Chapter 48
Do-Jun pulled on the ribbon of the neatly wrapped package. As the bow came undone, the question mark wrapping paper came apart smoothly to reveal a monochrome sphere.
Do-Jun held the sphere in his palm, and a message appeared.
[Would you like to open the artifact?]
[Please infuse mana to open the artifact. Required mana: 5]
Do-Jun’s internal energy flowed from his dantian through his fingertips and into the unidentified artifact. However, despite his effort to infuse a minimal amount, the artifact could not absorb it all, and the residual energy returned from his fingertips to his dantian.
[The artifact begins to shine!]
The sphere glowed faintly red.
Seeing this, Yoon-Hee’s expression brightened.
“It’s not a dud,” she said, sounding relieved.
“Good.”
The light emitted by the sphere gradually shifted from red to orange, then from orange to yellow.
