19 Goblinbone Totem

[Communication Page]

[The temporary owner has received a Blue-Ranked Equipment, the Goblinbone Totem]

'Swoosh'

Soon, a wooden staff-like piece of equipment came out from the Grimoire of Life and Death and fell in front of Aeon.

'As I expected, it really gave me Blue-Ranked Equipment.'

Even though Aeon was expecting Blue-Ranked Equipment, he was still surprised to see it fall in front of him.

'So, this is a Goblinbone Totem…it looks just like a mage's staff except for the goblinoid patterns and signs.'

Aeon carefully observed its external features.

The base of the Goblinbone Totem was a wooden stick with mysterious goblinoid patterns and signs and on top of it, there was a small goblin skull with sapphire blue gems embedded in the sockets.

'Let's check out what effects it has.'

After observing the cleanly polished totem which gave an eerie but captivating aesthetician look, Aeon used the free assessment of the [Assessment Page].

[Assessment Page]

[Equipment Name: Goblinbone Totem]

[Grade: Blue]

[Effect: 1) By holding it, the user can decrease the battle prowess of the goblins he was fighting by 20 percent]

[Special Effect: Goblin Offering: The user can offer Goblin Essence Crystals to the Goblinbone Totem to get something in exchange]

[Goblin Summoning (Blue-Ranked Skill): The user can summon 10 goblins with the same cultivation as him for 10 minutes to assist him in his battle with a cooldown of one day]

[Note: Since the temporary user is only a Life Blood Soldier, he could only use one-tenth power of the Blue-Ranked Skill. Thus, he could summon only one Goblin Soldier]

The information about the Goblinbone Totem was a little lengthy; however, Aeon read one line after another carefully to fully understand it.

'T-this…this is…'

With each line, Aeon read about the Goblinbone Totem, the more shocked and excited he felt in his heart.

'Just the first effect is enough to make things a little bit easier for me to complete one-tenth of my trial and by killing more goblins, I can get more equipment from the Grimoire of Life and Death.'

Just thinking about it made Aeon want to rush out of the cave to test its effects against the goblins.

However, Aeon knew how to suppress his hot-bloodedness and focused on the next effect.

'Huh? A special effect? This looks just like my second blessing [Devouring Effect]; however, instead of offering corpses, I need to offer Goblin Essence Crystals to it.'

Aeon revealed a slight smile as he muttered, 'I can finally use the Goblin Essence Crystals on me as offerings to the Goblinbone Totem.'

For the current him, who has yet to enter the Celestial World Tree, the Goblin Essence Crystals are considered normal stones.

However, if he could exchange them for some gifts, Aeon could not ask for more.

'Adding to the nine Goblin Essence Crystals I received earlier, I now have a total of 12 Goblin Essence Crystals. I wonder what I can get by offering them.'

Aeon was not expecting much from the Goblinbone Totem and compared to the [Devouring Effect] of his Grimoire of Life and Death, the [Goblin offering] was not much enticing to him.

The Goblinbone Totem was just a Blue-Ranked item whereas the Grimoire of Life and Death….Aeon didn't know exactly what grade it was; however, he was sure about one thing and it was definitely above Dark Gold.

'Anyway, compared to that the skill attached to it is very useful; however, due to the restriction, I can only summon one Goblin Soldier.'

Aeon had already expected it. So, he was not disappointed much about it.

In this world, there was a restriction on the equipment where a low-level cultivator couldn't use the high-level equipment.

The higher the difference between their strength and the level of the equipment, the more restrictions there would be.

Since Aeon was just a Life Soldier realm cultivator, the restriction for him to use the Blue-ranked equipment would be a little high as there were two grades of difference between them.

'Summoning one goblin soldier is also good as I can use him to scout ahead.'

Aeon set his safety as the highest priority and thus, he was extremely satisfied with the skill to summon a Goblin Soldier.

'Now, let's see what this Goblinbone Totem will offer me in exchange for the Goblin Essence Crystals?'

After checking out everything, Aeon decided to use the effect [Goblin Offering] before focusing on his cultivation.

'How do I offer these Goblin Essence Crystals to it? Do I have to feed it?'

While wondering how to do it, Aeon put one of the Goblin Essence Crystals close to the skull.

'Swoosh'

'Gulp'

In the next second, the skull widely opened its mouth and devoured the Goblin Essence Crystal in a single bite.

However, there was no reaction from the Goblinbone Totem, making Aeon offer another Goblin Essence Crystal.

The process continued as Aeon gave one Goblin Essence Crystal after another and eventually, the Goblinbone Totem started shining brightly after Aeon fed the tenth Goblin Essence Crystal.

'It's finally reacting.'

Aeon heaved a sigh of relief when he saw it was glowing.

It was because he was left with only two Goblin Essence Crystals and if the Goblinbone Totem didn't react, then it would take time for him to get his hands on more Goblin Essence Crystals.
