival Gear and moved closer. He swept away the meteorite fragments under his feet and discovered a turtle shell right in front of him.
"I've arrived!"
Lindsey reached out and immediately collected the prey material.
【Ornament/Material: Sea Turtle Shell】
【A material from a high-level magical beast, when equipped, greatly increases defense; can also be used as a material to craft other items.】
【A rare magical beast material, of moderate value.】
"Huh? Just a material of this level?"
Holding the turtle shell in his hand, Lindsey thought for a moment and then understood.
He had been a mere spectator in this battle, and the real strength came from the meteorite. Successfully collecting the prey material, rather than coming up empty-handed, was the unexpected surprise.
"This is not bad."
"Oh, right, there's also the hunting title and reward."
Lindsey opened the Hunting Journal.
Aside from the normal hunting title, the reward for the Star Sea Turtle made him pause.
【Consumable: Time Anchor】
【After use, allows a unit to be immune to the effects of time for a certain period.】
【A countermeasure item against the laws of time, of moderate value.】
The reward from the Hunting Journal, as always, was an item that would aid in hunting this species.
But this effect on Lindsey...
"No need to think, as long as I use this item, I can immediately escape the influence of the temporal anomaly."
Alice scratched her head, unmoved by any sense of pity. He wanted to save everyone, but at the very least, he intended to save Alice and Arona.
Moreover, the materials before him were not yet fully collected, and in the neighboring world, uranium ore awaited his mining!
"In any case, let's survive first."
"Now there's a guarantee, ensuring I can leave this place whenever I want."
Lindsey packed his belongings.
By this point, he had collected an ample amount of meteorites, and his magic runes had leveled up.
Lindsey was quite satisfied with his haul.
But before leaving, he looked down at the turtle shell beneath his feet, and an evil thought crossed his mind.
Ding-a-ling-a-ling—
Slap!
Bang!!!
Boom—
Sizzle...
A variety of weapons took turns in the battle.
With Lindsey's efforts, he proved that the Star Sea Turtle's shell had formidable defense. Only his light sword and water blade, when used together, managed to pry off a piece of the Star Sea Turtle's corpse.
However, holding it in his hand, it didn't meet the requirements and couldn't be certified as a synthesis material by the workbench.
"Tsk, what a waste of time."
Lindsey sheathed his light sword and rolled his eyes.
He activated his Puzzle Module skill, following the white light clues, and dug forward in the direction they led.
As meteorites fell—
The Star Sea Turtle was engaged in a battle with the Sea Phantom Overlord, and the distance between them wasn't too far.
Moreover, while digging—
Lindsey also obtained the hunting rewards from the Sea Phantom Overlord.
Weapon: Whisper of Roses
[A dagger with a special enchantment, capable of directly hitting targets even if the enemy has no physical form.]
[Achievement item, moderately valuable.]
"..."
"A phantom-type weapon effective against phantoms. It might not be useful most of the time, but it can be a lifesaver in critical moments."
Whisper of Roses was a golden dagger engraved with rose patterns.
Lindsey held it in his hand, studied it briefly, then tucked it into his bag and continued digging.
This time, he didn't take too long; among the meteorites, he found the Sea Phantom Overlord's corpse.
Strictly speaking, this couldn't even be considered a corpse.
Only under the guidance of the white light clues, a gloomy essence, a remnant of the essence, lingered in the crevices of the meteorites.
Ordinary awakened ones passing by probably wouldn't care.
But Lindsey knew that this was the remnant of the evil spirit, a remnant of the disaster-like phantom.
As he reached out to collect the material, the Sea Phantom Overlord's final breath also disappeared from before his eyes.
Material: Phantom Eye x2
[A pair of eyes left behind by a powerful phantom overlord. They emit a strong aura of curses and negative energy, prolonged exposure will weaken the soul of living beings; maintaining eye contact with these eyes may induce a weakened state. Can be used as a material to craft special equipment.]
[A rare material from a ghost, moderately valuable.]
"Moderately valuable."
"Not bad, having a harvest is always good."
Due to the material collection from the Star Sea Turtle, Lindsey didn't have high hopes for the materials from the Sea Phantom Overlord.
But as soon as he placed them on the workbench, a smile appeared on his face.
Because among the synthesis formulas for a series of phantom equipment, Lindsey found one that caught his attention.
1 Negative Crystal + 1 Premium Wood + 1 Superior Magical Sinew + 2 Phantom Eyes = Phantom Archer
