Chapter 137: A dangerous game
‘Rings of Sacrilege…’ Percy struggled to keep himself from drooling.
Reading some more into the book, he quickly learned a few more important details about the priceless artifacts. Apparently, the usual rules still applied to mortals, restricting them to a single blessing per person.
‘Or perhaps per core?’ he speculated with some hope in his eyes.
That said, this only happened once they fully absorbed the ring’s concept. Until then, they were free to take the ring off and switch to a different one.
‘Yeah… Let’s try getting the first one before worrying about that…’ he chuckled bitterly.
Beyond that, he still needed to have the correct affinity for each ring, which complicated matters once again. He was sure at least one of them should have a pure concept – given how common the affinity was – but that might not be relevant to him once the lotus bloomed.
Preferably, Percy wanted one related to the soul affinity, as that might have some positive effect on his bloodline. Still, he understood that beggars couldn’t be choosers. Who knew whether Svarog had even found a god with such a rare affinity to kill? Not to mention the difficulty in beating countless gods to such a treasure.
What surprised him the most, however, was a footnote at the very end of the book. Reading the message, Percy was quite certain Metatron had personally added it for him.
“Note: The Vault of Magic possesses four rings in total, with blessings related to the fire, earth, water and time affinities.”
