Chapter 691: Shock

Kaizen's fingers trembled as he carefully removed the sheet covering the thing in the center of the room. A soft, almost ethereal light shone through the thin fabric, and when the sheet finally slid to the floor, the crystal's glow illuminated Kaizen's face with magical blue hues.

After a few moments of surprise, Kaizen, his voice barely audible, whispered:

"That's it... a Mana Crystal."

The object under the sheet was a large crystal, with several points, but with a unique glow, which illuminated the entire dark chamber the second it was discovered. This object seemed to hold within it unfathomable secrets, as if each shining facet held a millennia-old story. Kaizen, in a trance, reached out to touch it, hesitantly at first, but then with determination. When his fingers came into contact with the smooth, cool surface of the crystal, a wave of warmth and knowledge enveloped him.
