Chapter 715: Chapter 715 – Lunar Tear Crystal
The Ancestral Wielder of the Greed Champion was once the ruler of the Dragon race, the mightiest being in Yunatea’s history. However, their reign was ultimately brought to ruin by the Pride Champion, the High Elf Queen-who now rules the Central Continent, specifically the Kingdom of Calenvalis.
The High Elf Queen formed an unholy alliance with King Bael, the ruler of Hell. Together, their pact led to the annihilation of the dragon race. Dragons were hunted and slaughtered, their once-mighty kingdom crushed. Even the Dragon King, the First Ancestral Wielder of the Greed Champion, was ultimately defeated, their power extinguished.
But the war didn’t truly end there. It was foretold that the dragon lineage would endure, as a successor had been born-a hidden heir, prophesied to rise as the Dragon Princess, the next Ancestral Wielder of the Greed Champion.
The tale of the Dragon Princess faded into obscurity, buried by the passage of time. That is, until years before the Players’ arrival in Yunatea, when whispers emerged of a devastating raid that annihilated the Dragonkin tribe in the West Continent.
This raid was said to have been orchestrated by emissaries of the High Elf Queen, determined to hunt down the elusive Dragon Princess.
The story of her escape and disappearance remains cloaked in mystery. However, rumors suggest her survival was made possible by the intervention of a revered figure in Yunatea- particularly celebrated in the East Continent-the Moon Goddess.
The Moon Goddess was long rumored to be intertwined with Yunatea’s most pivotal events and was said to share a deep bond with the First Ancestral Wielder of the Sloth Champion, King Elandorr.
Though King Elandorr was believed to have perished ages ago, his name resurfaced when Broken successfully completed the Trial Domain and encountered a fragment of Elandorr’s soul.
Back in the present, during earlier encounters, Ivana had been nothing more than an ordinary NPC living in a quiet coastal area of the Dissidia Kingdom. Raised by a humble mining family, her life was simple and uneventful-until a sudden, life-altering moment. When the person who had adopted her passed away, everything changed. In that instant, Ivana ascended to the status of a Special NPC.
As a shielder, Ivana gained a reputation for possessing an arsenal of overpowered skills. Strangely, these abilities only emerged under certain conditions-primarily when they involved protecting the people or things she cared for the most. This became evident during critical moments, such as defending Deadbay City or aiding… Broken.
No special NPC could manifest such extraordinary skills spontaneously, unless they bore a Sin Blessing-specifically, that of the Greed Champion, who possessed the unique ability to craft any skill they desired. This power marked her as the rightful heir to the Dragonblood Throne and the legacy of the Greed Champion.
“Yes, Ivana is the Dragon Princess,” Maylock said. “The quest is S-rated. I’m certain the reward will give us a chance to win this war. More importantly, if we can break the seal that locks away her true power, it will be our turning point-the greatest opportunity we have to end this war. It’s the only way.”
Broken reached into his inventory and retrieved something from it.
[Unique-grade All You Need Ticket]
It was a reward he had earned after completing the quest ‘Uncovering the Hero of Destiny,’ a mission tied to King Elandorr’s legacy, granted to him through the heirloom ring he’d won during the competition in the Dissidia Kingdom.
“Activate the ticket,” Maylock said.
Broken hesitated, his grip tightening on the item. “What will happen to Ivana?”
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the situation was growing increasingly dire. One by one, important figures fell. After the frontline defenders like Optimus, Skywarden, and Kingsley were killed, even Goldrich and Elincia succumbed to Focalor’s relentless onslaught.
With fewer damage dealers and close-range defenders remaining, the battlefield’s momentum tilted dangerously in Focalor’s favor. The absence of Broken had left a massive void, allowing the Named Demon to target high-priority damage dealers with ease, his attacks almost unchallenged.
Focalor soared swiftly through the chaos, his eyes locking onto Ivana. The girl raised her shield, bracing herself for his assault. But before the demon could reach her, a massive hammer came hurtling toward him. With a cold, thin smile, Focalor caught the hammer mid- air effortlessly, then flung it back with incredible force.
The hammer crashed into Fokil, sending him flying across the battlefield with a devastating impact.
Alora seized the opening, darting in with her blade. However, Focalor moved with lightning speed, grabbing her by the throat. Alora dropped her sword, her hands clawing at his grip in a desperate attempt to break free.
With a single powerful kick, Focalor struck Ivana’s shield, sending her sprawling to the ground. He landed over her, pinning her face into the dirt with his foot. Shadowy tendrils emerged from the ground, binding her in place and rendering her unable to fight back.
Frostedge rushed in, closing the distance to launch a melee assault. However, it was clear he was struggling to maintain his offense while defending himself against the demon’s overwhelming power.
With a sinister gleam in his eye, Focalor formed a massive shadow tendril resembling a spear. The dark weapon surged forward, piercing Frostedge’s chest with brutal force, lifting him off the ground and hurling him far beyond the battlefield.
The situation was grim. Victory was slipping further from their grasp with each passing moment.
No matter what happens, there was no better choice left for them to make.
Broken had made his decision-this was their only hope, their one chance to turn the tide.
[Unique-grade All You Need Ticket activated.]
The ticket in his hand ignited, engulfed by a radiant light before disintegrating into nothingness. Notifications flooded his vision.
[Analyzing the most suitable item required by the activator in the current situation.]
[Analyzing all scenarios.]
[The blessing from the Moon Goddess interferes with the ticket.]
The Moon Goddess? Again?
Why was her influence always intertwined with these pivotal moments?
[Her blessing has been infused into the item and successfully triggered the most desired
outcome from the ticket.]
[You have gained her recognition and appreciation.]
[The item has been decided: you have received Mythic-grade Lunar Tear Crystal.]
The notifications faded, leaving Broken holding the shimmering crystal, its glow pulsating
faintly with ethereal energy.
[A radiant crystal imbued with the essence of the Moon Goddess, crafted to suppress or restore hidden powers and memories. It holds the ability to break seals created with divine energy, revealing the true identity and potential of its bearer.]
[Effect:]
[- Dispels divine seals that hide powers, identities, or memories.]
[- Unlocks the full potential of the affected individual.]
[The Lunar Tear Crystal was forged in ancient times by the Moon Goddess herself, meant to safeguard those burdened with dangerous legacies or overwhelming destinies. It can only be activated in the presence of someone whose sealed potential aligns with their destined path.]
“Ivana…” Broken whispered, his voice barely audible as he clenched his fist tightly. This was their only chance, the only option left.
Without hesitation, he activated the Lunar Tear Crystal. A brilliant light erupted from his hand, radiating with an almost divine glow.
At the same moment, far across the battlefield where Ivana lay pinned under Duke Focalor’s grasp, a similar light began to shine, emanating from her. The sudden burst of energy caught everyone’s attention, piercing through the chaos.
[Congratulations, you’ve successfully completed the quest.]
The notification flashed before Broken’s eyes, a sign that their decision had finally paid off.
