Chapter 814 New Discovery!
Several days after leaving the Tower of Leo, Jacob wondered the path of legend, hoping to find new clues about other keys of legend. Yet the path of Legend seemed boundless as many unique terrains were riddled with dangers and opportunities.
Furthermore, Jacob felt uneasy because he thought the other participants might have already reached the towers and were in trials, and that's why no one bothered to wander around.
He even found the corpse of a dwarf, killed by someone recently, as all its treasures were gone, but he didn't see anything. But his search became even more rigorous. One day, Jacob entered a gloomy forest and suddenly stumbled upon an ancient ruin deep in the shadows, where the canopy above blocked most of the sunlight. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The ruins were crumbled and overgrown, but what piqued Jacob's interest was that he found something peculiar among the broken stones—one of the fractured stone pillars had a groove, which was extremely familiar.
At this moment, Jacob felt he was struck by lightning as it finally drew to him.
'The path of legend can not be accessed only by legendary keys but also with a Star Ocean Medallion!'
Indeed, this groove was precisely shaped like the Star Ocean Medallion, and even the markings were like the compass. Jacob felt he had stumbled upon something big, so without hesitation, he took out his Star Ocean Medallion that he had gotten from the Epic Plains Trail and tried placing it in the groove.
To his surprise, not only did it fit perfectly, but the next moment, the need within the medallion suddenly started to spin, and the broken pillar trembled slightly. What happened next was even more startling, as the pillar suddenly vanished and was replaced by a rusty metal box.
The Star Ocean Medallion also fell and returned to its dormant state as if it had served its purpose. Jacob quickly stowed away the medallion before picking up the rusty metal box, which was unlocked to boot. A worn piece of parchment was hidden within a rusted metal box. When Jacob opened the parchment, it depicted a partially faded map with symbols he recognized from one of the Zodiacs. In the corner, a faint outline of a tower was marked, encircled by symbols of darkness.
Hours into his perilous journey, Jacob came upon a dark altar at the center of a clearing. It was made from obsidian stone, and runes similar to those he had seen on the ruin from which he had obtained the map were etched into its surface.
At the base of the altar, Jacob found another groove similar to that ancient pillar, and without hesitation, he used the medallion again. The next moment, the altar began to glow with an ominous light, and a new path opened before him, leading into a deep, narrow canyon.
"This must be it," Jacob thought as the air around him grew colder. He picked up the medallion, stowed it away again, and entered the narrow canyon.
The canyon led Jacob to an underground cavern hidden beneath the corrupted valley. As he ventured deeper into the earth, the darkness became suffocating. His steps echoed through the winding tunnels until he reached a massive underground clearing. It was like another world of darkness.
At this moment, Jacob spotted something in the distance. Rising from the center stood the Tower of Virgo—a spire of black obsidian, even darker than the surroundings, seemingly absorbing any light that dared touch it.
A faint, dark mist surrounded the tower, and its surface was covered in intricate symbols that glowed with faint, purplish light. It was a cold, eerie sight, far more foreboding than the Tower of Leo.
Jacob could feel the power of darkness radiating from the structure completely opposite to the light, as though the tower itself was alive.
The mist surrounding the tower could beguile and trap anyone, but with the Eyes of Judge, it was useless again, Jacob said as he approached the tower's door.
Without hesitating, he takes out the Legendary Master Key, and the tower's voice rings at that moment.
"Seeker of Zodiac, you may enter!"
