Chapter 229
The vast Deep Realm contained many unexplored territories. Among them was the Garden of Subjugation, where strange plant-like creatures sprouted from the cracked and discolored sandstone terrain. The ruler of this land, known as Vulcasus, presided over its bizarre flora.
***
[You have passed Vulcasus’ Trial.]
[You have been awarded a random artifact as a reward.]
[You have obtained the Prophet’s Demise.]
After a grueling battle lasting a hundred days, the sword orbiting the man vanished as he disabled his unique skill, Sword—Veligia. He examined his reward: the Prophet’s Demise. It resembled the pocket watches from the Rosas Continent, where he had once lived. However, it had no numbers to indicate time; the watch was hollow.
The artifact’s description soon appeared before him.
[The Prophet’s Demise reveals your future within three years.]
[When used, it will display either an angel or a demon. An angel indicates you will survive for three years, while a demon means the opposite.]
The man’s expression remained indifferent as he reviewed the artifact’s details. While others might find such a tool valuable, it was meaningless to him. After all, few in the Deep Realm could pose a threat to his life.
[The Prophet has unveiled your fate.]
The watch’s background shifted, revealing an angel spreading its wings and smiling brightly. The man nodded as if this outcome was expected and prepared to store the watch. But just as he was about to put it away, a demon replaced the angel.
