BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2108 A Piece of ???
The corrupted elder dryad knew that it was not going to succeed in this fight and decided to retreat. Before the corrupted elder dryad retreated, she released a powerful spike from her body which headed towards Adrian. This was the last-ditch attempt of the corrupted elder dryad to try and kill Adrian as she knew that he was a summoner. As long as the summoner dies, she might not need to escape with her life.
Adrian sensed the danger, but it was actually something that he could not see clearly. In order to know where that danger was, Adrian used some of his remaining mana to stop time. When Adrian stopped time, it was when he saw the threat that was about to take his life. A large thorny stake was about three inches near his face.
"Such a close call. So, there are attacks that even I cannot see or even my soulbounds." Adrian stated as he created a small portal in front of his face.
Adrian made time flow again and the corrupted elder dryad was thrilled as her hidden attack was not detected. The corrupted elder dryad was about to laugh when something pierced her head. She was supposed to escape and give information to her queen. The corrupted elder dryad could only lament as her lifeless body dropped down and burned to ashes. A flower bud looking object dropped as well and this was the Grafts of the defeated corrupted elder dryad.
[You have defeated the corrupted elder dryad. You have gained experience points.]
Adrian coughed up blood as he used too much mana in order to create a rift that redirected the thorn that the corrupted elder dryad shot out. This was now the default reaction for Adrian when he bottoms out his mana as health is used instead. He did not know when this happened as normal people even demons will experience dizziness when they lose all their mana.
"Maybe it is one of the perks of being a Champion? There are stories of myths about champions fighting to the death despite being tired and exhausted. I can finally look at that stone." Adrian stated as he pulled out the stone from his pocket since he could not hide it in his inventory.

Item Name: Piece of ???
Item Tier: Unknown
Item Type: Unknown
Item Effect:
-An item that gives off an eerie and unknown power that can either harm or benefit the user.
Description: A stone said to have been born when the world was created but that is all speculative. It has yet to give off its real purpose and is said to bring misfortune to those that try and use the energy it exudes. Not much is known about this stone, but it seems to be something incredibly important.

"Even the name is blocked. The fact that even my own eye could not decipher it means that it is almost divine in nature." Adrian stated.
"Master, please hand me that stone. I will make sure to maximize its use." Paradox stated as if it was excited, but its monotone mechanical voice is what Adrian heard.
"Do you know the use of this stone?" Adrian asked.
"I do not have a definitive answer, but it is similar to a fragment of Chaos. Unlike the fragment, this stone seems to have been sealed away in a material that absorbs negative energy in the area." Paradox stated.
"You can have it since I now have ownership of it. I have also completed the quest so there are no problems." Adrian stated as he looked at the notification.
"Thank you, master. I will make sure to decode its power for you." Paradox stated.
[You have completed the quest \'Unknown Object of Power\'.]
[You have gained ownership of the Unknown Object of Power that the Black Fairy Mavros previously used.]
[You can now get the item promised by the Fairy King once you report that you have gained the Unknown Object of Power.]
Adrian looked around and saw that he basically destroyed a part of the forest. He could have restored it, but Wisteria is not with him. Adrian drank a mana potion and tried to revert time in order to restore at least the area. He did not summon Saena as well because she was guarding Wisteria in Avalon.
"I guess that is the best that I can do. Still, that dryad is a bit strange as she had a human soul is mixed in with her own." Adrian stated as he restored most of the land that he destroyed but the trees that died could not be reverted back since they are still alive. He also found it odd that a dryad has two souls in her body but it was fortunate that both passed to the afterlife. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Adrian then picked up the flower bud that is the Grafts of the corrupted elder dryad. Adrian could feel the immense cursed energy in the Grafts as if it was used in a foul ritual. He hid this in his inventory and determine to give it to Hexy since she would be the only one that can purify such an item. Seeing that he did all he could, Adrian created a portal and vanished from his location.

"She is gone! Scouts, go to the location and investigate what happened to one of our own. Retrieve her Grafts if it is still there." The Black Fairy Mavros stated as she was connected to all of the dryads that she revived. She wanted to believe that the dryad made a mistake and offended someone but the disapearance was sudden.
