Chapter 290: 287: Treasure Hunting

The droplet of guidance, in Val's estimation, was akin to a compass that would point him towards the correct path when certain conditions were met.

It should be noted that the droplet of guidance wasn't the first artifact of its kind that Val had in his possession.

He also possessed the Truth Reflecting Mirror that he got from killing the Dryard not too long ago. It was an item that promised to show him valuable information about the lesser dimension when the time was right.

Merging the insights derived from both artifacts, an epiphany dawned upon him. By vanquishing the primary elements within the lesser dimension, he was collecting pivotal tools, akin to keys. These "keys" were instrumental in his quest to seal the dimension and prevent its unpredictable forces from wreaking havoc on Eldrich, the world that he came from with Oliver and many others!
