The Villain's Story

Chapter 409 [409] Elijah's Reasons.





"What the heck?"

[Trial of the thirtieth floor is blocked. Please wait.]

Elijah was confused, He was trying to access the thirtieth floor but he was being blocked.

What was happening?

With a look of confusion on his face, Elijah examined the surroundings. But to his dismay, he could not find anything wrong with it. He looked around again and again.

But nothing.

"What's happening?"

He asked, waiting for the tower to reply. But strangely enough, the talkative tower was silent.

Completely silent.

[Supreme Dragon of Fire Agri advises you to wait.]

"Tch."

Elijah clicked his tongue. Since even Agri told him to wait, he should wait.

Whenever he followed Agri's advice, it always turned out to be for the better. He sat down on the ground and contemplated his next course of action.

Curious, he opened the System shop which was exclusive only to him to see if there was something worth buying. He accessed the Potion category.

A long list of potions appeared in front of him on a blue display.

Elijah sighed, not finding anything worth it. He scrolled down, the most he could and gazed at the final three potions with greed in his eyes.

He would be lying if he said he didn't want them.

Why wouldn't he?

–Elven Tear, 1,000,000,000 points.

[ Item Name: Elven Tear

Rarity: Legendary

Description:

The Elven Tear is a mythical item of unparalleled beauty and power, believed to be a crystalline teardrop shed by an ancient Elven deity. It is coveted by everyone, the Elves deem it one of the highest artifacts of value, They are kept in the Royal castle of the Elven Empire on Elvenheim.

Millions have tried to steal them, but only a handful have succeeded.

The Elven Tear is a flawless, translucent crystal, perfectly faceted into the shape of a teardrop. It shimmers with an otherworldly, iridescent glow, shifting through hues of emerald green, sapphire blue, and amethyst purple. A delicate silver chain, barely visible, suspends it as a pendant. It is mostly carried by the Royalty of the Elven empire.

It is said that the first elven tear was formed when the World Tree wept for the first time, saddened by the loss of life that resulted in a battle across the entire universe against a lone dragon. Legends say that the tree wept for years, and its tears fell like rain, the tears were all so powerful they gave the elven empire strength that surpassed all. Even the Abyssal Armies.I think you should take a look at

But all was for naught.]

Elijah was almost salivating when he looked at the description of the Elven tear…But it was so expensive!

One Billion points! Elijah didn't even have a million points! Where wa she supposed to get a thousand?

Just where? This was nonsense!

This was why he was so desperately trying to clear the tower, He couldn't afford the price of an Elven tear even if he spent a decade doing nothing but the quests of the system!

"Too damn expensive…"

Elijah remarked, sighing at his poverty. Whenever he opened the system shop he always thought one thing.

He was poor.

[Supreme Dragon of Fire Agri laughs.]

"..."

And even Agri was laughing at him now. Could this get any worse?

—Panacea Phial.

1,000,000,000,00.

A hundred billion…what the fuck was the system thinking. No one could buy this! Well, he was the only one who had it as far as he knew but still…this was monstrous! This can't be done!

A hundred billion! That number was just too high, Even doing the quests for a decade would not be enough to be able to buy that…

But By the will of the celestial Gods…it was good.

[Item Name: Panacea Phial]

Description: The Panacea Phial is an item, shrouded in mystery and whispered about in tales, it was created by the first king of Elves, and no such has appeared again. It is a slender, crystal-clear vial adorned with intricate silver filigree and capped with a glistening emerald stopper. When held, it radiates a gentle, soothing light, giving it an aura of unparalleled potency. It was the most prized possession of the First King of Elvenheim.

[Properties]

Elijah gulped, he had never seen this thing before. But then again, the system had leveled up during his training and he didn't bother checking it…so maybe it was added then.

The item was so great that Elijah wouldn't mind going to any lengths to obtain it. To be able to dispel the powers of the Supreme beings as well… was amazing.

But there was something even more amazing.

—(Insufficient system level to view item.)

There was something even greater than it, something that was shrouded in mystery for now.

Elijah rested his back against the wooden wall and tried to fall asleep again, but he could not.

'His' reason for entering the tower played vividly in his mind, over and over again.

He had a reason for climbing too…something he couldn't just gloss over.

Elton's life was at stake.

[Supreme Dragon of Fire Agri assures you that you will succeed.]

"Thanks." 

Elijah felt relieved hearing Agri's comforting words…but deep in his heart.

He had a feeling things would go wrong. Terribly wrong.
