BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1825 Ring
Theo had arrived in front of a building. The building seemed to be a former apartment since he could see a few exposed rooms.
However, when he spread his Magic Power around the building, he noticed a fluctuation coming from the basement.
"Hmm?" Theo narrowed his eyes and gradually entered the building. He pulled out his weapon. On the one hand, he believed this fluctuation didn't come from a monster. On the other hand, he didn't know what he was dealing with, so he had to be careful.
He tried to locate the entrance to the basement. He used his Magic Power to infiltrate the door through the little gap to find which one led to the underground.
It didn't take too long for him to find it.
Without hesitation, Theo approached the door and gently opened it. But since it was locked, he ended up using his illusion to turn the door into an illusion, allowing him to break in without destroying the door.
"…" Theo narrowed his eyes as he felt the room was weirdly chilling. It felt like something was freezing inside, but it wasn't the fridge.
He climbed down the stairs carefully while covering his body with Magic Power, trying to find the one releasing this Magic Power.
It seemed the basement was for the utility of the apartment. He could see a few tools and equipment used to maintain the apartment sitting on a table in the middle of the room. The right side was filled with shelves containing a lot of equipment for the rooms.
But what piqued his interest was the opposite side. There was a blue-colored ring hanging on a small nail planted on the wall.
"Hmm?" Theo frowned. The ring had the size of a basketball, but it was oozing Magic Power continuously.
He looked around the room. Despite not being used for a few years, he didn't see any dust entering this room. Even the temperature was the same as outside due to the ventilation.
Theo thought the ring was the reason. Hence, he approached the ring carefully while trying to check its ability with his Reality Eyes.
"What is this ring?" Theo muttered. He had seen himself taking the ring in other realities, but there didn't seem to be any consequences yet.
At the same time, the Magic Power released by the ring was white in color. It was clear that the energy was an Order. However, he didn't know why such a thing appeared here.
"This is weird. This ring should have been noticed by the owner of the apartment this whole time. The owner would have gone to a pawn shop or police to report his finding. But the ring is still here… It means the owner didn't realize the ring's power.
"There are only two possibilities. The first one is that the ring is placed here deliberately after the apocalypse. And the second possibility…" Theo narrowed his eyes, observing the ring. "The ring just activates like this after the apocalypse. Although I want to say the ring is teleported due to the distortion in the apocalypse, the ring is not a living being. So, it doesn't get teleported.
"So, it means the ring is fluctuating like this because of the density of Magic Power. That's right. There is a big difference in Magic Power density before and after the apocalypse. Because of that sudden surge of Magic Power, the ring is activated.
"Still, the ring should have been activated when Argelia experienced that incident since this world is fused with the other side."
Theo couldn't explain everything. But it was true that the ring seemed to be reacting right now. Although he didn't know why it got activated, he could grab it and learn more back in his base.
Theo gulped down and used his Telekinesis to pick up the ring. He spun it around to observe the detail.
However, he couldn't find anything other than a smooth surface.
He didn't understand this ring, so he used his Order and Authority to check how this Order reacted.
But to his surprise, the ring was rejecting his energy as if they were not compatible. It wasn't that the ring repelled his energy because it attacked him, so Theo knew he could pick this ring and check about it later.
Isaac's eyes would certainly be necessary since he could see the amount of Magic Power coming out of this ring.
He tried to put it down on the ground to see if there was any change when it touched other surfaces.
Seeing there was no reaction from the ring, he immediately used his Telekinesis to carry it around and returned to the outside. Since he didn't know if this was the only clue left, he had to continue the investigation for a while.
He didn't waste any time going back since he was a bit worried about leaving two kids in the middle of nowhere. Although he had cleared the area before leaving, it didn't change the fact there would always be variables.
Fortunately, it seemed that the kids didn't have any mishaps. He could feel them hiding in the same building, waiting for him. There was no other presence other than them, so he hurriedly entered the building to find them.
As if knowing Theo had returned, both Lyrventh and Lydia rushed to meet him.
"Welcome back, Big Brother!" Lydia made a big smile, feeling relieved after seeing Theo was fine.
Lyrventh was narrowing his eyes even though he felt happy. There was something bothering him.
It was none other than the vibrating ring.
"Hmm? Is there something wrong?" Theo asked with a serious expression. He had just returned with an unknown object, so he still hadn't dropped his guard.
Lyrventh pointed at the ring and said, "I'm not sure, but the ring is vibrating."
"Yes. It's vibrating indeed. It's also releasing white-colored Magic Power." Theo nodded.
"I don't know about the Magic Power part, but the vibration seems to come from not the ring but the inside."
"!!!"
