Chapter 104—Trial of Wisdom
'Yes, I can do it,' the young man, Thomas, cheered himself up as he clenched the staff tighter.
"Quick, Thomas! Use the artifact!" his teammate—the tank—yelled as an insane gust and dark demonic force spread across the area.
Thomas broke into a sweat as he stared at the multicolored slime in front of him.
It was wrapped in demonic force, and winds blew from the pressure it gave off.
"I need to use this… lend me power for my will," he said, closing his eyes.
He had heard about the dangers of using sealed artifacts—corruption and death by becoming its vessel.
'I won't use the sealed artifact for long—just a few times—and be done. It's for her… for her to fall for me,' he thought, sneaking a peek at the beautiful brown-haired woman standing near him.
He activated the staff. It glowed with black energy.
However, before he could even feel its power, a chill ran down his spine.
The slime was already right in front of him. It punched him.
