Chapter 273: Seventy-Second Floor, The Forgotten God (4)
[Complete Tunyak’s additional request. Time remaining: 22 hours 42 minutes.]
To be precise, the light—a sacred, radiant emerald glow—came from the deep green gem embedded in the necklace.
Tunyak was clearly startled by the luminous flare, and he whipped his head in my direction. “Gasp!”
Not a second later, he turned his gaze back to the stone door.
Idiot. He nearly slipped.
Even so, I didn’t dare look directly at the necklace either. The sensation alone was vivid enough to retain my focus.
As the light grew stronger, the feeling of the necklace brushing against my neck began to fade, gradually thinning like mist dissolving in water. It was just like when Ha Hee-Jeong had enchanted me with the Thunderstone, almost as if the necklace were seeping into me.
The moment the green light vanished, I realized that the necklace had assimilated with me.
An unfamiliar power surged through me, far beyond anything Doppy’s buffs could offer. More importantly, however, the pressure pushing against me didn’t increase alongside my newfound strength.
Huh?
At the same time, something warm and chilling brushed against the nape of my neck before sliding along my arm. All of my hair stood on end.
I knew that touch. It was the same sensation I had felt on the second floor, that of Paraktus placing the necklace on me while I supported the boulder.
