Chapter 92: Yoba’s Blessing
After speaking, Gunther reached under the counter and pulled out a dark green strip-shaped object. It seemed like stone, yet also resembled some kind of gemstone. Leon couldn’t tell what material it was.
“Take this. It’s the key to giving the Ancient Seed its vitality,” Gunther said, handing it to Leon. Leon accepted it with curiosity. It felt smooth, like a piece of jade that had been polished for many years, and it was heavy—clearly very dense.
Just like when he had received the bone fragment from Gunther last time, the moment Leon took the object, the System Prompt appeared.
“Yoba’s Blessing (???): A gift from the most ancient god. The bearer can draw upon the Power of Nature to awaken the vitality of life. Only effective on non-sentient beings.”
As before with the Ancient Mystery, the dark green object crumbled into powder after the System Prompt appeared, transforming into a special ability on Leon’s personal panel.
Gunther wasn’t surprised. Instead, he urged Leon, “Try it on the other seeds. I’m curious to see what an Ancient Seed will look like once it regains its vitality.”
Leon nodded and took out another seed. The moment it touched his hand, he felt a faint sense of longing from it. Almost by instinct, Leon gripped the Ancient Seed tightly.
In the next moment, a bright green glow surged from his palm. Wrapped in the light, the Ancient Seed radiated joy toward him. When the glow faded, Leon opened his hand and saw that the once dry husk of the seed had cracked, and a delicate sprout had emerged.
“Ancient Seed (Seed): An Ancient Seed that has sprouted. But can it really grow?”
