Chapter 44: Unsealing
The sky was thick with darkness, and upon closer inspection, one could feel the darkness flowing. This was the Ancient Dragon Kingdom, Eberus, a transcendent realm from the First Era. Now, the immortal radiance of the ancient wyverns was long gone, and this place had become a world shrouded in darkness.
For some reason, the scene before him was completely different from what Su Xiao had seen when he first came to the Ancient Dragon Kingdom Eberus. The reason for this was that the "Ancient Dragon Kingdom" and "Eberus" had already become two separate places.
This dark former transcendent realm was the "Ancient Dragon Kingdom," while the place Su Xiao had visited before—a magnificent land with no snow, but frost and biting winds, with buildings in cold-toned styles—was "Eberus."
The stone bridge a kilometer above, the confinement tower at its end, and the white dragon girl inside the tower were all in "Eberus."
To put it more intuitively, before the Ancient Dragon faction was completely defeated, the ancient wyverns had peeled off a small world region of the "Ancient Dragon Kingdom," forming "Eberus"—a hidden small world that existed independently yet was enveloped by the "Ancient Dragon Kingdom."
Afterward, the Sun God clan, having won a pyrrhic victory, stored the legacies of both the Sun God clan and the Ancient Dragon faction in "Eberus," unwilling to let the gods who sought to revive and recreate the First Era's divine age benefit.
The "Ancient Dragon Kingdom" was shrouded in endless night. No matter how harsh the environment, living beings would strive and persist, seeking to live better. Thus, in this dark world, a sanctuary city named "Ancient Dragon City" gave people a bit of breathing room amidst the endless darkness.
Looking up from within Ancient Dragon City, one could see a crystal dome several kilometers high and the pitch-black rock above it. A striking sight was the corpse of an ancient wyvern, its dragon head protruding from the dome, with a spear embedded in it. Below the spear's blade was the insignia of the Sun God clan. Just seeing this ancient wyvern corpse evoked the grandeur and brutality of the war between the sun and the dragons.
The pale yellow crystal dome emitted a faint glow, casting a dim light over Ancient Dragon City. Though this city of millions was dilapidated, it had a vibrant urban atmosphere. Steam rose from the gaps in the drainage ditch covers along the streets. Bald rats, long adapted to the hot steam, crawled through the steaming drains.
The pedestrians on the streets wore worn-out clothes, and more than half were malnourished. Yet, they were not numb to life due to the scarcity of resources. Having witnessed the terrifying darkness outside the sanctuary, they were genuinely grateful to live in Ancient Dragon City. Some who had lived in smaller sanctuaries firmly believed that in this world of endless night, there was no better place than Ancient Dragon City.
Just then, a group of men and women, clad in armor made of special fabric with evenly sized metal plates attached, hurriedly ran down the street. They wielded various weapons—some were supernatural cold weapons, others were high-tech firearms. This group boarded an open-air elevator at the street corner, heading to the lower level of Ancient Dragon City.
Ancient Dragon City had two levels. It wasn't that the wealthy were on the upper level and the commoners on the lower. Rather, gangs, factions, cults, underground brokers, criminals, and the like were ordered or exiled to the lower city. Civilians, workers, artisans, farmers, herders, city officials, and guards were all on the upper level.
In response, the shady characters of the lower city did not feel dissatisfied or seek revenge. Gang members, black marketeers, and criminals also needed to eat. Without the productivity of the upper city, the material output of the lower city would force all its denizens to eat dirt within half a year.
Don't think eating dirt was a metaphor. Outside Ancient Dragon City was the darkness of endless night—a thick darkness that even fire and light could not dispel. Even the shady characters of the lower city would surely die if they went out.
If the rules were broken and the upper city lost its productivity, the thugs of the lower city had two choices: 1. Eat buildings, 2. Eat dirt. Compared to building stones, dirt was relatively easier to digest.
As for the criminals becoming farmers or herders, that underestimated the environment of Ancient Dragon City. To grow crops here, one needed corresponding abilities as support. Without sunlight and with the land's nutrients completely depleted, nothing could be grown.
Farmers and herders could not control the shady characters of the lower city. They had almost no combat power. If the desperate thugs were pushed too far, no one would survive. Thus, a balance had been struck between the two sides.
The upper city ensured the supply of necessities. The lower city was responsible for dealing with threats from the darkness that might attack one of the three city gates. When such threats arose, the thugs of the lower city had to rush to defend the gates. However, these dark threats might not come for years or even decades. The longest interval was over a century without an attack.
The lower city was rife with cults and rampant gangs. But today, one of the oldest cults in Ancient Dragon City, the Dark God Cult, was about to be eradicated from this sanctuary.
When a wall crumbles, everyone pushes it. The Dark Cathedral was surrounded by various factions. Inside the half-burned cathedral were severed limbs and dangling corpses from the chandeliers. Members of the Abyss Gang had been hostile to the Dark God Cult for years. Today, as the cult fell, the Abyss Gang was the instigator.
"Archbishop, come out. Hiding in a rat hole is too ugly."
The second-in-command of the Abyss Gang spoke with a face full of smiles. This wasn't a metaphor but a description. This large, obese man's smile indeed caused his facial fat to bunch up severely.
Only four members of the Dark God Cult in this world survived: the Dark Saintess, who had no combat power; Skeletal Bishop Gansaru; Heresy Inquisitor Diana; and the severely injured Archbishop of the Abyss, Adrian, who lay bedridden in the inner chamber of the cathedral.
Surrounded by powerful enemies outside and within the cathedral, if not for Skeletal Bishop Gansaru and Heresy Inquisitor Diana holding the line, the enemies would have already stormed the inner chamber and killed Archbishop Adrian.
Skeletal Bishop Gansaru and Heresy Inquisitor Diana exchanged glances. The former, a middle-aged man with meticulously groomed hair and beard, had not fled, showing his piety and loyalty to the Dark God Cult. The latter, Diana, had not escaped because she couldn't. She had never done anything truly evil. In terms of moral value, aside from the Dark Saintess in the inner chamber, no one in the entire cult had higher ethics than her.
Gansaru, surrounded by dark energy, and Diana, gripping a flaming sword, both knew they would die here today. After exchanging glances, they understood each other's intent: even if they died here, they would make the enemies pay a heavy price.
Meanwhile, in the inner chamber of the cathedral, behind a thin curtain, on a large bed surrounded by several corpses, lay a pale-faced man who looked 90% like the original Archbishop of the Abyss. His eyes were closed. Nearby, the Dark Saintess, crying grievously, was doing her best to heal him.
The Dark Saintess was pitiful. She had been captured by the Dark God Cult a few years ago due to her healing talent. Since then, this kind-hearted girl, who couldn't bear to watch animals being killed at the market and would quickly walk away, had to maintain an image of evil and purity before the faithful.
Playing evil required no explanation—just pretending to be cruel verbally. The worst thing she had done was probably buying slaughtered chickens and ducks at the market. However, the Dark Saintess had professional ethics. After cooking these delicacies, she would swallow her saliva, close her eyes, and mentally perform a soul requiem for the little creatures before eating. She loved small animals dearly—she couldn't do without them at every meal.
As for purity, that made the Dark Saintess want to cry even more. She was already 20 years old! She desperately wanted a boyfriend and a sweet romance. But thinking about the consequences, she could only shiver in fear and continue pretending to be ascetic and pure.
When the Dark God Cult was destroyed this time, the Dark Saintess cried tears of joy until she blew a big snot bubble. However, Heresy Inquisitor Diana's words poured cold water on her, chilling her to the bone: "You stupid glutton, you're the Dark Saintess. Though you have no real power, in terms of status, you're definitely a higher-up than me. Guess what the Abyss Gang will do to you? They'll use every means imaginable to make you regret every second of your existence."
Just as the Saintess was crying and wondering what to do, the Archbishop of the Abyss suddenly sat up on the bed. The ferocious wounds on his chest healed at a visible rate. Not only that, but his physique became more robust, and his face grew more dignified. His eyes, in particular, exuded a powerful soul-pressing presence just by meeting his gaze.
Having just completed his resurrection, the Archbishop of the Abyss pressed a hand to his forehead. Through the memories of the souls he had devoured, he quickly understood the situation. He glanced at the Dark Saintess beside him, then at the closed metal door of the inner chamber. Clearly, the Archbishop was quite pleased with this hellish difficulty start.
Blazing Sun Star, Twilight City, Inner District.
On the steel bed in the lowest level of the Great Library, Su Xiao opened his eyes. The four Sun Scholars around the bed looked at him with increasing satisfaction. Not only was he the inheritor of their "Sun Healing Secret Art," but he had also remained expressionless during the treatment. Moreover, during the high-difficulty treatment, he had used Spirit Shadow Threads to assist at critical moments.
One elderly Sun Scholar's gaze clearly showed that he had found this treatment exhilarating and satisfying. He was even considering beating Su Xiao up on the spot and then treating him again. Fortunately, a new Sun Scholar with a mature voice stopped this behavior.
Under the reluctant gazes of the four Sun Scholars, Su Xiao quickened his pace toward the elevator. As soon as he opened it, he saw Amu waiting inside. When they reached the Great Library, Amu had refused to enter the lowest level.
Arriving at the upper level of the Great Library, Su Xiao saw the old monster wiping an ancient book in front of a bookshelf. Seeing Su Xiao, the old monster gestured for him to come closer. After searching the shelf, he took down a book with a charred cover.
"Give this to him for me. After so many years, the Sun God clan is nearing its end. We should reconcile."
After handing the book to Su Xiao, the old monster sighed deeply and muttered, "Ah, this old thing about to die of old age can't taste anything but fine wine anymore. At this age, I might not even get to drink a proper one before I die."
Su Xiao took out a bottle of Elemental Brew and placed it on the table. Seeing this, the old monster's smile deepened. "As a Law Destroyer, you're much better than that female Law Destroyer who would pull out a handful of my beard without a word. By the way, do you know that female Law Destroyer? She was a powerhouse from the Second Era."
"I've heard of her. Not familiar."
"Is that so? I actually owe that female Law Destroyer a few million Soul Coins. I'm old and about to die, always thinking about settling old debts. If you're familiar with her, why don't I give you these Soul Coins to return to her? Her name is Green Gillian."
The old monster's pitch-black eyes were full of "kindness" and "sincerity."
"As far as I know, she died many years ago." Su Xiao now understood why Green Gillian had sneaked around and been reluctant to enter the inner district when she last came to Twilight City.
"Really dead?"
Su Xiao looked at the old monster beside him. His top-tier acting skills made the old monster suppress his increasingly uncontrollable aura of a supreme powerhouse.
"What a pity. This debt has become a thorn in my side."
If the old monster hadn't been grinding his molars audibly while saying this, Su Xiao might have believed him.
It was time to leave this place. Su Xiao turned and walked away. Just a few steps later, a voice came from behind: "Wait. I heard you're collecting Sun Coins. I used to have a lot of them, but I gave them all to the fifth-generation Blazing Sun King. Recently, I had my men gather some. Wait a moment."
The old monster opened a hidden door in the bookshelf and entered a secret room. After thinking for at least half a minute, he suddenly remembered that the large bag of Sun Coins was under the desk outside. He walked to the desk and had Amu pick up an oversized money bag.
"Go on. Don't delay my enjoyment of this rare wine. I wonder where you got such a fine brew."
"I brewed it."
"Ah? Are you serious?"
"Yes."
"Excellent, very good. Then leave me another bottle."
When Su Xiao walked out of the Great Library, he had one less bottle of Elemental Brew in his storage space. He got into a vehicle at the library entrance, and the driver, Delona, yawned.
That noon, at Su Xiao's temporary residence, Ayesha, with pitch-black eyes, enjoyed her lunch. Interestingly, Ayesha, who was indifferent to the outside world, had a fondness for food. During the meal, she occasionally glanced at the Star Devourer—a classic case of eyeing the ingredients while eating.
When Ayesha repeatedly mentioned how delicious Star Dragons were, Su Xiao denied it. Looking at her, he said, "You remember wrong." Ayesha hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded, admitting she was mistaken.
Ayesha was sure that if she didn't say that, she would get beaten today. Others might not dare, but as a Law Destroyer who had sealed six daddy-rank Original Sin objects, Su Xiao certainly dared to beat a stubborn Ayesha.
After confirming that Ayesha had never tasted Star Dragons and that even the God Incarnations couldn't defeat a peak Star Dragon, the Star Devourer ate with renewed relish.
Why did Su Xiao make Ayesha say that? He had his eye on the "Special Mission: Star Realm Rules." The core of this mission was to have the Star Devourer develop toward the Star Dragon system. If Ayesha, as the incubator incarnation, kept thinking about eating Star Dragons, how could the Star Devourer be willing to develop in that direction?
Moreover, the Star Dragon devoured by the God Incarnations and the Dark Incubator wasn't actually top-tier in combat power. If a Star Dragon developed fully, it could reach the "Supreme Peak," at which point it would see everything as ingredients.
This time, Su Xiao took out the "Fate Dominator."
The "Fate Dominator" had undergone a qualitative upgrade. He had heard of the maximum benefit from chests, but he hadn't expected the "Fate Dominator" to achieve this. Although there was only a 15% chance of obtaining the maximum benefit when opening chests, it was still a qualitative improvement.
Currently, the "Fate Dominator" had 32 names of the strong inscribed on it. Due to the previous inscription limit, the strong enemies he had defeated in the Witch Realm had not been inscribed. Now that the "Fate Dominator" had been upgraded, they could finally be inscribed. The total was:
Si, Chi, An, Shan, Xi, Qian, Jia, Ba, Zhao, Zui
Hei (Black King)
Yue (Ancient God, Moon God)
Tie (Sera Guardian, Iron Feather King)
Yi (Hetero King)
Yuan (Source Guardian, Edri Dewen)
Xue (Blood God, Gehpuss)
Yin (Canglong Continent, Duoyin King)
Shi (Immortal, Rogesh)
Yu (Dark Star, Feather God, Hegra)
E (Demon Sea, Doom Number Third Captain, Nameless Captain)
Yin (Law Destruction Ally, Silver, Moon Wolf)
Qi (World of Paintings, Old Knight)
You (Abyss First Daughter, Yuro)
Hui (Violator, Gray Gentleman)
Di (Nether Emperor)
Lang (Wolf Knight Captain)
Shen (Immortal God)
Ying (Abyssal Shadow)
Shou (Old Beast King)
Junzhu (Scarlet Monarch)
Gu (Ancient King)
Wu (Primordial Witch)
Putting away the "Fate Dominator," Su Xiao stood up and walked to the inner hall. This place was small, only 20 square meters, with a sofa, wall cabinet, coffee table, and so on. Specimens hung on the walls, and a carpet covered the floor. The temperature in Twilight City had dropped sharply, and the steam pipes had started heating. The wind howled outside, but the room was warm and cozy. He sat back on the single sofa and began to contemplate his next moves.
First was the Fated Hand, Ashwiss. This guy could leave Blazing Sun Star at any time, so he needed to find him first. He was counting on Ashwiss to help obtain the "Power Fragment: Soul Will."
To this end, Su Xiao had sent Amu and Baha an hour ago to the Vanguard Fortress to wait for the three scoundrel Arbitrators and Ashwiss, who were coming out of the Lightless Zone.
As for whether Ashwiss would be willing to help, Su Xiao wasn't worried. There were only four realm-level teleportation arrays in this world. The one at the Soul Academy had exploded and wouldn't be repaired for years. The one at the Divine Cult had been half-destroyed by Luciwa. That's right, the Divine Cult and Luciwa had clashed.
Speaking of which, the Divine Cult was unlucky. In the dangerous Holy Heart City, all members of the Divine Cult were both skilled and crazy. Whether it was the Soul Academy, the Great Library, the old nobles, or the new power brokers, anyone who fought them would suffer.
But the Divine Cult had to pick a fight with Luciwa. Holy Heart City was dangerous, but was it more dangerous than the Lightless Zone? Luciwa and his hunting group had been exploring the Lightless Zone for years.
As a result, the Divine Cult, which had been defiant toward Twilight City, was beaten senseless in the initial clash. Not only was the Divine Cult stunned, but after the deaths of the old noble Augustus and Finance Minister Blackbersha, the old nobles and new power brokers, still unsure of their own assets, were shocked to find that the hunting group directly under the old noble faction was this fierce.
The old nobles were grinning from ear to ear. However, they soon discovered that the orders and documents they issued were too rough for Luciwa to even use as toilet paper. He ignored them entirely. These old nobles and new power brokers hadn't realized that Augustus and Blackbersha had not been controlling Luciwa but suppressing him.
In the end, Augustus, Blackbersha, and the old legion commander had been equals. When the old legion commander suddenly died, the handover of connections and interests was mishandled, causing Luciwa to be temporarily subordinate to Augustus and Blackbersha.
The conflict between Luciwa and the Divine Cult was, of course, not orchestrated by Su Xiao behind the scenes. However, when he caught wind of it, he mentioned to Luciwa that he should try to blow up the realm-level teleportation array.
Now, only two realm-level teleportation arrays remained: one at the Great Library and one with the old nobles. The one with the old nobles had suddenly malfunctioned due to an "accident."
In other words, the only usable realm-level teleportation array was the one at the Great Library. Coincidentally, this array had also malfunctioned. The only person in the entire Star Realm who could repair it was Su Xiao. Why? Because if anyone else dared to repair it, the library scholars would blast them to death.
Su Xiao didn't need to kidnap Ashwiss. Sooner or later, the guy would come knocking on his door.
Compared to this, the more important matter was dealing with the God Incarnations. In this deadly battle, Su Xiao had a 50% chance of winning.
This wasn't boasting. He had long had a trump card, but the previous chaotic battles weren't suitable for revealing it. Once he was properly prepared this time, he would unleash all his trump cards.
Apart from this trump card, he needed to improve his own strength. Thinking of this, Su Xiao took out the "Book of Original Sin." The "Sun Mask" sealed within it could allow the holder to quickly gain power, but Su Xiao didn't plan to use this method.
By paying a price, one could permanently enhance their strength through the "Sun Mask." Unlike other Original Sin objects, where losing the right to hold it meant the gained power disappeared immediately, the "Sun Mask" didn't grant power—it genuinely enhanced it.
Each enhancement from the "Sun Mask" was roughly 20% of the holder's current overall strength, meaning all attributes +20% and all skill levels +20%. If a skill was maxed out and couldn't be improved, the corresponding enhancement would be converted to physical limits, skill potential limits, and so on.
Each time one received an enhancement from the "Sun Mask," they had to wear it for a period. The first enhancement required wearing it for 1 day, the second for 2 days, the third for 4 days. Before the time limit was up, no matter what method was used, the mask couldn't be removed.
At first glance, the "Sun Mask" seemed far from a dangerous daddy-rank Original Sin object—it was clearly a divine artifact for enhancing strength. However, once one started using the "Sun Mask" to enhance themselves, they couldn't stop. The "Sun Mask" represented "Original Sin: Pride." This Original Sin object would not allow its holder to stagnate.
Furthermore, every 10 natural days formed a cycle. If the holder couldn't enhance their overall strength by one-fifth within a cycle, the "Sun Mask" on their face would start to burn. First the flesh, then the soul, until the holder was completely reduced to ashes.
From this perspective, as long as one used the "Sun Mask" to enhance themselves every 10 natural days, it would be fine. However, starting from the fourth enhancement, the cost was wearing the mask for 16 natural days.
This daddy-rank Original Sin object consumed a lot of the holder's fate. Each day of wearing the "Sun Mask" consumed a significant amount of fate. An ordinary person's total fate wouldn't even qualify them to wear the mask for a second.
After the fifth enhancement, one would have to wear the mask for 256 days. That didn't seem too bad—less than a year. A ninth-rank contractor should be able to handle it.
But after the sixth enhancement, one would have to wear the mask for 65,536 days, roughly 180 years. The seventh enhancement required 32,400 years. The eighth required 1 billion years. And the ninth...
There was no need for a ninth enhancement. What amount of fate could withstand 1 billion years? At this stage, it was no longer about wearing the mask for a day and consuming a day's worth of fate. After the eighth enhancement, the "Original Sin Karma" and the "Holder's Fate" would be weighed on the Sun Scale. If the scale tipped, the holder's fate would be consumed by the "Sun Mask" in the next second.
At that point, the person wearing the "Sun Mask" would raise their arms to the sky, making a posture of praising the sun. The sun above would continuously expand until it ignited the entire world. When the sun's flames burned the world to the point of collapse, turning it into Star Realm dust, the mask would have completed a curtain call of Pride Original Sin. This was the price of daring to seek power from the Pride Original Sin.
Su Xiao could seal six daddy-rank Original Sin objects. A key point was that he never used these Original Sin objects. The exception was the Scarlet Monarch, but that wasn't using it—it was a temporary cooperation to smash the Scarlet Scepter.
Putting down the "Book of Original Sin," which had recently sealed the "Sun Mask," Su Xiao needed to frequently observe its changes to avoid any accidents. As for whether someone might steal the "Book of Original Sin" from the coffee table, Su Xiao's view was: if such a talent existed, please contact him immediately and inform him of the whereabouts. There would be a heavy reward.
Opening the title list, Su Xiao took out the "Abyssal Shadow." "Limit Burn 3 times" was not the limit of this title. "Limit Burn 5 times" was the limit he had prepared.
Using the existing Sun Coins, he exchanged for 268 nine-star titles. Combined with the attribute-less nine-star titles he had saved, he opened the two title burning discs certified by the Void Tree and Reincarnation Paradise and began synthesizing attribute-less nine-star titles.
Four hours later, the two title burning discs gradually cooled. Five "Limit Burn 3 times" attribute-less nine-star titles were in his title list. He had 21,940 Sun Coins left. To achieve "Limit Burn 5 times" for the "Abyssal Shadow," he would need a large number of Sun Coins.
Su Xiao pulled the title burning disc certified by Reincarnation Paradise closer. With a clang of metal, the "Limit Burn 3 times" "Abyssal Shadow" was embedded in the center of the burning disc. In the five auxiliary title slots around it, each was embedded with a "Limit Burn 3 times" attribute-less nine-star title.
According to an unknown senior's statistics, the success rate of going from "Limit Burn 3 times" to "Limit Burn 4 times" was less than 5%. But that was using five ordinary nine-star titles as auxiliary titles to provide title energy. This time, Su Xiao's title burning had a 100% success rate. He always believed in one saying: if luck isn't enough, use strength to make up for it. He didn't believe a 100% success rate could fail.
The title burning began. Su Xiao pushed the increasingly hot title burning disc away. What he was about to do next was quite dangerous. Not only because the God Incarnations' combat power was absurd, but also because he estimated that the God Incarnations were not the final boss of this world. In other words, after defeating the God Incarnations, the subsequent enemies would be even stronger.
Under these circumstances, Su Xiao made a decision. He raised his left hand, and with a few clicks, the Black King Bracer expanded. After pulling out his left arm, the black bracer closed. This bracer, named "Soul: King's Coronation," had five layers of seals, designed to seal the "Dead Silence Origin" inside.
However, the power of the "Soul: King's Coronation" bracer came from the "Dead Silence Origin" inside. Therefore, the weaker the seal on the "Dead Silence Origin," the stronger the bracer became. Correspondingly, the risks were higher.
Currently, the "Soul: King's Coronation" had two seals on the "Dead Silence Origin." Su Xiao planned to remove the outer layer. This would cause the "Dead Silence Origin" to trigger a qualitative change in the bracer.
Su Xiao wasn't making this decision recklessly. The eighth page of the "Book of Original Sin" had been fully formed. If anything unexpected happened, he was confident he could seal the "Dead Silence Origin" into the "Book of Original Sin."
Unsealing the Black King Bracer came with risks and rewards. He was certain that the bracer's most perfect form would be when only one seal remained on the "Dead Silence Origin" inside.
Su Xiao flexed his left arm and wrapped a pre-prepared seal-blocking medium around his left forearm and hand. As he activated it, the medium dissolved, and dark red spiral runes crawled onto the skin of his arm. He manipulated the Black King Bracer to expand and then put it back on.
A roar sounded in Su Xiao's ears. The next moment, white cotton-like objects floated around. Death, misfortune, stillness, and the like enveloped the surroundings. Then, in a grand hall, Su Xiao sat on the Dead Silence Throne. Phantoms of the Dead People, Tree Erosion, Dark Spirit Butterflies, Pale Hunters, Crow Doctors, Choir Groups, Wolf Knights, Lone Warriors, and Sin Collectives appeared on either side or behind the throne.
Crack, crack...
The seals on the Black King Bracer on Su Xiao's left arm shattered. When the seals on the bracer burst apart, the phantom of the Immortal God appeared behind the throne. The towering Immortal God pointed its clawed index finger at Su Xiao on the throne below. All the surrounding phantoms either prostrated in reverence, foreheads pressed to the ground, knelt on one knee with respect, or bowed in salute.
A pulling sensation hit Su Xiao. When he opened his eyes, he was still in the warm and cozy inner hall, sitting on the single sofa.
[Soul: King's Coronation has successfully removed one layer of seal.]
[Remaining seals: One layer (The fewer the seals, the more powerful this equipment will be).]
