Even the most beautiful words could not describe the beauty of the sky.
The scepter that was sealed in the crystal pillar was about a meter tall. At the top of the scepter was a diamond-shaped diamond, and around the diamond floated a metal ring.
On the ring, there were five gemstones of the same size and color.
They revolved around the diamond-shaped Sky Diamond.
The scepter did not look like it was made of any material at all. Instead, it looked more like a self-contained world that was restricted by an invisible boundary.
The dazzling blue color constantly changed, emitting a psychedelic glow.
The moment Jenn saw the scepter, he immediately understood its identity.
This was one of the rulers of the sky, a part of the Sky Scepter — — Sky Boundary.
In fact, when Jenn told the story of the Sky Scepter to Steve and the others, he deliberately concealed a rather important part — — the so-called Sky Scepter was not just a scepter, but the name of a set of artifacts.
Apart from the Sky Boundary which was in the form of a scepter, there were also the Star Ring, the Sun Crown and the Moon Bracelet. These four combined to form the complete Sky Scepter.
Among them, the Sky Boundary naturally represented the sky itself, while the Sun Crown, the Ring and the Bracelet represented the Sun, the Moon and the Stars respectively.
The owner of these four sacred artifacts was the ruler of the sky.
However, most of these combined artifacts did not end up well, and the same went for the Sky Scepter.
During the turmoil, the Star Ring and the Moon Bracelet disappeared, the Sun Crown was kept by the royal family, and the Sky Boundary was sealed.
After that, the throne of the Firmament Kingdom was considered to have completely lost its inheritance. Without any of the four treasures, there was no way to obtain the complete authority of the Firmament Kingdom. Not only that, apart from possessing the royal bloodline, the holder also needed to be recognized by the four artifacts to be able to use it.
This kind of extremely harsh conditions could not be effectively passed down.
After all, as long as one of the artifacts was lost forever, it would be impossible to regain the position of the Sky Lord. During the turmoil, two components of the Sky Scepter were completely lost. Under such circumstances, even Jenn himself did not think that anyone could regain the recognition of the artifact.
However, Jenn didn't expect that one of the four divine artifacts, the Celestial Boundary, would be sealed in this Magus Tower, and from the looks of it, it seemed to be trying to lure Tilly to bring it out.
But no matter what, this artifact would soon belong to him.
At this thought, the corners of Jenn's mouth curled up into an ice-cold smile. Then, he strode into the room.
"Crash!!"
As soon as Jenn entered the room, all of a sudden, the statuesque armored guards in the corner leaped to their feet. They brandished their mithril swords and surrounded Jenn from all directions. Then, eight silver blade rays slashed down from above, blasting toward Jenn.
"Foolish."
Facing the magical guards' attacks, Jenn wasn't mindful at all. He held the Aquamarine Light in his right hand and swung it forward.
At the next moment, countless ice shards erupted from beneath Jenn's feet, forming an incomparably sturdy barrier that blocked the magical guards' attacks.
Then, Zayen held his sword with both hands and glanced at the magic guards surrounding him from both sides. Then, he gripped the hilt of his sword with a backhand grip and stabbed the sword hard into the ground.
At the next moment, bone-chilling air erupted from the ground, coalescing into a blue, fog-like presence that wrapped around the magical guards.
In the blink of an eye, white frost rapidly climbed up the Magic Guard's body.
In the blink of an eye, the movements of the magical guards became stiff and slow. But even so, they didn't stop moving, and continued to attack Zayen relentlessly.
And at that moment, Jenn made his move.
The Mithril Sword whizzed down, cleaving apart the afterimage of Jenn, who remained in place. At the same time, he dodged the magical guards' first round of attacks.
Then, Jenn's Aquamarine Light penetrated the magical guards' rough, sturdy armor in an arc from top to bottom.
Shortly after, a powerful force erupted in an instant, brutally shredding the enemies in front of him into pieces.
The other magical guards weren't mindful of their companion's miserable state. After missing their first attack, they raised their swords and swept at Jenn.
As for the debris that rained down on them, the magical guards weren't bothered at all. Instead, they continued to move forward.
At the same time, the crisscrossed icicles rose from the ground again, blocking their way.
A thick icicle whizzed up and hit the Mithril Greatsword, causing the Magical Guards to lose their balance and retreat. At this moment, the Sea Blue Light in Zayen's hand had already pierced through their bodies. Then, with a backhand flick, two more Magical Guards were sent flying. They crashed into the wall and scattered, no longer moving.
The last magical guard suddenly became difficult to deal with.
When Jenn heard the sound of the wind and turned around, the first thing that came into view was a Mithril Sword. The runes on the sword flickered one after another, emanating a dazzling radiance. The sword roared and slashed at the target in front of him with unparalleled magical power.
Secret spell!
Seeing these runes, Zayen was shocked. Occult spells were a rather dangerous type of spell. They were powerful and almost impossible to resist.
The only flaw of secret spells was that they could only be triggered when they came into contact with the target.
This also made it useless for mages because apart from battle mages, few mages would engage in melee combat.
Even battle mages would mostly launch attacks from mid-range and wouldn't engage in melee combat like warriors.
However, these magic guards obviously didn't need to worry about this problem. Although they weren't real spellcasters, all they did was activate the secret spells stored in their weapons. Judging from the amount of magic power stored in their weapons, they could only be used once at most.
But to Jenn, once was enough.
Although the secret spell had this flaw, it was still a very dangerous spell for the Demon Race.
The effect of secret spells depended on contact. In other words, even if one touched a strand of hair, it would be able to exert its effects.
In the history of Demons, there were many Demons who fell for secret spells due to carelessness.
Was it a seal?
Or an imprisonment?
Staring at the Mithril Greatsword that was swung at him, Zayen calmed down in an instant. Since his opponent launched a surprise attack from behind, Zayen had no way of determining the sequence of the runes that lit up. But he knew very well that the biggest characteristic of occult spells was that they were not spells that directly killed, but were more inclined to constrain.
Of course, this wasn't a good thing for Jenn. He wasn't interested in living his life sealed in a greatsword or magical armor.
But fortunately, Jenn wasn't fighting alone.
"Ina, attack!"
Clang!
Almost at the same time as Zayen shouted, the half-elf (or rather, succubus) maiden nearby had already nocked an arrow on her bow. Then, Ina moved her right hand slightly and an arrow flew out from the bowstring, hitting the Mithril sword that was swung at Zayen squarely.
Ina wasn't strong enough to deflect a magical guard's attack.
But this wasn't important. To Jenn, the most significant thing was that Ina's arrow struck the magical guard's weapon.
Shing — — —!
As expected, the instant the arrow struck the Magic Guard's Mithril Sword, a golden light rune erupted and bound the arrow entirely. Then, in a flash of brilliance, the arrow vanished entirely.
At the same time, the Mithril greatsword that was emanating magical radiance dimmed and returned to its original state.
The magical guard attempted to retreat, but at that moment, a shadow emerged before it silently.
Jenn raised his arm and the Aquamarine Light flashed in an ice-cold flash, penetrating the magical guard in front of him and stabbing into the crystal pillar behind it.
It was impossible for the Magic Guard to suddenly increase its intelligence. It was obvious that something had attached itself to the Magic Guard's body, causing it to activate the Secret Spell on the Mithril Greatsword and launch a sneak attack on him.
As for the culprit behind all this, Zayen had already noticed it.
The magical guard that lost its mobility stopped moving and hung motionlessly in midair.
Behind it, the crystal pillar that sealed the scepter began to gradually shatter. Spiderweb-like cracks began to rapidly appear on the originally smooth surface and spread.
Then, with a loud bang, the crystal pillar completely shattered and collapsed.
"Ah — — —!"
At the same time, a sharp, blood-curdling scream erupted from the crystal pillar. Shortly after, Jenn witnessed a blue figure emerging from the crystal pillar. It was a woman with long, silver-whitish hair. She wore an azure dress and emanated a faint glow unique to the spirit body.
At that moment, she raised her arms and hugged her head tightly, screaming with all her might as though she had a splitting headache.
Upon witnessing the woman's appearance, Jenn revealed an ice-cold smile.
Finally, I've caught you.
